Professor Nomelli is extremely thorough and tells her students exactly what they need to study for her tests/quizzes. She provides valuable outlines and shows informative documentaries to enhance what has been taught in class. As long as you do the work and come to class, you will have no trouble doing well.

Second time taking this professor! I find showing up to class every day helps with taking good notes for the exams bc you have to fill in the lecture outlines yourself. Four reading quizzes based on two books, final and midterm both have essay and multiple choice. A great lecturer and engaging; easy class if you just show up and pay attention!

Prof Nomelli's class can be a mixed bag - engaging lectures, but grading can be tough. Staying on top of the work and using study aids like unstuck study helped me stay afloat. Overall, it's a manageable class if you put in the effort.

Worst professor and honestly I have never experienced anything like her class. Every assignment I completed was given an extremely low score so no apparent reason. After giving me low scores all semester she decided that I was participating in academic dishonesty and reported more than half of the class for academic dishonesty.

Save your GPA. As a straight A student I was astonished when she reported me for academic dishonesty simply because I took 30 minutes on an exam and not the full time. Thankfully the dean was very chill and let me off with a warning. Just avoid her and save yourself from being in my position. On top of everything her class was super hard.

Super hard grader. I had straight A's until this class, she criticizes every little detail even though I followed the rubric to a T.

These bad reviews must be from people who vehemently cheated or did not understand the criteria. I took her for winter so it was much more fast-paced but I still got an A. There are tons of discussions based on a certain film, quizzes are from books, and tests are lecture-based. BTW she uses YuJa proctoring. Fairly easy and give in-depth feedback.

Honestly all I have to say about Sheryl Nomelli is that if you like and enjoy your life, do yourself a big favor & stay away from her. She is the only professor in Pierce College that i've seen be so absolutely out of touch with reality. Waste of time and money to take her class.

She is a tough grader and she also wants DETAILED answers for the discussions, if you miss a point, she'll give a 0!There are 3 textbooks to purchase!Each video lecture is more than an hour and you need to take so much notes for the exams and the discussions once she gave me a 0 and she said canvas shows that I didn't watch the video although I did

Straight A student, just completely accused of plagiarizing when taking a test. When I offered to show her my notes if she thought I was cheating she told me she didn't want to see it. She is super uncaring. Sheryl won't care about your grades, but you should.

Nomelli's class was interesting. She does require you to do the assignments but gives detailed instructions so you know exactly how to prepare and do well. She wants you to succeed in her class.

She does not teach. She uses the same outlines, questions, tests, and discussions from over 4 years ago. Even the grammar mistakes are still there. She uses something called YuJa and locks your whole computer. So, don't think you will be able to access your notes or readings. Im taking 5-unit classes and my professors don't even do this to us.

This professor provides minimal instruction and guidance. It's difficult to get help or clarification on assignments, and communication is often lacking. Students may feel lost if they run into technical issues or need extra support navigating the class.

This professor rarely responds to emails with helpful information and uses proctored exams that can significantly hurt your grade if you don't pass. The class is very strict, the lectures are boring, and the homework and teaching style could use improvement. Students should be prepared to navigate the course mostly on their own.
