Reviews of professor Melissa Pespeni

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Shes one of the worst professors I have had at uvm! The amount of work I did for this class is crazy and she still gave me a bad grade! She would fail a student without thought! She doesnt collaborate with students! A lot of tests! A quiz, few homeworks, and online participation every week! She doesnt understand that we have other classes too!

I love Pespeni! She is so smart and inspirational as a woman in STEM. She really cares about improving as a teacher and takes constructive criticism really well, so if you have a problem just let her know!! Exams are pretty standard and no surprises. She is honestly just so cool and badass.

Overall she is a good professor, however, if you don't do well on the exams you're in trouble. The exams are nothing like the hw or practice problems either so good luck. A lot of self-study is needed for her class.

I was apprehensive at first because Pespeni started by going through lectures at breakneck speed, but she settled into a better pace and her clicker questions were extremely helpful with understanding material and typically showed me what I needed to review. Know the slides inside out, practice Qs, & diagrams and you will do just fine

She never explain anything clearly, she is just reading the slides, she's just smart but not a good teacher

Pespeni is very intelligent, but too smart to be a professor. You need to do a lot of learning outside of class because her slides are very confused or not explained well.
