Reviews of professor Daniel Melleno

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Focused way more on how to interpret history rather than learning about history. It's super repetitive and you are asked to summarize the lectures at the end of every week. Was excited about this class and was disappointed

Great guy who makes a class that could be very boring pretty interesting and engaging.

Melleno requires lots of participation from students in this seminar type class. But, the readings were interesting and he incorporated other forms of media which was really interesting. We talked about crusader memes and modern depictions of vikings. This class was fun and not too difficult, you will have to do some critical thinking though.

His class on the Dark Ages is definitely lecture heavy, as that is what you spend all of class doing for the most part, but it's engaging material and he always answers questions. He is someone who has fun with his job and definitely recommend taking one of his courses if you're interested in Medieval history at DU

Daniel "forgot" or "didn't have time" to grade the final, which consisted of an 8 page written essay in class. Actually ridiculous. Leaving many students at a lower than necessary grade. The lectures were drab, long, and a total bore. Don't recommend taking his barbarians class, too much reading is expected for a student with 5 other classes.
