I really enjoyed the class, she is a good teacher. A little rude, but fair. I got a B without really reading the book, just looking through it.
GOOD TEACHER! SHE DOES TEND TO GET OFF TOPIC ALOT. BUT SHE IS PRETTY EASY. SHE WILL REVIEW WITH U B4 THE TEST AND IF U STUDY WAT SHE SAYS THE TESTS WILL BE EASY. I MADE A B W/O READING THE BOOK.
One week I didn't have money to take the bus to school and told her I had to miss class. She gave me money for the bus and told me I didn't have to pay her back. I would have had to miss all my classes if she hadn't done that. She's reviewing for the book review so I don't think it will be that bad.
Mrs. Mellow is a very good and understanding instructor. She respects everyone's needs outside of class as well as inside. She gives very vivid instructions and helps you understand in more than one perspective.

A no nonsense lady. Makes it clear she won't stand for lateness, ageism (her favorite -ism), cell phones or rudeness. I actually quite enjoyed her class. Very helpful. Be ready to work hard, participate and act like an adult!
I took her class the summer after I graduated. She didn't make us read any books... I thought her class was relatively easy. Maybe she has a diff. syllabus for differnt sessions... I would recommend her for summer courses. DO NOT come into her class late. N DO NOT argue about being late.
Great teacher. You'll do well if you pay attention, take notes, and take the class seriously. She is pretty laid back unless you are late or being rude.
She lectured, she taught, she discussed...she tested. very simple. If you are going to school to umhhh learn, then take her. You just have to listen while she is talking, get involved in class discussions and you will pass the test. She gives reviews so what else do you need? I am vey pleased to have her as part of my "social convoy"

She does a wonderful job teaching. I took psychology at U of H and from my experiences of all the professors in about any of my classes she's the best. She does a wonderful job with teaching the material as well as giving examples, giving a study guide, going further to explain in further detail if we don't understand and she does it all in a spu

Interesting and engaging lectures. Very clear. If you pay attention in class you really don't even need to read the book- I didn't and made an A on her test. However, she expects that everyone read ahead of time to participate in class discussions. Great teacher.
:) Easy A, just show up, listen to lectures, 3 major tests, drops the lowest and then there's an easy study guide to help you study on your own for the final and final exam is pretty easy if you've listened to her lecture. I got an A, never reading the book once.

I usually don't make comments here, but I like to read them. I had to comment when I read the previous one. I had the instructor for intro and I'm taking lifespan in the mini semester and all her tests come from what she teaches, the book, and the learning objectives. She's a great teacher and all I can say is that the previous comment is full o
Very good instructor - clear, helpful and intelligent. i would definitely take more courses with her.
I hated this guy before me! Who do you think you are to say that this teacher is a ****?You should be ashamed of yourself and start studying to improve your thinking capacity.This teacher gave the whole class 10 pts for doing some simple assignments,drops your lowest grade and her tests are very easy and simple.I made an“A”& I'm BLACK.
Clear lectures, interesting examples and funny. she gave us a study guide and lots of sample questions for the final exam, extra credit too.
Great instructor, very helpful. final exam was a breeze

OMG I know who made the comment before this. he just couldn't get it - amazing and he's blaming her. rofl She's cool, go for it.
Even though the class was 8 in the morning she made the class enjoyable and interesting
Very fair. One regular paper and one extra credit paper worth 10 points and other extra credit during the semester to boost your grade. Very helpful will stay after class to explain if you don't understand.

Shes an "okay" teacher...u dont even need to go to class..she doesnt check for attendance at all her test are hard though..
she talks alot only b/c she has a passion for psychology. her lessons are straight from the book so if you miss class all you need to do is read the chapter. her notes & reviews are pretty helpful but most exam questions come from the book.
Keeps the class lively and fun. Easy essay test on extra book to read. Study guide for essay test and regular tests. Go for it

I had to take the class for my program and wasnt interested but she made it fun and time went fast, gives extra help if you dont understand
Wonderful instructor. I love her sense of humor. She made class interesting as well as challenging. Definitely look for her classes.
the exams are easy! T@KE HER

Very funny teacher. I love her sense of humor, She makes class very relaxing, if you take time and do your study, you can have good grade. Extra credit is easy, because when you're doing it, you're also revising your work. She is willing to help you if you have question also. Great teacher.
She's a funny professor. Makes class interesting in a nutshell easy class! :D

She is great teacher. Very fun and energetic. My favorite teacher since I've been in college.
This is an awesome instructor. She makes sure to try to keep everyone on the same page. She gives plenty of extra credit. There is really no reason anyone should fail unless they simply don't care. She makes the class interesting as she has a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone.
Get ready to challenge yourself and read the textbook in order to be successfully in her class.. Good Luck
She is a great teacher!! the classes are really enjoyable. You will have 4 tests of multiple choice ( just study her notes and chapter objectives and you will make an A)and you will also need to ready a book( she will also give you a review for the essay test). Gives extra credit as well
Great teacher, she is very enthusiastic about her subject & has great energy. I love that she requires that the class participates. She's very knowledgeable & willing to help
Nice teacher, but be ready to learn the whole book. Eventhoug I got a B I leran a lot from her, but if I have to take Pscy again she is the last teacher I wlli get. Good Luck
Great Professor! Makes the class/subject interesting.
An excellent instructor! She's smart, graceful, funny and serious about her class. Her teaching is absolutely insteresting and if you really listen to her at class, you'll get a good score.
sweet teacher who can help student go well with study, funny, relaxing time of class. gives you study guide to make sure you know whats on test, clear, easy to understand and remember
Mrs. mello was an OK teacher. She wasn't that bad or good. She was strict about paying attention to what she saying rather than writing down what was on the powerpoint. She picks on you if she sees your not paying attention or doing something else. She doesn't help that much, basicly tells you the same thing over again.
Very good instructor,goes over every detail of the test, encourages students to participate, very funny, active, real
She's really easy, explains things all the way, will explain further if you dont understand, she has study guides for tests, makes things really easy, easy A
She is nice, and tells good relevant stories to the class that helps me learn, some test questions are hard
She gives 4 tests, 1 essay test plus the final test. Just took the essay test it was very easy. You have to read 3 topics in the textbook and you get to pick 1 essay question and write 1 page. Very interesting class we do experiments in class.
Nice teacher, good sense of humor, 4 tests, 1 easy essay, Drops lowest test grade. Textbook is needed, lots of chapters on each test. Study guide provided by teacher. Do practice tests online they will help you. Some test questions come from online practice tests.
Very funny and helpful. I just took the 1st test and noticed that she does give you hints about test questions during class and she gives you the study guide. A lot of easy questions on the test.I like that the class is interactive.
Took her for Growth and Development.. I thought she was a bit rude/sarcastic at times but maybe it's because she's from New York. Participate in class! Her powerpoints are not very helpful they are only skeletons of what you need to know. YOU MUST READ THE TEXTBOOK. Tests are not easy As! I studied and BARELY made a B.
I thought she was pretty rude also for someone who is teaching psychology...there's no reason to take notes from her slides because the tests are strictly from the textbook. You must read the book in order to make an "A". I just read the summaries after every chapter and passed with an A!
Tests were from textbook and study guide.She has a great spirit,she made class fun and interesting
Good professor... as long as you print her power points and listen/participate in class discussion, you will make an A... Tests are easy and mostly common sense...
She was excellent! READ READ READ, reading is number 1.
She is very passionate and encouraged me to look deeper & understand vs. just memorize. High standards & no bs attitude is very effective
She?s funny and caring. We had a lot of reading with a textbook and a research report for the summer but she gave us a study guide for all the tests. Very helpful.
She is very kind and a straightforward professor-deals students with respect and is passionate and honest in her dealings. She communicates very clearly and provides material to look for help.
She has high expectations of her students. She expects you to print out the lecture slides, read before class, participate and BE ON TIME. Need book to study for test. Offers a decent amount of EC throughout the semester. Has a quirky personality. Once you get used to it, you get that she's a nice lady that partied in the 60's/70s
SHE IS A SWEET WOMAN
Mrs. Mello is a great teacher. She does have high expectations for her students, read before class and print out her lecture notes. She does provide extra credit through out the semester. You will have to print out the study guide, which is what she tests you on. If you study that and attend class (attendance is graded) you will have no problem.
She is a wonderful teacher. She keeps us focus and everything. She is very funny and teaches the info great
Focused professor. As an older student she ensured all were involved in discussion(s). Practical applications of what was discussed in each class. I can appreciate her and if you want to learn the importance of lifespan I would recommend to take her course. Yes, the book is mandatory; take notes, and use the study guide you too ascertain an A.
Really fun professor great sense of humor. Fun class. Read the chapters, flashcards, and other stuff she has posted and you'll do great.4 multiple choice tests, multiple choice final exam and 1 essay test
This Class was actually easy, I just did not apply myself like I should have. The bad thing is you don't do alot of work so you have to get good grades on the stuff you do. Shes funny, and her test are easy. BUT DON'T BE LATE SHE FROWN :-( on lateness.
Love this prof. She uses lots of examples from her life that explains the topics, lots of video clips, extra credit to boost your grade. drops the lowest grade on the multiple choice tests. very caring and very funny
I hated this class in the beginning. But after a while I learned to love it. She is very passionate about this subject. She uses A LOT of life experience as examples that relate to this course. Tons of video clips shown, she's funny. In order to pass her class.. show up, PARTICIPATE, and study her study guide. It'll be a breeze if you do all 3.
very interactive class. she is really passionate about this subject, tests are really easy of you read.
Mrs. Mello is anything but. While very passionate about her lectures and the topics she will skip important information if she sees no one "bothered to read the text." So make sure you have read the chapters prior to class and participate during or she will not elaborate on the subject. She is blunt - take her words for what they are worth to you .
She's very passionate about this subject and you can tell that she loves it. She taught me psychology in a way that I could understand. She makes you love the subject.
She is one of the best professors of HCC. I enjoyed her class. I gained new knowledge form her. She used lot of life experience to help me understand. She is so nice. Hope to get professor like her in every subjects.
Mrs. Mello expects all of her students to be engaged in her class. Communication and participation is desired. She is funny and uses various of videos to make her lectures much more meaningful and coherent. She provides extra credit and a study guide.
Ms. Mello is a very good professor. She explains the subject matter well and gives a lot of examples. She's a stickler for punctuality & classroom policies (use of cellphones in class, etc.) so be aware of that. Listen to her lectures, read the book and study her study guide and you will do great in her class.
Her class is easy and you learn. She gives a study guide for the tests and they're really helpful. Class participation is a must. She doesn't like when people are late or skip class. I think she takes points off a test if you're late. She gives extra credit as well. She explains a lot in her lectures.
Very interesting lectures because she is very passionate about the subject. Doesn't like when you come in late or use your phone in class. Multiple choice tests and one essay test. Loved this professor and would take again .
Professor Mello is a great professor and really enjoys what she does. She HIGHLY encourages classroom participation and hates it when people remain silent during her lectures. I would recommend her to anyone looking to take psychology.
don't take her... she is really bad professor..i regret
Awesome class
She is not good in lecture. Teach to fast and skip many points. You have to read and study by your own primarily. Boring class, not easy to get A.
Very clear in what she expects, will tell you once and usually does not like to go over it again. If you do not participate she will move on and not elaborate much. Makes you read a book, essay test over it. Tests are ok, not hard, make sure to read the chapters because her notes are not detailed. be on time, you might miss something.
This professor is very enthusiastic about the subject and passionate when she talks . She is funny and makes the class interesting with videos and class demos. She's straight to the point and easy to understand. Multiple choice tests and one essay test. She offers extra credit assignments. Made me love psychology. I would take her again.
Fabulous professor... really knows her stuff! If you read, listen, study, and follow her instruction, you will make a good grade. Turn off your cell phone and pay attention, participate, and don't miss class if you can help it! Love this instructor and learned so very much in her class!
This Professor is pretty good. She has very clear and interesting lectures. She likes participation. She does have a very stern way of presenting herself at times, and she is the NO non-sense type. Read your text, come to class ON TIME (she will point your tardiness out), participate and you will make a good grade.
She's a good teacher. listen to my tips, I've made an A on all my test. She gives the this study guide in the beginning, don't lose it she won't give you another. Study only whats on that paper! She will go over half the chapter, you have to do the rest yourself! You'll have one essay off of this book. It was pretty easy. Take this class it's easy!
This professor is very passionate about her subject and interested in her students learning. She is funny and makes the class interesting with videos, class exercises and examples. She gives multiple choice tests and one essay. There is a study guide for the multiple choice tests and she actually gives students the questions for the essay test.
Enjoyed her lectures. Professor is good, gives extra credit work. She is passionate about what she teaches and gives good examples about the information.
This professor was educating and valuable and inspiring. There is a lot to read but very interesting, the textbook is long so you need time to study, I learned so much and enjoyed the lectures.
Professor Mello, no doubt that the woman is a good professor ; however there is a lot of room for improvement from her. Treat students like high school kids, and she is so inmature when you give out your opinion in class, specially if you say something about the elderly,she takes it to the heart. Very sarcastic; she'll tell you in first day. Ugh!
If you want a good grade in Lifespan, I suggest you take this teacher! She's amazing! The only reason I made a B was because I didn't buy the book, and didn't study. If you get the book, and listen in class, you'll have no problem! Take her, and you won't regret it. But be warned, she is very sarcastic and will call you out if you do something bad.
Weird teacher, nice but gets mad of the smallest things. Tests time are less than they should be because she needs to be somewhere else for her other class. Tests answers are confusing
Shes really easy, gives good explanations. She gives a study guide for all the tests. She even gives you the questions for the essay test before the test. This makes things very easy for an easy A. She's very passionate about psychology.
Dont recommend taking her. She was a sweet lady, but her style of grading was very bad. She made us read a book for an essay test, but we didn't even need to read the book for the test. Alot of the material on the exams were a bit opinion based. Not good on giving instructions either. Stay clear of this one.
I would definitely recommend this class to anyone. She talks alot only b/c she has a passion for psychology. her lessons are straight from the book so if you miss class all you need to do is read the chapter. her notes & reviews are pretty helpful but most exam questions come from the book.
I took this class because a friend recommended this instructor. I really enjoyed her lectures and learned a lot. She gives out a study guide for the textbook tests which is super helpful. We read another book and had an essay test on that book and she gives out the actual questions before that test.
Great class, great professor. I would take her again. She gave us 3 mc tests, 1 essay test, and 1 mc final. Just follow her syllabus, do the readings, study what she tells you and you will pass. She's straight to the point and all all the guidelines are clear but you do need the books to pass.
After reading the reviews on here its pretty obvious that she writes her own reviews. I chose her class last minute since it was the only one available and I really regret it. Paying attention to her lectures are completely pointless since the exams are based from the textbook. I couldnt wait to get this class over with. I recommend not taking her
You have to work in her class, but it isn't any harder than a regular college class. Going over the chapters before class really helps. This class covers a lot and lots of reading. Tests aren't impossible, but they aren't a breeze either. Very interesting lectures. Gives bonus points on random days to students who show up on time Take her!
She gives really hard tests and we have so much to read. The textbook is so long and boring and then we have another book to read. She does give bonus points. Interesting class though
If you expect a easy A don't take her. She is the hardest teacher I have ever had at HCC. She gives too many tests and one is written in class instead of at home.
Very interesting class. Gives good examples for the topics. In this class she gives 4 multiple choice tests and one written assignment. If you study the list in the study guide you can do well. I didn't study much but I focused on that and what she talks a lot about and got a B.
She is the worst professor in HCC. I chose her class last minute since it was the only one available and I really regret it. Paying attention to her lectures are completely pointless since the exams are based from the textbook. She is not good for foreign student. I do not recommend this professor to anyone.
Professor Mello likes to tell stories while going over the powerpoints which really helps in understanding the topics. She drops your lowest test grade, there are lots of extra credit opportunities-she gives extra credit for each test. Pay attention when she's teaching she gives hints on test questions. 4 tests, an essay test, comprehensive final.
She is ok if you are really willing to read. She does not provide resources for reading you have to read the textbook and not even the final exam review. Well she has good lecture but I would say this is not a very easy class.
Shes a really great teacher. She makes class fun and interesting and really gets you thinking about her examples. She comes off as a huge stickler about grades but at the end of the year she bumped my 78 up to a B. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. I would take her again.
Awesome! Very straight forward. As far as textbook goes, if you use it your grade will be a lot better and you can possibly make 100s. Extra credit as well. If you put in a bit of work, you'll see results.
I took her 5 years ago when I was going back to school to become a nurse. I graduated from Texas Womens nursing school, but I still remember this professor. She is the best professor Ive had. She really prepared me for how hard nursing school would be and even taught us APA format because we would use it in nursing school. Would take her again.
I ended up buying the textbook and never used it for the summer semester. I only used launchpad to study. I did not read the book, I read the summaries, did the learning curve sections for each chapter, and matched the vocab a couple times and made As on every test. She offers extra credit at the end and there is one short essay.
I like this professor! All you need to do is answer the questions from the chapter review and use that as a guide for the tests and the final and youll pass the class! Show up for the lectures! Dont go to class if your sick! Her husband has a compromising immune system and she cant risk getting sick! She has a great sense of humor.
You must read the whole book but its better if you learn only what she puts in her slides! She is funny and make the class interesting! Expects participation& to read the chapter before class! Loved her
Very passionate about the subject, if you really want to learn this stuff she is a solid choice. I only took it because it is required for my degree, so if you are like me, stick to online. Received a "B" off of power-point learning, hardly showed up to class and rarely did I open the textbook (maybe once-ish). 4 exams, the final, and a term paper.
She is really funny, expects you to do well in her class, and wants you to pass her class with good grades.
She can be very condescending to students if they do not answer her questions 100% correct. She is an interesting teacher but can be rude and sassy.
Well, she is a good teacher but her tests can be hard. But she does give lots of chances for extra credit. Like the stories
Lots of extra credit is offered. Three test and one final. Class participation is a must. She will call you out for being on your phone, sleeping, or talking too much. She just wants to be respected while lecturing. Good teacher, easy grader.
dont take her.. she is rude
she is nice.. but her test is totally out of syllabus.. dont select this professor and dont buy book. she only read the powerpoint slides.. boring class ever in HCC
Shes a very funny teacher, gives lots of chances for extra credit. I got an A and I really did not study that much for this class. Easy paper. Study what's on the study guide, would take again
Great professor very funny. Would recommend her to anyone. Just attend class, pay attention, do your work, use the study guide, read and you'll pass.
Took Mello for two classes, this professor is very good, very helpful, funny, no-bs attitude, expects you to participate. The material isn't difficult if you work. The study guide is very helpful Unsympathetic if you blow off the class and ask for a higher grade. Does offer extra-credit work.
I really enjoyed taking this class, she can be a bit sarcastic but she is a great teacher and knows what shes doing, i would absolutely take her again!
I took this professor for a required class. At first she was great, started the semester with a positive attitude. After the first exam a few weeks in everything flipped. Though she provides a study guide and encourages questions, she easily gets irritated when a lot of questions are asked. Overall, if you ask questions expect sarcasm or attitude.
She's a very good teacher. She gives study guides for each test. If you follow the study guide youll pass. Good examples that guide you through the class. She isn't necessarily a tough grader, but you do have to earn your grade. Recommend.
This class was like time for nap time for me. I would go in there and man when I tell you if someone paid me 10000$ to not fall asleep I would still fall asleep. Shes BORING but super sweet. I didnt learn anything because shes too sweet and she speaks low. Its like shes singing a lullaby for you to fall asleep !
She is a great teacher. You do have to study because the tests can be difficult. . She is fair with her grading and gives extra credit. If you pay attention, do your work and dont goof off in class, you should do fine. Enjoyed the stories she told in class.
decent teacher, only has a few grades so you better study for the test, she's pretty arrogant and snobby, gets annoyed quickly, her lectures are boring and she makes you pay attention the whole class
Ms. Eileen teaches exactly what is on her tests and is very clear. She is very passionate about her job. Would highly recommend taking her class.
Professor Mello is actually really interesting. She knows her material very well. She's clear about what she expects from you and gives a lot of extra credit . The multiple choice tests can be hard but she gives you a study guide. The written assignment is easy-questions about a story and the answers are in the reading she provides.
