Professor Hendon can be a lot sometimes. She tends to be all over the place. She is the sweetest person on earth. I love her crazy personality it makes class more enjoyable. A few tests and quizzes. Not bad at all!

Comment:

Ms. Hendon is very nice and accommodating towards her students. There are very few assignments, only monthly discussions, 3 quizzes, and 3 exams. There is a textbook but you won't need it. As long as you pay attention during lecture and review the PowerPoints, you'll pass. She's also pretty funny and loves to show you her different animals!

Comment:

She is a good professor despite being all over the place. Attendance isn't mandatory but you probably should because she tells the answers to the quiz and sometimes to the test. Make sure to study the mock exam by SI and her review questions on canvas. Overall, her class is all right if you apply yourself.

Comment:

She is very sweet and funny. Her lectures were funny but because she's so talkative and all over the place, she does not finish on time and skips a lot. As long as you study hard in lab, do the SI worksheets, do the quizzes real good, and review anything extra she posts, you'll be ok. This class is hard bc it's a lot of info, it's not her fault!

Comment:

Hendon is hilarious lecture professor, but if you really want to understand your information, take someone else. She is an easy professor with HARD material that she hardly covers. Learned way more from lab. However, the students in lab who had a different professor were better prepared.

Leslie is all over the place and super hyper but she really is not a bad teacher. There is A LOT of information, I mean a lot, to cover and she does her best. Her tests come from the quizzes she posts, the SI worksheets, and her extra sheets she posts, so take advantage of them. Make quizlets for her power points.

Love Love Love her lectures. She is the greatest ever. Go to class, learn her slides, and you'll do well if you put in the time.

Comment:

Leslie has good intentions (ie. tries to finish lectures in time), but tends to fall short. EXTREMELY scatter-brained and hard to follow sometimes, but a great person outside of that. Attendance isn't mandatory. No book needed; HEAVILY lecture/study-guide based. Take Lancaster if you want to retain what you learned. No extra credit opportunities.

Comment:

Anatomy is a tough class. Leslie does her best to cover all the chapters before the test, but often there is just too much material to cover. She tries to make lectures fun, and her lectures are super interactive! But she's also a bit scatterbrained. She's super approachable, but if you like structure and predictability then she's not for you.

Comment:

Dont take this class if your time management skills suck. Exams and quizzes are online, available for 3 days, no proctor needed but the work is time consuming. Book isnt needed but youll have to buy a $25 program for discussion purposes. Labs dont coincide with lecture and they require you to be outside a lot. Attendance isnt mandatory.

no extra credit but you wont need it. suggested we buy book online, I didn't buy the book and still got an A. Attendance is not necessary but GO TO CLASS she is awesome! Few HW assignments. Everything due online, this includes HW and test. the 2 test are open notes. She requires 6 service learning hours and a small report.

Comment:

She's absolutely amazing and cares so much about people. I was worried about what to expect. It's all scientific, there is some volunteering involved, not many assignments. It's so worth taking this class just to see the hilarious stuff she'll say or do next.

Leslie is something else, she's a really easy professor and all of her tests are online. Somedays she is lecturing the whole time, others she's riding a scooter around the classroom. This is the class to take if you have to take a science but don't want to.

The environmental science tests and quizzes were entirely online, you really don't have to go to the lectures because you can open and close the test as often as you want and you have the entire week to complete it.

This could be an EASY science credit, but was also a really cool class. All online tests & attendance wasn't mandatory, & she uploaded PPTs, which she guided her in-class lectures by. She makes environmental topics understandable and meaningful, and has service learning as part of grade. Would definitely take again - she is awesome!

Makes you PURCHASE some half-assed start up participation program so she can talk all period without any interruptions.

This is a tough class, but Leslie brings LIFE to Anatomy and cares about her students. She made the constant studying just a little bit more bearable by always being upbeat and positive. She is very knowledgeable, always available to answer questions, and truly makes sure you learn the material for you to pass... Why is Lancaster even a thing?

A piece of cake. Easiest class I've ever taken by far. All the tests were online, and there was little to no homework. Very goofy professor. The only part I disliked was that she was a bit all over the place and oftentimes struggled to maintain control of the class.

Is this even a real class? Take her environmental class if you are only taking a science because you have to. She's sort of all over the place, but it's pretty entertaining. Tests were all given online with no time limit, just as long you did them within the couple of days that they were posted.

Leslie Hendon is a great teacher but you will have to work your butt off to pass. She makes the class more bearable though. Study every single day (for lab and lecture)! Utilize lab ES.
