Reviews of professor Melanie Bowman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not an easy class. Lots of students grousing but I went to talk to Dr. Bowman and she really helped me and followed up. She really made my time at Longwood better last semester. The book is too expensive.

I took Bowman my freshman year for French. She was fine then and the class wasn't exceedingly difficult. Now, taking MLAN 360, she gives so much homework and the grading scale is a mess. If you miss one assignment your grade is in jeopardy. Fun to talk to and get to know as a person, not good as a professor. Nutty High expectations Reading heavy

If you could avoid taking this class, I suggest doing so. The amount of HW is ridiculous. Tests are all impossible essays. No notes. She doesn't like to talk much about what is coming up. She cuts you off when talking. Blames on you when the bookstore hasn't given you the books. Unrealistic expectations. Doesn't really care about students.

This class is so incredibly difficult and includes a ton of unnecessary work. You HAVE to work hard and keep up with your work or you will fail. Nice woman but unrealistic expectations. I have never once thought to give a class a bad review but I would write this 100 times over. Please do not take. Don't make my mistake.
