What Students Say

She was really nice, but her exams are really hard

WOMS202 - 2.0 rating

Although very sweet, Professor Cherrin has been one of the the worst professors I've had in terms of being able to productively hold a lecture

Very nice woman, NOT a man-hater or a femi-nazi. Clearly has very strong opinions (what do you expect in this type of class).

Very nice woman who is very passionate about what she teaches. Very entertaining, and a little bizzarre. Not open at all to opinions that conflict with her own - just keep that in mind. Lectures are extremely unorganized and impossible to take valid notes from. You should go to class but it won't hurt to miss a few.

Cherrin's a bit nutty, but very entertaining nonetheless. Class was very disorganized, but you end up learning a few useful bits of knowledge here and there.

This women is crazy. Her lectures are all over the place and it's practically impossible to take any notes. You watch lots of movies and then for the tests she asks you to recall them by name. You would think this class would be easy and you would be wrong. Tests are terrible and are nothing like lectures.

I loved this class. It was not mandatory to go to, the tests were straight from the study guide/readings assigned, and she always welcomed people to "play devils advocate" and disagree with her. It is an easy class as long as you do the readings.

I love Cherrin!! She's such a sweetheart and really wants you to do well. As long as you come to class and participate, she will do everything to help you. She doesn't demand much from her class so if you study a little bit, you'll get an A. Plus, she's really interested in the subjects she teaches.

Do not take this class unless you have tooo!!! I read everyones comments on here and thought it might be a decent class its VERY time consuming. She assigs hundreds of pages of reading for the test. Sure, if you read all those pages youll do well but its gonna end up being the class you spend the most time on and WOMS 201 should not be that importa

The class was an easy A if you go to class and read the book. Half the questions on the exam are from class and half are from the book which is a collection of interesting stories. This class was really not that time consuming; I studied for the exams the night before and got As on them all.

this is a great class, and she is a wonderful professor. i read maybe a quarter of what i was suppose to read and did fine. She goes over what readings will be on the tests and what key aspects are. just show up to class, because a good hunk of material from class will be on the tests (and she gives extra credit for showing up at times)

She's somewhat ditsy and gets confused pretty easily, then she just laughs it off. If you do the reading from the book and fill out the study guides NOT the day before the test it will make a big difference. The readings aren't boring compared to what you have to read in other classes. And you watch a lot of movies.

She's really nice and very helpful. She doesn't require attendance, but the classes are helpful. She isn't a radical feminist, so she's very down to earth, and she has a lot of experience in other areas that give you a well rounded view of the topic. I look forward to having her as a teacher again. Definitely take her class!

Professor Cherrin was the best! Class was actually fairly interesting and the books we have to read were short and easy to read. Quizzes and tests were not difficult at all and she gives you study guides before, which cover ALL the material from the text book so you dont even have to read it if you do the study guide. definitely take her!!!

Honestly, she can seem a little loopy, but give her a chance to get to know you. There are three exams and a paper, and her exams are very detail-oriented, but she provides lengthy study guides for the exams. Sometimes class is vital, other times useless, but go and bring your laptop, so you can watch the movies. Cherrin cares about her students.

Literally the worst professor I've ever experienced and the worst class ever taken. Thought it would be an easy group A but not easy at all. 3 exams, each one with information from over 15 (lengthy) articles on Sakai. The study guide is all from text book and none of it is on exams. Annoying essay on a book. Don't take it if you're not interested.

Took this as an easy breadth, and it kind of is. Do the study guides and read ALL sakai articles and take notes and you will pass. Her lectures are totally all over the place and it's a hit or miss whether the class is worthwhile or not. A lot of movies which is nice. Extra credit paper to do if you need it. One paper.

Pretty easy class. 3 exams and 1 quiz. she gives extra credit. Doesn't take attendance but if it's a movie day you should go because she puts questions on the exam and otherwise you have to watch the movie on your own time. She's very sweet and helpful but can sometimes seem a bit loopy. She's very smart but isn't the best at articulating that.

I thought this was going to be an easy breadth req but I was wrong. She's one of those teachers that make you read out of the textbook and the chapters are 40 pages long with small print. Every point on the exams=1% point on final grade.She does give 1-2 extra credit assignments but its only to raise your % of final grade by 1%.Take another group C

This has been my easiest class in college so far. We had 3 tests, a paper and a final that was either in class or take home. The tests are a mixture of multiple choice, T/F, and short answer. As long as you go to class everyday and fill out your study guide you should be fine. We watch a lot of videos in class so, don't miss the movie days!

dr. cherrin is nice and passionate about the subject, but don't take this class with her. there was SO much material to read/watch on Sakai that was not discussed in class, and there would be maybe 1 or 2 questions per each 6 page article on the test. boring lecture & an occasional video/movie every class. interesting subject, not the best prof.
