Melissa Hammerle
EDST
Melissa Hammerle is one of the most compassionate, understanding and caring professors at Middlebury. Have taken three classes with her and have loved each and every moment of them. She is very passionate about what she teaches and will do whatever she can to help you understand the material.
Professor Hammerle is one of my favorite professors at Middlebury. I took Ed in the US my first semester at Midd and learned so many interesting things about the education system. She really cares about her students and gives thoughtful feedback on your work.
Professor Hammerle is very enthusiastic and engaging in this class which is contagious. This course, like most First Year Seminars, was very writing intensive. As a result, I would highly recommend staying on top of your assignments and planning ahead at the beginning of the semester. Professor Hammerle helps students understand mindfulness in the context of pedagogy as well as other aspects of life. With that being said, a lot of the mindfulness vocabulary can become repetitive and the readings seem to be similar in their nature.
