Reviews of professor Milena Melo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Weekly 10 question quizzes on lecture and textbook readings (which is a lot if material for a short quiz). Constant note-taking and powerpoints are NOT posted online. For tests you can not just memorize a definition to a word or topic. You have to understand it completely. Also, In my personal opinion, the class gets a bit too political as well.

She is great. Had her for medical anthropology. She keeps the class fun. No test but lots of papers and readings. It is manageable just read. She is heavy with participation. She is a genuinely nice person and ready to help.

The best lectures were the ones I slept through. Lectures are hard to follow and powerpoints... well they are not good. Weekly quizzes, make sure you study a few minutes before class. Tests are hard for intro type class, but study and your be alright. Never read the text and easy A. She was also way to political.

DO NOT TAKE HER. Quizzes every (sometimes twice) a week. They are in depth and really hard. You have to completely understand EVERYTHING (which is crazy for an intro level class) Her powerpoints are so hard to follow - they are all over the place with tiny little writing. She takes the full hour 15 and sometimes even goes over. Worst class ever.
