You walk away from her class knowing that you actually learned and understood the concepts she taught. She gives no busy work, only work that actually helps you. If there is any way you can take her, do it.

Leah is an amazing professor. Extra credit on the tests is great. First time she's taught A&P and she didn't really figure out what she wanted us to learn, so we were expected to know a lot. For the final, she gave us pages and pages to study and then we were only tested on 110th of it. Memorize 3 types of this and 4 of that and 6 of that . .

Made a tough subject palatable. Drops lowest quiz score, and lectures are not "pre-fab" from publisher. Her quizzes are taken from her chapter review, her chapter review is taken from her lecture. Gives an outline for a study guide prior to the quiz which she takes her quiz questions from. Study hard and you will get an "A"

Although Leah is extremely nice, her lectures are TERRIBLE! You can't ask her any questions because she gives you a response of "Umm, yeah I think it's this".

Leah is by far the best professor I have ever had. She provided a lot of material to help with understanding of the topics. She is very knowledgeable and kind. The lectures are easy to follow and never get boring. The exams are a bit difficult at times but I think it really tests understanding of topics. I would take again.

Leah is a great choice for Intro Bio. I live close to main campus but drove to Montoya to take her class, and I know several others who did the same. Worth it. She makes the material as straightforward as possible and really goes the extra mile for her students. Prints out lecture slides every class (!), grades quickly, and is responsive to email.

The best! I chose her in every BIO-related class since she is the clearest, most organized, and prompt professor. her AP lectures are extremely simplified and very well written. She is always approachable and WILL help you get an A. Her lab is different, it's written by Anna-who is very unorganized- but Dr. Freeman is always available to help you!

If you have a life out of school like if you have kids or a job don't take this class she will give you two study guides with 20 pages each as well as a quiz you have to do five times and a final quiz that requires camera all in one week each week.

The class was okay, the online modules were sometimes really long and required you to retain a lot of information. Tests were sometimes hard. Completing the online modules and taking notes was key to passing the tests for me. I think for an intro bio class, it felt like a lot of info to cover. She is very organized/consistent.
