Reviews of professor Melinda Lake

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had Lake for fluid dynamics EMAE 252 at CWRU. She is definitely the nicest professor I've ever had. She made herself very available outside of class to answer any questions. Lectures were quite hard and she didn't do enough practice problems. Exams were pretty similar to homeworks and the grading was lenient.

First time teaching this class so she is still learning how to be a professor. She was nice but her exams were coming out of nowhere(and low average). Made confusing homework that is not relevant to the midterms. Review problems are irrelevant to the actual exam and she sometimes even don't know how to do them.

Avoid her if you can. Confusing lectures and tough grading. The class was taught way harder than it should be. Very picky about homework and take off a lot of points but her problems are confusing and have a lot of typos in the first place. Gave a few tophat questions for participation but only add to the homework which doesn't boost much.
