Reviews of professor Melisa Secola Nieft

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Melisa is one of the most sweetest and caring professors I know. She is very clear on her expectations and provides a lot of great resources for class which helped me when the textbook had dense text information. She will also make sure we understand the content by reviewing each time.

Melisa is an absolute delight. She is very understanding and willing to work with students. The class is pretty long but she makes it very interesting and engaging. I would 100% take her class again.

She is beyond caring. I've hit a rough patch and she worked with me to ensure I could get a good grade despite hardships. She responds very timely to emails. All she gives is exams and a final project. Her exams are super long, but she lets you work on them for a couple of weeks. The night class made me tired, but she has interesting content.

Professor Melisa is one of the nicest Psychology professors here at UH Hilo. She understands that life happens and as long as you communicate with her, she will help you out. Her exams are opened book and easy to do and overall she is just a sweet professor that I really recommend taking. You can tell that she is passionate about what she does.

Professor Secola was the most understanding and compassionate professor Ive ever had in my four years at UH Hilo. She assigns four quizzes throughout the semester and a term paper at the very end. Quizzes are easy if you pay attention in class. Its clear that she truly cares about her students. I highly recommend taking courses from her.

Dr. Secola is inspirational and understanding. You need the textbook for the final presentation. She may overwhelm you with a lot of resources and her lectures cover the textbook. Not too much homework. No exams or papers, except the final reflection at the end. Fair grading, but no timely feedback. Show up and participate, you'll do just fine.
