Reviews of professor Sharlie Eicker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Sharlie is easily one of the best profs I've ever had. She's kind, understanding, and is truly passionate about sociology. Her lectures are pre-recorded, with powerpoint slides. Would highly recommend any of her sociology courses! I took her intro course (SOCI 1121), environmental sociology (SOCI 1126), and urban sociology (2270) - all amazing!

I learned a lot about sociology and she is one of the friendliest and most relatable teachers I've ever had. Doesn't post slides in bright space so be sure to attend class or read the textbook. Multiple choice midterms with one big assignment and a few journals make this a pretty easy course overall.

Lectures are decent at best, often having very wordy slides which she reads off of and only briefly elaborates on. She is a very nice and caring person who will help you if you with any concerns you have. Be sure to participate in the discussion board and take note of the terms and definitions discussed in lectures and you should get an A.

Amazing subject, not the greatest instructor. Sharlie is very hands off and her love of multiple choice exams is off-putting because she makes them very difficult. She uses absolutely zero visual aids for her very long lectures. There were no live interactions/discussion in the class at all. I feel like she could do way better than what she did.

Sharlie really cares about their students and makes sure that every student is understanding course material and if you are new to sociology then you are going to learn alot of things if you do this course from her.

Very kind professor, has the best interest for her students. Is very open to the students opinions. I would love to take her again. Is one of my favourite profs at Langara.

Take her! Super kindhearted and really liked her lectures even though they it was mostly reading off the slides, the midterms were exactly like the slides so all I had to do was memorize the concepts and terms and was good. Would absolutely take her again.

I think this is an ok introductory course for sociology. Although, it had two textbooks (my recommendation is to check the reserve book section and/or scanning and printing the readings). Otherwise, the reading, attending class times, and watching the films were MANDATORY to getting a decent grade. A pretty hard marker...

Her lectures are very interesting; she shares a lot of her thoughts and examples in real life, helping you understand concepts. It is noticeable that she is very passionate in the field. 3 reflection journals, 3 midterms, and bonus points for discussions. Exams are based on lecture materials & textbook readings; fair, easy marker if you study well!

She is amazing! I have never had a teacher who cared so much for her students. She always takes time to explain things.
