Reviews of professor Melanie Masud

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you have a good memory this is the class for you! She gives you a book, gives u questions, then an exam. There is no lecture whatsoever, the exam is closed book and remotely proctored. She is kind and provides help. But the exam is closed book and the notes is 20 pages long, so it's ggwp if ur forgetful. (Online Class Btw)

She's a very kind teacher, I made a mistake and forgot to do one of her online quizzes, but I was a good student the rest of the semester and she allowed me to retake it : ) Show up to class and study the notes; if you get a poor grade you have no one but yourself to blame.

If you don't have the greatest memory or best understanding of American government, it can be really challenging. Every week, after we do our reading, we are to answer 1 reading question(usually about 14 to choose from) you will do this with your group. 3 Exams4 chapters at a time,10-15 qns in each. Questions are all found in reading questions.

Taken Online Spring 2021, she grades her students unrealistically. Her rubrics do not accurately reflect her personal grading methods. She expects a lot out of a GE class. Her busy work is easy enough, but her proctored exams are tough and confusing. She would probably be better for in-person class.

Basically no homework for the online situation, which is great for flexiblity! Gives all the questions to the exams beforehand they cover the basic themes of each chapter. Not understanding the other people's problems with the formatting, but I guess we all learn differently. Not too hard if you study a little bit and just understand the basics.

No lectures you basically have to teach yourself. Tests are somewhat difficult because she expects you to memorize like 60 discussion questions and only 10 are going to be on the test. Avoid her at all cause
