Reviews of professor Melanie Parry

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Just no. Disrespectful. Passive aggressive. Unreasonable. Does not teach or explain concepts.Takes off points even if you have an excused absence. Very hard tests and grader. Changes the syllabus and expectations constantly. Is always behind. Is not understanding of personal struggles in life or class. Does not embody a single core value of A&M.

Definitely one of the better professors I have had here at A&M. As long as you show up to class and participate you will do well. She also offers a lot of extra credit opportunities that can really help at the end of the semester so I would recommend doing them.

you can only miss 3 classes unexcused before she starts taking points of ur final grade. i didnt make any good grades on the stuff in class bc i guess she was just really picky bc i knew my words and stuff made sense. class is mostly just practicing with a partner, which feels like it lasts forever. other than that, she was really nice.

She's a nice and decent prof overall. Always responsive to questions and created a welcoming environment. Attendance is a grade, and it is worth a lot. Would not recommend taking as an 8 AM for this reason. Offers plentiful extra credit that has the opportunity to give you a nice bump.

Prof Parry is pretty great, but some of the requirements of the department are frustrating (attendance, badly created exams). Our class was always let out 30 minutes early, which is nice on the surface, but means a lot of missed class time for a T/Th class. She did give extra credit, which pushed my grade to an A, but I was glad to be finished.

The class itself is fine. There's plenty extra credit, so even if you miss an assignment (which is easy to do since homework isn't on canvas), you have a good chance of recovery. She's not very good at responding to emails and very combative with me when I pointed out issues with my grades. Lectures don't teach very much, but she lets out early ig

The class is extremely rushed. She expects us to be FLUENT in Spanish even though it's only our second year. She makes insensitive jokes (such as calling women ugly) and has no sympathy when it comes to someone failing the class or someone who is struggling. I feel as though I am in middle school once again when in class. Not helpful when needed.

Avoid taking her class. Extremely rude and not understanding. Frequently accuses students of cheating and implies students aren't smart enough to do the work without a translator. Makes the class way harder to manage than it should be. Reads straight from the textbook so you might as well teach yourself. Never had a prof this problematic at A&M.
