Testimonials by Former Students
"I find Annette to be a very intelligent and motivated individual. She's more than capable of managing large group of individuals as I’ve seen it personally being in her classes. She, was and continues to be, innovative and creative to find different methods on overcoming issues and really connecting with the audience that she's presenting to."
"Annette Pepenella wasn’t just my professor but also my mentor and a guru. She carried herself with such high class that anyone and everyone can always learn something from her and that was the best part I enjoyed about her lectures. She is a great person to look up to for advice or for feedback for improvement, no matter what it was for."
"Annette is the most inspiring and encouraging professor/person I have ever encountered at my college. When I first started my Human Resources education, I was not sure if it was the right path for me but somehow that all changed when I enrolled in one of her classes. She genuinely cares about her students and the content she teaches, and she sees potential in her students before we even saw it in ourselves. Everyone that is close to me witnessed and knows how much I grew, gained confidence, and changed just by Annette being my mentor, advising me about my career and education path, and constantly sharing golden nuggets with me and other students even outside of class. She is the type of professor that students went out of their way to enroll in her class, even if it was not convenient for them at all.”
"I appreciate the way you teach us and the patience and interest you show in your student as well as the learning style you incorporate because it really does make a difference. A lot of teachers just give their students a hard time to be honest and it's hard to care or feel comfortable when the teacher doesn't provide a good learning atmosphere."
"Professors like you are truly appreciated and valued, and I know it seems like such a little thing but it made a big difference to me as well as I'm sure it does to other students. Small things like that throughout our schooling years help build our character for the real world, help us be comfortable with who we are and bring out the best in us, so I think it's really great that you treat your students and teach the way you do."
“Having the pleasure of being Annette’s student was one of the highlights during my experience at Sheridan. Annette was a fantastic professor, she was fun, caring, admirable and always willing to go the extra mile to be supportive. Annette’s teaching was invaluable to my growth both in and out of the classroom. She is a very diligent, disciplined and kind professor who puts her students' success first.”

Thank you for the opportunity to overcome all my obstacles and to complete my assignments. You and your course gave me valuable experience and helped my personal growth.”
“As the semester comes to an end, so does my journey at Sheridan (as you know) but just before it's over, I wanted to tell you how much I've appreciated you as my professor and how much I've enjoyed all of our classes together. You've made significant contributions not just to my success as a student but also to my growth as an individual, your teachings and guidance have always helped to push me forward in the best ways possible and without them, I wouldn't be who or where I am today. Having you as my professor has greatly enhanced my experience at Sheridan and has been a valuable influence to my professional career. Moving on from this chapter, I carry all your lessons and words of wisdom as I navigate what's to come next. Thank you for all your support throughout my development, it's been a pleasure being one of your students.”
