i think she is smart, beautiful, good looking, well qualified, gorgeous, and attractive.
I will say something about her besides how she looks: she is the most interesting teacher I have ever had. She made the material more interesting than it already was to me. She has a passion for the subject and loves to teach it, which in my mind always makes the best teacher.
Good-After visiting multiple classes, I can say her teaching style is highly adaptive. She is enthusiastic about the material w/out being unstructured. Very open to new ideas/discussions. Good w/ helping individual students! You can tell that she loves teaching - in my opinion she will go quite far!
she is really nice! I am glad to take her class last semester.If a student have a problem, she will help a lot.Her class is also interesting. I coud get the wider way of thinking from her class. She is kind and enthusiastic!!
Other than her obvious physical appeal, she teaches directly from the book, doesn't stray unless inspired by class interaction. Fun, young, and overall interesting person. Even a crappy winter session is enjoyable with her! I reccommend her for inner-session & semester!
Melody is a GREAT teacher. She agreed to add me to her class halfway through the semester because of a problem I was having with another teacher. I find it easy to follow her lectures and she's very well educated in her subject. Highly recommended.
Melody is the best teacher at Butte! She is so friendly, and funny. She is absolutely with out a doubt one of the best teachers I have ever had. I highly recommend her. She really really made the class very interesting. Don't take ANTH 4 from anyone else except Melody Yeager!
She's Awsome. She tells you everything that's going to be on the test, she makes sure you understand everything, she loves her job and her students. She's got a great personality as well. She's the best professor i've ever had.
Melody is an awesome professor- she's fun to listen to and very much a real person. Honestly, I hardly did the reading, but I paid attention in class. Just be careful, because she'll purposely cover test material if nobody shows up.
Such a good teacher never wanted to take another Anth class after gingerich. hes sux but she is definately a good addition to butte. Everyday is a good day in her class. teaches really well and definately has a passion for what she does. id have to say it rubs off on the students.
Melody is so awesome! She looks for only the positive in life and that is really awesome when the world is filled with so many negatives! If you want to have fun in college take mel!! Shes a sweetie pie! fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun!!!
The best teacher ever. She's very clear and gets you interested in the subject whether you like it or not - but in a good way. Always well prepared and very enthusiastic about anthropology. You'll love this class!
Best class at Butte. She teaches a fun class to be in. Test are easy if you pay attention.

great teacher!helpful and friendly. if you dont pass...wow, you should go back to high school or something.
She is such a wonderful teacher, and it is obvious to her students that she loves what she does. Because she loves what she teaches, she inspires the students to become interested in the subject. She is very helpful and easy to contact if you have any questions. Take her class, you won't regret it!!!

bad ass teacher, and pretty fine at that
Good teacher, one of the best at butte. you learn a lot in the class but in a way it makes it easy to learn, very cool. her tests are a breeze. She is also very hot; I wouldn't mind staying after class with her!
Melody is the best!
Take Her Class. One of the best Teachers at Butte!
Melody is a fantastic teacher. she lectures quite a bit but she definately keeps you interested. if you pay attention to her durning class there is no need to study for the tests. she is a delightful person to be around. if you want a class you enjoy going to every morning this would be the one!
Great Communication and easy to work with.
Mel is outstanding. I would totally recommed her. She is clear and splits things up with interesting videos. She is laid back and is more than happy to help or give advice. After attending this class I have been really interested in the subject. If you take Anth. get Mel!
A+ teacher. She's sweet, nice and super cool. I Learned so much and with no stress because of her. I have never received such good feedback on my paper from any other teacher. I just love her. I hope she get promoted to head of the department. Awesome.
she is an amazing teacher! Her lectures are well organized and easy to follow. If you are having trouble w anything she is more than happy to help u. i wish all my teachers were like her!
I'm in graduate school now, but looking back on my time at Butte College, Melody was the best professor that I had.
Well, what can I say. i first walked in her class looked at her and thougt 'SUPER HOT". Then she started teaching, and after about a week or two I thought "super intellegent" seriously, she is a good teacher. I have alot of respect for her, and has always been really nice to me, and taught a sometimes bland subject and made it apealing.
****, she is da bomb... great teacher, she knows her stuff.... very pleasing.. take her for the A
Melody was very cool with every lecture and assignment. She's smart, funny, and drop dead gorgeous. I would go back and take the class again if I had to.
very detailed organized and entertaining. lecture notes through PowerPoint and tests are multichoice scantrons. schedule and study guides are given.overall easy class.
She's a cool person, funny. Easy class. Straight up powerpoint notetaking. A few movies. 3 short papers (2-3 pages!) Easy tests. It's hard not to get an A. And she's fine, what more could you want.
She is fantastic! I recommend her to everyone- She's really nice, helpful, funny, and really pretty. You'll pass this class easy- just take notes, pay attention to the study guide, and write your papers. Not much to it.
Have taken 2 of her classes and planning on the third. AMAZING teacher. Can not express how good she is at what she does. Book is not needed at all. Everything from notes. Notes are presented amazingly, and she makes it INTERESTING. Easy Easy easy, but you will LEARN a lot. If attendance stays high, she gives very thorough study guides. 2 easy pprs
very easy teacher. very good at what she does go to class take notes and the test will be a simple A. she is also fine. you write 2 easy papers and take like 3 tests. super easy and fun class.
very easy teacher. very good at what she does go to class take notes and the test will be a simple A. she is also fine. you write 2 easy papers and take like 3 tests. super easy and fun class.
I took two of her classes and wasnt interested in this subject at all until I sat through her lectures...! she is an amazing teacher and has a way of teaching that engages everyone. She doesnt take attendance and still the class is filled everyday!
Fucking awesome teacher. Really hot and GREAT communicator. If i could take her class every semester Id do it.
I started not knowing what anthropology was, 3 semesters later I'm Majoring in it. She inspired me to take on this Major. Great teacher, and great person. Take her class.
She's hot and smart! I found it sometimes difficult to scribble notes off powerpoint and listen to lecture at the same time. But overall this class was really great. Melody is a spunky energetic teacher, although I think she drinks too much coffee in the am, whearas I don't. I would take her again in a split second! A+
I am currently taking Anthropoly 2 with Melody and I believe she is the best professor I have had while at Butte College. She is very passionate about what she is teaching and extremely knowledgeable. I have become very interested in anthropology because of her. Overall she is a great professor.
I absolutely loved melody! This class is very interesting and if you show up, pay attention, and take notes its an easy A. Above all she makes class interesting and fun, I would definitely recommend her for anyone!
Melody is an amazing teacher. She is FULL of knowledge and is very passionate about her job. She has a great sense of humor and works with you. Shes very nice but also is a no nonsense type of gal. Work load is easy and test are pretty easy (but you DO have to study). Im a Christian but never felt uncomfortable during the evolution bit..
Melody was awesome! I took her class once and immediately wanted to learn more about Anthropology. She's extremely clear when discussing topics and is very open to hear what you have to say about the material. I was able to understand and retain everything she told me, and i would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone else!
easy teacher.
She really knows what she's talking about ;however, she was a bit forgetful,and a little moody.But I'v heard she's usually a great teacher.
She is great!
She is good. It was an easy A.
definitely my favorite teacher at Butte so far! she makes the class really interesting and it's probably one of the few classes I really look forward to attending.
One of the best instructors at Butte! If you have to take anth2, do yourself a favor and make sure you get Melody so you don't get stuck with an old retired anthropologist who doesn't know how to teach. Melody utilizes a thing called modern technology and actually knows how to engage students from diverse learning styles.
Yeager is wonderful! Great Sense of humor. She explains and presents her material very well and is great with engaging the class and answering questions.
the BEST anthropology teacher at butte. she made the class interesting, the discussions were great, and the lectures were far from boring. super nice and super cool
i loved melody. she is my favorite teacher ive had so far. shes incredibly nice and shes got a good sense of humor. shes very helpful, easy class. she definitely keeps the class interested, i considered majoring in anthropology because of her :)
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!! Yeager rocks in a serious way. She love love LOVES anthropology and is just amped to teach the subject. You won't be able to sit back and not participate; she just wills the participation from you with her enthusiasm.
Loved her, so sweet, and flexible. One of the best teachers at UC Butte
Awesome teacher. Very interested during lectures and it shows. Tests, labs, and writing assignments are really easy. Show up to labs and tests and you will get an A. No textbook needed. Favorite teacher at Butte so far.
She was absolutely FANTASTIC! Everything was very understandable, and th class was extremely interesting and entertaining. I HIGHLY recommend her!
Amazing teacher, I walked into this class thinking I was going to be bored all semester long, however Melody is energetic and interesting. She is easy to follow and is very flexible. I definitely would recommend her class.
LOVED her! she is a really good teacher! I didn't know what is was getting into with Cultural Anthropology but she made the class enjoyable. I recommend her to anyone that has to take Anth4!!!
She is my absolute favorite teacher at Butte. Loved her class, she was so energetic and made the class fun.
Melody is an absolute delight, the first class of the morning is always a difficult one but that was never the case with her. Attending her class is an absolute treat. She's a wonderful communicator, and has a way of cultivating a genuine interest in Anthropology with her students. I wish she taught all of my classes!
She's a fun professor! She made the lectures interesting and understands that we are busy students (hardly ever any homework)! Taking notes is important to help answer her study guides for midterms and finals. I would absolutely recommend taking one of her classes. It's an easy class that gives you different perspective of people in the world.
Melody is awesome! She is really helpful and understanding. Not too many assignments. Uses study guides and if there is good attendance she will go over the whole study guide in class. Uses power points for lecture. It's important to show up because if you miss a couple days you can get lost. She's really a great teacher!
By far the best professor I have had in all 4 years of my college career. She is such a sweetheart, and she really cares about her students and their success. If she taught more anthropology classes, I would take every single one with her. Her classes are also super easy to pass. Highly recommend!!
Makes class really fun and interesting!
Amazing teacher. Her class is very fun and I learn interesting fun things each time. We can always ask questions and put in input all throughout lectures.
Are you tired of boring Anthropology teachers? Are you fed up with Anthropology teachers that that yearn to be doing something other than teaching your class? Are you unsure of what Anthropology is? Then take all the effing classes offered by Melody Yeager. Know the def of Anth, what relativism is, and that we didn't ride dinosaurs at any point.
my best teacher to date. straight forward, no surprises. come to class take notes and get a good grade. i can not say enough good about this teacher. i have had many bad teachers it was nice to get a good one that appears to care about the students.
Melody is by far one of my favorite teachers at ever at Butte! You can tell she's passionate about anthropology and teaching. Her lectures are easy to follow and simple, what she has on the board is what will be on the tests. If you need to take an anthropology class be sure to get in hers!
Melody is AMAZING! She really cares about how her students feel and does everything she can to help you pass. Her lectures are clear and to the point; she does a great job answering student's questions and is extremely kind. She tries to use some humor to keep class light because some of the material can be dense. Definitely recommend her!
Melody is the best! Lectures are super easy to follow and she makes them fun. Make sure to turn in all quick writes and show up for lab days, they're worth 50-100 points so missing 1 qill hurt your grade. Tests are super easy, questions straight from the powerpoints, and if you show up for the review class you'll pass with an A no problem.
Favorite teacher at butte so far
Melody made anthropology enjoyable. Her lectures are clear and informative and very easy to follow.
Melody is definitely in my top 5 professor that I have ever had. She is the sweetest person ever and I absolutely loved her class! She made Anthro so fun! Her class consisted of a few quick writes (easy points), 3 tests, and a few fun labs. I can't wait to take another one of her classes in the Spring! Take her!!!
Melody is very sweet and caring. She is clear in her grading criteria and requirements, which are VERY reasonable. She offers a ton of extra credit, and does a thorough review of every test the class before.
Melody is very caring and does her best to help her students learn the material. She is very clear in her grading, and offers plenty of extra credit. She does presentations which the students record, and makes sure we understand it. She also does a very thorough Test review before the test. I highly recommend taking her classes.
Melody is okay, she can be really nice but sometimes she comes into class with these terrible moods and takes it out on the class and gets irritable really easily. Her lectures are too much of the same thing over and over again, you usually just sit there looking at the powerpoint all class and take a million notes. Not my learning style.
This was my second attempt for ANTH 2, and my experience was completely opposite of my first attempt. She was very straightforward about how her class was going to go. doesn't expect you to get a book, and teaches you the class off of her lecture slides which she has put together after talking to her colleagues at Chico State. Very fun class!
Melody is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher. This was the 2nd class I've taken of hers and I loved both. She's very passionate about her subject and is flexible with students needs. Her classes are taught primarily through lecture but she often will post the power points online later in case you miss a day. The textbook isn't needed.
Ever have a teacher that actually enjoys their job and what theyre teaching? Melody is one of them. Shes passionate about Anthropology and is a super caring person. Im so happy to have been able to take her class and am happy she teaches at Chico state too. I recommend her to everyone. Super fun and interesting class, lots of extra credit ops.
Melody is a great professor. This was my first Anthro class that I have taken and loved every minute of it. She makes the class fun, is very personable, and caring. Show up to every class because you move through sections quickly. missing one class can have you hunting for the info you missed and her tests are what are on her powerpoint.
Melody is amazing. I wish she was my mom lol. She makes anthropology make sense and not boring. Shes very sweet and always in such a great mood but will call people out if theyre being distracting. She wants everyone to pass and gives great extra credit opportunities.
I absolutely love Melody! She's an amazing teacher who is very passionate about Anthropology. Her class is pretty easy but you need to pay attention to the lectures and take lots of notes because the test are all about them. The lectures are very interesting though so its not bad.
Melody is one of the best professors I've had, her lectures were super engaging and interesting. She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She also has a great sense of humor! Her workload is doable and she offers extra credit. I would highly recommend taking her class.
I took her this semester for the first time and she was amazing. She didn't assign any busywork which I like because most of my other classes did. Her lectures were really interesting, some a bit long but she tries to shorten them. I recommend going to her zoom classes. She makes them super fun and she is very engaging. 100% would take again.
In my 4 years of college Melody is by far the best professor I've ever had. She is a role model, she's a brilliant professor and seemingly a great mom and she makes it all look easy. She's kind, compassionate, and relatable and truly wants you to succeed. She makes Anth the most interesting subject and makes learning fun and easy.
Theres a reason melody have 100% 5 star ratings. She is one of the most caring and understanding teachers Ive ever had at Chico state. Honestly, I've ever had in general. She's highly respected and is extremely intelligent! If you have the honor of of taking her class... DO IT!
I completely enjoyed taking Anth 2 with Melody. She is very passionate about her field of study and has so much fun teaching. She has a great sense of humor and gives plenty of opportunity to get a good grade in her class. Honestly, if you don't get an A, it's because you didn't put in the effort.
Professor Yeager is a very sweet and understanding person. Her due dates were extremely flexible, and the information we learned was always very interesting. The only drawback to this class was that the Professor waited until the end of the semester to grade assignments (other than the automatically graded quizzes). Highly recommend.
I took Melody Yeager's Anthropology 4 class and I really liked it. The lectures are fun and easy. She explains everything very clearly and gives out several extra credit assignments. The information is very interesting to learn as well. Melody is a great professor and I highly recommend her.
Melody's class was so much fun. I needed the class for my general ed and I am so glad I took it with her. Her class was so easy and very interesting. I learned so much from her and I wish I could take another semester with her. There was not a lot of work, there were a lot of notes and lecture days. For each exam we got a study page and no quizzes.
I love Melody, I wish she taught all the anthro courses. She is incredible. Tons of extra credit, flexible deadlines, easy to work with and get advice from. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. If her classes were like 6 hours I'd happily take them.
Great lectures, lots of work but manageable
