Reviews of professor Melissa Canlas

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Canlas is a very warm and nice professor BUT for a 2 unit class, the workload is ridiculous! Weekly reflections are a must + work toward your final project + mandatory out of class events. There is one lengthy group project. For our final, you have to write a 12-page paper following a specific outline format. Good class but too much work for me

Dr. Canlas is one of the most intelligent, well-spoken professors I have ever had. She has high expectations only because she wants you to succeed. There is a lot of reading for her class, but she does a great job of choosing relevant and interesting sources. Write and speak with purpose. Ask the hard questions. Don't be afraid to participate.
