Reviews of professor Michelle Flenniken

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Taught by three professors, all are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She fails to properly explain most material and quickly glosses over it as if it is common knowledge. Very stoic.

When asked to explain the homework in detail, she instead talked about research that was explicitly stated to be irrelevant to tests or class necessities.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very self absorbed in the material. When asked to explain confusing homework assignments for the class, she said she didn't want to cut out lecture time, which consisted of describing personal research that was admitted to have no relevance to the course material or exams. Very stoic and intimidating.

It is clear to me that the low ratings for Dr. Flenniken are from people who did not pay any attention or attend class. I have taken classes and worked under Michelle and can confidently say that she cares about her students and their learning. Anyone who knows her would think it is hilarious that anyone referred to her as "Stoic and intimidating".

I thought this would be an easy A class, but I was very mistaken. There is a speaker in every class and the professor walks around making sure you are not on your phone or talking during a lecture of 300 people... The quizzes you have to take after every lecture are so difficult with the most ridiculously hard questions. She is rude and unforgiving

Amazing professor! Definitely don't want to miss class. Seems to want students to do well & gives tools to do so. Very transparent w/expectations, fair & easy to talk to. You'll have to put in work to earn an A, but unlike other classes, you'll probably retain the info since she makes lectures so engaging & interesting. Favorite class taken @ MSU
