Reviews of professor Melissa Goodman-Elgar

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Melissa is nice enough but the entire course is reading - reading lectures, reading articles she posts, reading the textbook. It gets pretty boring and it's hard to stay motivated. There is a weekly discussion, a few projects/papers, five quizzes, and a midterm and final. All together not that difficult, just very time consuming.

I really enjoyed this class. It wasn't overly difficult. But it was not easy either. I feel like she was a good instructor and pretty organized. I got a lot out of the material and her feedback. I look forward to taking another class from her!

Quite textbook and material heavy, and a tough grader. But a very informative class nonetheless.

I expected an easy A, and I was right about it until about the last half of the class. Right around the midpoint of the term the difficulty of the work seemed to increase out of nowhere. If she hadn't given us a week off to catch up and work ahead a bit I'm not sure how the class would have done. I did learn a lot though and enjoyed the content.

Not a huge fan of this instructor. The lessons and assignments were interesting. But the teacher was extremely slow to grade assignments. Can't learn from previous mistakes if you are told too late for the next assignment. Quizzes and tests were worded poorly with a lot of ambiguity. Teacher not great at communicating in a timely fashion.

This has been the WORST CLASS I have EVER taken!  I have been to 3 different colleges and took this course as I needed one final class for my Bachelor's of Science. She teaches the course like a 400 level class. I have taken a 300 level anthropology and did not have as much advanced work as  this course.  IT'S a 100 level class  for goodness grace!
