All essays the whole year, last essay needed a couple of points for a B didnt give me a B and i had a B on my paper
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.
Loved her style of teaching and has good class debates about curent issues going on around the world and locally
she hates anyone that is in student government...she hates anyone that doesn't feel or think the same way she does...she says she understands and that it's okay if u miss a class when u tell her ahead of time but when u do she'll 'forget' and use it to her advantage and call u out in class
super
shes smarter than most people; a real contribution
Great Teacher ! Although I don't like English, I loved her class. she teaches you how to write well organized research papers, that will help you in any class (Biology, business Etc) She likes controversial issues, and she allows you to espress your oppinions. I like her, she was my Enc 1101 and Enc 1102 professor and I did good in both courses.
Great Teacher!! I highly recommend!!!
She ROCKS! I hated english before her class. My brother took her and recommended her to me. I loved it. She is very smart and very helpfull. She makes her classes interesting her subjects are also very good =) Highly recommended!!!
GREAT PROFESSOR! VERY SWEET PERSON! GREAT APPLICATION OF LECTURE MATERIAL! EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! VERY FLEXIBLE WITH TIME, AND DEADLINES! ALLOWS PAPERS TO BE REDONE FOR A BETTER GRADE!
very funny, helpful, all you have to do when a project comes along is take her advice, and show her how hard you are trying. excellent teacher
Amazing teacher, Very helpful and caring. She cares about her students which is very important. She has to be one of the ebst teacher I've had through my college career and im getting my masters now! I LOVE DR. FALCO!
GREAT CLASS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! VERY GOOD APPLICATION OF MATERIAL. KEEPS SUBJECT VERY INTERESTING AND APPLICABLE! VERY CREATIVE!
Dr. Falco is a great teacher! She keeps the class fun and alive. She explains all the material and she is very helpful. I recommend Dr. Falco to students who have to take this class. AA++
A really great teacher that gives you many times to correct and improve your grade. You do have to do alot of research but that is no reason not to taker her because it helps you in the long run.
She will give you a lot of opportunities to do your work and to even re do it. I recommended her to my friends and they all liked her. EASY CLASS.
She is real irresponsible with her students, I'm taking her online class, and she does not make any update on the information; you have to e-mail her 2 to 3 times to get an answer after 3 days with not an accurate answer. Do yourself a favor DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE CLASSES.
Dr. Falco, Well there aren't enough words to describe her. She's not only an amazing person but she is an incredible teacher. Very helpful! Her class is not completly easy but she makes it easy for u to get a good grade. Gives you chances she is there to help u and give advice. I have taken both 1101 and 02 with her and I LOVED every minute of it!
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.
shes without a doubt one of the sweetest people i know but she wasn't very clear on the assignments she'd give us. gives a million extensions on essays. i'ma procrastinator and would rather someone who gives me a dead line but i guess if you're not, then shes a great teacher.
Amazing!!! A great professor. She is very sweet and you msy think at first that you won't learn anything because she teaches in a weird way, but believe me you do learn
Dr. Falco is THE best teacher in all of MDC. She's a great professor, helpful, easy, interesting... absolutely amazing!
She is one of the sweetest teachers ever! She knows her subject and she will definitely help you if you need assistance. I took her for ENC1101 and ENC1102 and I'm proud to say I got A's for both classes. I recommend her.
She is so weird. I did not understand anything of what we did in class. She rarely or never calls attendance so if you are like me you'll be ok. You need to write good cause she gets pick. I passed, but wasn't happy with my grade .. She is not very good explaining and you'll never know when the assigments are due. She is a not-so-good choice.
The best thing About Dr. Falco is that she is there for the students. Her first and foremost priority is helping us succeed. The best professor at MDC.
OMG what a great professor. You cannot leave dade without taking her. She is not only a teacher she is like a councelor and will help you through anything. It is pretty much a chilling class but you learn so much.
BEST TEACHER IN MIAMI DADE, SHE REALLY HELPS YOU WITH YOUR ASSIGNMENTS, CARES ABOUT US AS STUDENTS AND PEOPLE WITH OUR OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS. SHE IS UNDERSTANDING, ANY ONE THAT HAS WROTE SOMETHING NOT POSITIVE ABOUT HER IS CRAZY. SHE TRUELY IS A GREAT PERSON AND TEACHER. TAKE HER CLASSES, YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
She's the best teacher in Miami Dade College!! She actually helps you with anything, like scholarships, transferring to a university, essays, research papers, etc. She's amazingly helpful and she's always available during office hours. Me and my class mates would even go to her office just to hang out with her and talk.
IF your planning to take this professor online for humanities think again! she doesnt communicate well with the student and we you need help right away she take about 3 days to reply. so if you like knowing whats happening dont take this professor!
Te best professor I ever had at Miami Dade. If you take online courses, she is the best. She is extremely helpful and is always attentive to our needs. You'll be challenged in her class but you will also learn a lot.
Shes a good teachear i recomend her 100% to anyone i thought her class was easy she helps you out with anything and cares about you pasiing shes the best i passed her class with a B
To be completely honest, she's an overrall good professor.She's entertaing, a bit strange but in a funny way, loves youtube, you don't really fall asleep in her class and she's really nice.I haven't gotten higher than a B+ on anything...and I hardly go to her class and still do pretty good since she always lets u make things up.But goes off topic.
She's adores youtube.com and debating interesting subjects. Her assignments made me research about cool topics such as old school music, presidential debates, myth of beauty, and the human brain. She's very straight foward...and enjoys teaching with a passion. Take her class!
She is a great professor! You should consider taking her if you want an easy A+. I currently have her once a week and have missed a couple of classes and still manage to keep an A. She works with you and your schedule!
Good professor. I took her online, and she always responded to E-mails quickly. Also had lots of fun links. Tests aren't too hard, though they do cover a good amount of material. It is all clear what is covered on the test, so read what you need and you will get a good grade. Read more than what you need and you will get a good education.
excellent teacher she loves youtube her classes are very interesting. You get to redo your essay as many times as you want so you can get a better grade
PICK HER!!! Funny, Fun and made me want to write a paper. PICK HER!!!
i loved her. took her way back for both 1101 and 1102 very caring and dedicated professor.
got a b. easy course. took it online. teacher responds quicky to emails. only con is that something is due every week. didnt really use book much.
SUPER nice! take her, she will work with...she gives you extrs time if you need it, just email or call..SHE IS THERE TO HELP!
I took her online. She wasn't bad but u have to do exactly what she want's otherwise u'll get B or less. I always had As or Bs for my assey but she never gave me more then B. On one, because the assignment wasn't clear, I stepped out of the topic so she gave me 0 points. On campus tests were useless and difficult (write an essay and questions) HATE
On line class was horrable. A lot of assignments and work!!!! Tests are very friquently and many questions were not from the book, most of them about small details!!! Never take this class!!!
Easiest class...she is so nice..lets you make up all your essays..easy A if you know how to write..if not, easy B
One of the best professors at Miami Dade. You gotta work in her class, but YOU LEARN and she is EXTREMELY helpful and available!!!! I recommend her profusely, only bad thing is the text book - could do with a better one!!!
Really clear of what she want in a papper, she is way more than helpful, she cares about personal opinion JUST TAKE HER CLASS YOU WON'T REGRET IT
Great professor, very clear and helpful. She makes you work but you really learn. I just didn't like the book.
She's great! :) She'll give you the grade you've earned. As long as you do her essays, you'll be fine and you'll learn.
She is one of the best enlish professors. You put in the work and she give you the grade earned.
excellent professor...her class was a pleasure...she is so funny, just do yor essays and you will earn a good grade
Online course - I will admit that this particular online course was horribly disorganized and poorly designed (hopefully it has been redesigned by now). I did not find it that difficult (b/c I studied), but many students whined and complained that the midterm was too hard and the professor went our of her way to help and accommodate the students.
Awsome class, very helpful teacher. Class is not easy but as long as you study you will get a good grade. Take this class only if you have good study habits if not, dont!
She's a nice lady. Took her for ENC1101. If you do the work and attend to class. It's a piece of cake A. If you slack a bit and don't really go, it's a piece of cake B.
She is the most amazing professor I have ever had. She has helped me so much in life, I don't even know how to repay her. I strongly recommended that you take her as professor, you will not regret it. She is clear on all of her assignments and if you ever need help she is always available during her office hours.
Awesome teacher! Very understanding.
Dr. Falcon-Leshin is a very dedicated professor, who is very understand about students are their needs. She is more of an open-discussion type of teacher and provide many intresting subjects for essays. We had 2 documented essays for our mid & finals, which is a pro. I really wanted to take her for ENC1102 but she was FULL.What does that tell you?
great professor very understanding not a lot of work, and the essays were very easy she helps you a lot and gives you plenty of chances to make up your work and to bring up your grade am gonna take her for enc1102 in the spring i would recommend everyone to take her easy A or B!
took her hum 1020 class online and was very helpful. responded to emails quickly the class itself was a hard. the postings were easy but the tests and midterm and final were hard but still managed to get a C. took her for hum1020 and enc1101 this past fall and passed both classes! great professor would take again in a heartbeat!
Amazing teacher. Highly recommend her. Very eloquent and adorable woman. She seems like a hard-core feminist but I admire her strength and wisdom. Do yourself a favor and let yourself be inspired by this lady
HAD HER FOR ENC 1101 AND ENC1102 EXCELLENT PROFF VERY UNDERSTANDING!!! HIGHLY RECOMEND HER
Superb professor. Exactly the sort to put a freshman straight out of high school at ease. Textbook assigned is one she took part in, and back when I took the class in late 2006. Insanely tolerant with regrds to work; she literally allowed me to re-use an essay I had written for a different class (with that professor's permission of course)
INCREDIBLE professor! SO helpful and grades fairly. She gives you a chance to increase your first grade on essays by editing them up to one full grade letter. So if you had a B, you could increase it to an A. She makes ENC1102 a breeze!
Not what i expected for enc 1102 had her for enc 1101 and was awesome! but do not take for enc 1102 i busted my behind in class did all her essays and got 5 out of 6 scores and did a 5 page research paper that took me a month to do and come up with good research and she still gave me a C! good professor for enc 1101 but not for enc 1102!!
INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR. You will leave each class inspired to right all the wrongs in this world. She will open you eyes to new things, and you will grow. I took ENC 1101 & 1102 with her and got all A's, because she gives a fair amount of work, plenty of time to complete it, and she inspired me to WANT to impress her.
LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! She engages you to learn via class discussion. The work is fair and she gives you all the help and encouragement you need. She's really understanding and make you want to DO BETTER and BE BETTER!
INCREDIBLE professor! Super helpful and works with you when you make errors on your essays. Very easy to understand and grades fairly.
amazing professor! so sweet and helpful. made me look foward to going to class. not my strong subject but she helped raise my interest.
I was very behind in the beginning because i missed few classes but with her help i passed the class with an A! she i amazing and plan to take her for enc1102
She is a great teacher, hopeful, dedicated and sweet ! Thank you for being so awesome and helpful ! :) I took 1101 and now 1102 !
shes the sweetest lady. and a great teacher. very lenient but expects u to do the work. i see alot of posts about a good teacher for kids out of hischool but i havnt been to school in 6 years. and was very nervous. she helped me a tremendous amount and did so with a smile on her face every day. i DEF recommend her.
She is super intresting and I have never felt so confident in my writing until I had her as a proffesor.
Awesome professor always willing to help, great sense of humor. She's an easy grader got mostly A's on my essays she's a great motivator. Take her you won't regret it!!
OMG SHE'S SO SWEET ... VERY HELPFUL AND EASY!!! :)
YOU MISS ONE ASSIGNMENT YOU FAIL NOT A JOKE...i took high school online so im used to it but the calendar wAS CONSTANTLY changing SO ITS HARD TO KEEP UP BUT i got an A..ALL HER TESTS/QUIZZES ARE EXACTLY LIKE THE STUDY GUIDE..i honestly dont know why people are failing it...responds to emails fast,course is posts and quizzes
EXTREMELY nice!! i enjoyed going to class because she was always in a great mood ready to teach, also she is very smart :)
Great teacher. She is a very helpful person, you can go to her office as many times as you like and she will always be there to talk to you, very nice and grades fairly. I took her for ENC1101 and I got an A. Took her you won't regret, she is an amazing person and one of the most intelligent teachers you will meet in college. Take her
She is amazing teacher! Take her class you will not regret it!
She has an upbeat personality and sends all of the requirements by email but she does not explain well and drifts away from the topic she's supposed to be teaching. If you're good at writing research papers it will be an easier class to pass even though she doesn't believe in perfect grades.
VERY NICE! she will not fail you as long as you do your work and show some effort. shes very much into Spartans its kinda annoying...but definitely take her shes easy
Prof. Falco was THE BEST professor I ever had. She was very upbeat for her age and very polite.Her assignments weren't very easy but you end up learning ALOT. She grades based on skill and effort. I had her for both ENC1101 AND ENC1102. She's the most WISEST person the would ever meet. You'll never regret taking her. Cookies during midterms!
I love professor falc-leshin ! She is super helpful. She explains the assignment very clearly. Her assignment are challenging but this is college. She is a smart and upbeat professor reminds me of a sweet grandma.
Super easy. Shes supper nice. I loved it!
For her class one doesn't need a book, she sends her personal notes to your via emails. When writing essays for her she gives you a specific template to follow, its easy to comprehend. Mrs.Falco is an easy going person her class isn't hard, she is caring and helps every one. Her personality gets one motivated to learn, steadfast professor love her
Simply amazing. I took her for both ENC1101 and 1102
She is such a sweetheart and has a very positive attitude. It is an easy class but you always have to keep in mind that there will always be work. She gives out a lot of essays but its such a great help especially if you are not good in writing like me.NO need to buy her book! just the lab code. Would take her again with no doubt!
Ms. Falco was an engaging teacher. I truly enjoyed the required novel reading. It's easy to get an "A" if you follow her instruction and complete all her assignments. She was very kind and helpful.
She is amazing take her if you can you will learn alot and she had this really inspirational sense about her.
She's by far the greatest professor I've ever taken.I took her my first semester, and my 2nd for 1102. I strongly recommend her. You won't regret it. What makes her so great is that, her teaching goes beyond the classroom. She's a fantastic professor.
She is extremely helpful and nice. She gives 5 essays for the whole semester and that is your homework. No tests. The last essay is a research paper. Don't freak out with the research paper. She gives everyone a B if you at least try and do what she asks.
Great teacher. Quizzes and assignments are pretty easy but require research and a lot of thought process. Exams you must study for! Teacher is super helpful ;)
Amazing!
Amazing! She canceled the last module so we didn't have a final! The easiest class I have ever taken. Her assignments aren't hard just read what she tells you to.
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!!!!!
Good. if math major must take.
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.
awesome!
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.
Best Professor ever , only 3 mandatory essays and 2 group projects super easy class. you really learn the material and participate in class discussions. test are only 2 super short and she reviews before hand. great professor overall
Best prof in MDC, she loves every single one of her students! Essays are easy and she is an amazing grader!
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.
She is a good professor, nice person, but don't take it very light. She gave 4 essays and 2 presentation. I would have received an A if I put more attention to it.
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
SHE ROCKS! SHE CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS. Took her online and in class. Her instructions are clear and direct. She takes time to explain her assignments. I learned to love writing!
Great professor. If you miss a class, you don't miss much unless there's something due that day, but your grade does go down for attendance. Overall she's an easy grader and likes to talk a lot and tell lots of stories.
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.
This professor has by far been the best English professor I have ever had. She is always willing to help and has amazing topics to discuss every class.
Don't take online class with her
I am military, and she could not have been more helpful and caring. She did everything she could to make my experience meaningful. GREAT! I was afraid of online,but she made it great!
Relaxing and very easy class
This woman owns my heart, I love her so much. She's an amazing woman, and her class is very easy. Just show up, be respectful, and write your papers. She is so lenient and kind. Most of my class ended with an A.
Amazing professor and she is such a sweetheart. Cares about her students passing and is a great lecturer
Great Professor. Great Personality, funny and caring. A few Essays through out the semester. Easy grader.
SHE'S A GREAT PROF! She has very conservative opinions when she lectures in class and I was put off at first but I grew to like her over time. She shows up in class every day greeting students with enthusiasm. Essays were fairly easy and gave us lots of ideas during her lectures. Shes's caring, understanding, and easy to talk to. NO TESTS.
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!
Dr. Falco is such a sweetheart, I absolutely love the topics that she assigns us to write and research about. The class is not too hard, just 4 papers and a midterm. Love you Doc !!!!
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.
Falco-Leshin is such an amazing professor. She is so caring and sweet and her lectures are never boring. She assigns 4 essays, a project, midterm, and final but all are easy. She often even gives extra credit for turning in your work early. Shes a total gem and I would definitely take her again if I could.
Professor Falco is great took her for a 6 wks course and I got an A. She explains everything and she make sure you understand. She's very nice and her lectures are very interesting. She's fair, caring, kind, and understanding. TAKE HER!!!
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.
Very caring and understanding! Class has just 4 essays to do for the semester, and she provides clear enough instructions and information for each of them. Enlightening even if you don't agree with everything she says. You will pass if you do all the essays!
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 AWESOME. Took her for Enc 1102 (Fto F) and Hum 1020 virtual. She is an amazing lecturer. Hum 1020 had technical problems that she did her best to help us with.... Love her! Take her!
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!
