Reviews of professor Ellen Sheridan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
An excellent professor. She sets high expectations but only because she really wants you to learn and be passionate. She creates an online environment based on mutual respect and strives to form positive relationships with her students. Definitely goes the extra mile.

She's one of the best professors I have dealt with. She is clear and concise and willing to help if needed. Responds quickly and focuses on your APA formatting for assignments. If you do the work and actually care about the course, you'll get a good grade.

I haven't had a bad professor at UMGC yet so to say Professor Sheridan is my favorite is a big deal. Always available, always interactive and has a passion for subject matter and wants to share her passion. Workload reasonable, fair amount of reading but quick and easy. Highly recommend.

Professor Sheridan is VERY responsive. I earned a B because I stupidly took 3 classes and was always late submitting.I wasn't looking forward to EBP but ended up liking the class. Good feedback on my papers - helped me get better grades on subsequent papers. I recommend Professor Sheridan so much she's now my professor for Leadership.

8 week online class, 4 papers, only 1 big one though, the rest can be done in an hour or 2 if you're a good student. Takes a while to warm up to this professor but once you "get it" you know she's in it to teach you EBP and reel you in. Her presence is amazing, and she role model's what she preaches - research, EBP and APA. I have learned so much!

Honestly the most attentive professor I have ever had. Smart and on her game. Instant responses and loves to teach. Agree, know your APA but if we want to go further with our education, we will be ahead of the game. Fair and good feedback. The class was demanding but that isn't her fault.

Professor Sheridan is great. I have much respect for her! She is understanding and gives good feedback. She gets that you have a life - work and family but just keep her in the loop. There's paper every other week only one takes a lot of time. She keeps discussions interesting by always responding. By far one of my favorite professors!

Dr. Sheridan has been my favorite professor at UMGC. Wow - she really ants her students to learn. Had a high A going into last week of semester and just hit a WALL. She was so understanding. I learned a Lot! Wish she taught other classes in the program.

Prof Sheridan is very particular about APA format, takes a whole bunch of points off if not following it exactly as in guidelines. This course (NUR 410) is very time-consuming but you will learn a lot. I would definitely choose another course with this instructor.
