Reviews of professor Michele Cauley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
professor cauley was one of my favorites! she is so sweet and really cares about her students. attendance is mandatory but otherwise the class is super easy bc she isn't a harsh grader at all. 2 tests, 2 papers, and 2 group projects. tests were super easy and the class is pretty relevant. would highly recommend!!

DO NOT TAKE HER. She gives no feedback on ANYTHING; no one gets a hundred, and it is honestly starting to look like she gives out grades arbitrarily. She said our project was great, and she had no criticism - we still got a 90. PPTs are vague. Pretends to play nice. Exams include specific things from ppts like "What did slide 34/102 say?"

Pretty easy A. She lectures from slides that are posted on Canvas and exams are open note and MC. Only downsides are that attendance is mandatory and class can be kind of boring.

It is obvious that she reads directly from a Word document verbatim when lecturing.

Exams and smartbook homework are easy and will boost your grade. The major problem I have with this class is the speaker reflection papers. We have had 5 this semester, no one gets an A (most get around an 80) and she gives no feedback so you can't improve for the next one. Everyone in the class is annoyed about this. Lectures are really boring.

Overall she was a semi-decent professor. Exams were easy and not lockdown and there was a lot of SmartBook assignments to pad your grade. She did take FOUR months to grade papers turned in though and even then never gave anyone a 100, so you went into finals week thinking you had a higher grade in the class than you really did. Attendance mandatory

Prof Cauley is very nice. You have 2 group projects, 2 individual projects, and 2 tests. She never gives anyone a 100 so be aware of that. If you get on her good side, she will grade a bit nicer and she is a respected professor that will give you good recommendations for jobs, etc. This is definitely a professor that you want to be friends with.

She is just a very sweet person. She asks how you day and weekend was in a genuine manner and not out of formality. Throughout the semester, she sends you job and internship opportunities which is extremely helpful. The content of her lecturers are meaningful and the project guidelines are CLEAR. Just show up, engage, and you'll do great.

Provides too much information for tests and expects knowledge on very specific things. For example, there is usually 100 slides of notes in a unit and she expects you to know exactly whats on slide 87.

Do not take Professor Cauley. She has zero respect for your time and is very nitpicky with her grading. It's obvious she grades tougher because she knows her class should be an easy A. She also had us purchase a textbook that I only used to study for the midterm. I learned nothing in this class.
