Everything in the midterm and final is taken directly from class lecture and the textbook, word for word. The pop quizzes are easy A's if you do the reading, and there is extra credit offered every two weeks in the form of attending lectures and documentaries on campus.

Comment:

Her lectures are interesting, but a lot of the time you simply go over what was in the reading. The reading is important though, as you often take quizzes over it. She is a little all over the place, but she gives good feedback on assignments.

Comment:

I couldn't understand her accent at all, and I'm FROM Virginia! She doesn't seem to know what she's doing as a professor. She's willing to help students who need it, but almost everything out of her mouth is hard to understand; she isn't very good at explaining things, and her accent is so strong you have to dissect every word.

Good class, the lectures were rather dry. Reading wasnt exactly necessary and most students did little to no reading. Pay attention in the discussions and you'll do alright.

Comment:

She was extremely unorganized! Overall, a decent teacher though, she was always willing to help with anything if you went by her office. Can be a bit scatterbrained, but an intelligent person. Be prepared to write a lot!

Comment:

Incredibly unorganized, always has papers flying everywhere. HORRIBLE at explaining things, never understand two thirds of what comes out of her mouth. All her thoughts come out jumbled and don't make any sense. But you can tell she is incredibly intelligent. Always willing to meet anytime outside of class. Be ready to figure out a lot on your own.

Completely unclear lectures, but assignments are not too hard. You will have to figure a lot of stuff out on your own. She is very disorganized.

Comment:

Lots of work for this class. Tends to cram lectures in at the end of classes instead of carrying over, and skips alot of information because of that. Plan on mandatory out of class meetings for this class, too.

Whitney Leeson is probably the best person at this college. If you can get to know her, do so. That said, behind her bubbly, happy facade, is a professor that knows her subject, so no slacking.
