Comment:
I love Dr. MacLeod. She has to be my favorite professor at IUP. She genuinely cares about her students and wants to help them when she can. I've taken Phil 122 with her as well. She tries to make the material as understandable as possible through her lectures. I recommend taking her for any class she teaches. She makes going to class fun.

MacLeod is amazing. She will assign readings for every class but she always will spend time explaining them and really making sure that everyone knows what's going on. The material is controversial but she is very honest and unbiased; really creates a wonderful environment for discussion and opinion sharing. Her exams and pop quizzes are easy too.

Comment:
Honest and unbiased: Dr. MacLeod is a nice woman. She is also very strange. The reason I dislike her class is because it is primarily lecture, and while I tend to enjoy lecture, she is not competent at it. Her lectures leave you dazed and confused. I am sure she would help you outside of class. Her tests aren't very easy. And she DOES do attendence

Comment:
MacLeod is extremely eccentric - and definitely worth taking. For the honors classes, she teaches Political philosophy. If you care about politics, the class is super interesting. If not, I'm sorry. She'll explain the readings in class, so don't worry too much if you don't understand. She'll want a LOT of citations for papers though

Comment:
I hated every moment I stepped into her class. She was nice but I just hated everythinggggg about Philosophy. She makes you read and gives you pop quizzes on the readings (5 questions true and false), I read but nothing ever made any sense. So glad this class is over and I never have to take another Philosophy class again.

Comment:
I walked into IUP deathly afraid of Philosophy. I left 4 years later with a second degree in it, and Dr. MacLeod is one of the reasons why. An excellent professor who clearly loves philosophy and loves to teach it (and is GOOD at teaching it), but she is also extremely willing to help students, and in my book that's what really sets her apart.

Professor MacLeod is responsible for my interest in Philosophy. She is one of the few teachers I've ever had who is truly interested in her field. She teaches some of the only classes I can pay attention to with interest throughout its entirety

I have taken Dr. Macleod for several philosophy classes she is by far the best professor I have ever encountered. Her interest in what she teaches is so strong that it captures your interest as well. Honestly, this women made me love philosophy.

Love her! She's funny and really makes you think about the content. She is honest and open for feedback. I found all of the articles that we had to read in class online so I didn't buy the textbook though it is important to read. She gives in class writings but grades fairly. No hw. Just read and show up to get a B and above.

Absolutely incredible professor. Seemed to have a different fashion style for every day of the week, and something about her whispy demeanor just radiates charisma. She is extremely intelligent, very helpful, and welcomes questions. I had absolutely no trouble with symbolic logic because she made things crystal clear. Highly recommended.

Great Teacher! The material is hard to understand but she is very helpful, has a lot of office hours and can explain anything to anyone. Her study guides are extremely helpful for tests and her tests aren't hard. If you find them hard, tell her and she'll try to make it easier. Definitely recommend.

She is VERY helpful, and she makes the class interesting. She rarely expresses her opinion on a topic because she likes to hear the students' opinion. She'll always play the antagonist no matter what, which can be quite annoying, but this forces you to think more. The test are easy, as long as you defend you point of view.

Difficult class (obviously). She can be a little hard to understand sometimes and the readings are difficult but it is philosophy of science. Go to class, READ, take advantage of office hours. Above all, be crystal clear, splitting threads precise in your wording on papers.

Dr. MacLeod is an absolutely rediculous professor. Her teach meathod is to ramble to you about her views try to get you to share your views, but if you disagree with her then you're wrong. Her exams are half scantron half essay and the essay you must write perfectly and support her possition on the topic or she'll give you a poor grade.

This was by far one of the hardest classes i have ever taken at IUP. If you didn't share her view points she graded you harder. if you arnt a gay, vegetarian/vegan, black/female student DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. i had to work my ass off just to pass this class.

Comment:
This professor is very hit and miss. She can be very nice but if you cross her, look out. She is very short (almost rude) in her emails. I understood most of the material prior to the class and the manner in which she explained it was confusing to me (very unclear). Material could have been taught much more clearly and easier.

I took Professor MacLeod (that's Mah-Cloud, not Mic-Lee-ood) for both Philosophy 325 (Modern Philosophy) and Symbolic Logic. She's one of the best Professors I have had yet. I have a medical condition, and she is extremely understanding and supportive, not to mention helpful!

This had to have been the hardest class I have taken at IUP Dr. M was helpful but when I talked to her I ended up being a little more confused than before I spoke to her. She is cool individual but in my opinion an very unclear professor
