Reviews of professor Michelle McRae

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Gives enough work to count for two classes and will then give you more work on top of that.

If I were to take this professor in person, I think I would have liked this class better. On CollabUltra, she was good at explaining programming concepts. Online though, I felt as if she cared more about the discussion assignments than our coding. She has very poor communication skills, and was not understanding to unfortunate circumstances.

The class itself isn't that hard but she grades hard. Program rubrics are specific but somehow she will take points off. She takes so long to answer emails and instructions for programs are sometimes unclear. She stresses correct grammar in the syllabus but she makes plenty of mistakes in emails, exams, tests, and programmign instructions.

The professor herself actually knows the subject matter well, but runs her class like a dumpster fire.  I dropped this class having 10 assignments ungraded in the portal.  You have no idea where you stand in this class, along with trying to dodge shady grading, no responses to emails, unclear instructions, Canvas problems, & changing expectations.

Not a good professor. You are completely going to be dependent on the textbook as there is no form of lecture or anything in the curriculum. She is bad at communication. If you email her, she NEVER responds. I could not take the mid-term exam due to tech issues, and it's been a week w/ no response so I had to withdraw to save my GPA.

Taking class now and regret it. So much work every week but doesn't grade anything within a reasonable amount of time. The only things I have grades for are the automatically graded online quizzes, all other assignments? who knows. Instructions are very unclear for any of the projects and she does not respond to emails.

I wish I would have read the reviews before taking this class with this professor! She is the ABSOLUTE worst! She assigns these coding projects with little to no detail or instruction. Helpful videos you say? Do not expect those! She puts out these ridiculous 5-9 minute videos where you can hardly hear her. DO NOT TAKE HER! It lowered my gpa :(

The lectures are never helpful and you barely have enough time to finish her midterms and final exams. She takes forever to grade things, which makes it difficult to gauge what to improve on of the teacher isnt telling you. Ive also sent her four emails to her into total this semester and she only responded to one of them

Ignores all emails, might respond two weeks later. Lectures are entirely useless, they are recordings she made with a broken microphone cutting in and out and volume so low you can't hear anything. Gave the wrong midterm from a different class. Schedule is wrong. Most assignments dont have due dates. Semester over and still hasn't graded anything.
