Reviews of professor Cherita Harrell

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of the best writing professors ever. She will challenge you to think outside of the box and really knows how to have an engaging class discussion. I also love that she is very understanding. I'm learning to improve as a writing in her creative writing course and am very glad I took the class with her!

This is my second class with Professor Harrell. She's a great teacher. Kind and understanding. Take her if you can.

You have to do the work, but she will work with you on deadlines and let you turn in work late. She gave optional assignments every couple weeks to help us take a break during the semester. She sent weekly updates about readings and assignments. I wish more were as thoughtful as her.

She is probably one of the best professors in the Lit department. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and fair. She introduces a lot of information, but it all makes sense for the assignments. The work is manageable, and the readings were really interesting. I actually looked forward to attending her class each week. Participate and you're good.

Cherita is one of the best professors in the LITT department. She actually cares about her students and their wellbeing, and makes sure to prioritize mental health. The content can be a little overwhelming at times, but she does a great job going over the materials and setting aside time to work with us one-on-one. She's worth taking.

Cares about her students. Checks in on mental health. Provides breaks and individual conferences to make sure we are on track. She is literally the best.

Professor Harrell was super chill and made the class enjoyable. Her spoken word class is so interesting, especially the poems that we discussed and analyzed. She really prioritizes mental health and I appreciate her for that. Hope to take another class with her before I graduate!

She's a nice person, but TERRIBLE professor. She never gives clear instructions for assignments, especially her final. As a literature student, we should not have to build a website. We have no idea what to even do because her instructions and grading criteria are so vague with no direction Will probs fail the final because she was no help at all.

Spoken word was a pretty cool class. You have a few poems you record and perform, and 1 group poem to perform. You make a website as the final project with all your recordings and discussion posts from the semester. She does a lot of mental health talks throughout the semester and also throws humor and sarcasm in.

Prof Harrell is a great teacher. She gives extra credit and mental health breaks, and really checks in with students to see how they're doing. Even during the mental health breaks, she was always available for us to meet with her and talk about upcoming assignments. She's one of the best in the LITT department.
