Deborah Sheffield is one professor that I won’t
forget because of the role she played in helping me find my feet at William
Paterson.
I easily get nervous in a new environment due
to fear of the unknown, and when I newly joined WPU was no exception, learning
to deal with blackboard, how to write in APA and all other expectations that
comes with being a student was one big sweat breaker.
Of all the professors I had in my first semester,
she stood out and made me feel like I could do and achieve anything I wanted, she
was patient and made an effort to understand my point of view when I had
issues, her attention and empathy to my plights really encouraged me.
One of such was when we were asked to get
adobe spark for her Comm 1190 class (Communications Studies and Practice) which was a requirement in creating designs
and submitting weekly assignments, I had limitations and couldn’t get on the
application, I expressed my issues to her, and she went out of her way to get
me a link that enabled me access the app.
Asides from being my star professor, she is
kind, warm as a person, loves dogs and Disney characters a lot.
She is incredibly fun, beautiful in and out,
and knows how to teach because I learnt so much from her and my favorite topic
in her class was when she took emotional intelligence.
Though she was not my advisor, I remember thinking
she was my course advisor because of the way she responded to my degree requirement
questions or issues then.
Sheffield is one professor who does the most
effortlessly for her students and does not realize the impression or impact it
has on some of us.
So, when I say she made the most impression on
me last semester, I wasn’t trying to mince words, she did.
