Reviews of professor Melissa Carver

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Take Tax with Professor Sottile. The way the class is set up makes it very easy to pass with a good grade, lots of extra credit, exams are open book/open notes and made up of identical questions from homework/practice exam.  Honestly a 5th grader would be able to get an A in this class.

Prof. Sottile explains things well, and if you don't get it, she'll figure out another way to explain the concept until something clicks for you.  Exams are hard but she gives you lots of handouts and if you come to class, it's not too bad.

Melissa doesnt just take book slides and read material like some profs. She reorganizes the chapter to be more logical, and explains the thinking behind stuff. Class was harder than 2001 but its standardized, so pick a prof like Melissa who puts in the time and effort, in and out of class. Lectures are good, uses real-world experiences.

Prof. Sottile cares a lot about her students.  I'm taking her class this semester.  Many times after class she's stopped to talk with me.  Very accessible.  Exams are hard but she gives a lot of practice so if you stay with it, it's not too bad.  Her examples are very helpful and make the material make sense.  Lots of extra credit too.
