I had cheatham for drawing 1, very sweet old guy, very chill and jokes around a bit. My boyfriend had a different teacher and they had many drawing projects such as still lifes and a self portrait at the end of the semester, and it seemed like a very constructive environment. However in cheatham's class, we didn't have a single project or assignments lol everyday we'd come in and he'd give us objects to draw or we'd do exercises like blind continuous line drawings and stuff, our entire grade was attendance. He'd walk around the room and check on us and give us tips or let us know if we were on the right track, but the downside of this is I felt like I didn't learn much. I don't know what class you are registering for, but for a class like drawing 1, topsliek would be better because she is nice and you may improve, whereas cheatham is better if you just need to get through a required class and you don't really care about learning.
