Wouldn't take again

I took this class online I also happen to take the fast paced version which was extremely hard. There was twice as much work per week we were writing essays almost every 10 school days. There were a few miscommunications because her instructions weren't clear but through emails it was solved. She may seem mean but she's really nice and caring.

Sherard posts loads of homework inconsistently. All of my other teachers post homework on Mondays so that we can pace ourselves throughout the week. She posts assignments mid week and then claims she does this "because it's an online class." Like aren't all of our classes online?? She's not consistent and gives unclear directions. Don't recommend.

Lots of assignments and not enough time to do them. She posts assignments inconsistently and late throughout the week. As someone who works, this is very inconvenient. I politely reached out to her and asked to post earlier in the week and she said this was “front-loading.” Huh? Save yourselves and your schedules; don’t take her. Got you guys

If you take this class I can guarantee you'll hate everything about writing after. She is one of the most unreasonable graders. Her feedback on essays is extremely vague, assignments are posted the day before they're due, and everything you write about will be based on her own opinions. Don't take this class or any of her classes you'll regret it.

She's a professor who cares about her students and gives them the opportunity to succeed in this course. Don't be lazy or procrastinate because there is a decent amount of work but doable! She also offered quite a bit of extra credit which helped me reach an A!

She publicly shamed me in class for always being late to class because I was taking the bus to get to classes at the time. I tried to speak with her regarding extensions for my AAP accommodations, but she was condescending and inconsiderate of me. Her course load was hefty and overwhelming, so I dropped out in the first few weeks.

I have mixed feelings about this teacher. She wasn't bad, but I wouldn't want to retake her class. She isn't that good with feedback and is very vague when she gives it to you. Expect to write a lot of essays and do many assignments every week. The essay topics were a bit confusing, and you didn't get a lot of time to write them.

READ THE SYLLAYBUS! Whatever you do in her class, read the syllabus because once that's over, she expects you to know everything. If she posts an assignment the day it is due, it's because it was in the syllabus and you should've known. Still, I would like to see it as a heads-up. That didn't happen and my writing went downhill because of it.

Dr. Sherard is genuinely caring and wants her students to succeed, but I would not recommend taking her online course. The workload is quite heavy, the assignment directions are unclear and confusing. Lastly, it can feel invasive how frequently she checks if students log into Canvas. Overall, taking her online course was a challenging experience.

She gave me mixed feelings. She sucks at giving feedback, and when she gives it to you, it is very vague. She would tell you your conclusion is good on the draft, but on the final, she tells you it's bad. Communicating with her is not that good, her office hours are short, and it is hard when I have a question but I can't ask until the next day.

She's really an acquired taste. I passed with an A because I know English. Not because she taught me anything. Her feedback is extremely vague and so is her directions for assignments. I went to TLC for clarity and her feedback confused almost all of the tutors there. Again, I got an A because I know English, not because I learned anything.
