the problem is that she doesn't spoon feed! if you're too lazy to do the work, then she's not a good prof, but if you really want to learn it and figure things out, then she's great!

She is a very helpful prof who will do anything to help a student pass. You do have to teach yourself and she doesn't spoon feed you everything you need to know but this is university and it is about time we started doing our work ourselves.

I've heard a lot of comments on Erika, most of them negative. I just don't agree, the problem with people not understanding her notes is that people tend not to do the reading for each class. So, if your willing to work when taking her class you'll get a lot out of it.

Overall I found her a decent teacher and very helpful and concerned for the welfare of her students. CHEM 1050 is one of the toughest first-year courses no mater who teaches it. Study hard, go to as many classes/tutorials/review sessions as you can, and do LOTS of practice problems. Anybody who expects an easy course is in for a rude awakening.

I found that Erika was very concerned about my progress in the course. She is very approachable and understanding, and realizes that the course material is difficult to grasp. Expect to do a lot of pre-class readings - She does call in students during lectures, but she asks something that she covered 5 min before, so pay attention in lecture!!!

I absolutely find Erika is the most caring and helpful professor when I definitely do concern about the Chemistry 1010 course; that is passing/failing. She is willing to try to give extra help to me when I seek and need it. Excellent, considerate, extremely friendly and knowledgeable professor. I really love Erika.

Like many profs, she is very helpful if you go see her outside of class. She seems concerned for how well students do in her course. Lectures are not always helpful, but the pre-class reading and quizzes will help a lot.

Erika is the biggest sweatheart in the chem building. She will go out of her way to ensure that students are doing well. Her marking is amazing. Even if you get a question on a test completely wrong but back up your answer logically you'll most likey get close to full marks. I loved her and she's good for inorganic. Labs in this course rough tho!

well, overall she is a very helpful prof; the course is just hard no matter who teaches it, too scattered for ppl doesnt have any background in chem. [1051 material should be taught first in my opinion]. take notes yourself during class, read the book and meet her after class if you got questions. very fair tests.

Impossible to follow in class. Her lectures aren't structured that well and she doesn't necessarily cover all the material. Her explanations in class are confusing. But she is extremely helpful outside of class. If you get her, go see her out of class time! It will help!! She's extremely smart and knows what she's talking about, but can't teach it.

Erika's such a sweetheart! She's one of the nicest women I've had the opportunity to be around. Sure, her teaching methods may be a little confusing to some, but if you put the time you need to into studying, then you'll have no problems what so ever.

You can tell she cares about what she teaches and if we are learning, shes's an amazing professor. I've never experienced a prof at MUN so willing to put in the extra time one on one. She also puts in a lot of work on the D2L page, which is extremely helpful.

On the positive side. This prof is approachable and helpful one on one. She has a large list of things to help you online. She will make time to help you. The negatives, She is confusing in class, her notes are not clear, she often wastes time asking students questions, she does not give answers, does she give outlines for test. Go see her for help

always willing to offer his help and wanted to make sure all the students understood what he was saying

Awesome prof, she is very knowledgeable about chemistry and is very understanding in terms of workload and exam stress. Super sweet lady, and is more than happy to help you outside of class if you need it!

Her notes are a bit disorganized, but in a course like Chem 2210 that's fine. Gives students as many chances to succeed as possible, friendly and genuinely cares about students' wellbeing. Sometimes she does assume you know vocabulary you don't, but will always clarify if asked. Went out of her way to make her course as painless as possible.

Erika's a really kind person, and genuinely cares about her students' wellbeing and success in the course. She always went out of her way to make things easier to understand and lessen our workload! She can be a bit disorganized at times, but made up for it with her knowledge of course material and willingness to help! Great prof for 2210!

One of the nicest, kindest and most caring teachers at MUN in my opinion she will help you no matter what problem you have and will work with you one on one to make sure you understand. I would not be passing if it wasn't for Prof. Merschrod

Professor Merschrod is one of the kindest educators I have had the pleasure of meeting. Offered extra resources when I had difficulty with the material, flexible office hours, wants you to succeed!

Erika is passionate about chemistry and genuinely wants her students to succeed. The course only had 5 quizzes and a final, all of which were untimed. The only bad part is she doesn't post actual lectures, but she posts the textbook with helpful little videos and notes added into it. She made this course very easy and I would recommend her!

Dr. Merschrod was a fantastic prof. She was incredibly caring and did a great job of understanding and accommodating the stress that students have gone through during online school. The Unit quizzes were untimed, which allowed for more of a chance to understand and process the material. Would definitely recommend!

Best prof you could ever have. Very lenient with quizzes and deadlines. The most considerate prof you will ever come across.

One of the most caring profs I've ever had. Her lectures can be disorganized, but success in her class is very obtainable. Quizzes and the final exam were open-book and untimed. Optional assignments could be completed to boost your grade. She offered many resources to ensure you were on track, including online meetings during evaluations.

Erika is the most considerate and accomadating prof I've ever had. Unfortunately, it can almost be too much, as some may struggle to learn with such little structure and no hard deadlines. Success is extremely attainable in her course. Take her if you need an easy pass, go with a more structured prof if chem is important for your future courses.

Prof. Merschrod is incredibly caring and accommodating. Her leniency with quizzes and assignments makes the course very manageable, though lectures can be disorganized. Using Unstuck AI and the textbook were key to success.

The most accommodating prof ever. Would definitely recommend if you have a heavy course load and only need to pass the course, however maybe not if you actually need to learn the material. Having flexible deadlines and an online, untimed final was so helpful. As a busy Eng student she made my life a lot easier.

Dr. Merschrod was very accommodating however, the lectures had barely any material used in the tests. Lectures were honestly a waste of your time. If you enjoy group work, she often groups students for practice sheets. All quizzes and the final were online. The course is an easy A, but if you need to know the material, I wouldn't recommend.
