don't do it

dooon't think about it

Not a good lecturer, and does not understand statistics. I have received all solid A's in all of my science classes, and I believe I will in this class, so I'm not saying this because she gave me a bad grade ... she's not a good teacher. If she makes a mistake on the exam, she will not give you points back. Grading scale is good because an 88%=A

The problem with some faculty members at WSU like this lady is that they think they're doing something to the world. Some of them are prejudiced and this's very clear in this lady. If you ask'er a very simple question she'll say WELL THE SHORT ANSWER IS I DONT KNOW. She thinks students can read her brain&fortell her outcomes on tests. Discouraging

The worst professor I have had in my entire college career. Very little of what she lectures on is actually on the exams. If you ask her a question very few times is she able to answer it. She is to far gone in her career to be able to relate or help students anymore. Avoid if at all possible

difficult class!

don't do it!

Depend on yourself and you will learn a lot from the reading. Depend on her and you won't. You need to attend the class and use every minute with your GTA that you can. EITHER WAY, YOU WILL FAIL HER EXAMS. I dropped - first time ever. Disappointing and frustrating does not begin to explain my experience.

The worst professor I've ever taken. This genetics class requires you to know her drawings. Grading is totally arbitrary so your answers to her exams can be wrong or right depending on the TA that is grading

far too much work for an undergrad science course, especially considering a full class of 250 has been reduced to 40 students. Her desire is to weed out the geneticists, but this isn't WSU's goal. too bad Meller doesn't get it and she isn't on the same page as all the other science profs at WSU.

A rating from 2012 here says Meller recorded her lectures. FUNNY THAT - she didn't bother to record OR post any notes fall 2014. Impossible to take notes and take in what she was saying. She spoke real slowly but it didnt help. She simplifies the data but after getting mostly 1010 in quiz class, I bombed her exmas. avgs were from 55-72%. Horrible

OK, let me first say that most of her exams are from her notes. But then, 15 of the questions are from a tiny small aspect of some random trivial number from the chapter. She does not go over any chapters - no slides, no explanation. You are left to teach yourself, so learn those 20 chapters that she will go over in 14 weeks (YES, 20 chapters)

Meller lectures fast + gives vague descriptions for specific topics then expects you to know what she is talking about. Exams are all critical thinking or problem based but neither are covered in lecture or discussion. Syllabus and class lectures never lined up so you have to search the book for explanations on what she covers in class. GPA killer.

Do not take this class. She is not clear. If you do not watch videos you don't know what is going. She do not use PowerPoint or any visual aid. I went to all class sessions study every day and did not pass with A. Her assignment are not helpful.

I have never had to rate a professor, but I thought this one was important. Do not take a class with this professor. She is rude, and inconsiderate. Does not care to help students and VERY unapproachable. Does not explain things clearly, so be prepared to teach yourself. Definitely do not recommend.

She lectures by writing on blank power points. Good luck keeping up and understanding your notes later. Definitely have to listen to lecture again and read the book. Exams were half multiple choice and half short answer. Good luck with the multiple choice.

She gives useless outlines and assignments. When you ask a question she can't answer it and tell you don't interrupt the class She favors students!!. Never take her.

She tries to get a classroom excited with her pep talks that in actuallity waste time. She is a poor excuse for a teacher. It's really disappointing too. Her talking makes it hard to learn in the classroom. Plus, she has frown lines. It's truly sad. Doesn't respect students and has a really bad attitude.

Taking her was the worst decision I've made. She isn't thorough with directions so you have to teach yourself. She disrespects all of her students and yells when somebody tries to ask her a follow up question. She isn't prepared when she comes to class . When she makes a mistake in her grading she doesn't fix it.

She was probably one of the worst professors I have ever had. She is very disrespectful and pretends she cares about her students but she really does not. Genetics is a hard class itself and she made it way harder. Focuses on so many things during lecture and exam questions are about little details. Would never take her again.

She is HORRIBLE. you will learn nothing. constantly changing the syllabus. exams were hard and confusing. Have bad attitude when you go to her office hours and never gives you a right answer. Keeps mumbling and saying go back to YouTube!

Most of her classes were every boring and her classes didn't do much to actually teach the material. Her tests are really a hit or miss and no amount of studying can prepare you for the hard ones. The questions on her exams are particularly hard to understand because the wordings of the questions and options can be interpreted in multiple ways.

Hard to hear, PowerPoints are not organized, will become angry with class if you ask her to speak louder. She made our exam s impossible because she said average in genetics ha to be a. Stated 50% needed to pass and 50% needed to fail, so she will grade to meet the quota. She is so rude in office hours, will not explain anything and keeps mumbling.

I would never take a class with her again. The tests we extremely hard and focused on the most minute details. I studied like crazy for this class and it didn't seem to matter. She was not available for the students except for her very limited office hours. Gets so angry and anxious when you as a question in class or office hours and cannot answer!

Do not taker her because she is the hardest teacher at the campus. You can't understand anything when she's explaining. She doesn't help. Nobody likes her and they all complain. She is rude and keeps yelling at students whenever they ask in class or in office hours.

Worst teacher I ever had. If you ask her questions she will get mad and make you feel stupid in front of the class. She said you cannot understand this problem because "I wasn't smart enough.". DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER.

if I can go back in time I won't take her class. she is the most horrible teacher at the university. I hated bio because of her. she isn't helpful and she doesn't care about her students.

She cannot teach, always makes mistakes and gets mad when you correct her. Never accessible outside class in office hours. Has an attitude towards everyone. Take Dr. Fan, he can teach!

All she does is coming late to lecture and rushes the material. And she always said my job isn't to give exams to everyone to pass it, the average has to be less than 60%. Always makes mistakes and gets upset when you ask any question. Keeps mumbling and cannot use the computer. She had to call IT to open PowerPoint for her. Very rude and mean!

Do not take any class with this professor, she is lazy and rude. Refuses to post lectures in canvas. Takes ages to grade exams and quizzes with her inexperienced TA's. She does not deserve the money for teaching at this school. In fact, she should have to reimburse her students for making them go through the living hell that is her class.

Very horrible teacher! STAY AWAY from any class she teaches! She does not know how to communicate well with students, puts students down and makes them feel hopeless. She does not put effort in her teaching what so ever. No study guides are given, she doesn't post any PowerPoint slides in Canvas. Cannot use computer and wastes time every day.

She came in always complaining how she might not make it through the whole class all the time. Cannot teach and gets mad when you ask a question. All she does is writing on blank PowerPoints and reads them. Never responds to emails and never accessible outside class including office hours.

I had to teach myself everything using the textbook. This professor is horrible at teaching and doesn't go into detail. She cancels class a lot and really doesn't care about you and wants to get out of the class as much as you. The labs for honors are nothing like what you are doing in class. Has a really bad attitude when you ask a question.

Horrible teacher! She will not work with you! Getting a good score is impossible. She would not go over the tests or take time to discuss anything! Don't risk dropping your GPA or losing out on money!

Horrible, horrible professor. I'm usually great in science so it was unusually for me to fail. I studied for every test and ended up failing. I only did good on the labs in honors section. Exams are set up to fail. It's like a foreign language no matter how much you study. The notes and study guides aren't even on the tests.

Take her if you want to say goodbye to your GPA and around two thousand dollars. Minimal opportunities to earn points and what opportunities you have, she will grade you as tough as possible. The questions on the few exams given are plagued with tricks. She is very counterproductive to learning. Worth the extra money to take with a different prof

I nearly failed my other classes from how much time I spent studying for this class. I put in so much effort, took all the notes, studied the notes and her guides. NOTHING. She has the heaviest accent, no enthusiasm, only 4 lecture exams, and ALL her tests (lecture and lab for honors) are tricky! She expects us all to have doctorates in biology.

She was awful! she tried to teach but was not successful. If you have a question she will get so mad, yells at you and then try to answer but you will end up more confused. Very monotone. she is not interested in student's success. Takes like 15 minutes trying to figure out how to use the PC! Has a bad attitude towards all students and never polite

To whoever is looking to take this course with Victoria. She is VERY RUDE. Second, she makes you look dumb if you asked her any questions. Third, she rushes through the slides with each chapter being 70-80 slides and each exam covers 4-5 chapters. Four, she reads off the slides and doesn't seem to explain. Lastly, her exams are from other plant

This professor is a hoe. She is very mean and rude to her students because she expects people to understand something the first time they are learning something. The lab is bad, the lecture is dreadful because of her: 1) Shoving material without covering it, 2) Rolling her eyes at people when questions are asked. Avoid at all costs. Don't take her

She just reads ppt slides without explaining in lecture, but expects everyone to show up. The exam question are practically your whole grade; but exam questions are not worded well and are overly confusing even if you know all the information. The lab portion of the class sucks. She does not help you to retain the information. Very rude!

She cannot explain. Doesn't like if you ask questions and never responds to email. Never available in office hours and has an attitude towards all students.

Gets so mad when you ask and favors students over others! never take her

She is so disrespectful. Doesn't like when you ask a question and gets angry when you come to office hours. She said my job is to present the material not teach it!! Favors students too!!

The worst professor in Wayne State. She is so rude and there to fail you. Always comes late and keeps yelling at students for asking questions. Never responds to emails and never in office hours.

She is so rude and doesn't know what she is talking about

She is awful. Really rude and cannot teach.

She is horribe and very rude. Doesn't respect students nor teach good. She has an attitude towards everyone.

Absolutely the worst class I have ever taken. Her tests are unrealistic and averages were very low (like 50s and low 60s). Very minimal curves (if there are ones). She is also rude to struggling students. Clearly does not know how to teach. Just writes all lecture and expects you to write after her because she never posts slides or video recordings

Her ego is so far up her you know what that it's not even funny.. She is so rude. Do not take the class with her. She will destroy your GPA. Save your money and time and take it with someone who actually knows how to teach.

Extremely rude and unprofessional. She always comes late to class and enjoys giving students Ds in all her exams. Stay away

This person does NOT know how to teach. The class was surprisingly less difficult than expected. However, she sucks with technology and is actually a horrible teacher. Shes rude in lecture and ignores students raising their hands. She doesnt post any notes and simply just doesnt know how to teach. She ignores university rules and her syllabus.

Doesn't know how to teach. TBH she's more concerned about making test averages lower than teaching the material. Take it with Fan I hear he's the only genetics teacher that knows how to teach.

Not a good professor at all. Had to teach myself all of the material because her lectures are useless. Doesn't even post the slides she just post her recordings. Thank God this was the only hard class I took or else I wouldn't have had enough time to spend for it. Do not recommend her at all, unless youre ready to teach yourself because she wont...

Genetics is hard and she makes it harder. Does not know how to teach and does not even use slides, you have to keep writing after her during lecture because she only posts audio. Exams are hard. Do NOT take if you want to keep your high GPA, take with a different prof. for the sake of your money and GPA.

To be fair she's a nice lady. That's it. Not a good prof at all, had to teach myself everything since the lectures were terrible. Exams were difficult and majority of the class dropped understandably. Students that liked her generally mistook her kindness for good teaching. Most of the people I spoke to said the same thing; Bottom line, don't take.

She is so rude and disrespectful. She doesn't know who to teach and gives exams that she doesn't know how to answer. The most terrible and rudest woman on the planet!

Most suggested practice problems and practice exams were not like the real exams. Had an exam in bad weather. Discussion section was focused on the book, rather than lectures. Quiz every week. Analyzed research papers (5 of them). Huge curve on exams because of bad grades (but won't help if you still did bad). No slides posted, so constant writing.

Exam questions are sometimes random and/or have topics that were never mentioned. Half multiple choice/half written questions. No lecture slides posted so you write everything. Terrible at working canvas. Huge curves on exams because averages were always in the 40's/50's. Discussion is pointless. Apathetic, rude, and a poor excuse for a professor.

Single-handedly the worse professor I have ever had. She does little to set her students up for success and has a clear lack of empathy. Not only does she not post the slides, but only records the audio; so, if you miss a slide during class there is no way to view it. She even refused to send specific slides when students emailed and requested them

3070 is an extremely difficult class, and she makes it even more difficult. Class averages in the 50s. She lectures and sometimes gives practice questions. Practice exams not helpful, they seem pretty easy and then you get the exam and reality hits u. She made a 4 credit class feel like 10 credits. Have to dedicate every single waking moment for it

Horrible. Ruined my life and GPA. You could be albert einstein, you will not do well. It's a miracle I got a B. All averages in 50s. Whole class tried reporting to dean and head of dept but nothing was done. Humble yourself and do not take her. Extremely unhelpful and vague. Told us she can't tell us whats gonnabe on the final. No help from her.
