Reviews of professor Melissa Yingst

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Amazing person. The class did not need to be 2+ hours. Made it feel like it was dragging on. A few translating assignments in class (watch short video and translate it, get together with group discuss) and 3 hw translation that vary in length as you go on (start with sentences , paragraphs, long paragraph) last assignment is a song/poem for fun .

If you want an easy class where you won't actually learn anything then this is the class for you. If you actually want to learn I wouldn't recommend her. The assignments are just thrown at you she doesn't stick to the syllabus, also the syllabus is old and isn't current. She takes forever to grade and isn't clear about the directions. Good luck

She is really funny and caring. This class is very easy. No tests or quizzes, just short canvas posts once a week, and a two-page paper about once a month.

Melissa was so fun and interesting! She said it was her first year teaching, but she's a natural! Class was always fun and interesting, she brought in a lot of guest speakers to come talk about their own experiences growing up Deaf. Weekly journals and readings, though the readings aren't difficult in any way. Group work in class, not at home.
