when i took scharie's class she did not teach, she only read off her powerpoints and at 8 in the morning that's not enough to stay awake or even show up

This lady has some serious problems. She is so boring and forces you to answer questions in class. If you are not listening to her or if you're in your own world she will stare at you every 5 seconds. Her exams are so stupid, who cares about knowing statisitcs on the exams. It is a stupid intervention class not a stats class.

She uses the same examples every class. I think she thinks that we are stupid. The questions she asks other students are not something that we have to know. I did not pay to listen to my classmates talking about "once my friend was...." who cares, thats personal information that other students don't need to know about. She should put a stop to this

She gives about 40 pages worth of assignments of the semester, then made us do a presentation on the assignment and made it worth more than 3 of the papers combined, and then marked it ridiculously hard. I got 14 out of 50 bringing my grade from a 90 to a 60....Oh and this was right AFTER we did teacher evaluations. RUN RUN RUN

got an A in the class but worst teacher I ever had. talks down to students

Prof can be very rude to you. She is friendly one day and different the next. See seems to pick on you sometimes. I hope I don't have another class from her.

Dr. Tavcer's exams just come from the textbook. The written assignment was okay but her grading was really really picky.

30 page group paper. Last semester and last year she gave bonus assignments, but not this semester. Last year she let students redo their prep, not this semester. Not helpful. Expectations are not very clear. Not sure what we are supposed to learn. I heard great things about this class/ prof, but I was left disappointed.

Im not sure why Scharie makes learning so hard for so many students. I feel she wants to make a point that she is in charge and wants people to know it. There is no doubt that she plays favourites. It is a bit odd that she want to be Facebook friends with some students - I don't know any other prof at MRU that does this? Just a bit uncomfortable.

Compared to most of the other professors in the degree, Scharie isn't very good. I have taken several courses from her over the last couple of years and she she tends to teach the same stuff over and over. Her own lectures are dry and superficial so guest lecturers help. He approach to grading focuses alot on APA detail. Avoii if your can.

She does not like guys. She talks down to students forcing students to not contribute and to not show up. Skews stats to prove her point instead of teaching us the realities. Not a nice person and I do not recomend taking if you are a guy!

Most of the class had an A grade due to the given 20% for attendance. On the final assignment she marked predominantly on grammar & APA. Unrealistic & unclear expectation on a 12-20-page paper. It dropped each student down a letter grade. After, she deleted the assignment outline on Blackboard because it contradicted with her grading. RED FLAGS!

Wouldn't suggest taking if you are a guy. Told a student that they could not have an opinion on a subject as they do not know what it is like to be a visible minority or a woman.

I was told to not take her as I am a male but thought that seemed like a really weird way to choose a professor BUT I should have listened. I'm a feminist but this lady is something else... She literally told a student that he couldn't speak on an issue because he didn't understand because he wasn't a female. I guess sympathy doesn't exist.

Her and Anita Chiang did not make the test the same for everyone, meaning that everyone got graded extremely differently (some were given easy exam questions, while others got the difficult ones). Their way of testing students' knowledge is unfair and problematic for students, as some can get tested on easy topics, while others get the hard ones.

I don't recommend taking her classes unless your views align with hers. She seems to add her opinions instead of teaching relevant course material. The class overall was very easy and we didn't have an exam until the final. The final was BRUTAL she did not prepare us with lectures and the study guide didn't outline what was actually on the final.

Takes days to reply to emails. Her feedback (if any) doesn't make sense and her expectations are very vague. Whenever I asked about her feedback on my assignments, Scharie corrected my grades from B to A because her feedback did not correlate with what I wrote. No textbook so I had to teach myself. This class felt like a waste of my time and money.

Gives 0 feedback for assignments unless you make a meeting with her but is a tough grader, very rude and dismissive when asking for clarity. She brought in guest speakers who encouraged us to insert ourselves into dangerous situations (like hugging unhoused people in downtown) without considering the danger that can pose to untrained students.

The most inconsistent and harsh grader, with little relevant feedback. If you don't attend class, you are not going to pass. Lecture slides contain no information, informally requiring attendance. Uses guest speakers to fill in her lack of knowledge and pushes her ideologies rather than content. Does not respond timely and is just quite rude.

Scharie always in interrupted the guest speakers and would be rude to students during the guest leactures. At one point a guest leacturer had to reassure a student because Scharie didn't like what the student's perspective was. I swear she made our guest speakers uncomfortable and some probably won't be coming back.

Scharie is really sweet but isn't very caring. She is a very hard marker and does not give good feedback. Her final is worth 40% and is 200+ questions. She expects us to know a bunch of content that was never taught nor in the sides. But wait...a textbook you ask. NO BECUASE SHE DOES'T HAVE ONE. You are required to teach youself everything.

Her final is out of 256. In the past, she has had the final online or open book, so why not this time? A textbook would have helped so much in this class. She puts one word on each slide so people come to class, but how fast can I type during her lecture? And it is impossible to remember every piece of info in a 3-hour lecture without taking notes.

I am seriously so frustrated and its not just me, its a collective opinion from most people in this course. She marks okay - but little to no feedback. She'll put a line through half the sentence when shes grading, and leave no comment, which does not help with fixing that mistake for next time.

She is unclear in marking and gives no feedback. Dont even get me started on how the guest speaker was telling us to approach homeless people... Also, dont know if anyone had her for any other class but, just so you know, she's never brought in a POC guest speaker. Speaks for itself. I'd rather take quant again than another class with her.

She is rude and unapproachable. She talks about the guy that liked her in corrections soooo much. I have never met a CRJS prof like her. May this kind of teaching/grading never find me again.

A lot of inconsistencies. Ie) Cancelled the first class, graded the first assignment with feedback “refer to first lecture” (lecture has 1 word, and no content to pull for the assignment). She seemed annoyed when asking for feedback on assignments, and only lined out sections of assignments with no comments. No textbook, and poorly structured class

I can confidently say all those bad reviews are true. Scharie had a million of assignments worth of 3-5% and a final of 256 points. Good luck studying because there's no textbook. Don't try to email her, she takes DAYS to reply. Also gets mad if you ask for ACTUAL feedback. She is rude and unprofessional and will be your worst mistake EVER trust me

Scharie emphasizes the importance of mental health and inclusion, but shows a lack of respect for students. Second class I've taken with her - despite learning what her standards are like, she marks inconsistently even when instructions are followed. Has a dismissive attitude when students seek clarification or assistance.

She is the most inconsistent marker and gives maybe two sentences of feedback if you're lucky, instead just crosses out entire paragraphs and leaves you guessing. 9 "tiny" assignments to leave you with a whopping final. THAT SHE WAS NOT PREPARED FOR. If your final is going to be 256 points, have enough booklets for everyone. Prepare to be dummied!

She is by far the worse professor here at MRU. Don't bother taking anything with her unless you want to have no future. So inconsistent, never prepared and continues to put you down. Be prepared to fail the final of 256 questions with no textbook or her lack of professionalism. I hope the school reevaluates her. Shame on MRU

Scharie didn't like me because I always asked for more elaborative feedback, sent her emails about her assignments, called her out when she made mistakes while grading. I had an A going into the final and after she graded my exam and I ended up with an A- she went back and regraded because she found one more error and I ended up with a B+. 79.4%

Unclear grading and often makes mistakes. Also unapproachable and unorganized.

All these negative reviews are accurate. This professor is more focused on pushing their personal, very woke ideologies than actually teaching the course material. Disorganized (for example, did not print enough exam booklets for the final, only realizing last minute). Unhelpful (assignment feedback is minimal). Uninterested in student success.

"I understand how stressful final exams are, and not having enough booklets certainly didn't help!" These were her own words, yet she made the final worth 40% of our grade, totaling 256 points, with 19 short-answer questions worth 100 marks. Excessive and poorly planned.

Instructed us to focus on memorizing definitions as if they would appear on the written part of the exam, which ended up being entirely scenario-based. To make matters worse, only a few of these concepts even showed up in the MC section. Misalignment between her guidance and the actual exam format was both misleading and unfair as many would agree.

Future students, take these reviews as a serious warning!!!

If she doesn't like you, you will know through her pettiness in her marking on assignments that are worth only 10% of our grade. I despise the way that she formats her final. There are no tests throughout the semester, but then her final is cumulative, 25 written responses (127 points) and 110 multiple choice, and she refuses to provide a guideline
