Reviews of professor Melissa McCormick

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
When taught by previous professors, this class was simple and straightforward. When taught by Melissa, the class average on the first test was 70%. In ALL of her classes, she constantly tests on material that she has NEVER even mentioned in lecture. Youd be better off teaching yourself from the textbook. Tests on material from her OTHER classes.

This is my first time taking Professor McCormick and I can already say that she is tough. Her quizzes on canvas are ridiculously hard because she doesnt give enough time at all to process the question. Gave 21 question quiz with a time limit of 20 min. How is that even fair to take a Quiz without worrying so much about the time limit

I think professor Melissa McCormick was a really good professor. She is a tough grader but this is a tough class. You can get an A in her class if you study what she says in lecture and her slides. Take good notes and even note the little side comments she makes. She very understanding as well. Only thing I would improve is a bit more time on quiz.

She's alright. She's a tough grader, and can sometimes put questions on tests/quizzes she doesn't really lecture on

Terrible professor. She genuinely wants students to fail, I don't get it. She's a ridiculously harsh grader, marks you off for small things that don't make sense. There are so many more qualified ag professors that should teach instead. She's just horrible.

Often rude and has literally scoffed at student questions before. When asked for guidance she says Idk, you tell me or Hmm, I have no idea to be honest. Unprofessional. I honestly dont know how shes still a professor here when shes received endless bad evals. Will lecture the bare minimum but tests are incredibly detailed.

Lectures dont match with test and quizzes. Literally have to know every detail about everything ever in order to pass. Weekly quizzes, one midterm, and one final. Powerpoints are 50+ slides and need to know everything. Teacher can be rude and does not explain things well. She pronounces words weird and can be confusing

The worst. Take anyone else if possible. She tests on the random details she says in class (or in most cases doesn't say), is so rude when you ask questions or is very unhelpful when she decides to actually answer. She is also so unorganized and unknowable yet gets angry at students who are the same. Would give a 0 if allowed.

A good introductory course. Met once a week. Didn't really teach anything, just had guest speakers. Super tough on grading though and has plenty of sass to go around. She is very understanding if you speak to her prior to something. Biggest assignment throughout semester was a group project.
