Comment:

PHENOMENAL PROFESSOR! She is funny, VERY educated, and teaches very thoroughly. She expects you to understand the material VERY well. Her tests are DIFFICULT and she can be a tough grader, but it's because she really wants her students to learn and succeed. I can see why some don't like her, but she is hands down the best professor I have ever had!

Melaney is good professor she's very good at teaching BUT she loves to hear her self over and over talks a lot about her family then rushes the material at the end so fast. yes I would recommend her but get ready to deal with her the entire semester she 's kind of annoying type professor, test are okay if you read the notes. good luck !

Comment:

Melaney is a wonderful professor. She is smart, funny, and her lectures are great. She records them, but I recommend you go to class, and you learn everything that is gone over in lecture, and everything that is on her provided notes. This class is hard. Hardest class I have ever taken. That being said, I got an A, but wow I worked for it.

Melaney is by far the best professor I've had here at SLCC. She is so knowledgable and loves teaching Anatomy! She is truly so passionate about the human body. If you participate and work for your grade, she will reward you in return. Take Anatomy from Melaney!

I took both Anatomy and Phys from Melaney and she is best instructor ever! Tests straight from her notes, in class quizzes are fun and help a ton. attendance is not mandatory but you need to be present to learn the material and if you miss a quiz it will count against you. She is pretty, funny, and explains everything very well!

Comment:

I took both anatomy and physiology from Melaney. She is so funny and down to earth. Study her notes because that's where her tests come from more so than the book. Go to the review sessions that she offers because sometimes she'll give you hints about the test. And the best thing about Melaney... She is fiiiine!!! Hottest teacher I've ever had!

Melanie makes this challenging class doable. I recommend attending every lecture because you will not pass this class if you do not. Her tests are hard and taking the class quizzes will help with your grade. I highly recommend Melanie for physiology.

Melaney takes an extremely hard subject and explains it in simple terms. She is very knowledgeable and fair. Her tests are hard, but she doesn't try to trick you and makes it very clear that you must study to pass this very difficult class. Really funny professor and I would definitely take another class from her.

Comment:

Melaney is the BEST anatomy teacher I have found at SLCC. She makes sure that you understand what she is talking about. The tests are really hard but if you think logically, then you will pass. I should have taken her the first time but didn't. Don't waste your money on another teacher. She is really funny and good to look at too!

Melaney is a great teacher! She is really funny and makes the subject interesting. Her tests are pretty hard but if you actually study the notes and go to class then you will pass. She is the best Anatomy teacher that I have found! She really wants you to succeed. I DEFINITELY recommend her!

I took Anatomy and Physiology from her at the same time and I did very well in both classes! She is the best teacher I have had by far! She makes class interesting and fun! Her tests are hard but they are straight from her notes. I would not say she is an easy teacher but she is fair. I would love to take another class from her, it was a blast!

Melaney is an AMAZING teacher. I passed anatomy with an A the first time, that says enough! She has all of her notes posted on her own website, so you dont have to use the book in class very often. If you want a good grade the first time take this class from her!

Comment:

This was the best class I have ever taken. The way she presented the information made it incredibly interesting and relevant to everyday life. I did not use my textbook in this class once because the information she provided in the lectures was so clear. She is hands-down the best instructor I've ever taken a class from.

She is a great lecture teacher, but her tests are killer. She does everything she can to help you. In the end only about 50% pass her class.

Melaney is very helpful and understanding. Her tests are hard, but they come straight from her notes. There's a lot to study, but honestly the information isn't all that difficult. It's Anatomy, it's not supposed to be easy!!!
