Reviews of professor Mela Hardin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She runs through this class somewhat fast in order to cover everything. She's very laid back. If you go to class and office hours, the class is pretty simple. WebWork is a pain, but its the only real pain. Make sure to go to the review sessions for this class, because it usually has problems directly from the test or extremely similar to them.

I took this course online. The professor seemed very unorganized and typically took long amounts of times to respond to time sensitive student forum questions. Grades also weren't put in until the end of the course, and grade calculations were disabled. There were also too many platforms used in my opinion (ex. Canvas, Piazza, Webwork, & Slack).

Very hard to follow, just puts sample problems on the board with little to no explanation. Grades are not posted in timely fashion so you don't know grades. Tests are a majority of your grade 50%, 25% is assignments and the other 25% is final. Does not seem to care about students and if they fall behind.

She's horrendous. Maybe she's better in person, but in an online class she's one of the worst I've ever had. Generally unreachable, apathetic, uninformative, and doesn't fill the gaps missing in the online lectures. The homework has questions the lectures don't cover and you will be teaching yourself with YouTube if you want to pass her class.

Awesome teacher who is available to help outside of class consistently and does a great job teaching Calc II. I think something like 80% of our class passed in the spring compared with the usually low calc II average. It's a difficult class because of the material, but with Hardin it's very doable. Be warned, she is a bit quiet so sit up front.
