Class "discussions" were mainly her talking at us. Often unorganized.

Ms Preston is like one of the students, which makes discussions fun.

Great Teacher, very helpful, just go to class or she will deduct points.

very fun and easy going...participate and you'll do fine

She's the best professor ever! I'm going to take her ENC 1102 class as well as her Women's Studies class. She's completely awesome and you guys - she's GORGEOUS. Definately easy on the eyes. I'm a girl and I even enjoyed looking at her lol

Three words : So Damn Hot

she is so amazing. highly recommended, as she has a true passion for teaching. her discussions leave you feeling enlightened and empowered. a devoted feminist and true activist!

Great Teacher!!!!!!!!

very fair grader. concerned about improving your writing skills, and grades based on effort. look for the tongue ring.

She is an awesome teacher! She is a really fair grader, but her discussions are awesome! I HIGHLY recommend her!

She's really devoted to her teaching. Great interactive classroom, definitely sees students as equals. Highly recommend her, just make sure you discuss either on webct or in class...and show up. Good attendance and participation helps!

Take Leandra for any class she is teaching and you will love it. She is always intersting and grades fairly. To make sure you get an A, participate in discussions and post on WebCT. She is easy to get ahold of outside of class.

A great english teacher for students who dont really like english.

Easy interesting class, open discussions which can be fun. Just read the few pages and say what you think. Atleast when I took the class, lots of feminist manifesto, but ya know. Leandra's easy on the eyes fellas (how chauvinist!).

Awesome class. Really helped me improve my writing skills. Extremely open-minded and relates to the students well. Plus she is incredibly hot. Happy visuals + good teacher = great class!

she hot guys, even if you don't like english she'll make it interesting. grades fairly and understanding. I would definitely take her calss again. Highly recommended.

She is the reason why I get up every morning to go to class (no pun intended). She obiviously loves her field and is willing to impart her knowledge. Fair grader and quite the looker. I giver her a 10. (uhhhhhh.....for being a teacher)

Amazing teacher! Very passionate about Women's Studies, really knows her stuff! Easy grader and is willing to assist you if you have any questions. One of the best courses I've taken!

passionate lady and really interesting. she opens your eyes to alot of things and she is a very fair grader and is pretty lienient on assignments.

Leandra is a doll!! Yes, she's adorable, but we women also love her for her mind and personality! She's the sweetest person and genuinely cares about people. But she's also a fighter who'll stand up for herself & for what's right! :-)

Great Teacher!!!Take her whenever you can.

awesome professor! she's a great person. take wst from her! she's gorgeous!

Leandra is one of the better teachers Ive ever taken a course with. she is also one of the most amazing people ive ever had the pleasure of knowing.

The best class ever. You will learn a lot and Leandra is a wonderful teacher. If you are not sure if you should take this class - just take it!!!

Great Professor!!!! She's very nice and she works with you if you have any problems either with the material or turning something in on time. She's very understanding and very sweet. I took her online course. It was great!!

Very helpful professor. Really cares about her students' needs. There is a lot of reading, but there are no exams. Your grade comes from responses to these readings. Very easy, but a little time-consuming.

I took it online and it was an enlightening experience. She assigns interesting reading and we have some sort of discussion due weekly. She lets us use our creativity and for our mid-term we could write a paper, make a website, a magazine, etc. She is very nice and this is a great class to take.

Very excellent class. Leandra is the best teacher I have ever had. Her work is challenging and fulfilling. The service learning component really reinforces course material. Texts, discussions and projects are all extremely interesting, thought provocating and absolutely entertaining.

Inspiring person with great passion for the subject matter. Empathic and smart.

This class does involve some work and effort. Weekly discussions that involve you to read the required text...takes time but is fairly simple to do. You also have to turn in journals and complete a service learning project which involves writing a paper. You will have to do a good amount of work, but it is a good class.

She is very interested in the subject and encourages you to think about injustices that occur everyday to women. Men will also enjoy this class even though it is women's studies.

I love love love Professor Preston. Great course organization, expectations are clear, very engaging material. Take her for women's studies, you will get a lot out of it. I would gladly take her again.

Leandra was an amazing teacher! Her class discussions really encouraged the students to take ownership of the course. She had interesting outside material to bring in to class. On top of that, she is a really nice person and even came to some of our feminist get togethers outside of class. She is a fair teacher, & I recommend her to everyone!

Prof. Preston is awesome. She is organized and easy to communicate with. She love what she teaches and wants students to love it too! Take her for Intro to Women's Studies (online was even good!).

Leandra is one of the most intriguing and informative professors I've ever had. She allows for the best open discussion, and is the best facilitator of discussion and learning that I've met. The classes require a good bit of reading, but you'll want to read it, and how else would you learn? She often teaches at Cocoa but it's worth it. Take her.

Brilliant. What a college course is supposed to do: Inspire and ignite your world! Leandra is encouraging and totally fierce. (Plus: she is super smokin hotttt!!!! Hands down: THE most sexiest womyn in the worlddd. That is if you like the whole rock n roll & ears gauged look. mhmmmm.....total hottie!!!)

Leandra Preston by far is the best professor at UCF. Theres alot of reading but hello people this is college. She is not judgemental and totally into what she does. (Also: she is pretty easy on the eyes. Like super smoking hottt. I'd take another class just so i could look at her for 3 hours a week.)

The best teacher. Take this class even if your believes are different than what is being taught. This is a class that makes you think outside your own box, and it is very an uplifting class, for yourself and your spirit. I did not want to like this class because I did not know what to expect, but it turned out to be great

Online. You really get a better idea of what feminism really is. Took it in 6 week format, no tests. Weekly discussions and replies plus a film analysis, and the big one--a service learning project and paper worth half of your grade. Start it as soon as class starts and you'll be fine!

Online. Class is interesting. 3 tests, otherwise postings. Professor grades fairly easily, but is slow putting grades up. Service learning project is a big deal and requires a minimum of 15 hours of your time, and then you write a paper about the experience.

One of the best professors I have taken at UCF and it was an online class. Organized, challenging, super responsive, empathetic, and overall excellent prof. Definitely take her, even if you think Women's Studies is just for man-haters. She will prove you wrong.

Took it online. Lots of reading and writing discussions. As long as you keep up with it, it's easy. Very interesting. Sometimes it took a while to get grades back. Answers questions. Must do 15 hours of service learning! So plan ahead for that! I got an A. Good class

I took this class during 6 weeks in the summer. It was a little fast paced but it wasn't extremely hard. The reading isn't too bad, some of it is interesting. She grades fairly, service learning was required but it wasnt alot of time. Reccommend this class if you are good with checking your webcourses regularly.

She is one of the best online professors I have ever had. Actually DISCUSSES with students, grades with feedback, provides ample opportunity for grades, is responsive and overall super attentive for an online teacher. I wish I could take her in person but she mostly teaches online.

A great professor! This was an online class. The workload is fair and she is lenient in the discussions. One paper but it was an opinion essay so it was an easy write! If you check your webcourse regularly, you'll be fine.

I took this class online. I was hesitant at first since it was my first women's studies class, but I enjoyed it so much that I'm keeping my women's studies minor. Weekly discussions, make sure you discuss with classmates and check webcourses frequently. Do the community service early!! The only negative is that she can take a while to grade.

The material may be lengthy, but so well worth it. You learn a lot and are encouraged to help out in your community and have discussions with other classmates. She gives you everything you want in a class. I plan on taking her classes as much as I can.

Good class.You have either quiz weeks or discussion weeks...both pretty easy. Discussion posts are 500 words, and you have to interact with other students. Quizzes are short and are related to readings and assignments. 15 Hours of community service, and a paper detailing and logging your experience. 5 page min. Not too hard if you do it early.

Really interesting course, especially for an elective. I took the class online and she always clarified everything that I did not understand. We had 4 quizzes total and a discussion every two weeks. Also had to do 15 hours of service learning and write a 5 page paper about it, which is not hard or long at all. I recommend her for anyone!

Great class, easy to pass. Discussion board posts are based on opinion of the readings that week, and some movies that you have to watch (available mostly on Netflix Instant). Quizzes are short answer. Also, there is a 15 hour service learning project.

Great Professor. This is the 4th class I've taken with her and I've loved each. She's very fair and wants us to do well :) Recommend HIGHLY!

This was a great class and it is my 3rd time taking a class with Professor Leandra Preston. The class consist of discussion, reading from the two main textbook and a research paper at the end. I enjoyed learning about masculinity and the information provided were great. She is very nice and helpful as well.

Amazing and cares about the subject and her students

Best prof at UCF

Dr. Preston-Sidler made this class enjoyable when we talked with other classmates about each topic via discussion boards. I rarely found myself referencing the textbooks. 1 fun project that you can personalize, along with the 15-hour service project, which is pretty simple to complete (5-7 pages long). Great elective for tech/gender studies majors

This was an OK class but she is horrible at grading. She takes forever to grade your assignments. Even after the term was over I still was unaware of one of my grades on the biggest project. You have a Service-Learning Final Project/Paper which you have to complete to pass the class. Everything else is discussions, there's no quizzes or exams.

Amazing teacher. Very responsive. Emails back within 24 hours. Great topics in class.

Course consisted of weekly textbook readings, weekly discussion posts, and 2 exams. Exams were straight from textbook. Professor took a little long to grade, but was clear and consistent. Super interesting class and easy assignments

Dr. Preston is by far the best professor I've had while at UCF, her course consists of in class discussion, along with relatively easy homework and quizzes. Her concern seems to be more with having students engage in meaningful discussions than dishing out useless and difficult assignments. Best professor at UCF and I highly recommend her courses.

I learned a lot by doing the discussion posts and following the readings. The midterm and final were pretty hard but she gives you a lot of material to help you learn.

She is my FAVORITE professor at UCF, I have taken four of her courses now and they are some of my favorite courses I have taken. She packs in super interesting material and outside sources and the discussion posts are never boring. She's also so caring and compassionate. I hope women's studies becomes a full major so I can learn even more.

Sometimes the assignments or assignment due dates were not very clear but overall I think the Professor cares about her students and she understands that things happen. I have taken a class of hers before and would take another one.

This is my second time taking a class from this professor because shes honestly the best! Very understanding and caring of her students well being inside/outside of school. All of her material is easy to grasp and she understands we all have lives. If I could take her classes again I honestly would! Any class with her is amazing & easy! WST3610***

Pretty easy. Very understanding professor, just email with any issues and she'll work with you to figure something out.

Not a bad class overall. Dr. Preston was accessible through email, answering pretty quickly. There were no tests or quizzes, just writing assignments for each module, a project & two papers under 1,000 words at the end of the course. It does take a while for things to be graded, but the criteria are clear so it shouldn't be hard to get a good grade
