Reviews of professor Michelle Gaines

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Gaines is nothing short of amazing. She is unarguably the best teacher at Spelman College. While in her class, she always encourages you to learn and genuinely wants you to succeed. Dr. Gaines is truly a gem. In her class, I felt compelled to do better. She is a extremely personable teacher. You will not regret enrolling in her class.

Dr. Gaines is the absolute best! If you aren't taking her then what are you doing with your life??? She is ALWAYS accessible in her office and is always wiling to lend a helping hand. Dr. Gaines makes sure that students understand the material clearly before moving on and provides very detailed lecture PowerPoints. Extra credit is also available!

I would highly recommend you take her class. She is a great professor, she is always accessible in her office, and works really hard to make sure you as an individual understands what is going on if you ask for help. She gives a ton of extra credit. She is always willing to be accommodating for the class if asked, ei. extending homework.

Professor Gaines is truly a sweet woman but awful when it comes to grading. She has tests almost every two weeks but you won't know your grades until the last minute. She also lectures very heavily and can easily get distracted or go on tangents. I wouldn't recommend this class if you like to have your grades quickly.

Dr. Gaines is a very sweet woman and a very fair professor. She let us use cheat sheets and push dates back all semester. I had an excellent grade in her class, but I didn't know until a full month after the final. If you actually want to learn, do not take her. She would be working on problems for the whole class and the answer would be wrong.

Throughout the semester she was patient and would explain things to you during class and office hours if asked.The downside is many times, she would lose track and we left class behind and confused.The worst thing is that grades were NEVER returned until final grades were posted.Overall a nice person but teaching style did not match learning style.

Dr. Gaines is a new professor and really cares on how she can best convey the material so that the entire class understands. This is challenging if you're a fast learner, because she accommodates for the class thus affecting lecture time being cut short due to many questions. I received an A- & it's possible to receive an A if you do extra credit!

She Is a super sweet person and she is very accomadating. Because she is a new teacher I feel like at times she got flustered and was trying to get her footing. The actual lectures arent very helpful but she is great outside the class. Homework and extra credit help your grade. Outside resources are also going to be helpful.
