Comment:

She assigns multiple readings/videos per week. I couldn't get higher than a 68% on any assignment, even after following her feedback from previous assignments. Wasn't engaged with the class at all. The content was not what I expected it to be. Wouldn't take another class with her again.

Comment:

I took this class online as an elective, she has to be the laziest, least present prof I have ever had on an online course. She assigns approx 10 articles to read, plus several videos to watch for each module then only has 5 slides of her own writing. She marks extremely tough and even if you follow her advice you'll only gain about 5%.

Comment:

I don't know what her lectures are like since I took an online course but she was easy to reach, she gave good feedback, and assignments were graded quickly. For each unit (including reading chapters, forum discussions and case assignments) I put in about 10 hours of work.

Comment:

Class is graded on 5 assignments and 5 forum posts. For all 10 of these, use scholarly resources from both the course and ones that you found doing your own research. Use her feedback to improve you grade. Go above the word limit for assignments and posts to get a better grade. Use examples to prove your points. Great prof and interesting class.

Comment:

She cannot teach whatsoever, graded super hard and when asked for grading rubric she responded that the mark was out of 5. Would actually put effort in each forum post and would be marked oddly (3.2/5, 2.7/5, ect.). Was excited for this class, but her grading and unclear modules ruined the whole subject for me.

Comment:

Leona's class is extremely interesting, but is equally as challenging. It is a little bit disappointing, as you often feel like you have learned from her feedback, but you never seem to get it just right.

Comment:

A Great prof, you may not agree with her all the time but she is open for any opinion and ideas. a very relaxed way of teaching and an outstanding person. if you do not learn any thing from his class you would still learn enough from her which will last you for life. Interested in religious studies try her.

Comment:

This class was decently interesting, and the marking was quite fair. If given the option do the presentations. Classmates said that the tests, while not hard were way too long for the time given. Overall it was a decent enough class, could be a bit dry at points though.

Comment:

I was kind of put off by the negative comments on this site. However i am glad i took the class anyways. Leona was awesome very understanding, gives you lots of opition to make the class your own. You get the opition (2times) of a presentation, paper, or exam. Followed by 3 assignments and a small exam. She is wonderful and i reccomend her x 9!

Comment:

I'm not sure I understand all the terrible comments--sure, she may not be the best professor I've had but she is good. I found her lectures organized and interesting. She encouraged a lot of class discussion and seemed to enjoy hearing our opinions. She has tough but very fair expectations, and you can do well in her class.

Comment:

Yes, she's tough, but not unreasonable for a Uni class. It's important to know your own beliefs, though. Both she, and the text have some wonky ideas about Christianity, which calls what you learn about other religions into question, too. She was decent about me speaking in disagreement, though. Just be sure you know what you're talking about.

Comment:

Highly disorganized and scatterbrained. Marks fairly arbitrarily. Doesn't make her expectations clear. If you appreciate clarity of language, thought, speech, and argument, don't take any classes from her - you will suffer.

Comment:

WORST PROF EVER!! She expects her students to know as much as she does about religion, which is completely unfair for a 100 level class. Her instructions change without notice, and good or bad, she'll tear your work apart. Completely unorganized, and lectures are somewhat scattered. AVOID TAKING CLASSES WITH HER!!

Comment:

Worst prof ever. I beg you, don't EVER take a class from her. She is a crazy hippie. Went off on weird tangents all the time (90% of them would bash Christianity), made the midterms really long, impossible to finish and included questions on material we never even took. I also don't think that she marked my term paper fairly. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Comment:

Leona Anderson is a good professor. She explains concepts in simple everyday language, encourages class discussion & uses images to complement her lectures. Do not buy the textbook, it was never used. She does however have difficult exams requiring a lot of study time & her demands for her papers I feel are unreasonable. Also, lectures were boring.

Comment:

I thought that the class material was interesting, but she tends to go off on HUGE tangents, where at the end she herself doesn't remember what she was talking about. Often goes off on tangents about Christianity, which I found useless, being as it was a Hinduism class. Tests are too long for class,and she asks questions on material not covered

Comment:

She was a good prof. She marked essay very fairly and encouraged people to think for themselves and form their own opinions about the material, and encouraged class descussion on those opinions. I would definately take another class with her, in fact I am this spring.
