Reviews of professor Erica Sharar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
My learning experience with Professor Sharar was phenomenal. She is very knowledgeable and articulate, which made the lectures and labs valuable and worthwhile. Her competence as an educator and facilitator of a good learning environment was superb. I am thankful to have learned from Professor Sharar and I highly recommend her.

The class was good, my only complaint was that it was needlessly long. My work wanted me to come in more, and after attending lecture a couple times I realized it was very long, when it could have been condensed to be much shorter. This long lecture may have helped some students but for me it was unnecessary. My advice is to condense lecture.

One of my favorite professors that I've taken, she is very helpful and she generously gives the class a plethora of resources that most take for granted. Every exam has lots of extra credit and all of the exams are open note (during summer at least). I thought her lectures were interesting and helpful for the exams.

Makes anyone who asks a question feel incredibly stupid. Sure, there are stupid questions sometimes, but it was a terrible environment for a lab class. Yelled at students often, sometimes even during quizzes. Easy A, but it was absolutely miserable.

Hands down the worst professor I have ever had. She's an attachment to bio 101 and has gone out of her way multiple times to try and stop the other professor from helping students. She also seems to go out of her way to make students feel stupid. Her class is not even remotely hard though and if you show up and put in minimum effort you will pass.

you need to print the topics that you'll need to use before lab so you'd stay on track. she's very caring and random at times but not a hard professor at all. you can use your notes on the exam if you're not prepared, she sometimes expects a lot of group or partner work so everybody can be on the same page. she's a good professor overall

Lab exercises are given each week as meetings are set for once a week. Online classes were a waste of time as she spent 20 minutes to barely explain and put us into breakout rooms. Constantly bringing us in and out. Talks a lot about other things and will speed through topics. Will probably yell and be energetic. Teacher is okay and understanding.

I am not sure why this professor has such bad reviews, when in fact, she gave students several resources to be able to do well in her class ranging from the plethora of materials we could use in exams as well as the fact that she gave numerous attempts for us to attain extra credit in her class from discussion boards to written portions of exams.
