Reviews of professor Melinda Lanius

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She is hands down the best mathematics lecturer at the university. She is very reasonable with her deadlines and her notes are exceptionally detailed and informative. She truly cares about what she teacher and will explain why things work rather than asking you to memorize formulae. Exam grading was pretty reasonable and home work was easy.

Dr. Lanius is a great professor. She teaches well and cares for all her students. Some of the homework did not apply to what we learned in class, and the recitation course was often disconnected from her lectures. This is more of a math department problem though, and Dr. Lanius herself was great.

She's very passionate about the subject and very knowledgeable and helpful. Homework is easily handled (1-2 hours per week, instant grading online), and the textbook isn't required. Class is mostly lecture along with group work. Tests are very important, but her tests are not overly difficult or lengthy, and I feel her class covers everything well.
