No Comments
one of the best profs I ever had! she is so nice! and the class is really fun! she makes you want to go to class!
Absolutely amazing.....i wish she could teach me all the way to my degree.
Hands down the best teacher I have ever done a course with, I have yet to skip or even miss a class, I go sick just to listen to her preach
She is definetly the best professor I have ever had. I may not voice my opinions in class very much but she really makes things interesting and enjoyable. I never though a prof could be so caring and genuine. Finally! A class that I love going to !!!
she really knows her stuff. She is very passionate about this subject and is very fun to be around.
Talks about herself way to much. On a crazy power trip.
Only one word can define her: Amazing
SHe is a great teacher! I would recomend taking her class!
great class! interesting discusion
She is a great prof. She gave us really good assignments and made class really interesting. She was really helpful and she allowed the students to have a say in the topics covered in the course.
While she IS a good prof, she's far too bent on enforcing class discussions. We don't pay you to MAKE us speak our minds.
A wonderfully articulate and intelligent woman. A joy to be in her class. Thanks Leanne for engaging such a challenging and intellectually stimualting class.
Nice lady, but doesn't take the course seriously enough. Missing two classes with no explanation is one thing, but missing five because "nothing's planned for today" is something else entirely.
In response to the previous comment: What class were you in?? obviously not the same Soc.2000 as myself. Discussion class still count as planned activities/classes. Perhaps it was YOU that was absent 5 times without an excuse. GREAT CLASS!
Wasnt pleased with this prof. Singles people out way too much and has to understand that some people DO NOT want to talk aloud in class.
Great prof!! Interesting class discussions. Really takes an interest in students.
EXCELLENT PROF! Gave great explainations and willingly answered questions. Midterm and final VERY fair! Very nice, but kind of scary on the first day of classes with all her expectations! But after you get to know her, you'll love her.
She is an excellent prof!!
Truly takes an interest in students. Class dicussions very interesting. A great prof!
Ilove her! Best prof ever. Makes class fun and enjoyable to go to. Exams very fair, she pretty much tells you what she is going to put on it. Most amazing person i ever meet in my life. Suggest that if u get the chance, take one of her courses.
I actually enjoyed going to this class at 9:00 in the morning! It was interesting and Leanne made sure we understood the information. She's the best prof ever! Midterm was incredibly fair.
Great Great Great Prof...loved her! :)
she is a wicked teach. I really got learned in that class
awesome
Well ... if you want an easy A, I say go for it ... but if you want a prof who actually TEACHES the course material and prepares you for future sociology courses, I'd say keep searching
I had her for the intro sociology course and I loved her. She was a very nice and interesting prof. I loved the discussions. I would definantly recommend her courses!
Leanne Lane was one of the best profs I ever had! I really enjoyed her classes and looked forward to going to them. Her discussions were awesome! I highly recommend Leanne!!!!!
She is extremely fair. WIll give you as many chances as you need. Excellent prof.
she makes class so interesting. She loves to talk about everyday things that are happening in society. Which is what sociology is really about. She will only test you on how far you got in the book too. SHE IS AWESOME. I cant wait to take another of her courses.
Excellent. Very friendly, fair, and knowledgable about her subject. I only did the course because I heard she was great. Would definetly recommend her.
Awesome prof...someone reccommended here to me and i in turn reccommend her to you!!! fair, talented and everything a prof should be..she made me believe that it is possible to enjoy soci class
Awesome Prof! She explains things so they r easy to understand and she makes it interesting! She actually made me happy to be in Sociology...Get her if u can!!
I chose a sociology major because of how great this prof is! She makes the material interesting, she's very helpful, and her tests are fair.
Overall, a pretty good prof. Her tests are really easy as long as you listen in class, since she gives all kinds of hints as to what's on them. She has lots of enthusiasm, which makes her classes really interesting.
I can't say enough good things about this woman! She made me want to go to class every morning. She makes the material fun and interesting and easy to understand. I absolutely adore her! She is so personable and friendly and so down to earth! She's just.. amazing! Get her for this course (or any other course she teaches) if at all possible!
She's Hularious!!!
Leanne is the greatest. Her sociology class was so intresting that I would never miss class. She goes out of her way to help you in any way she can. She is very easy to talk to, and wants to do everything she can do to help you pass the course. Hats off to you Leanne!!
Leanne is the best sociology prof that i have ever had. If you can get her for any course you should do it. She gives out the questions before the exam and she helps you with the questions if you ask. She is a hard marker, but fair. I loved her :)
leanne was an awesome teacher!...she makes the class fun and makes you want to learn the material. she is great with giving hints for tests....totally prepared. if you have the chance to get her, do it!
LOVED HER! she is the best prof ever, if you can have her for any class, do it. she is funny and class is always a laugh...not boring at all. i wish i had to of done my sociology with her too! she is a great teacher...always got funny stories, she is great for WSTD if she ever teaches it again i strongly reccomend taking it with her
Leanne is an amazing prof, who genuinely cares about all her students. Her lectures are easy to understand, and she is funny. I would defidently reccomend her for any course. She is one of the best prof's I've ever had.
GREATEST PROF EVER TO TEACH AT MUN!!!! LEANNE IS GREAT WOULD AND HAVE RECOMMENDED HER TO EVERYONE!! HER STORIES MAKE THE CLASS SO MUCH MORE FUN AND SHE'S NOT AFRAID TO TELL EMBARASSING STORIES ABOUT HERSELF! TAKE HER COURSE YOU WON'T REGRET IT AND SHE'S A VERY FAIR MARKER!
Leanne is an amazing professor! I've had some terrible profs this semester, so I am very fortunate to have had her to brighten up my mornings. She is clear, fun, and open to discussion at any time. I hope very much to take one of her courses in the future!
Great prof, genuinely cared how I progressed which says alot for a mun prof. Take any course from her that you can.
Leanne is a really awesome person, she is very down to earth, real, and really caring about her students. I've had her for two courses, but i do find she tends to mark kind of hard on papers. Sometimes she'll kind of take up class time by lecturing students on not doing well, but i think it's just because she cares.
very REAL and CARING. Marks accurately throughout. However, to help u out; i'd suggest working hard on the two papers (30%): best to avoid topics she knows well(Crime and deviance)- be original. And, WARNING the final is considerbly harder then you'll expect. The m/c are nearly impossible from reading bkalone -focus on class notes to do better.
This women kept me in university, she is def. the most helpful prof ever. She is very easy to understand and is willing to do anything to help. Very fair just an overall great person!
She is willing to help, whenever it is possible. I took the night class, and it was enjoyable. She tends to mark harder on papers than you would assume. The midterm and final were tested mainly on material in the textbook, and the classes were helpful to attend as well.
Leanne's picture is in the dictionary right next to best prof ever! she makes the class interesting and fun, looked forward to her class every week. she tells you whats going to be on a test, what else do you want to get an A? She does everything she can do help students understand the information. Inspired me to want to get a soci degree!
Prof Lane is good for the transition from high school to university. She is clear, to the point of obvious which I personally found to make the class boring. She clearly cared how students progressed in the course, I felt often as though I was back in high school and didn't enjoy her style of teaching. It made the course boring in my opinion.
BEST PROF EVER! I missed a class once and was actually disappointed. Her notes are clear and easy to follow and her teaching style is great. She tells you what is on tests and midterms and will oftentimes let you re do thought papers for a better mark. Overall AMAZING prof!!!!! :D
She made class very interesting. She knew the material very well and presented it in an interesting manor. She was funny and very helpful. Always ready to answer questions. I would highly recommend her.
I thought she was a great prof
Best prof in the entire world... definitly definitly take her class!!!
She is really dedicated to her students. Willing to help if you ask and is very clear in her expectations of her students.
Really interesting and funny! Made me laugh so much. Pretty easy marker, except the final exam was much harder than the rest of the course. Submit your paper early, you'll do better!
Leanne is awesome, by far the best teacher I have ever had!!
Leanne was an excellent prof. She made her class very interesting and truly cared about her students. Attending class is crucial and beneficial for the midterm and the exam. If you go class, and read in the text what she tells you to, you'll do great in the course
I took the night class with her and there were nights where I wish the class was longer than 2.5 hours! She is so entertaining. Her stories are hilarious! I love her. Her notes are great and she gives you the long answer questions that are on the mid-term and final throughout the semester. I would recommend this professor to everyone!
Ms. Lane was a really good prof in class. her lectures were very interesting and enjoyable. however she tested at a much higher level than she taught and this made getting a good mark very hard.
Loved her. She is very passionate about the material she teaches, and you can tell she really loves her job. She's funny and makes class enjoyable. However, she marks her midterm,papers&final fairly hard. A good mark in her eyes isn't higher then a 75% and if it happens, its rare! Pleasant lady though, and I looked forward to her class every week!
Leanne is an amazing teacher. I took her night class and could not wait to go to each class. So interesting. She told us what long answer question was going to be on the midterm, and told us 2 of the 3 parts of the long answer on the final. Definitely recommended.
Leanne Lane is a sociology goddess, she definitely knows her stuff and in class makes this course extremely easy and understanding. She wants her students to succeed and is willing to help any way. You would think a night class is a terrible idea but I could not wait to go to class and listen to this womans knowledge. HIGHLY recommended
Hands down, the best prof I have ever had. Really knows her stuff, would do anything to help anyone. Everything a professor should be for sure
Awesome prof. Highly recommended.
To the person below, Leanne is amazing and I received 100 percent on one of my assignments. She gives you the course on a silver platter, so she expects you to know a lot. If you are too lazy to learn the material then that is fine, receive bad mark because you deserve them. However, if you put in the work, you'll definitely succeed.
I hate going to class and I generally hate all my prof's - She was amazing!! She holds your attention for the whole class and I had a 2 1/2 hour class! She's very fair and helpful! Recommend her to ANYONE!
Awesome prof. Did this course by distance and she was quick to reply and really sweet. Easiest course I have ever taken. All material comes directly from the book, no surprises. Definitely recommend her.
The most AMAZING prof I have ever encountered. I have taken two courses with Leanne and would certainly recommend her to potential students. Very clear,knowledgeable and helpful to her students! The university could stand to have more prof's like her!
She is a awesome prof, her courses are interesting, shes clear and precise. Her marking is reasonable and in cases when she thinks you have too many papers or exams at the same time she will give just ask if anyone wants a extension. By far the best prof I've ever had.
Gives absolute god awful feedback on your work, got the same mark on all 3 essays and the exact same feedback when 2 of the 3 essays were written very well. Don't know where her grading comes from with the discussions, you can't simply do them and expect 100% because you wont get it (i had paragraphs of detail and got 80).. avoid!!
Honestly, the content of the class itself is great and interesting, but the amount of reading is beyond belief. Not only the readings from the book are extremely dense, but on top of that she gives additional readings that are very long (and not from the book). If it wasn't for all these unnecessary extra readings it'd be an amazing course.
Worst instructor ever. Doesn't have a clue! Never responds to emails and provides useless feedback.
She is nice but I found her grading to be overly difficult. I feel as if I made quality submissions in my papers, however I always thought I was awarded less marks than I deserved and was not provided with much feedback. Weekly discussion posts are graded on a content basis and I replied each week with a quality submission and received a 16/20.
Overall a great prof. Not too much material, and no huge number of assessments. Expected to participate in weekly discussions, and assessments were all take home, including the midterm and final. The only thing is that grading is difficult and feedback can be vague. Leanne is easy to get contact with and accommodating when needed!
Leanne has little to no contact with her students. Her grading criteria is not very clear so you do an assignment that you think is great and then get a not great mark on it and she says it wasn't really what she was looking for or she tells you what you are missing AFTER the assignments are done and graded. The course itself was very interesting
I would advise to avoid if possible. The material itself is pretty easy and her lectures are easy to follow. But her lecture notes are lacking and she is not specific at all in her expectations. Even asking for clarification and elaboration on comments didn't go anywhere. She also doesn't respond to emails very quickly.
I had Leanne for an online police studies course. She basically posted the syllabus and the semester reading schedule and that was all. I cannot speak on her teaching style because it was an online course, but there was an unmanageable amount of readings for a 2000 level course. Plus feedback is very vague. To conclude, I would not recommend.
There is just no winning with professor Lane's grading. The course material is interesting, but her feedback on evaluations is vague, and she is unclear about her expectations when something is assigned. I do not recommend. This otherwise would have been an interesting course.
I felt like no matter how hard I tried in this course I couldn't progress with Lane. The only feedback she did give me when explaining why I lost marks didn't make sense. She stated that I should've included things that were certainly included and other people in the class with me had the same issue. It's almost as if she didn't read our work.
She was a very hard marker, and did not clarify the grading scheme with us. My whole class asked for clarification, as she sent us each the same response when we asked for individual feedback. Would not recommend
I found Leanne Lane to be very average. Her notes are alright and her testing comes mostly from the notes with a bit of application
Leanne really emphasized the need to think critically. She checked in throughout the course. I would love to take another course from this prof. The course resources and modules were well thought out.
gives detailed feedback after assignment submission and is not hard to get along with.
Lane was very clear in her grading criteria and stressed critical thinking above all else. Did not give feedback on discussion posts, but the feedback I received on my midterm assessment was very detailed and helpful. Super nice prof who checked in regularly. Course material was interesting and assignments were easy to complete. Would take again!
Leanne is absolutely amazing!! She is so understanding when it comes to mistakes made stresses and worries. She is very accommodating with assignments and provides great feedback. I would 100% recommend her to everyone so kind and caring. If you see her name take her.
Prof. Lane is a great instructor. Her courses are engaging and she provides detailed feedback. With a reasonable workload and helpful teaching style, she makes the material accessible. unstuck ai was a game-changer for studying.
I'm a crim major and shes a very easy grader as long as you follow the course criteria and is very easy grading with the discussion posts. She answers emails in a reasonable amount of time and is very reasonable when it comes to asks. Such as using an out dated textbook she was very willing to let us know what chapters we'd be using.
Never spoke to her in person, as it was an online course, but she seemed like a nice lady. Didn't seem like a tough grader, and work was returned pretty fast. I would recommend.
She is a good prof overall. She is helpful and reachable if any help is needed. However, she doesn't give feedbacks for assignments and discussion posts, which wasn't really helpful
She didn't grade things until the end of the semester which made it difficult to improve. She doesn't always answer emails which makes it difficult to know if you're in the right direction. I found her to be nice and a decent grader, but prepare to do A LOT of reading.
