The course was very difficult; but Professor Hendley was always willing, answer my questions after class and through emails. She was always willing to offer help and I appreciated the opportunity that she gave us for extra credit.

I agree with the last entry that she is a really good teacher.

Knowledgeable & willing to help, obviously new to teaching. Not very tactful in handling confrontational situations or questions asked by students. I did well in the class, but was EXTREMELY bored! The previous comment about reading directly from slides was true. Read her notes before class & you won’t miss a thing! Another thing--DON'T be late!

She was awesome professor.Always there when you needed to ask her about projects and very prepared for class. I would recommend taking her

confusing....

She is very personable and makes sure you understand the material. We had a review the week before the exam which proved very helpful. She can also take a joke so class isn't so dry. I loved the class and got a 4.0. Note: She is pretty easy on the eyes...

She has lots of activities with participation in her class. Gave us uncertain information on her requirements for the projects though.

As an Instructor she is very good. She is willing to help you if you are struggling in the class and make you understand the material better. I'm amazed at the people that rated her strictly on her personality and that is completely unfair. She may act "different" at times but she teaches the material effectively which is most important

The rating from 7/3/08 is craziness. This teacher is amazing and she made my fear of 423 disappear. I even had it in an 8 week course. She is clear and cares about if we understand the material or not. The class is not hard, just tedious. She is smart and makes the class fun. I would definately take her.

Professor Hendley is a tough professor, though I believe she wants her students to succeed in the real world. I would recommend her.

Alright, as you all know this is one of the most chllenging classes in the HRD Program so what do you expect when it comes to the workload? Please, don't be surprised when she shows the amount of work required.I completed this class during Spring in 8 weeks with 3.8. Don't complain about the professor when your lack of commitment is the issue.

Every single person who rated this before and said the teacher was terrible is clearly just lazy and probably did bad in the class and is blaming the teacher. She actually is an amazing teacher who goes out of her way to make sure everyone understands. The work is very do-able as well. I got a 4.0 in the summer semester no problem.Love the teacher!

BEST teacher by far. A few things YOU the student should be/do: 1.Be on time 2.Do the work ON time 3.Follow directions and format 4.Put in A LOT of time for assignments. I had HRD310 a long time ago and was worried about doing well. It's a matter of doing the assignments as outlined and doing them ON TIME. It's a 400 level class, work is expected.

Expect to work hard, as the work load is demanding. Professor Hendley is fair and does demand a lot from her students. I appreciate this because I actually learn what I need to know to be prepared in this field. Thanks for everything!!

Melissa is awesome. She's real, young and engaging. Though the workload is a lot, she literally tells you step by step what to do. Just go to class, participate, and its THAT simple. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably didn't do so hot..

Hands down, TERRIFIC. You work hard, you learn A LOT, respect given, gets respect. She knows her stuff, She knows the material. Yeah, she expects it done a certain way = THE BEST WAY. I 4.0 the class by showing up, participating, and asking questions. ITS THAT STUIPD SIMPLE

I wasn't in love with this professor's teaching style, but she did teach me a lot. She knows her material front and back and is very organized. She was always willing to help when needed and enjoyed getting to know her students. One big group project and a Final. If you do your work and study notes, you will pass this class with an A.

Class was not super difficult as we did the large amount of the class in a group. You will need to study for final exam as she wanted to make sure you knew what the concepts were. You have to know what you were doing all semester. I personally did well but also studied for the final and paid attention to the lectures. I definitely learned in this class, but also had to work.

Was always willing to help through e-mails and in class. Helped me a lot with assignments an made it very clear what she wanted throughout. Would definitely recommend her.

GREAT Professor! The best professor at OU. She is tough! She expects you to work. You will work hard but it pays off. If you pay attention, go to class and really put in the effort this class will teach you so much more than any other HRD course.

Don't listen to the negative reviews. If you want to get your money worth out of a class and learn real life applicable material then take 402 and 423 with this professor. Above average workload, fair grading, very clear about what she expects. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a ton of experience in HR. One of my favorite professors at OU.

I just had this professor the other day and I actually asked her about all the awful things on here in front of everyone. She answered my every question with respect. All the bad is not true. She is pretty down to earth and extremely friendly. I have a lot of respect for her now. In fact she just became my favorite professor.

Prof. C. is up-front & honest about expectations. If you work hard, you'll succeed. The only way to fail is to blow off the class. This is a 400-level class & a capstone, so working hard is expected. She is energetic & engaged, & has the real-world experience to back up what she teaches. Excellent instructor.

Pray you have a great group, or be prepared to pick up A LOT of slack. This class is a lot of work, and Prof C is very specific on what she expects. Pay attention and don't be that dummy asking a question she just spent an hour explaining. She tells you what to do to keep you on track, if you don't do it when she says thats on you! She's Amazing!!

Professor Curtis-Hendley is a great professor and knows what she is talking about. I loved the say she taught the material, it made it easier to retain the information. However, the amount of workload in this class is almost unbearable. Expect 60-80 hours of homework (this is not a joke). There is a group project and two huge individual assignments

Professor Hendley wants everyone to succeed. She is not kidding when she says this class will consume all of your time! It a ton of work but its easy busy work. Not a hard class at all just TONS of work. She is extreamly helpful and always available for questions. Follow her feedback and you will pass with an A. Take this class over the summer!!!

I. loved. this. professor. She was knowledgeable. She gives her expectations upfront. Everything you need for assignment direction is either in the syllabus or on Moodle. Yes, there is a big group project and a big individual project. She provides excellent feedback the whole semester. She was a great professor. No need to be frightened. :)

She is absolutely amazing! This class is not HARD, but you cannot procrastinate. You should attend all classes so you do not miss any important information. She makes the learning process so easy, and the class so enjoyable. I wish she taught more classes!

STOP COMPLAINING! I heard awful things but taking her now, she is awesome! Do not be intimidated. As long as you do what she says, you will be fine. Taking it in the summer was the best choice (she makes it a little bit easier). Do not be afraid! she is great, and it is the only HRD class that actually requires work. But no tests or quizzes!

I'm currently in her class right now and while the workload is a lot, you learn so much. She can be strict, welcome to the real world. Absolutely do not procrastinate in this class or be ready to either fail or have a bunch of unnecessary late nights of work. The work isn't hard but extremely tedious. Overall she's one of the best profs I've had.

Professor Curtis is an awesome instructor, instructional designer and mentor. If you actually want a taste of what instructional design is like in the real world, take her class. She gives a lot of assignments for emphasis and understanding. If you're lazy, you will not do well. Instead of complaining, grow up and do your assignments.

It's not an easy pass. Don't miss a lecture or you will regret it. She's enthusiastic and actually likes to hear what the students have to say about a topic. She writes notes on the board while lecturing, I really enjoyed that. She tells it like it is. She wants her students to be successful in class. Don't waste her/your time if you don't try.

Honest and legit conversations. Work load is average. You're provided with handouts for what the assignment requires in detail, if you don't understand then she provides time to help you. She's the real deal when it comes to "real world" expectations. If you are respectful, then she will respect you. Class time is valuable so don't miss it.

4 years into my professional career I was trying to remember what Melissa taught me about instructional design/program evaluation. She knows what she's doing. If you're serious about being a well rounded HR professional, heed her advice especially when it comes to training/program evaluation.

Class was based around a group project, good group good grade. Work load is a little more than average, but nothing that'll drive you insane. She's very loud, bubbly and outgoing. Not the worst professor!

Meh. Not the greatest I have had, but definitely not the worst. If you give a crap, you'll be just fine. I would probably take her again if I had the chance.

She can be very intimidating at first, especially with all the horror stories Ive heard. However, she wasnt that bad. She just really pushes you to your full potential and expects you to do the work and implement everything that shes taught. I liked her. There was a grading curve that saved my behind and Im so grateful to her.

Professor Curtis-Hendley is a good professor when it comes to what she needs to teach you. She explains the content and expectations of each assignment and makes the class fun. Participation and attendance is vital as you are graded on it. Negative qualities wise, she can be rude and come off mean to her students. Just do your work and youll pass.

Professor C is one of the best teachers for instructional methods. If you listen to her you will do good. She will make sure you understand the concept. Definitely Content heavy class, so don't expect to get an easy A. If you work for it, you will pass easy. She is detail oriented. She gives good feedback. Take notes because you will need it.

Awesome teacher, I learned so much from her. Not sure why people are leaving negative feedback, this is one of the best teachers I had at Oakland University so far. Don't expect to come in and do nothing and get an A. You are expected to do your part and she will give you good feedback if you improve, you will 100% pass the class.

Enjoyed Prof. C's class. She cares about her students and obviously wants to see them succeed.
