Melanie means well, but she often appears to off in her own world. Her due dates for assignments often changed and not much got accomplished during class time. But, she is pretty good about allowing students to turn in corrected papers - which is good.

Kept wanting me to change a paper until it matched her opinion on the subject. She argued with a foreign student over the meaning of a word in that student's native language. The class called her ethnocentric and she freaked out. Avoid this teacher like you would a vasectomy at a night carnival.
