Really cool, and understanding! if you partipate in class you'll be hooked!, she loves to talk, she is really good. We had to write only 4 essays, and you get to pick your topic. She loves controversies issues so try to pick your topic on that side. Use her guidelines when writting final essay!!!

she is really really nice person, but as a professor she is really mediocrid. You get an easy B or A if she likes you, but if you don't she just gives you a passing grade that drop your GPA. also you don't get prepared for ENC1102 and then you have to suffer in that class.

Great Teacher. When we had an essay, she would actually give us the format on how to write it. She also gave us many chances on re-doing our assignments so we could improve our grade. She also let the class re-do our mid-term essay in case we didn't do well. At the end of the term there was a research paper due. Shes a really sweet lady.

THIS CLASS IS SUPER EASY! Professor Falco is a very intelligent and really nice. We only did about three essays. There are a few mini essays (about 1-2 paragraphs) that we had to do but they aren't that bad. No midterm nor a final. Take her!!!!!

She is a beautiful amazing person! She is a sweetheart and a great teacher. She inspires her students to love the subject and do the work! It's not boring!!! Our final was on Walt Disney, or first paper was about ourselfs! It's a fun class if you participate and she uses everyday life to teach you. Relatable, kind, she's a genius! I just love her!!

She always replies to emails, she only gave us two papers to write and one proctored midterm essay. The rest are mostly quizzes and you do NEED both books for. But its a very easy class and I would recommend her to anyone with a very busy schedule such as myself.

Easy class. You have to write 4 papers in the whole semester, the final counts for 40 percent of the final grade. However, prof. is an easy grader. You have to do a PPT presentation and thats about it for the class. She will tell you to buy the book, but you wont use it.

She's great! I recommend her to everyone. She's amicable and always enthusiastic. Once she brought cookies and coffee for free and at the end of the core, she provided us tips and insights about life. She assigned four papers and two presentations. Our class did not take the final exam because she said she enjoyed our participation.

This class is very easy, it isn't boring either. Professor drifts way off topic, she loves to talk. She also has a lot of strong opinions on politics. She seems to teach her political opinion more than she realizes, even though it has nothing to do with her lecture. Don't buy her textbook or online code, you won't even use it once.

DO NOT take her online. She is very unclear on what she wants for her essays and did not let me fix my essays. You need the books for the quizzes. 2 papers, one is APA argumentative and the other on a novel. 1 midterm essay. Quizzes and discussions due every other week. Does not let you work ahead. No final

AMAZING! I love her so much! Very thoughtful and well respected professor! She is your best fried fist minute she walks into the room! She is usually "fashionably" late, 15 minutes for sure, and let us go earlier. Yet, very taught grader but she help you out to achieve more. I got a B only because English is not my first language.

Amazing professor! Classes are relaxed, interesting, and thought-provoking. Expect to start late and leave early. But do not mistake this relaxed vibe as an easy-A. She expects properly written work and credible research. If you are not a good writer, seek her out after class for help, see a tutor, or get a new professor, because you won't do well.

One of the best professor's I've ever taken at Miami Dade hands down!!! She genuinely cared about me, and willingly helped me pass her class. Respects your life outside of school, and understands were all human. Usual work can be expected, but she doesn't over do it. I'm beyond grateful for Professor Leshin, an recommend her to anyone!

Choosing this professor for 1102 was the greatest decision i made thus far in college. Dr. Falco- Leshin lectures are quite interesting, and ties in with the the topics that she assigns you for your papers. She assigns 4 papers, a midterm, a presentation and sometimes quizzes. She may even give you EXTRA CREDIT for turning in your essay early.

During class she will present info for the 4 or so papers you will have to write. She will give you more than enough time and she is an easy grader. Professor Falco is a very kind person. She is also very well spoken, with that said, she does like to give her political opinion during lectures. Did make me upset at times but she is very nice :/

Taking Dr. Falco class was the best decision i made this far in my college career. Your writing will improve tremendously as well with your way of thinking. The topics she assign us to write about are social science related and a little bit of political issues that are going in our world today. I highly recommend students to take her class.

This class was easy peasy but this professor is a mess. We were given a syllabus at the beginning of the class, that had makeup weeks... no makeup weeks were permitted even though we received numerous emails about them. A lot of technical difficulties. Do the work and you'll pass.

She is an amazing professor. We had four essays including the final, and an oral presentation as a part of the final. She is all over the place when it came to her lesson plans, so if you aren't able to multitask she may not be the professor for you. Overall though, she was thoughtful, engaging and the most interesting professor I've had thus far!
