Doherty is my favorite professor at Simmons. She is brilliant and knows how to teach to a wide range of students. She is at the top of her field, hilarious, relatable, and makes sure you walk away from class with all of the necessary skills/knowledge. Take a class with her if you can!

Leanne Doherty is the best professor I've had . She is funny but brilliant. I've learned so much from her. She makes you work hard without even realizing it. She knows how to get the best work out of you. She's always willing to help in anyway and is very approachable. Never get bored or tired in class.. even at 9am!

Well she's professor of the year-that's got to mean something, right? She's great. She keeps your attention during class and she's funny. Uses relevant clips from the daily show and SNL to make a point. She's understanding but also makes you get stuff done. Learned a LOT from her class :-)

Professor Doherty is my all-time favorite professor. She's brilliant, and you don't even realize that you're learning...but that's her trick- she teaches, but changes it up and keeps it interesting so you don't feel as if you're stewing in your seat.

Prof. Doherty is always available to help with questions and is increadibly enthusiastic about the subjects that she teaches. She is very senstive to the mood of the class and prefers class discussion to lecture. She works hard in a department that is understaffed.

I think Leanne is a wonderful person who has taught me alot. I love her great sense of humor. It adds a lot of quality to the class. I feel like if u think she is underqualified then u have no personality.
