merry perry is by far the coolest teacher...not hard at all, she's very hip, and you can talk about anything w/ her
I LOVE HER!! She is the coolest and is so understanding. No tests!! She makes me feel like I am in high school again b/c she makes the class fun. If you dont take her as a teacher....u are CRAZY!
She is awesome. Knows how to teach WELL. She wants you to suceed. Will do anything to make it possible for you.
the best teacher i ever had she is like my best friend
Coolest teacher I've had. Very down to earth, really tries to form relationships with students.Guaranteed good grade if you do the work...nothing too challenging. I'd take her again!
best teacher ever...she ends up being your friend by the time your done
She probably the best teacher Ive had so far in my three years. She is willing to help you no matter what and understands if you get comlpetely comfused. Shes fair! Thats the biggest thing. She is always fair. If you study, youll get an A. Simple as that.
perry is awesome. She is the kind of woman who makes me proud to be a feminist. papers and quizzes straightforward (if you do the work). she is very easygoing and cool.
Typical WCU professor: lacks real insight, doesn't challenge students, and pretends to be liberal because it's the cool thing to do. If you want an easy 'A' she's your woman.
Dr. Perry was awesome. If you don't take her for your WRT requirements, you are very stupid. Dr. Perry is also one of the sexiest teachers I've ever had. Damn fine!
One of the best teachers I'v had. Not becuase the class is easy, but because she is very understanding, makes learning a hobbie. Easy to enjoy the class. Teaches you topic very well.
Bored to death. Watched several meaningless movies. Topic was "superhero" for the semester. We rated Harry Potter and commented on Angelina Jolie in TombRaider. If you need an easy A and can put up with a pathetic learning environment, go for it
Guaranteed 'A'. This class is the definition of a joke. Students run the class, and if you complain enough she'll cut down the work. Taught high school for many years, and makes that pretty obvious. Take it,I'm sure many of you could use a GPA booster.
Tries to sound "educated", but just makes a fool of herself. Pretends to be a liberal. Her class is something you would expect to find in Middle School...maybe a little easier. If you want an 'A" take her...if you want to learn, go to anoth
The woman pretends to be political, but she isn't fooling anyone. She will not improve your writing skills, but you will find out how many things look like the male reproductive organs. Holds low standards(common at this school) and is just uneducated.
Dr.Perry is the best teacher at WCU. I don't know whats wrong with the other people posting here. Clearly they did not want to be challenged. Dr Perry is BRILLIANT. She will help you no questions asked, and gives GREAT advice. I would reccomend her 100%
She is one of my favorite teachers at WCU. She is extremely helpful and understanding. She made the class fun. I hate writing, but she helped to include other topics besides just writing. If you hate writing and enjoy films, definitely take it with her.
thinks she is liberal but is not. this class is truly a joke. wcu students should like it.
Great teacher, and very helpful, go to her for help and you will be in there talking like ya'll R best friends. Class is interesting and not hard at all, just hage to put some work into it. Make sure you study for your quizzes she gives she doesnt like it when we do bad,cuz she wants us to go good.
SHE IS AWESOME. I MISS HER. SHE IS A GREAT PROF..THE BEST ONE AT WCU
MERRY PERRYS AWESOME.IF YOU THINK DIFFERENT YOUR JUST A LOSER THAT DOESNT ENJOY DOWN TO EARTH PROFESSORS. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHES DOING.take her
i LOVE dr. perry.she actually cares about her students. she is fine to go off the topic or off the syllibus because she lieks to encourage student discussion about what is important to them.she is always willing to help improve your paper, take her if at all possible!!
Dr. Perry is one of the best LIT professors at WCU. Not only is the class easy but it is fun. Cant go wrong watching movies with her bringing food for the class to eat
Bringing food to class and watching movies is something that usually happens in middle school. I am not paying tuition to get cookies and a free viewing of Harry Potter.
Dr.Perry is one of the nicest professors in the English department. She will go out of her way to help you if you need it. She is very down to earth and easy to talk to. I recommend taking her 100%
Pop Culture is a joke. I'm not spending thousands of dollars a year to watch Harry Potter. Welecome to college, how about we do something remotely challenging?
Perry is a great teacher and she's a very interesting person and makes class enjoyable. She grades hard but meets with you to check papers. She gives a lot of out of class work so dont miss class, if u want a fun challenge, take her.
AMAZING TEACHER! She helped me so much with writing. She is always willing to help. Def take her! She's awesome!
Why do we even class? I can stay in my room and watch "The Matrix." I've actually taken this class twice...once in Kindegarten and then at West Chester.
She really cares about her students in every facet of their academic and non-academic lives
Merry Perry is a cool professor, but it seemed like she is unorganized. You are supposed to set up meetings with her to go over your papers, but don't be surprised if she's not there at the time you signed up for or if she like 10-20 min late. the class was easy, and the papers were simple.
Very easy class, alot of work that takes time but a little kid could complete it.
She was okay. The work load was really heavy, but she did give some slack from time to time. Good if you need her for a requirement, and she's actually a really cool person.
Man... this class was easy and interesting but also the most annoying. She's a good professor and all, but having those little easy assignments due every class period is so tedious. Be sure to do them all and go to class because it affects your grade tremendously.
This class was a joke! I learned more in my 2nd grade writing class than I did in WRT 120. This class was so easy, you could smack letters on your keyboard with your eyes closed and still get an A on her papers. Piece of cake. But beware: Merry Perry has a strange obsession with "phallic symbolism" and talks about sex a lot.
Dr. Perry is an excellent writing professor. She really taught us to observe things critically, at least in the sphere in pop culture. Her grading is fair and she's always willing to help by scheduling writing conferences. BUT, I must warn that if you're super-conservative, she talks about sex/sexuality quite freely.
best teacher!!!
Awesome teacher! Very funny and entertaining. I loved her! Read the text book and articles though because she takes questions on the test out of them!
Lit pop culture was a really enjoyable class- alot of the time we talked about video games, and lady gaga, but some weeks we learned more important things. if you're looking for a B with no effort, definitely take this class, and if you're looking for an A, also take this class.. but read the stuff assigned for each class, pay attention& take notes
She was the funniest, coolest teacher at WCU! I recomend her. She loves lady gaga, so get used to it! Quizes are fair and goes over it before it is given! easy.
Dr. Perry is an awesome professor. She is hilarious and makes class enjoyable to attend. Tests are very easy and clear. Read the textbook chapters that she assigns because she always puts at least one question on the test from the book. Aside from that, it's an easy A!
No txt bk, pay attention in class n when she talks,or read the readings n powerpoints...either way easy A, tests are cake-multi choice, she reviews them rite b4 u take them, great teacher i'd take her again if i could
AMAZING TEACHER, HIGHLY RECCOMEND
Great teacher! Lots of interaction with her and her students. No textbook needed which is awesome! Very fair grader as well.
Mary Perry is an awesome professor and the class she teaches is super fun. If not an A, its an easy B, but just read over your notes and powerpoints before quizzes. She is such a fun teacher and going to her class is fun (she doesn't take attendance). Always listens to ideas and comments from students. Overall great. TAKE HER!!!
I hate her for my first seminar and let me just say shes one of the best teachers I've ever had. It's not because she's easy but because she truly cares about her students and I learned SO much from her. She is a great teacher! I'm still going to her classes in the fall even if I'm not registered for them =)
Merry Perry is one of the best teachers at wcu. If you have the chance to have her take it! She actually makes class enjoyable.
Great teacher! She's hilarious! And crazy smart.
Class was very easy, she never took attendance. Study for the quizzes and you should get a good grade, all the material is from her powerpoints
She's easily one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is hilarious, very easy to relate to, and makes class a lot of fun. She uses powerpoints, but I would highly recommend going to class. There are some things she puts on quizzes and tests that are discussion or lecture only - not on the powerpoints. Easy B if not an easy A.
Definitely take this class!! It is extremely easy and she has been my favorite teacher so far. As long as you attend class you will get an easy A. I got an A and never even took notes, you just have to pay attention.
Dr. Perry is an excellent professor. She absolutely loves what she is doing. Her class isn't too difficult if you understand the material and go to her for extra help. Stay on top of your papers and you will be fine!
Merry Perry! DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND TAKE HER!! She is amazing and wants you to do well. You get to revise your papers and you get to read The Hunger Games!! :) Definitely recommend!
MERRY PERRY YESSSSS! I follow her on mywcu to schedule with her. She is amazing! You will learn a lot and never want to miss her class. FANTASTIC prof.
Best professor I've had at wcu! She's so friendly and fun to be around. The class was pop culture so I found everything interesting, we mostly watched clips. We don't have to buy books because she uploaded articles that we really didnt hve to read. Just study PPTs and you should pass. Attendance isn't mandatory but I never minded coming anyway.
BEST teacher at WCU. I loved her and her humor. The material is very easy and enjoyable. This is a great class
She is HILARIOUS. Such a fun teacher to be around and just start a conversation with. I got really ill during the semester, and she worked with me to get everything made up, but understood I had other responsibilities. She's understanding and caring. Always looking for students input. Great professor.
Realistic, funny, intelligent woman. Can be disorganized at times, but it's kind of adorable.
Best teacher ever her class was really easy and she is very understanding and helps you out a lot she is a hard grader on essays though but besides that take this class she used the textbooks in the beginning but towards the end she didnt use them at all
She's awesome, easily one of my favorite professors at West Chester. If you have the opportunity you should absolutely take her.
Merry Perry is a hilarious character! She lectures on really interesting topics! I enjoy her class, but feel as though I could not attend class and still get an A. Such an awesome professor, fairly easy too! We got to read The Maze Runner which was pretty cool too! (:
Dr. Perry is one of the most entertaining and interesting professors I have ever had. I think what drew me to this course as a gen ed over HIS was the fact that it's Pop Culture. Her down to earth personality and teaching style is amazing. There are 5 quizzestests that are 35 questions with a cumulative final.
Her class is very interesting so i don't mind going. There is not too much reading and a lot of short videos followed by class discussion. Grade is based on 6 tests as well as one midterm and final. Try to show up and listen but if you miss a class or two it won't be the end of the world. She is also really nice and accommodating.
Merry Perry is so funny. Shes not afraid to curse in class. Material is very easy. Quizzes are on scantron and pretty straight forward. Take her class if you are looking for a laugh!
She was great! No homework, but there are 6 quizzes over the course of the semester, which are easy to pass as long as you show up to class. She makes the class an easy A and engages the class because the whole course is all about pop culture, which is interesting. We watched episodes of South Park, True Blood, and The Walking Dead. It was awesome.
Merry Perry is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my entire life. She's so nice and realistic. She edits your papers until you get the grade that you want. If your a great writer like to put in an effort to get an A, there is no reason why you wouldn't.
She makes it a fun class. You definitely need to study for the quizzes but no more than average. As long as you go to class 95% of the time and review the material before quizzes, you'll have an A.
I love dr. perry! she is a great teacher and really connects with her students. there are 4 papers and one of them is a pain in the ass, but all wrt students have to take it. merry helps you all along the way, and helps relieve the stress about the paper. she is amazing and i would take her again in a heartbeat. you can go to her about anything.
Lit 100 was super easy because Dr. Perry lectures about thing you'll actually find interesting. The tests are straight forward, she isn't one of those professors that will try to trick you. Just show up, pay attention, and read the few things she assigns, and you're golden.
Merry Perry is an angel. Shes the sweetest, kindest, most funny prof ive ever had. Her lectures are quick and interesting I look forward to going to her class every week! No textbook required and minimal homework/readings. If you show up and take notes you will pass
Dr. Perry is probably the best professor I'll have during my undergrad at West Chester. She focuses on teaching you actual critical thinking skills and not busy work. Quizzes are super easy and directly reflected off class material , which she reviews heavily. She was even great about me missing class time for work. Take the class. No textbook
Dr. Merry Perry is one of my favorite professors that I have taken. She makes the lectures enjoyable. I would recommend taking her class.
LIT 100 is without a doubt the easiest class you will every take. There are 5 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. She reviews right before each exam. Her class is interesting. She uses power points and posts them all on D2l. The information for the quizzes are taken directly from the power points. Easy A, GPA saver.
Professor Perry is a great professor. She is funny and really cares about her students. Her quizzes are not hard at all as long as you look over the power points on D2L before. She makes the class interesting and I would definitely take her again.
Dr. Perry is a good professor and a very funny person. This class is super easy if you go to class, pay attention, and review for each of the 5 quizzes. She is a bit disorganized at times and you probably won't learn much but its an easy gen ed. I would take her again.
Merry Perry is great don't get me wrong but extremely disorganized. She will have you submitting your papers till the weekend after finals week... Never puts grades on D2L so you never know what your grade is in the class. Other than that she is great and I loved the assignments but don't expect an A even if you earn it.
Fun class. She's hilarious and extremely helpful. Only downside was the type of pop culture we studied this semester. We don't have a say on what book and movies we get to study so we were stuck watching and reading zombie related stuff.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Merry Perry! She was so funny and I actually enjoyed going to her class. Easy A as long as you go to class. Take this class for an easy gen ed!
Dr. Perry is one of the sweetest people I know. Such an easy class for a gen ed and she gives you exactly what you need to do well on quizzes. There's five quizzes, a midterm, and a final. I got a B or higher on everything with little studying. She puts every slide on D2L and she holds study sessions in her office before quizzes.
Amazing teacher, easy A
Merry Perry is one of the best professors at West Chester! Absolutely take her if you have a chance! All the material is current and interesting! She relates to her students and is very helpful at her office hours before quiz days. Loved her class! Would absolutely take it again!
For her LIT class, you are graded only by quizzes and exams, but they're so easy you won't mind. She doesn't take attendance but class is fun and she gives all the answers to the tests in class. Final is not cumulative. She's a really nice lady who cares about her students, is really understanding and lenient.
Dr. Perry is awesome personality-wise, but a dry teacher. You learn the basics of writing: an introduction, a narrative, a persuasive paper, and the magazine project. Your grade is based on grammar and punctuation and you're allowed to correct and re-submit papers. Every week, we had to take online quizzes on D2L. Don't forget about them.
Great lady definitely an easy A
She is a hilarious person. The class is a really easy class, and you can basically only go on test days because she posts everything online. Sometimes I would get a bit irritated at various things we learned or had tests on, for example - we had a 180 question study guide on the matrix. The tests are also very nit picky about certain details.
Probably the easiest class at West Chester and interesting to go to
This class is so interesting and relevant! Merry Perry is hilarious and updates the class every semester so you're always talking about current trends in pop culture. I would absolutely take her again.
Merry Perry is literally one of the sweetest people ever. The only things that you're graded on in class are the quizzes that you take every 3-4 weeks. Everything is relevant and she keeps you interested throughout the entire class. Her tests aren't horrific, but you need to review a little. The biggest assignment is a 16 page movie study guide
Merry Perry is one of the best teachers ever. Our class was on pop culture, so it wasn't anything too hard. As long as you showed up or watched the shows outside of class you pass without any worry. I would take any class taught by her again in a heartbeat.
I loved Merry Perry for Lit 100! She not only made class fun but also very easy. She mad it clear what questions would be on the test, and while some were very specific, she gives you many tools to do well. We were even allowed to used our film notes for an exam. I had her for WRT, while she might be easy, its not as great as LIT. Easy/fun A :)
the best class I've ever had, i would retake it with her just for fun. highly recommend !!!!!!
Absolute best professor!! If you take this class you will not be disappointed. I don't normally write reviews of professors but had to for Merry Perry. She is amazing and really wants to see every student succeed. She is always willing to help. Attendance isn't mandatory but most people go just because its enjoyable. Take this class!!
Hands down the best professor in the school. She's hilarious and has no filter. Easy A
very easy class. if you have the chance to take it, dont hesitate to take this class.
Such an easy and fun class. Would totally take this class again. She is one of the best professors and she's really helpful as well.
One of the best professors I've had at WCU. Class is super easy and lectures are actually interesting. Show up to class because she usually collects class work for participation points. Would definitely recommend.
One of the best professors I've had at WCU. Class is super easy and lectures are actually interesting. Show up to class because she collects classwork for participation points. Definitely recommend this class.
This, by far, was the worst class I have ever taken. Not only was there almost no organization, but readings were often posted the night before we had to have them completed. Also, because the class didn't do well on a quiz that she said did not matter, she assigned a ridiculously difficult amount of homework, almost as if she was punishing us.
Merry Perry is the greatest professor I've ever taken. She makes us read one book, but it is so much fun. Each unit brings something different and she is hilarious. So chill and easy to talk to. I loved her so much im taking another class with her.
We need to protect Merry Perry at all cost!!! I would quite literally give this woman my kidney if she needed one. If I could rate her infinity/10 I would. If you have a chance to take her DO IT! Our required textbook for this class was Disney plus. Can not say enough good things about her and this class.
The best professor at WCU
Dr Perry is amazing. With everything being online with covid, it makes it difficult to have a personal relationship with professors. Dr perry always starts class asking how everyone is and genuinely cares abt her students. She makes class fun and enjoyable and Im taking a class with her next semester because I loved her so much. Pretty easy class.
TAKE HER!!!! Her class was for sure on the easier side but I still got a lot out of it. She likes a good laugh and definitely cares for her students a lot. She is very straight forward and organized. Tests are easy, but for online her class was Disney themed which made it a lot easier and much more fun. She was always asking how everyone is doing.
She is the best. So sweet and funny. Her LIT 100 course is all about Disney which is fun and a nice break from usual courses. All you need to do to pass is watch the movie and take the quiz once a week with occasional reading checks. Take her course!!!
Professor Perry is a real gem and I looked forward to taking her class. She was so caring and she makes the class enjoyable. The only textbook was a Disney+ subscription. This was the easiest class if you love Disney movies. I would take her again in a heartbeat!
This is the worst class I have ever taken. The entire class was just her recounting the plots. This is a Disney crazed woman who wanted to continue her Disney obsession into her job. It felt like a middle school level class. I love an easy class, but this was stupidly easy. She also doesn't grade until after the semester is over. DO NOT TAKE.
Ive had Professor Perry twice and enjoyed both times. Felt more open to talk and less pressure in class. As they were both LIT courses (100 and 165), due to the pandemic and all online, watching films and looking more in detail about certain things does open up when it comes to writing, whether for the class or looking back when writing freely.
Dr. Perry is the best! She gives great feedback, isn't a super harsh grader, and was very hilarious! You will have work, but it won't be super challenging and she respects and understands that people have different writing styles which makes the class 10x easier. I want her as my writing professor this semester!
Such a nice and kind professor. She allows you to apply corrections to your papers and is always available if you need to meet with her or help. She also makes her assignments fun.
This is a 100% online but theres mandatory zoom meetings where you HAVE to have your camera on. Modules arent open until Monday but assignments will be due Wednesday. Theres at least 4 due each week.
Dr. Perry is definitely a must-take professor. She makes it super easy to take notes, and sometimes even tells you exactly what to note down. You're probably not going to learn traditional job skills, but you will - as long as you think about what is being talked about - learn to think much more critically than before, especially about culture.
Perry is a really sweet professor. She loves Disney movies, so a lot of her major assignments/ projects revolve around that. The work is easy, it might be a little time-consuming, though. If you do the assigned work ahead of time, this course is a breeze.
Perry deserves a raise, she is the sweetest thing brought upon this planet and truly cares about her students. Her class is fun whilst bringing up dark topics such as racism and depression. There are weekly quizzes and short essays then 3 exams. If you have to take a lit or English gen ed take Dr.Perry!
She is so fun! If you like movies take this class. She doesnt give homework assignments you just take 4 exams and an optional final depending on if you are satisfied with your grade in the class. Each class you hand in a paper for participation points
Would definitely take this class again.
This is the best professor I have ever had at West Chester and I am going to look into more classes with her in the future.
Dr. Perry is a wonderful professor and so kind. I had to miss class for an extended period of time and she was extremely accommodating. Classes are chill/fun, but she a large portion of your grade is based on small in class activities. We do watch Disney movies so a subscription for Disney+ is the textbook.
Dr.Perry is hands down one of the greatest and most entertaining professors at West Chester. She is extremely flexible and kind to all of her students. This class is light and a great gen ed to have if you have some pretty difficult classes to take during your semester.
Very easy going teacher. If you need a LIT course for a gen ed take her pop culture class! It's an easy A and the tests are open note. For the second half of the semester we watched Disney movies and discussed them
I took her for WRT 200 in the summer 1 session. She was one of the best professors I had. She even lets us turn work in late. This class takes a lot of effort but it is totally doable in the summer. I think getting an A is totally possible but I got a B because I was also taking 2 other summer classes.
merry perry is an absolute g we watched music videos and the textbook was a disney+ subscription. still requires effort, if you don't show up you will fail. however such a pleasure to take love merry perry
Dr. Perry is such a great professor! Attendance is not mandatory, but you should go to class every time. The quizzes and tests are exactly what she talks about in class. She tells you exactly what you need to know - take notes on it!!! She is very fun and laid back. This course is easy and definitely a fun one. We watch Disney movies!
Only take this is you like Disney movies or it will be torture. All exams were open book so if you take notes in class you will get A on everything. Loved this professor she was funny and actually gets what's going on in the world.
best professor by far. so kind and cares about all of her students equally. she makes learning fun and so easy to take notes. the notes I took were the exact info on the test. only 4 exams and gives a few extra credit opportunities. would feel comfortable going to her office for anything.
One of my favorite professors so far. Assignments are easy and minimal. This is a very low-stress class and a very easy grade. If you are looking to fulfill a gen ed requirement I'd definitely recommend this class. I'd say that attendance is mandatory, because she does do easy in class assignments fairly frequently, but she will let you make it up.
literally the best gen ed i've ever taken. super easy and fun class, and we got to watch disney movies!! the tests are all online, open notes, and directly from the lectures. you can tell she genuinely loves literature. overall just a nice person.
if you show up to class and take notes, it's an easy A. sweet professor and funny. easiest gen ed youll take
Fun class. I really enjoyed watching music videos and Disney/Pixar movies.
Love her. The class is fun and interesting. She makes it fun for everyone. Attendance in mandatory but exams are not taken in class and are very easy. Def recommend.
If you can, take her. She is the sweetest woman and is so understanding. Attendance is based on an in-class assignment, but it isn't done every day. She is an easy grader and is hilarious. This was the only class I actually looked forward to. I will definitely take her again if I get the chance. Also, pink is her whole personality :)
Very easy going and will always give good feedback.
Her class was very easy but she shared her opinion on politics way too much. I also didn't learn anything but it's an easy A.
Easy A and good gen-ed class to take. All quizzes and tests are open note. Little to no homework, sometimes an article to read but she doesn't check to see if you did it. However, in class attendance/participation assignments are given regularly. A bit redundant/boring at times but worth it as she's really nice and helpful if you need it.
Best professor I've ever had and guaranteed will ever have at west chester. All her lessons are fun and relevant. She's hilarious and I've never missed a class because I look forward to it so much.
