Reviews of professor Melanie Caughey

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
So boring. All she does is read from powerpoints, and half the time no one has any idea whats going on. Her assignments we're tedious and she gives really detailed feedback, but its kind of mean. She doesn't explain assignments unless you ask her, which makes no sense. She takes criticism well, and she's nice.

Professor Caughey is the worst professor I have ever had. She grades incredibly hard and expects you to use a citation for common knowledge. She made me feel like i should drop out of my program because I am not smart enough to complete it. If you ask her a question, just expect her to stare at you like you just spoke gibberish. I

I hate this prof. I learned nothing applicable. She was meant to be a researcher, NOT an instructor. All of her assignments were extremely vague with directions, but when she would provide feedback it would be extremely tedious. Nothing she had me correct was in the rubric. She seems to take feedback well but doesnt actually change anything.

I've had her through Cleveland and I've dreaded every class with her. She is so detailed that I can't grasp the big picture. Her assignments take me hours (final project >50 hours to complete). She requires specifics that aren't in the vague rubric and makes me re-do work constantly. I've never felt so defeated as a student and learned so little.

I've been in this class for 2 weeks. She treats you like 5th graders, talks down on you, and never EVER explains an assignment. I truly didnt even know what this class was about when I started.

This professor is harsh to say the least. She will give vague, unclear directions to complex assignments, and grade you from her own arbitrary guidelines. You can tell she knows a lot about the field, but its unclear why she chose to instruct. The lectures are just slides of the weekly reading, and her feedback is demeaning and petty.
