Melody is nice... but a eh instructor. Every single icebreaker and activity was childish and nearly insulting to do as a college student. If you care about actually walking away from a class feeling like you learned something, take a different class on the EU. I could've learned more from a Wikipedia page than Melody's lectures.

Best class I have taken in college with best professor

An okay professor. She is very kind and cares about her students. This class is VERY discussion heavy. She assigns A LOT of reading and writing based homework (which takes a long time to be graded). This class is primarily about migration especially in the second half of the semester and not as much about culture. I would not recommend this class.

Melody was amazing! Her lectures are great. She CARES about students and wants them to be successful. She doesn't teach to test, she teaches to engage which makes classes outstanding! Can't recommend her enough. 1 research paper, daily discussions and two in class essays. Keep up with the reading - you get WAY less out of the class if don't.

Melody is so sweet. I love having class with her. She is so genuine and makes learning so much fun. There is a lot of reading and her class is super discussion heavy but it is not too hard.

Melody is literally the best professor I've had at my time here so far. As a junior, this means she surpasses many other past professors. She is always caring and truly loves her students. The class itself is interesting and she turns a lot of boring material into something interesting by implementing a lot of engaging class discussions.
