Reviews of professor Aja Sherman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She is serious about due dates (you will get a zero if you are 1 minute late). She close all grades except the averages until the last month, and if asked at the end why I have zero her she says students shouldn't argue with that. Never give feedback or extra credit. I got a 0 in one of my assignments because she thought I copied the answer.

Lecture heavy (not surprising with bio) but dont expect to be able to take much notes, she goes through slides so fast its impossible to write anything down. She wont post lecture notes online and just say use the book. Dont be late to class or youll be called out. She is a nice professor though likes it keep her lectures animated.

Professor Sherman actually teaches you biology. Her lectures are packed with information, but if youre confused during class she takes the time to explain any questions you have. The only reason not to take her is if youre perpetually late. She does not like you being even a minute or two late and always calls you out for it.

I had her for BIO131, the class was online due to covid, she is not a good professor DO NOT TAKE HER. Her tests are easy but, she never responds to emails ( it takes her at least 4 weeks to respond to your question). The discussion boards don't even make sense, and she is tough on grading them. Some of the quizzes were hard.

You need to tell her if you don't understand something; she is willing to explain things one on one. I enjoyed taking her class, she is funny. If you don't do good on fill in the blank tests, this class is not for you, however, she does tell you 90% of the things that will be on there.

If you're wondering whether or not to take this teacher online during a pandemic, don't. She sucks at replying to emails and is kinda stingy with points. Her discussions boards aren't clear and she still takes off points. She isn't that bad especially since BIO 131 is on the easier side, but you can find a better teacher.

Long story short, I was dropped from the class and was given no heads up or no help after. I emailed her at least 6 times freaking out and she responded 2 days later saying if i read the syllabus id know not to be expecting a response right away. Barely talking about my issue. Shes petty, she responded literally 48 hours later and didnt help me.

I really enjoyed her class! She is one professor at HFCC that really takes attendance and participation serious. She is great at explaining the material and she is really into what she teaches. I learned a lot from her and hope to have more professors like her. She does speed through notes quickly but will always stop to explain whatever you need.
