Reviews of professor Michelle Merlo

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I think the class was really cool. I did enjoy what we did in there. However, professor Merlo had a very poor attitude toward her students which made it much harder to do work with enthusiasm. She often embarrassed students in front of the class and belittled them for small mistakes. I wish she gave the same respect she expected from us. Not nice.

Great class, I learned a lot. I maybe read the readings like once, so I wouldn't say they are mandatory. Just make sure to annotate and participate in class and you are fine. 4 absences and it's an automatic F, and no phones at all but she does not mind computers. Easy A for me, based off of 4 papers and they're fairly short and she helps with them

Although the class itself wasnt hard and maintained a pretty consistent schedule, Professor Merlo is horrible at communicating what she wants for the assignments and belittled students throughout the semester. She makes the class a lot harder than it needs to be.
