Reviews of professor Melissa Vise

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Vise is a history student's professor. She is really into the topics and you can have a conversation with her whenever just to talk about the material. If you are not a history kid is a reading heavy course that is a good 1-2 hours of homework per class.

Dr. Vise is cool. Really really like her as a person. As a prof, she expects that her class takes priority. So. Much. Reading. And you can't just skim and expect to be fine in class. She knows when people haven't read, and it's not a huge deal, but you def can't slack all semester and expect to pass. She's an awesome person who runs a tough class.

Professor Vise was one of my favorite professors I had last semester. Does a good job keeping lectures interesting and explaining content. She can be intimidating at first but I highly suggest going to office hours before turning in her papers.

Professor Vise is a very nice teacher who is easily available outside of class. Her midterm this year was far too comprehension for the amount of time allotted which upset many students. However, her classes are very interesting and engaging. It is a lot of reading, but if you are interested in the subject matter it is not so bad.

Lots and lots of tedious reading. Really tough about participation, if you don't say at least one meaningful comment per class your grade will suffer. Assigns so much work that she expects you to only pay attention to her class. She doesn't do the best job of keeping students engaged either. Overall an underwhelming professor and class.

Really cares about her students and expects you to work hard, but if you are willing to she will help you as much as possible. Expect a lot of text book reading and essay writing.

She is such a good professor. She makes the class super interesting and relatable, and she is always available to help. She won't just give As out for no reason. But if you listen in class, and don't fall asleep, an A- is completely do-able without that much effort at all. She made even the most boring primary sources pretty interesting.

As a potential history major I really enjoyed her class. A fair amount of reading, and a hard midterm, but otherwise a really engaging and interesting professor.

Professor Vise is a very sweet and caring professor. She makes time to meet with each student outside of class and gives great feedback on essays. There is quite a lot of reading but it is manageable. Participation makes up 25% of the grade, however she makes it very easy for all students (even the quiet ones) to speak up.
