Reviews of professor Melinda Simon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Simon really cares about her students. She just finished her first year at SJSU. Her office hours were always open to students with questions and she made sure students felt welcome there. People should not take her friendliness or niceness for granted she will slash grades for slackers. Gotta put in the work to earn the grade.

Simon is a very good professor. She tries to make her exams and HW related to actual engineering methods and practices which makes her class very engaging. This method can be difficult for some people but it will benefit their soft skills related to engineering.

Professor Simon is a great professor for BME 168. She is highly knowledgable and makes this class interesting. She cares alot for her students and is always willing to help. The class is content heavy but Professor Simon always puts emphasis on the important topics. Take this class with Professor Simon!

She waits for the last day of the semester to grade each and every assignment. This is very dangerous because no one knows where the entire grade is heading or how much more effort needs to be given. Even after multiple reminders to the professor, it seems she doesn't bother. She doesn't care for her students at all, that much I know.

She is the worst instructor San Jose State University has ever had!

117 is a dreaded class but Prof Simon teaches it the most simple and easy way. Take advantage of asking questions because Prof Simon is always willing to help. In this class it is important to know and understand everything covered in lectures as the midterms are like the homework.

I think professor Simon has really grown since those older reviews. My only complaint is the number of technical issues she has especially with still having an online class. She explains things well and in detail. Caring and respects student feedback. She does clicker questions at the beginning of class. Just review her slides and you'll be good

She doesn't know how to lecture... First of all she doesn't upload the slides before class which i think would help since she goes so fast and I just stopped going to class cuz there was no point if I can't understand what is going on. One of my friend got an A by just memorizing the slides. 1 midterm, few online quizzes and hw. 1 research paper.

You will pass the class if you put in the effort. Testing is probably the hardest part, you dont get a lot of time and you can only view 1 question at a time.
