Calculus is a pretty hard class no matter what teacher. she explains things in different ways a lot of the time that you would never learn in other classes that make math SO much easier! If you don't know basic trig or algebra you will struggle if you don't brush up. She is always willing to help students during office hours. taking her for calc 2

She usually spends time going through the homework if you have question about them, which I think is useful as I learn more and get to know the materials better. She teaches kinda quick sometimes but she explain how to come up with the formulas that helps you truly understand the materials ,not by studying by heart tons of formulars

Ms. Hope is extremely my favorite teacher. She explains well in class despite her fast style teaching. Quiz and Exam are mostly came from homework, so be prepared. Ms. Hope is a generous teacher. She will give you some credits for wrong answer. I also like how she interacted with her students in her class.

Melissa is a cordial teacher. Despite of her swift teaching pace, she explains things clearly. The class is not boring. Melissa illustrates things pretty well. Really thankful to have her as my Calculus 2 teacher. Don't forget to show up during her office hours!

Her math class is excellent. Her examples in the class is good for you to understand why to do so rather than reciting formulas. Homework is a kind of hard, but she can always help if you need. As long as you know how to get homework done, quiz will become much easier. In sum, the key to learn well in her class is to work on homework carefully

An experienced and competent teacher. Attentive and responsive if you're lost, generally clear the first time. Melissa Hope seems almost too generous with her time, addressing student confusion and concerns. Also, her math analogies are adorable. Literally all of them. She could wax rhapsodic about numbers in a moleskein and sell it at mall kiosks.

She always gives you help with anything you need, and she has tons of different resources posted to wamap. She really looks out for you and gets to know you, too. Once, I forgot to do my homework, and she emailed me to make sure I was okay.

Calculus online? Eek! It was fine; Melissa was great. Responds w/i 24 hrs. Do your homework early. Post pictures of your work if you need help. She's responsive, but has her own life too. Go in to campus if you are confused. Prepare to dedicate 20-30 hours a wk to homework and be sure that you are SOLID in your algebra basics.

Best Math teacher in EdCC.. he used flipped classroom method in our Class. We had quizzes every week. If you can spend time for study about 2-3 hours per day.. then you'll be good

Melissa was great. She explains things well and encourages us to understand so we don't have to memorize things. The best part was that even though this was an onsite class, she's online throughout the week answering questions on the homework forums. I was able to get help from her every time I needed it.

I think she's amazing. She was always there whenever I needed help, replied within 5 hours or less most of the time. I hated math but after studying I've understood the core of it. I took precalculus 144 wit her. Although I only scored 2.5, she motivated me when I myself left hope of passing. A strict grader, but that's what made me work harder.

Melissa is a very good teacher on a very tough subject, she is willing to take the time to make sure you understand the concept behind the math and cares that you learn too.

Thank you for everything

Great class, pretty hard course though to be expected from math. However, because you do most of your homework online you don't really need to show up to class. You will likely use WAmap to do quizzes and homework, be prepared for about 6 hours of work a week.

I love to take her class. She's really kind. One time, I was late for the test, but she still gave me more time to do it.

Had her for Math141 onsite, Math142 online, getting ready to take her Math151 class. She's the best teacher for my type of learning, Math concepts (so far) have come to me pretty naturally, but I've always been much too lazy about homework. her near daily assignments helped me do my homework often rather than all at once and I can study alone.

Melissa is one of the best teachers I have ever had in Edcc. She explains in a way that you can understand quickly. She doesn't like giving formulas and I knew some people dislike it that way. Her exams are reasonable as long as you finish all the assignments and class activities. I would take her class whenever she gives lectures.

I've had Melissa for 4 classes (in her calc2 now). There is a lot of homework thru WAMAP, which I find great as someone who has trouble making myself study stuff if it isn't graded. Seems like she's on WAMAP helping her students every minute she isn't in the classroom. Really great at helping you understand. I definitely recommend taking her!

The entire course was absolutely fine. The homework was a bit much, but it wasn't hard to handle. Everything was good until the final where she put multiple questions on it to which I didn't understand how to solve. I practiced with over 120 problems before the exam and I still didn't understand how or why she put those problems on the test.

Melissa is a great teacher. She has very creative teaching strategies. Tests are not hard because she gives you example tests from previous years to review and buch of homework to practce. But online are sometimes hard and there is 2 hour limit. But at the end of the year you learn a lot of new knowledge.

She is a great teacher. Her teaching style is great but maybe not for everyone. Half of the class time is to work in a group to workout problems thats related to the previous video assignments on wamap. If you are good at understanding video lectures, Mellisa is a perfect choice for you and her teaching style can be extremely effective.

i was in her online math 141 and math 142 courses, which Ive heard are pretty much identical to the on-site courses, the only major differences being you dont have to show up every day and you can get to decide when you take tests. I had a great experience and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I loved this class and Im sad its over.

Melissa's a sweet person & probably the most diligent instructor I've seen. She DOES expect you to work hard if you want a good grade. Homework assignments are due almost everyday (5 days/week usually). Expect to study for many hours if you want that A. Many of her assignments require elaborate work to be shown & she is thorough. Overall, good.

She is probably the most talented teacher I know. She does give a lot of HW, but in math you wont pass without practice. Very reasonable grading, and she goes out of her way to help and answer questions. Quiz once a week, and hw everyday. Is one of those teachers who wants you to understand and not memorize, which I respect and appreciate.

Prof. Hope is a great teacher. She gives lots of feedback and I recommend the WAMAP for learning online math. It is set up well and there aren't proctored tests. Melissa was always quick to email back and help with problems. The only problem is that she is a really tough grader and there is a ton of homework. Expect homework everyday.

A lot of people don't like the way Melissa teaches but I think she's one of the best professors for math at Edmonds. Most professors give incredibly easy homework and then put really hard questions on the quizzes and tests. Melissa is the opposite. Usually, your final grades will be decided by tests, so that's why I recommend Melissa. She's fair.

A great teacher to get for Math 151. There are forums to use to get help from her and from other students. She teachers really well and each day she shows tricks on how to memorize a concept and/or what to do in a problem. When getting help from forums, she shows the answer easily and step by step to solve the problem! Great teacher indeed!

I have taken two of her math classes because I like the way she helps students. When you have a math question, she will inspire you first. If you still can't solve it, then she will tell you the detailed solution. I also like the amount of homework, which gave me a solid knowledge. If you want a solid knowledge, I suggest you take her class.

Other reviews are harsh--yes, there's work every day, but I've taken 3 of her courses now and was usually done within an hour or two. Homework and quizzes match lecture content exactly, and if you're stuck, just post on the forum and wait for a classmate or Melissa to help. I always thought I was bad at math until I took her--the work is worth it!

I like Miss Hope cuz she puts the hard questions on the HW to practice but the easy ones on the exam instead of the opposite way like other teachers do. Which I also like the lecture is straight forward, she does not ask you to memorizing but understanding. Math 011 which is supported class, she just adjust the volume of HW which is MUCH nicer.

Professor Hope is a great teacher who takes the time to ensure that every student understands the material. She gives weekly quizzes and helpful homework and in-class work, which prepares students well for exams, which aren't overly difficult. Students who put in regular effort and avoid procrastination will be able to pass the course with ease.

Took this class fall quarter 2022, and it was one of my best math class experiences I've ever had. She explains stuff in a very visual way, which made it way easier for me to understand. I wish she were teaching MATH142 this quarter so I could have continued the series with her.

She gives hard homework, but the lessons delivery is amazing and very fair in terms of grading. Got really bad grade in mid term and she was willing to take my finals grade as my mid term.

Melissa is one of the best Math teachers I've had so far at Edmonds College. Her teaching style is enjoyable and she makes sure to check on each student during in-class activities so no one comes out of class without learning anything. She gives on average, 1 homework and 1 video assignment per 2 days which is pretty normal for a calculus class.

I just finished this class with Melissa and she is clearly THE BEST TEACHER I've ever met. Her lectures are very fun and cool. We get to do assignments in groups and she goes around and check us. She is ALWAYS AVAILABLE and she replys to your questions very fast. She is also very nice and caring. Best thing about this class: Attendance is required!

took her online course for calc 2. make sure to do homework EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, even when it's not due, and many assignments are long so you should take a look beforehand she very clearly cares about her students' success---she consistently replies to student forums very often and quickly with step-by-step guidance. but most of it is self-learning

I took Professor Melisa's Math 152 class three times online. She's the most dedicated teacher I've ever had. Always replies fast and helps beyond office hours. I failed twice but never felt discouraged. She supported me and helped me improve. Don't take her class online—take it in person. She truly cares and wants you to succeed.
