please guys DO NOT take this class. Dr Cherry seldom gives neither a B nor an A. I may not be a genius. However, being on a 3.9 GPA after taking about 13 classes, gives me great concern about Dr cherry's method of grading. I used all resources available, visited the writing center, utilised Trio's help, yet had a C. Worst Professor ever!!!

He is a good teacher only if you love reading and writing. He doesn't grade papers until the last week of the semester and you have no idea what is your grade in that class! I will never take his class ever again, it was a mistake.

This professor is the worst professor in this entire world. He expect you to be expert before you can learn anything from him. He is such a rude person who never wants you to pass and always wants bad of his students. He thinks he is genius. He does his best to fail you. Stay away from this rude fellow

Two things: show up to class and follow instructions; easy A. I took this class during the summer, so the workload was a bit overwhelming but this teacher made the class as essay as possible. He told us EXACTLY what he wanted in his papers, he gave us an outline and textbook pages with all the info we needed. It's a college course so this is fair.

DO NOT take his class, he talks about himself and his amazing achievements all the time, about his car and blabla. He takes forever to give your essays back because like he says, he does not work on weekends and he also has 175 students (very specific because he says that every class! BORING). Tough grader that does not accept your writing style.

Currently terrified of failing despite doing all of my work. He is very unhelpful-almost none of the lectures we have directly pertain to the strenuous papers we have. He is scatterbrained and unfocused and will rant about WHO KNOWS WHAT past classes end time, then tries to rush and actually give instructions. strict on VAGUE rules, fails skippers.

If you have trouble writing papers get help at the writing center. He also gives extra credit for this on each paper. I will admit he is a tough grader on those who struggle with writing. He gives you about 2-3 weeks for each paper. If you don't understand make sure you ask questions he will help you. Dont miss a lot of days or you won't pass.

Dr. Cherry as a professor is very knowledgeable. You can tell that he cares about his students. However, I believe that he is getting overwhelmed with all of his classes. I have not received any of my assignments back from him except my oral report, which was graded as I gave my report. Don't miss any classes, because he takes attendance seriously.

Dr Cherry is serious about row call the first few weeks. He is a very nice man and gives you several opportunities to turn in late work and will go over things several times. If you dont pass his class its your own fault. He does go off topic at times but I thought when he did he was hilarious and enjoyed his stories

When I first registered for his class I was skeptic because of his ratings, but if you do the work he really is a great professor. He's understanding when you talk to him and he tells you personal stories to keep lectures interesting. He can be strict, but it helps you a lot. Overall he is a great professor, hard grader but not impossible either.

I really could have taken this online. He would talk on and off about the subject for an hour and half in a 2 hour class and the last 30 minutes give hour assignment. It was a lot of unnecessary info. I could have saved a lot of time taking it online with a textbook! He also had us buy this textbook that we only used about 4 times in a 5 week class

I didn't really care for his class. I took it in the morning on a T/R class and should've taken it online for the simple fact that I didn't have to face his repetitive nature and the countless times he would go off track. While he is a good professor and means well, he needs to stop and think before continuing, especially towards politics.

Since going online, I've boosted Dr. Cherry to a 5 out of 5. He's a great professor (or would it be a doctor?), but I'm a terrible student and have basically trolled him with a handful of emails, and anyone who can put up with that and not get angry deserves some credit. I still don't know my grade though. Good guy, though

By far the worst professor I've ever had in college. Preaches about turning stuff in on time but doesn't put your grades into black board till the last week of the semester. Re- teaches the same stuff every class so you really don't learn anything new. Grades unreasonably hard. I'll drop out of college before I take him again for any class.

Professor Cherry was one of the most difficult teachers I've dealt with. I'm having to take this course online due to the pandemic, which based on reading other reviews, I am grateful for. He is a VERY hard grader. Most of the instructions are not very clear, and navigating the course work is very confusing. His grading schedule is rediculous.

Dr. Cherry's class is very straight forward. He was great with reminders on due dates. The reading assignments are not graded, but to prepare you for the essays. I personally never did them, but I did make sure to review the videos in order to help write my essays. The Discussion Boards are easy. If you do the work, you will do great.
