Pretty decent course. Not too difficult so I recommend to take during a harder semester to lighten the load. A few group projects and homework from lab but they do not take much time at all!

Comment:

She genuinely seems like a caring person, and is definitely explicitly concerned about her students. She's also a terrible teacher. Example: She expects everyone attend her ridiculous labs (that require you to sign up for third party software/services you may not want to sign up for), but she also lets people leave after 10 minutes.

Great class! You can tell she really put a lot effort into this class to make it meaningful.

Comment:

I completely regret taking her class, she isn't clear in any of her assignments and changed the course outline 2 weeks before the final. She is very condescending if you ask her a question and made a couple of racist comments. The class itself is super easy but if you want 10% worth of class participation(which was originally 4), you'll love her!

Sharon was not clear about anything. Grading criteria was changed last minute to punish those who did not attended class. Assignment are ambiguous and complicated and require you to participate in schools on your own terms. Would not recommend.

My educ class was my only class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. After going to class for 2 weeks I stopped. Reason being- Sharon went over her BB notes point for point in her lectures and that is all, something I could do at home w/out having an 80min commute. Read the textbook and her notes and you will pass with flying colors. VERY easy lab as well.

SO SO SO SO SO Awful. Never would I wish this unethical prof on anyone. Didn't learn anything except not to trust her. she changed the syllabus two weeks before exams because she made up a bunch of assignments for in class when people didn't show up. such a waste of time and money.

Sharon is a very nice, easy going prof. Although she could be more clear on what she expects from you, as she changed the course outline two weeks before the end of classes. This class is a GPA booster, recommend to take.

Comment:

I liked Sharon, in a way she almost expects you to kind of already understand some of the content which isn't difficult at all and since technology is changing all the time and being apart of a generation that was pretty much born with computers in our hands I didn't find this coarse hard at all and I did find Sharon very helpful and approachable.

Comment:

This class was pointless. I could have not gone and gotten the exact same mark. Assignments for participation she puts online, textbook is basically pointless. This class although required was a complete waste of time to show up. She often talks to us as though we are in elementary school, not adults. Easy, no need to show up. Hated this class.

Comment:

The group project is terrible and beware of her ambiguous direction for the assignments as well as the horrifying grammatical and spelling errors. The final exam was the most thing ridiculous thing that I have ever taken, and I could not take it seriously. The vast majority of the time in class I felt like I was the adult and she was a child.

Very kind and funny prof. A bit unorganized and LOTS of assignments. They're easy but still take long. Easy mark if you don't mind doing a bit of work.

Comment:

Awful... She's exceedingly rude, takes things personally, is very disorganized, and the worst part is she can't write. Good luck trying to figure out what she's asking for on assignments/labs/exams (you must ask her to explain in person) and then she didn't even show up to our final, had someone else administer it... Also WAY TOO MANY ASSIGNMENTS

Comment:

Sharon is very ambiguous and extremely unorganized. Far too much work for the simple concepts that she covers in this class, and all the labs are so pointless, yet take insane amounts of time. Take it as a GPA booster, but expect to do a lot of work even though it is easy.

Comment:

This class was a joke, I probably could've shown up twice and gotten the same mark. Tons of group projects worth basically nothing. The main project is an easy A if you put effort into it and follow criteria. She's unclear on a lot of things though. Online quizzes are very easy.

Comment:

Sharon is a very unreliable prof. The group assignment was so confusing. She would not clarify when emailed questions on how to complete the project. A response to my group from her via email was, "have you tried googling it?" Her lectures are pointless to go to and she had a habit of cancelling class 30 minutes prior to class starting.

Comment:

Honestly more than anything I was deeply disappointed by Sharon as a professor. I was looking forward to learning about using technology to benefit my students, but all I got was poor lecturing & boring slideshows with redundant questions. The groupindividual project is a complete gong show- WOULD NEVER have a class with her again.

Comment:

Very disorganized, unclear, and scattered. She often confuses students with misguided directions and lacks specific instructions. Her examples of "what-not-to-do" and what is correct lack clarity. She is nice and will help you if needed, however the lectures and organization of class activities and projects lack insight and direction.

Comment:

Assignments were ambiguous, course is not applicable to computer science, more about psychology. Class had too many assignments, and some appeared to be made up the day before. Weighting of each component was never divulged to the students, leaving us to go into the final exam with no idea what our grades were, or how they would be calculated.

Comment:

She's an easy marker. But after she explains the content of the lab, she disappears. She does't know a lot about what she's teaching, and seems very disinterested. Has tantrums in class. Very slow at getting grades back, and gets VERY defensive when asked about them. I was not happy with her at all.
