Reviews of professor Melissa McLean

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Course material taught does not match the quizzes or tests, and leaves students with more questions than answers. Tough grader? Who knows, didn't receive half our assignments back and had to wait 3 weeks for our final exam results.

She's genuinely a nice person, and if you want to enter your final exam with 1/4 assignments marked, 2/4 portions of your group project, and lectures that have no relevance to the final; it's perfect for you. 3+ weeks after the final and still didn't have even half my marks back and no final exam or final grade posted.

her classes are boring and she takes long time to mark the assignments.

Lecture are long and often drawn out. However Melissa does an amazing job at relating concepts to real world example unlike most teachers at Camosun. She genuinely wants students to learn and have a discussion within the class in order to promote learning. Sadly her assignments are convoluted and often longer than they should be.

Melissa is quirky and caring. Yes, she's been a slower grade than most, but she's aware of it and trying to improve.

Melissa's fault is that she takes weeks/months to grade. It was December and I had 15% in the class because she had not graded both midterms yet. Not a good way to go into final exams or group projects. The class is heavily weighted by the group project and I found the class very involved. Lectures are just her playing Dragon's Den clips.

Very understanding and caring. Concept based quizzes. A bit slow grader but very helpful. Accessible outside class just mail her and get an appointment. Online video lectures and PPt's. Quite a lot easy activities.

She starts off as a very nice professor. However, she is an extremely slow grader and messes up often but blames you instead. Lectures are a waste of time as she only spends it going off on random not related about her life or forcing every single conversation into a debate in the class. Lots of required heavy readings for homework.

Ive had Melissa as my prof in countless classes now, and I just love her teaching style! Her lectures are insightful and she gives really great advice on how to behave as a professional in the field. I would definitely take classes with her again and again, but I recommend participating as you will get the most out of her classes :)

Melissa obviously has a depth of knowledge in the service industry and is able to provide a lot of personal insight into the course material; however, she tends to be very content focused and did not establish much of a relationship with her students. Class discussion time is pretty quiet because everyone checks out immediately. Very Slow Marker
