What Students Say

Took this class online and immediately had to drop because not only was she very disorganized and had us use 3 different sites which was VERY inconvenient just to access our upcoming assignments, but when asked for clarity she comes off as extremely rude and tells you to re-read her 40 page syllabus instead of simply answering your question

PSYCH10 - 1.0 rating

Good luck getting a professional or helpful response from her, she either doesn't reply or she replies giving you three reasons why shes not going to answer the question in a 1,2,3 format such as "you should already know this/ idk why youre asking me this / students depended on others too much" LBCC should look into her behavior towards students

She's very particular about how she wants things sent to her. It makes sense.. If I had a huge # of students via online.. I'd like to try to make the grading easier on myself. However, she doesn't like to reply or answer questions. She acts like you should understand it bc.. we all comprehend the same (sarcastic voice). Lots of work.

Professor Melucci is awesome, and if you dont think so youre crazy. I have taken 2 of her online classes so far and got an A in both. The exams are so easy she even opens a discussion tab so all the students can help each other get the right answers.

Dr. Melucci, does not baby her students. Her expectations are straight forward & clear. She provides plenty tools and resources to be a successful student.
