Reviews of professor Michele Calderon

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class as a core and I honestly regret it. This is not a 100 level course it should be 300-400. Each week you have 3 assignments due and you will spend about 2-3 for each assignment. There is a 8 page paper and will give zeros for late submissions. If you are trying to complete a core or think it's an easy going class IT"S NOT!

Very knowledgeable on the topic. Lectures are interesting and engaging. She is one of the most knowledgeable about the class topic of any professor I've had. There's a few papers that are most of the grade, around 5 pages each. Readings can be a lot at times but are required for the papers. Very solid professor and I'd recommend taking her.

If you want to take this online class because its easy, think again. She expects you to work. She records lectures and gives weekly homework. You write a big paper. She gives tons of feedback on draft 1 and grades the final draft for improvement. Follow her feedback and your final grade will go up. My writing improved so much because of her class.

Dont take this class by professor Calderon. Weekly work which isnt bad, but major reasearch paper which counts as final also. She grades hard like an English teacher which she isnt. If you dont do well on rough draft and final reasearch paper then your screwed. Same for the two exams. If you can choose another teacher.

Prof. Calderon was an amazing professor for my POSC 107 class. We had weekly readings/notes to take as well as completing discussion posts. Her recorded lectures were very helpful and she also posted the powerpoints from her lectures so we could go back and review them. She provides a lot of feedback on assignments and wants to see you do well.

Professor Calderon is a demanding instructor. She really cares about her students and wants them to learn. She has high expectations, but she helps you along the way. She's available for questions. I came into the class with almost no knowledge of international relations, and I learned a ton. Her class makes you work hard, though.

She is the best teacher i've had at Towson. she is so knowledgeable about the international community and really makes class interesting. The class has a midterm and a final, which are both multiple choice OPEN NOTES, and then 4-5 page essays with that. The final paper she takes your step by step so its very easy to understand. great great teacher!

Professor Calderon is one of the best professors I have had in Towson so far. She truly cares about her students and helping them succeed. Her class was very enjoyable and I recommend taking one of her classes 100%. She is able to take a class specifically for international relations and make it relate to everyone. Take her class!
