VMWare running ridiculously slow (hexbear.net)

I'm in a class that requires I use VMWare virtual machines, however it's running very slow. I had a meeting with my professor to try and trouble shoot why but we both can't seem to find a reason.

I got plenty of ram, I shut down a few programs that seemed to be causing my computer to run slow and made sure the VMs were in my actual drive not the cloud but is still very sluggish.

Is VMware an actual requirement? There are other virtual machine solutions that are much better. If you're on windows I would recommend hyper-v

That's what the professor wants us using but I may be able to get away with using something else, kinda depends if the files she's giving me are compatible with other VMs
