Reviews of professor Melody Madlem

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you participate in class and ask questions you will be fine! She makes the class environment very comfortable and cares about every one of her students. Great professor and a great human being!

A very frustrating teacher. She does not have a rubric because she doesn't believe in them but then gives you a 0 if your work is not up to her standards, BUT you don't know her standards. She can be very passive aggressive when answering questions and makes you feel stupid. Online she does not provide a lecture or slides, just puts TED talks.

She's nice enough but her assignments are incredibly vague and confusing. She doesn't give meaningful or timely feedback and she doesn't grade very promptly.

Dr. Madlem is easily accessible and deeply cares for her students. I selected her to be my mentor for my internship. Whenever I had a question or concern, she was right there to ensure I got the answer I needed. She is a wonderful professor. If you put in the work, you will be rewarded!

Will only "go out of her way to help you succeed" if she likes you. If not, good luck because you are on your own. The passive aggressiveness that she sometimes uses when you were just asking a question is ridiculous. She is a decent teacher but good luck to you if you have any questions about her confusing assignments.

Dr. Madlem is a good professor, the only thing that I do not like is she opens assignments on Mondays and will like them to be done on Sundays, even if they are long and hard assignments, you only have that week to finish and with no extensions. She is accessible outside of class and does try to help her students, and her feedback is okay.

Madlem is a very easy prof to talk to. She gives good feedback on your assignments that you turn in. Her exams are online and she gives you a few days to do it. All exams are open book. She likes when people participate in class and her exams are very book heavy.
