Reviews of professor Melanie Parry

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you already know spanish because she will accuse you of looking words up online because they aren't typical for a "302 student". Her exams are so difficult even if its an easy topic be prepared to know the hardest rules for conjugating. If you don't understand something, 7 times out of 10 she will say "well you just have to know"

Profe Parry is hilarious. If you're soft and overly sensitive to jokes regarding pop culture then you're not a fit for her class. Responds to emails quickly. Offers extra credit opportunities like it's candy on halloween, it's awesome. You just have to try and be organized! There are a lot of online assignments, but it's good practice.

Participation is really big in this class & she teaches material well in an engaging way!
But I didn't like the classroom management tho- pretty strict on getting up from your seat (must say where you're going), going on phone, tardies/absences (maybe this is a department thing). It just felt like high school so I wouldn't take her class again tbh

Does not actually teach you the material. She just reads directly from the textbook. her tests are hard and she will grade unreasonably hard on your participation and essays. I do not reccomend.

Taught like a low level highschool class

She does not teach, only recites her slides straight from the textbook. Goes too fast to learn anything. When asked a question, it's so obvious that she's guessing or will straight up tell you she doesn't know and never get back to you. She will teach you that you can use either/or, then you get counted off for getting it "wrong" on her quizzes.

She's amazing and has a great personality. A lot of people rate her bad but she is so sweet and loves doing fun games that help us learn. People complained about her letting us out early too much, so now she won't let us out early.  She does take attendance for a grade but if you take an 8am-she will cut you some slack.

She is a really nice professor and she gives a lot of extra credit. Show up to class and it is not difficult at all.

Prof. Parry is really nice and she likes to get to know her students. She gives so much extra credit it's awesome. Just be prepared to put yourself out there and participate in her games and questions. The material is easy to learn and the exams are nothing to worry about, very straightforward. Her homework assignments can be challenging though.

Really kind and great prof, understand that learning a new language isn't easy, and provides plenty of help, credit, and activities inside and outside of class to help you learn. Literally don't know why she's been given low scores because "you don't learn anything", maybe pay attention in class and participate? Honestly the best prof I've had here
