Very clear during lectures, and doesn't mind slowing down a little or repeating something if you miss it. Tests are difficult if you don't pay attention to lecture. If you take good notes and listen to what she's saying you will do well in her class. Her review sheets are very detailed, and very helpful! I would definatly recommend her!
Professor Mejia is very helpful. If you email her, she responds within 24 hours. Her assignments are interesting and class discussions are fun!
this professor doesn't really have a good grading process she is everywhere with the grades it could be because its her first year she might not be comfortable yet wouldn't recommend her
Took 1301 with her and enjoyed that class. She is clear on the assignments, gives graded work back quickly, fair on grading. Class discussions were fun and assignments were interesting. Loved her class
The best English teacher I've ever had. She is really helpful and clear with assignments. You will receive many guidelines for each paper. I strongly recommend herrrrrrr
she is great professor! take her if english is your second laguage, she is very helpful and kindness, i love her !
Professor Mejia is really great. She knows her stuff but teaches at a pace so that the whole class can follow, and she's great with giving individual attention when it comes to essays. I always knew what she expected and was never lost. The workload is very reasonable, and I highly recommend her.
Ms Melinda is a great and a wonderful teacher. The method that she uses is clear, helpful and understanding. Register early because her class full quickly. I recommend students to register for her class. Ms Melinda is one of the best teacher at HCC. Make sure you do all of her assignments. Yon won't regret that you take her class. best teacher ever
She is very good at her job but gives students lots of assignment. Be prepared to write your essay twice. I would not recommend her if you are not very fluent in English language. She loves research and takes the discussion forum seriously. If you miss the deadline to submit an assignment she would give you a 0 no matter your excuses.
Good professor. Do the work she provides reading responses, exorcises, and first and second draft of essays you should be fine. I missed a few assignments but turned out great! Want to take her for 1302 summer
This teacher is amazing! She makes the class easy to understand everything. Be prepared to do a lot of work. Good luck:) look forward to taking her for 1302
Cool Teacher. Stay on top of your assignments and you will do great. I would have gotten an A but I slacked off and missed some assignments. I'll take her anytime!
Dr.Mejia loves analysis and critical social essays, takes her time to explain the 4th assignments. She is clear for a foreign languages writers. i recommend her classes.
Respond in your mail; helpfulness and easy teacher. Advise Advise anyone to take her class.
Great Professor! I liked her. She is very detailed on what she wants and would give you feedback on your drafts and essays.
I originally took this class during the spring semester, but I had to retake this course during the first 5 week summer session. I must say that she inspired me to write and ignited or maybe reignited my passion for writing. I recommend her and must say that she is one of the best professors I have ever had of taking. Sadly she only does 1301/lit
Great assignments, clear instructions. interesting assignments to read.
Professor Mejia rubbed me the wrong way. But she came around the second day of class. Her discussions where great and interesting. the class being about Mexican literature, i learned so much about the mexican culture and what they stood for. i grown to love and enjoy the class. I got a B but you have to earn it and she is very clear about it.
I took her class and she wa pretty easy! Get prepared to read a lot! I never enjoyed reading but this class made me love reading! She picked out some very interesting books! Her class is fun I recommend her! I got at A
This professor was wonderful. I had some personal problems and was unable to turn in my assignment on time, I explained this to her and she allowed me to turn in my work late. She is swift when responding to emails. There is a lot of work but it is doable.
Professor Mejia is the best when it comes to English, she makes all your lectures interesting. She is very helpful and is willing to help you as soon as possible with any doubts that you have. If you have trouble with English being your second language I totally recommend Professor Mejia. Good luck!
She is direct of what she wants. The first day of class she was a bit intimidating but after that everything was fine. Her lectures are helpful, only sometimes there was not enough time to discuss everything. The books that were chosen were great and the class made me feel at home and ready to learn. Overall it was a great environment.
She's an amazing professor, very passionate in her lectures. She's very helpful, and loves what she does. We are assigned a lot of readings but she is clear from the beginning what is expected from you. She's super funny and a very awesome professor. The assigned readings are very interesting and draw you in. Absolutely loved this class.
she is easily approachable, gives grades more than you deserve, i would like to take the class again.
I took composition I online and she was really helpful! Very clear and to the point, and if you try you will pass! Her assignments really help you grow as a writer! If you take her class online, just be prepared to write, A LOT!! But it really does prepare you for all the writing you're gonna have to do in college!
The class was a blast. There can be, at times, a lot of work- quizzes, tests, a paper and a project due around the same time. But these were all interesting and creative assignments and though not all of them were on time, she worked closely with me, as with anyone else. She gives really fun lectures and prizes and encourages class discussion.
I took Dr. Mejia's English Comp class the previous semester and it really stretched my abilities. Mexican American Literature went above and beyond that. I think most of us did not know what we were capable of. We were engaged, we argued, we had fun. Actual fun. We left with twice as many books as we came in with. It wasn't just another class.
Professor Mejia is the best! She's very clear on what she wants. if you're not sure, shoot her an email, and she'd gladly assist you. You'll be responsible for writing a lot, but it isn't that hard. As long as you have your word count and stay on topic, you should be fine. Readings aren't hard. This class was an easy A! I Want her class again!
I was bery skeptical about taking this course online since I am not the best writer, but Im glad I did. Prefessor Mejia is by far the best English teacher I have had. I took a 5 week course wishing it would go by fast now I am sad its over. If you are looking to improve your writing skills this is the best class to do so in. SHE ROCKS!!!!!!
Dr. Mejia Class was pretty cool. There are a few readings, but they are not that hard. The topics for essays were pretty creative. Loved this class, wish I could have taken it on campus instead.
Take the class only if you can tolerate work after work. She gives you essays and also separate assignments on the side. Too much for a student
Took this class online for ENGL1301 and I passed with an A!. I really liked her teaching methods and she provided very interesting readings( not many btw) . Just do the work ahead of time and you'll be fine. You have 4 major essays to complete but its really simple. Just do the work and turn it in on time and you will pass. Great Professor.
Took her online and got an A. There was a lot of reading and writing, but all the assignments were interesting and helped me grow as a writer. if you don't care, don't take here, because you will have to work hard for your grade. Overall, I loved Dr. Mejia's class. Will def. take her again.
Her class was the first college class I ever took, and it made me comfortable with writing throughout my experience. I took her English 1301 and Literature class and I made an A. Professor Mejia is easy to relate with and will guide you through the development of your drafts. Work, and you will make an A. Best Professor I ever had!!!
Prof Mejia expects a lot of work from you. My biggest problems with the class was a lack of clarity from an organizational standpoint. My peers and I had difficulty understanding which assignments were which. The group project is hastily conducted by the professor because it would be a detriment for students when people in the group dropped out
One of the most legit professors I've ever had at HCC, she is such a great teacher and so helpful. Couldn't ask a better professor because she is so great.
Professor Mejia is an awesome person and an incredibly knowledgable person in general. I took a mandatory class and fell in love with her teaching style so I pursued other courses taught by her. As long as you read (all of which are "easy reads") then you'll surely pass with flying colors. I enjoyed the class very much.
amazing class, incredible discussions and lectures. I looked forward to it every single day. Truly a teacher that will challenge you and help you grow towards new mental heights. Highly reccomended.
There was a lot of reading, but the text was amazing. The lectures grabbed my attention and opened my mind to different perspectives. Professor Mejia not only involves herself in her extensive knowledge of Mexican American culture and Chicano/a studies, but invites you to do the same through the readings assigned.
This class requires a lot of reading, and even when you do not understand what you have read she break it down so simply that you cannot help but learn. I really like this professor, but again be prepared to read, read, read.
Prof. Mejia is one of the best professor for Humanities course. She does assign reading homework but it is pretty easy. The exams are super easy if you thoroughly read the assigned essays. Apart from that she will always willing to help and understand her students need. If you work for an A, you will get an A on her course.
Excellent professor, charismatic, and professional. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Mejia is a great instructor. I took her for English 1301 in an accelerated summer semester and thought her class was amazing. She only had us read a couple articles and write 3 essays. She was great at providing constructive feedback on the essays.
Professor Mejia loves to teach about the Humanities. Nice professor but personally to me she talked way too much. She would talk about another topic but she didn't make you participate if you didn't want to so that I didn't mind. Read all the readings for the quizzes and you should be fine.
This professor is one of the best I've had I don't even like English but she made me love it
She is a very good professor. I actually learn a lot in class. She is a very nice and grade it very linear. Do your work on time; you will get a easy A in this class.
Dr. Melinda Mejia is the best teacher I have ever seen in English she is so great, very helpful, easy to reach and like her students to pass. I really enjoyed having her as my teacher, she is such a sweet heart!!! Don't hesitate to take her class if you want to pass, just turn in your assignments on time, then everything will be positive.
Great!
She's passionate about her work and extremely engaging. I would highly recommend!
Dr. Mejia is a very clear professor . Her class is very straight forward as long as you read the books that she assigns you to read and show up to class and you should be okay. Her class isn't easy but if you get the work done it's a reachable A. She gives a few quizzes and reading "summaries" as well as a group presentation and 2 tests .
Best professor ever. She is clear from the beginning, so you always know what to expect. There is a lot of reading for the class, but you have more than enough time for it. As long as you do all the required work and attend the class, you should be good. She also gives multiple extra credit opportunities and great feedback.
This is not a simple multiple choice/ answer is in the textbook type class. This is a reading class, that wants paperwork turned in weekly like an advanced English professor class. I earned an A in this class, however I do feel like she needs to stay in her lane and stop trying to apply English professor standards in an humanities class.
Dr. Mejía is amazing. Lots of reading, but they're easy & fun to read, also make sure you buy the novels at the bookstore right away since they are hard to get a hold of. Highly recommend this class, read the novels and you'll be ok!
I loved Dr. Mejia's Humanities class. I took it during the summer and got an A. She is a great lecturer with interesting topics. Get the books and read them, do the assignments, and you'll do well. We did a fun project at the end of the semester. A tiny bit of group work involved. Would take her again.
Get side track easily-- I hate ENGL but managed to get an A - lots of writing (4 papers plus extra credit and group project. no test or finals.. just reading and writing - she gives really god feedback on your writings as well.
the only people that are given her good rating are Goth seriously, don't get me wrong personality wise she is cool. however as a professor I believe she tries to her to be accepted.
Professor Mejia is very straight forward and clear on her instructions. As long as you read the material and express your knowledge in your writing, you will do great!!
From the beginning Professor Mejia let's you know what's expected in the course. If you want to pass you MUST READ the books she assigns, everything is based off the books. You'll have short quizzes or reading notes, group project, term paper, midterm and final. Awesome professor!
Takes forever to post grade. I wouldn't recommend her if you want an easy A.
Dr Melinda Mejia is a great professor and gives very useful feedback. I would take her again without question. Fair and respectful.
She's a nice professor overall BUT she gives too many reading assignments in a short period of time. I wouldn't recommend taking her.
Dr. M gives good feedback on how to improve on your Essays . she responds emails on time .
Very straight forward with her expectations. Great feedback with our essays. Very approachable and responds to emails. Fun class with interesting topics. My advice: Stay off your phone when she or another student is speaking. Show up, do the work, and ask questions if you cant find the answer in the syllabus/outline that she passes out. Too easy:)
I just completed a winter mini-mester with her. The expectations and guidelines were clearly explained. She responds to emails and essays promptly.
The best class I have taken. Her instructions are clear and to the point. Very easy class
Dr. M is the absolute best professor at HCC! She is clear on her expectations, grades fairly, and keeps the class interesting. I took her for a 3 hour Friday class, but the time flew by. Her lectures are interesting and thought provoking. Reading is mandatory for success in her class, but the material is interesting. Take her, you won't regret it!!
What an Phonemail woman Dr. Mejia is. She is a very compassionate and caring professor. I have not experienced a teacher that cares as much as she does for the success of her students. She offers plenty of extra credit assignments so her class is pretty much fail proof. Read the readings, show up, and participate. This was an enjoyable class!
Follow the instructions and you'll have no problem. She gives excellent feedback and responds quickly.
This the really bad a choice that I made. Dr. Melinda is a thought grader with a lot of reading and homework. she never done her work at the time but spectating you to do it on the right time. she does not care if you have situation. am an A student and I id my best but still having 0 in her class. the quizzes are limited in 10 min max. run away !!
Dr. Mejia is an awesome professor! She is caring and funny. I really enjoyed her class. She is very clear on what to expect in her class and on the assignment's. Participation matters. Put in the effort and work and you will do fine.
Dr Melinda Mejia would drop your grade at last minute she changed my grade. It was 2 days before the class end and I noticed my grade dropped from a 93 to a 87.8 which I ended up with a B I did not miss any Assignment or nothing I asked her why but her reasons was ridiculous and was not adding up like why would you change someone hard earned grade!
I took Mexican American Literature online with Professor Mejia and she was just about the best! The readings within the five week course were fairly short and very interesting. Please purchase and read the required material because all tests and quizzes come straight from them! Quizzes are timed under 10 min, so you need to know your information.
Took her for English Composition 1 online. The instructions and rules were very clear. When applying all the instructions to the assignments and essays (3 in total), an A is pretty much guaranteed.
I absolutely loved this teacher she was so helpful. Be ready to read and write. No slacking off online classes are not for the lazy people. Stay on top of your assignments and you will pass. Easy A.
Lots of reading but super interesting
Solid choice as a professor. Happy to be a student of hers.
Mexican-American Literature taught by Dr. Mejia was immensely interesting and informative! She has a way of detangling the confusing parts of the literature assigned, particularly, in a very humorous fashion. The topics in the course are both central to Mexican-Americans as well as relateable to any race or ethnicity.
she is a good professor. just present your assignments on time and you should be fine. reach carefully her syllabus. you will find specific instructions. she might take some points of from your work if you don't follow her specifications.
Dr. Melinda Mejia is a fantastic professor for HUMA 1305. She used interesting books, not a textbook. Follow the syllabus! It takes participation and work to earn an A but I promise you she makes the class enjoyable and encourages creativity. You will get a profound understanding of the history and culture. She made it fun! TAKE HER CLASS!
Shes is a good teacher, the key to pass her class is to do the readings assigned. If you dont have time make sure you at least look at sparknotes for a summary of the book or essay. I was taking this class on Friday so we had a quiz(simple one) every Friday. The midterm is probably the toughest part of the course but again if you do the readings
She is great. Take her!
A really great professor, she gave very informative and interesting lectures (doesn't just read off of a PowerPoint), very clear on how things will be graded, responds to emails fast, was never late(once or twice by a few minutes), she is a very very hard-working professor, and clearly spends a lot of time reading our essays. Overall amazing prof!
she is amazing! She gives useful feedback. I took her for an online class & she explained everything clearly. We didn't have to purchase a textbook for this class. She does make you work for your grade, so be prepared to write. She does not change her due dates last min. She gave us an opportunity to earn extra credit.
worst ������
She should stick to being an English professor honestly. Her HUMA 1305 summer class was disorganized. Made us read a whole book for ONE assignment, her quizzes of 5 questions are 10 minutes timed! She's not considerate that it is a 5-week course and grades tough, I mean everything is rushed so consider that! Horrible! ):
Professor Mejia is amazing! She offers extra credit on essays. She doesnt take any late work except final drafts of essays. She gives good feedback and answers emails quick. She is also available to do one on one conference calls if you are struggling. There are 4 essays, discussions, and quizzes. Be ready to read, it is an English course.
Very happy with Professor Mejia. Would take a course with here again.
Dr.M is a great teacher! Shes super sweet and very understanding. Their are readings and their is usually about a week for assignment to be due. Theirs usually a test every Monday based on our readings and are 7 questions max but are super easy. Their is one group project and a creative portfolio which was fun to make. Take her youll love her!
She's very nice, and her grading criteria are precise. She gives great feedback for her essays that she assigns and even drops your 2 lowest grades. She is the best teacher to take for 1301 English!
Excellent professor! Responded to emails promptly and explained things if you didnt understand them.
Professor Mejia is one amazing teacher. She's very patient with you and gives you great feedback in terms of work. You can tell that she cares for each and every student in her class. Though you will HAVE to show up for her lectures because sometimes she'll assign work during them and you will miss out on easy 100s. Lots of ez quizes.
Amazing professor, you can tell she genuinely cares for her student's academic success. The syllabus is very straightforward and the deadlines are not flexible unless stated otherwise. Overall, the best course and teacher I've had at HCC and will mention that there is a good amount of reading to be done in this class. Quizzes are short but timed.
One of the best professors at HCC. Put the work in and the dedication. Easy A!
There is a quiz due before the start of most classes but are extremely easy if you (at the very least) watch a crash course on the reading. Extra credit is given more often than expected. She creates an uplifting environment in her lectures. Doctor Mejia is one of the most understanding, kind hearted and most appealing to the youth.
Melinda Mejia is a very caring and helpful professor, best professor i've taken at hcc so far.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER! SHE GIVES SOO MUCH HOMEWORK AND A GROUP PROJECT THATS NOT EVEN NEEDED. SHE EXPECTS YOU TO DO 3 CREATIVE ASSIGNGMENTS LIKE TIKTOK,CORRIDO SONG ETC SHE LITERALLY DOES THE MOST. IF YOU WORK FULL TIME AND DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS PLEASE DONT TAKE HER SHE IS RIDICULOUS
If you want an updated review of this summer course I suggest you keep reading. As a summer class the work load is extremally heavy. There is ALOT of reading and the assignments usually are a minimum of 8 sentences. She makes you buy a book for one assignment. There is a group project which would be extremally difficult if you don't have cooperativ
(con) Her final exam (there is a final exam apart from the group project) is very hard, there are two essays of a minimum of 16 sentences. Overall the concept of this class is very interesting, I personally got a bit disinterested after how close the due dates and lengthy the assignments were. Good luck if you take her, and have work/other classes.
Learned about Mexican American history, art, and literature. She uses videos and readings and some recorded power point lectures. I feel much prouder about my heritage and my experiences after this course. Quizzes are easy. Other assignments are a little time consuming but not too much. Loved that you could do your own creative responses.
She was so understanding of my speech issues. Her feedback made me feel validated as a student and encouraged me to keep going. Her class is super stressful because of the work, but it was an easy A. The final was simple too. All quizzes are open book and she gives 3 or 4 extra credit opportunities. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE
Plenty of reading if you're not into that might not get an A but the material is not hard, read the modules and the quizzes are straightforward. plenty of open-ended questions and free responses. ms.Mejia is responsive and takes the time to read your work be genuine in your work. Excellent class I really learned some valuable stuff in this class!
She seems to be caring about the subject. I would say she has not been teaching long or at least not this class. A good combination of reading, videos and podcast. DO NOT wait the last hour to do your assignments. The questions are # as 3 but nope, they are questions in questions. The work is easy, time consuming. The quizzes are timed. Stressful!
Professor Mejia cared for every student in the room. She will never fail you as long as you participate. The entire class had many opportunities to interact with each other and it was honestly a good time. The readings are easy but plentiful. The assignments are structured the same so you know what to expect each week.
I love Ms. Mejia, I had a great relationship w her + she's outgoing, friendly. Her best quality is that she's v supportive of her students. She helped me brainstorm + revise my essays + gave v useful feedback. We had several class discussions that were interesting + fun. The class is quite average in difficulty level. Hmwrk was all well organized.
Ms. Mejia is a good teacher. She really gives a lot of feedback and tries to help out as much as she can. For the first few weeks she had a consistent schedule and you knew what to expect. She became a bit disorganized towards the end of the semester and piled assignments together and changed due dates. She is very understanding of her students.
Ms. Mejia is a fantastic teacher who is friendly and supportive of her students. Her best quality is her willingness to help students with brainstorming, revising essays, and giving valuable feedback.
Not an ideal class if you work full time. Lots of reading and I mean lots. She made us read a whole book(300+ pages) just to answer about 14 total. She constantly assigned huge amount of reading just to answer less than 10 questions on a quiz. The reading response were even worse. She has a sentence requirement and you had to answer 3-4 prompts.
Dr. Mejia is a great person! She is very understanding and tries her best to accommodate her students in order for them to succeed. Although her class does require a couple long readings trust me when i say it's very simple work. This is a great class to be involved in discussions, she allows us to discuss the readings at the beginning of class.
Dr. Mejia is such a passionate person, I loved her class. There is def a lot of reading, but honestly if you skim through it, and have a general idea about the readings you'll do just fine. Quizzes are straightforward, she reviews before the exam which is extremely helpful. Probably one of the best profs I've had
Dr. Mejia is a great professor who makes the course engaging. While there's a lot of reading, the quizzes are straightforward. The final can be challenging, but extra credit opportunities help. Unstuck AI is a handy tool to supplement studying.
Constant reading, weekly work, 2 essays, 3 creative projects, a live presentation, tests. Grades more on grammar than content, assumes well-written papers are AI, she punishes good writers. Nitpicky and inconsistent correct super minor errors than engaging with ideas. The workload overshadows the material, the reading is super excessive, no payoff!
Great professor! Lots of work and reading but she's an easy grader. Took her for a 5 week class in summer and really enjoyed it
This class is easy if you just follow the instructions which go week by week. There is some reading, lectures and notetaking but it is not overwhelming, and is just enough to make you feel accomplished and like youre actually learning. The professor is very responsive and just ask for honesty, not ChatGPT lol.
DO NOT TAKE HER! She's EXTREMELY DISORGANIZED! And unless you want to email her every week when assignment/lectures will be available then go for it. The assignment might be posted 3 days before it's due also late grading. Final hasn't been posted Dec 11 and she wants it in two parts 50 min on each. Plus she was absent more than half the semester.
