Reviews of professor Melanie Parker Dameron

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The final for this class was absolutely insane. We had to build a 1:1 scale wood light frame house. This consumed as much or more time than any studio project I've ever done at this school. A physical model, a Revit model, sheets, drawings, sections, and overall just completely over the top. Brown's class just had to do one drawing. Makes me mad.

This is the first math-based class I've ever had any level of confidence in taking due solely to Prof Dameron. Her recorded lectures are clutch to review material. She really wants to make sure you understand the material just as much as she wants you to understand why it's important to us as architects. Stay on top of your hw. 10/10 recommend.

Professor Dameron is one of the most knowledgeable and caring professors I have ever met. The content of her classes is pure gold, and she teaches in a captivating manner. Focus on paying attention at what she's saying rather than rushing to take notes. She's very patient and will stay with you outside of class and help you out in any way you need.

She is new to teaching and to the school, but Parker is a good teacher. She takes things very slow and explains very well. If you've just taken physics, the first couple weeks are review. HW is minimal, and not collected until mid-term & final exams. Tests are 5-6 problems. Sometimes she gets giddy like a high schooler, but its better than boredom.

Prof Dameron is an extremely tough grader! Her lectures are great but I think the expectations for students just getting into architecture are way tooo high.

Prof. Parker is a great teacher. She really tries her best to explain things in the easiest ways possible. You'll only have three tests. They are not open notes, but if you do the homework (due on test dates) you should be fine. She's not one of those teachers that tries to trick you. Quite the opposite, she aims for clarity on her exam questions.

Her class is really hard but I did learn a lot. Her classes are power point and lecture heavy which makes paying attention almost impossible but hey you get that with ARCH241. I hated asking her questions l because I felt judged for not getting the material right away. Overall not a bad class just arduous.

Professor Dameron's dedication to her students and their success is unparalleled. She is by far one of my greatest role models and mentors not only at the Savannah College of Art and Design, but in life. Make no mistake to back away from a challenge with her by your side - you will leave her classroom thinking "I can do this."
