Comment:
I was so bored in class every day. The lectures aren't interesting unless you're already really into the subject. We covered a lot of history and were asked to memorize laws and dates. I was hoping it would be a more discussion-based and theoryidea-based class. The TA was helpful.

Comment:
Micco is passionate, but her lectures are a collection of ill-guided tangents. She drops names like mad, and does not talk about the readings. She once told us that The Little Mermaid was offensive because it insults the "culture" of people with "mermaid syndrome", which is actually called sirenomelia, and only 3 known current cases exist.

Professor Micco is an outstanding professor, mentor and individual. I entered into Mills College knowing very little about Native American History...because of Dr. Micco, it has become my passion! Her politics are sound and representative of her intellect.

Comment:
Native American History with Professor Micco was sometimes interesting. There was a lot of reading. She often talked about unrelated subject matter in class, sometimes without even knowing anything about it. She was a tough grader. For example, she expected us to cite our sources on a midterm when we had simultaniously read four books.

What can be said for Dr. M? Mentor, advisor, spiritual guide, help through the storm. I've TA'd for her twice, and anybody who doubts her organization should look at her records: they're insanely detailed and insanely accurate. This respected and admired elder (at least, to most Mills students) has single-handedly guided a fulll generationn of Native women through an environment utterly unfriendly to Native people. She's an amazing, incomparable professor, as well as a tremendous inspiration.

Dr. Micco is diufficult only when you are writing papers. She is a pretty tough editor, but you learn to be a better writer for it. Easily accesible; I have spent an hour in her office after she answered my initial question. Great to talk to about any subject, academic or personal. Dr. Micco came from a resumer-student background, so is great with younger and older students alike.

I was extremely dissapointed in this professor. She should not be allowed a teaching credential. Her lectures are very broad, no structure whatsoever. She was very boring, and I agree, that she talks about herself a lot. YUCK!

She rarely reffers to the reading she assigns. If you want to take Micco stick to a class that she knows: Native American studies. She talks about herself a lot and is one of the most boring professors I've ever had to listen to.

Micco's a good professor when it comes to her area of expertise. Stick with courses about American Indians and you'll learn a great deal, even though her classes can be a bit sermonic at times.

Dr. Micco is an amazing and bright professor who challenges her students to think critically analyze class materials. Students who take initiative, are interested in the material and are able to self-motivate will learn a great deal from this woman!
