Reviews of professor Melissa Halford

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
As far as physics classes go professor Halfords class was straight forward and easy. She was always helpful when you asked and her lectures set you up to know what to do.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. All physics classes are hard but her lectures did not help at all. The tests were very difficult and the questions are never something we went over in class or reviews. If you can take anyone else, take them.

Take ANYONE else. Exam average consistently in the fifties. Very unapproachable. She expects you to understand everything with her awful lecturing and barely going over problems in class. Her exams are like nothing done in class. Severely inflexible. Sincerely hope no students have to endure the pain of being enrolled in her course.

She is not a good professor.First of all,the knowledge points of her lecture are not clear and there is no key point.She just talks nonsense about PDF.Then if you hand in the draft in the exam not in time,she won't give you the score of the calculation question,and the exams and homeworks are very difficult.Really horrible!Don't choose her.

I don't get why everybody has her rated poorly, she was far better than most other PHYS professors. She gave understandable lectures and all materials were available online. You'll have to do a lot of outside practice, but she'll help. Tests are hard, but that's normal for PHYS. Halford was very sweet and helpful and knew what she was doing.

The tests are just like her in class problems that you have to do every day for an attendance grade. Very easy class and she teaches the class very well. I wish I could have took her for physics 2.

love Melissa. she is super generous with grade adjustments/scaling. do in class problems but automatically get 80% just for trying and she is very willingly to answer any questions you have. she cares and her tests are fair and prepared me for the common final. drops lowest lab, homework, recitation, 20% of in class work, AND exam replacement

She was extremely gracious with the grading, the lowest quizzes, labs, and in-class assignments were dropped, she offered test corrections, and had a very large curve. Her lectures weren't the best, but still easy to make it through with an A.

Melissa Halford is extremely over hated by people who fail to realize that physics is hard class and requires a lot of work. She is great professor with an extremely gracious grading scale. All of her test offer test corrections for half points back on FRQ question. While physics is hard she's a great professor. Take her.
