Reviews of professor Melissa Altman

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Altman is a kind person at heart, but she is not a good professor. All she does is read off slides with no student engagement. Very few assignments in the classes which makes it harder to learn, and tests are ridiculously long (final exams 200+ questions, regular 90+) The tests have too much material and are too detailed for lower level classes

Fine teacher out of class, but I'm not a fan of her as a professor. She doesn't communicate well and gives assignments back very late. Tests are heavy, but usually forward.

Don't buy the EQM100 book! She has all the info you need on the slides and as long as you study you will do fine. She likes to put extra credit questions on exams and often puts word-for-word questions. She is a kind, easy-going teacher who could afford to be a little firmer with her students.

Study and the tests are not bad at all! Just stay engaged.

Altman is very knowledgeable about the Equine Industry however she does not seem to know how to help struggling students.. her first suggestion is for you to switch majors rather then help you. Her exams are very long so prepare to study

I have been in many of Altman's classes, all of which have been fantastic. Her tests are based on her lectures, so take notes on things she says that are not in the slides. The book helps explain confusing things but isn't tested on. Overall, I found that her classes are great if you're there for the content instead of just trying to pass.
