Comment:
She challenged me, made me think, and made me take my studies more seriously than I ever had before. She is amazing. If you want to learn and you have the chance, TAKE her class. If you want to put in the effort, don't. She won't be kind.

Comment:
I did a Special Topics class with her 2 or so years ago. As others have mentioned she was hard to get along with and very rude in public. She WILL pick on you. She is well-versed in what she specializes in and is actually a very warm-hearted person if you go to see her about your concerns in her office. Make an effort, but be warned of the above.

Comment:
Knowledgable prof with strong opinions, try to express a different one and anticipate to be cut off. Pay attention and write down what she has to say b/c what you think, DOESN'T MATTER, regurgitate hers and do well. She'll turn off overhead of notes right after she's written them so don't blink.

Hard marker. Will pick on you. Don't take this class unless you're willing to really work for it.

Comment:
"Learning about Chaucer from Sheila is the equivalent of having Jesus teach you the New Testament" (see previous comment) -- who writes this stuff?!? Sheila may be an accomplished scholar, but she's not a great professor. Avoid her class if possible.

Comment:
Sheila is very intelligent and anyone taking a class with her should be thankful. Learning about Chaucer from Sheila is the equivalent of having Jesus teach you the New Testament. People are bitter because they do not read, or cannot handle the heat of the intellectual content of the course. Don't take this course if you aren't willing to work.

Comment:
Obviously those who wrote horrible comments about Sheila are slackers and deserve to feel bad. She's a wonderful prof. I was afraid of taking Chaucer because I'm not a middle-english fan but it's my best class and I'm considering doing an honours paper in that area because of her--she's great so suck it up--perhaps it's you and not her!!

A very rude professor. She picks on students and tries to make them feel small. The worst professor I have ever had at SFU. I do not recommend her at all.

Comment:
Amazing prof. Knows her stuff.Doesn't waste your time and has little patience for those who waste hers. Extremely intolerant of the unprepared so don't take this course if you're hoping to sleep through it. If you're willing to put in the effort, though, she is one of the best profs in the university.

The worst prof I've ever had (and I've had A LOT of profs!)...she made a girl cry during a presentation! She is obviously very bitter and talks down to everyone. You try your hardest to please her, but get walked all over anyway.

Do not take a class with this prof unless you are prepared for humiliation. She makes her students feel uncomfortable and forces them to speak out in class. She will put you on the spot.

Comment:
Serioulsy, LEAVE YOUR OVERHEAD ON! Delany would write something on the overhead and as soon as she finishes writing, she would turn it off. Be prepared to take a lot of notes on your own base on her scattered lectures. And don't ask questions once and for all to avoid humiliation.

Comment:
Sheila is ****, classist and elitist. You would think this would make her very arrogant as well, but I believe that she hates herself just as much as everyone else does.

Comment:
A twisted bitter old broken down woman who is more an emotional swamp than a real human being. You might think I got a bad mark from her, but I didn't; I got a good mark, though having to endure her insults and put-downs regularly.

Comment:
Don't take this course unless you plan on failing because very few people do well in her class. Even if you participate often, she tells you that you did not participate enough and as a result, marks you down 2 letter grades. Sour and bitter about divorce

Excellent prof! Didn't waste my time, which I appreciate. Organized, rapid delivery of lecture. Has no patience for high school questions; why should she? this isn't high school.
