Reviews of professor Melissa Pope

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Pope was the most difficult professor I've had so far at UMass Lowell. Her lectures were unorganized and boring, there were no study guides or review for exams and tests were quite difficult. If you are going to take Psych 101, I wouldn't recommend taking it with her. This class did not make me interested in Psychology.

I really enjoyed this course. I actually wasnt sure whether I wanted to minor in Psychology or not, and Professor Popes intro class was one of the main reasons I decided to. There was plenty of work but I enjoyed it.

Pope clearly did not know what she was doing! Syllabus was very clear but she was very difficult to work with and made up stuff as the class progressed. She never responds to emails and truly does not care about anyone but herself. This was the most stressful class I took over the semester when this class should have been the easiest. DONT TAKE

I wish I had known about rate my professor when I first began the semester because I would have switches out in an instant. Prof. Pope seems to be very inexperienced and it shows during her lectures when she frequently responds with "I'm not sure" to student questions. She is a very hard grader and the questions on her exams are very misleading.
