Best teacher ever! Offer her a full time position.
try to get her for lecture and lab because she's awesome!
lecture-works from outline on overhead and fills in the blanks as she goes
She is a pretty good prof. I have her for lab. It is a difficult class, but she is willing to help and answer questions. She is probably the easiest out of the 3 zoology teachers.
had her for lab- shes smart, professional, and easygoing
Give loads of extra credit oppertunities! Very very fun!
Excelent prof. Great person Great class A must take prof.
Excellent class but tough material. Do the work and you'll be well rewarded. Not a class to take lightly though. Leigh is awesome! Thank you!
Leigh was an awesome professor. She is very helpful and explains everything very clearly. She is an asset to the Biology department
Such a nice lady. She is young but she knows her stuff. She relates well with the students and she is willing to help and give a little extra credit. WONDERFUL TEACHER!
Awesome teacher! But animals are not as easy as dog and cat. Lot of memorizing but she practically tells you whats on the test!
Leigh was a great professor, very friendly and you could tell that she wanted her students to succeed. Very knowledgable as well, made the 5 hour class fly by (summer semester!) Thanks Leigh!
An excellent teacher and a master of bladed weapons.
she is an awesome teacher. i had her for both lab and lecture... explains things very clearly and helps you whenever you need it. goes over everything that is on the test so you know what to study. great teacher. Take her class!!!!!
She's an easy teacher if you pay attention and keep up with the material. She makes sure you know what to study for the tests so nothing is a suprise. No real homework or projects...just study.
Ms. Kleinert is an awesome teacher but you'd better know your stuff! She teaches it well and expects you to listen... do your part and you'll ace her class.
Leigh was an awsome teacher Deffinatly take her if you can. she tests on her notes and the study guide. you know both and you are set. She is very easy to talk to and is willing to help. One of the best profs that I have ever had.
She is a very good teacher who makes learning easy
Mrs.Kleinert is a great teacher! Taker her for as many classes you need that she teaches.Great prof.knows A LOT and knows how to teach her students!!! Good Job Leigh! YOu deserve an award!
This is an excellent instructor!!You work off an outline...so there are no surprises. She came from GVSU...they can have Drain back but not her! She is profesional, organized, and really knows her stuff. Our class was TH pm, she had our grades online by Fri am-that was a lab and a lecture! She must have been up all night. Thank you,Leigh,You Rock!
Her class was wonderful. She didn't give you every little detail, just the basics. She relates it to everyday life. She is a very happy person, and is really relaxed when it comes to everything. Except if you have her for lab, you have to spell everything correctly. Otherwise she is great!
the course is not easy, but i got an A. she is very helpful and straightforward. easiest member of the science staff at grcc in my opinion. god luck
she is very straight forward with her lecture notes and her lecture during class. She is a very nice professor. If you have a question to ask her she always have a answer and she explains it so that you can understand it.
Very friendly and funny. Explains and describes things so that they are easily understood. Always available to answer questions and is happy to help. Also, she gives extra credit. Great Prof!
Leigh is the best professor I have ever had! You must take her class! Also, get her for lecture and lab, you won't regret it! I wish I needed more science classes so I could be under her teaching again! TAKE HER CLASS!!!
TAKE LEIGH'S CLASS!!! Leigh is the best professor I have ever had! Get her for lecture and lab if you can!! She is very smart, helpful, and easy going! You'll love her class!
Professor Klienert is one of the best profs I have had. The BI121 and 122 classes are intense. Leigh's class is straight forward and organized. She has great ways of turning something confusing into something understandable. She also really cares about how her students do, so she was great!
She is a very helpful Prof. She knows what she is talking about, and gives a lot of examples to allow students better understanding. I highly recommend her for BI 121!!
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!! She made everything so easy to understand. She also draws on the board a lot which helps in learning the material. Make sure you get her for lecture AND lab. I had her for lecture and not lab but she did sub for my lab once and it was so much easier than normal. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!!
Awesome teacher, easy, comprehensible, and EXTREMELY helpful. HIGHLY recommended, take her for an anatomy classes
the best a+p teacher by far at grcc you learn alot but she makes it easy anyone who wants to take a+p should take her easy A
Leigh is one of the best college professors I have had, even after earning a degree at WMU. THe info is very clear, concise, and accomplishable. Her expectations are very clear.
Mrs. Kleinert is such a terrific professor. She is smart, funny and helpful at all times. I had her for lecture and lab for 121. I would recommend her for 122 also if available. I dont think you'll get an easy "a" but if you do your part such as study and use her powerpoint notes you will indeed pass!
This is a very good proessor.She makes everything crystal clear by using different ways of teaching. She draws pictures of different things, plays games, does alot of group work. I hope to have her for BI 122 also.
great teacher!!!!
There is no such thing as an 'easy A' in A & P, but Leigh's class is as easy as you're going to get but it is that way because she teaches with great clarity. It's a rare treat to have an instructor that is as intelligent as Leigh but knows how to break things down to a beginner level. Seriously the BEST A & P instructor! Her tests are crystal cl
Awesome and interesting instructor. She made the class fun and educational for all.
The BEST A&P teacher at GRCC, hands down. She breaks everything down and if you study your notes and learn the essay questions that she hands out, you can get an A! There ar no surprises and she is very helpful with a terrific personality!!
Best techer you could have! It is my third time having her as a teacher, and I would again if I could. She gives you outlines to follow and Learning Objectives to follow for test studying. She welcomes you to come for extra help if needed. Now undersatnd, the material is hard, but she does everything possible to help you learn it. Time is needed
Best Teacher Ever!! Very helpful. Uses a lot of diagrams to help you understand what?s going on with the human body! I would recommend using her PP to study for the lab exams!!!
Not a lot of writing in this class. Do outlines, essay questions for each unit, and study then you'll be ready for the tests.
She makes learning very fun. Before the tests, she does review games. Her lectures are clear, concise and very interesting. She wants to make sure all her students understand.She loves her job and you can tell. Very awesome teacher!
Very good teacher. Before every test, she gives out practive review. Explains everything clearly. She's also helpful.
hard class but worth it, she is a really, really good professor
Mrs. Kleinert actually made me enjoy science again! You are graded on quizzes and exams in her class, there is no homework. But you should study every night! She does a ton of pictures in the notes and they're so helpful. She is an amazing teacher!
Nice professor and very helpful. Easy questions on the test.
Great teacher, she offers a great deal of help and clarity but her class can be challenging, you need to work for your grade. I had her for lab also, and she was great teacher for that. I would highly recommend her..
Extremely helpful professor!! She's the best! Makes this hard subject easy! I won't say more - if only you can ... add her!!
Kleinert is amazing!!...she is sooo helpful and hilarious!! she loves animations,..and she repeats things she will be putting on the test. for the essays just do them all each night and then you will be fine. Of course check it with her to make sure u did them right. Her notes are so easy to follow..and shes a hoot!
Professor Kleinert is a great instructor. Makes learning Anatomy a lot of fun. Thanks for a great two semesters
Professor Leigh is amazing! She is not only an amazing teacher who knows her stuff, but is the most caring, kindhearted, and understanding person. Biology isn't one of my strongest subjects but if you go to class, pay attention, take notes, and study you will do just fine! Take her lab too! Her tests are straight forward and easy if you studied.
Absolutely loved her! Very helpful & encouraging.
Leigh is an amazing prof. she will do whatever it takes to make sure that you are grasping the concepts that shes teaching. shes also one of the nicest people that I've ever met. she genuinely cares about her students and has a passion for what she teaches. I'm pre-med and I wish I could have her for every bio class that I need to take. I recommend
She was so understanding and kind, and a really really good teacher. It was an open class; if you didn't understand something she would answer you.
Helpful and easy to understand.
She is so nice. I really recommend her. She explains everything in detail, draws out whats happening and play little videos for the visual. She does not use the textbook in lecture or lab, but it might be helpful for lab. And for her tests, use the learning objectives as a study guide and know the answers to "questions to ponder".
She is absolutely amazing! super sweet and makes her lectures very clear. She will always direct you to what is on the quizzes and tests and is easy going. I would defiantly take her again. This class (anatomy) does involve a good about of work but she makes it fun and reasonable. I had her for both lecture and lab.
Professor Kleinert is the by far the best professor I had in anatomy. She is so clear and so easy to understand. I don't usually rate professors on here but she is worth taking! she cares about her students and if you have any questions about the material she is always there to help! (:
Professor Kleinert is SO helpful, and extremely nice! She will do anything to help you do well in the class! Take her if you ever have the chance!
Great professor! She really wants you to succeed. Interesting class as well. If you are a visual learner, this is the class for you!
She was an amazing teacher, I love anatomy so I'm really glad the teacher didn't ruin the subject for me like multiply teachers in the pass. A group of girls and me became really close during her class studying and meeting her before and after classes. We all passes and really enjoyed our time together
I had Leigh for the lab of BI117. She was absolutely amazing, making a difficult topic easy to understand. She has a great energy, and was able to explain and answer any questions anyone may have had. Attendance is mandatory as it is only once a week, but it's not bad at all. I would gladly take her in any future classes.
Professor Kleinert is just wonderful! I will take her for all of my science classes if given the choice. She cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. She made the hard class easy to understand. Gives extra credits and her lectures are fun. Wish all professors are like her, Very professional and most of all KIND.
Professor Kleinert is an amazing. She is the best professor I have ever had. She makes a difficult class easier to understand. She offers extra credit options. Very professional and cares about her students. She is always willing to help you during her office hours if needed. I would highly recommend taking any of her classes
She is amazing! She explains everything very well!
Professor Kleinert was such a great teacher, especially when A&P is such a hard subject! She made it fun to learn and is very caring about her students and how they're doing in the class.
She is the best person you will ever meet and has a very kind heart. She knows how to teach and explain everything very well. I am not strong in Anatomy, but she just explains everything so good, I actually understand everything and enjoy going to her class! She also cares about her students a lot! I suggest to take her for lab and lecture!
I recommend taking Prof Leigh Kleinert's A&P, she makes the subject less overwhelming and more interesting. She makes it clear as to how her tests are laid out and what materials are to be studied. She doesn't give out graded homework but setting aside a few hours of studying per week is to your advantage! She is truly amazing and knowledgeable.
The best professor Ive ever had. She explains a hard topic in a way where its easy to understand. She will do anything to help you succeed. One extra credit opportunity. She made me realize my love for science because her passion is contagious! Take her if you have the opportunity!!!
OMG I cannot explain in words how awsome Mrs Kleinert was. She explained everything thoroughly and I was never left wondering what was expected of me. She is such an amazing person inside and out. Totally recommend her to anyone. This was my first biology class ever so the fact that I passed with an A means so much.
She is the best! She cares about her students soo much
I learned so much from her and very unlike the typical college professor. Very caring, wants you to do well and willing to help. Always looked forward to this class. Looking for her for second semester anatomy.
Phenomenal professor that gives great notes. Her tests are easy if you study for them.
Great professor! Really cares about her students and wants to see you succeed. If you have a problem or don't understand something she will help you. Tests are based exactly off of the study guides she gives.
By far the best professor I have ever had here at grcc! She is so caring. So amazing! Makes sure that you know what is going to be on the test and you're prepared. She just plain out great. I would take her class again for this subject!
Amazing professor! For such a hard topic she does an amazing job of making sure the students are well taking care of and know exactly what to look for when it comes to exam day.
Just plain out amazing! I loved every minute of her class. Her tests are easy if you study but she makes sure you are well on prepared! So caring and funny too!
Professor Kleinert is amazing! She made a very hard class entertaining and easy to learn. Dont miss class or you will miss a lot. She is easily accessible outside of class and cares about her students. She does a good job of relating content to real life healthcare applications. Would totally take her class over.
Best teacher you will get for a biology class. she makes sure you understand the material and understands your needs outside the classroom.
Prof Kleinert is the best I have had for any class at GRCC. She is extremely knowledgable and easy to talk to/access with questions or concerns in lecture or lab. She clearly cares about her students and their success and makes sure you are well prepared for everything. I would defiantly take her again! highly recommend!
Leigh Kleinert was the best professor I have ever had the pleasure of having. She will do anything and everything to give her students the opportunity to be successful in her class and she is beyond helpful if you ever are unable to attend class. She keeps her lectures interesting and she covers all the material needed to be do well in her class.
Leigh Kleinert was my favorite professor this past semester. Her lectures were interesting and easy to follow, she was very passionate, and she cares a lot for her students. She is there for you if you need any help both in her class and was willing to help with any other academic-related questions. I hope I can get her for BI 121.
This has been the best experience I have had in a classroom. She was so good at explaining things and coming up with tips to help you remmber
I took a chance on these reviews and signed up for both Lab and Lecture for 117 with her. It was the right choice. She's engaging and cares about you understanding the material. I struggled in 121 and had to go back to the beginners course. She made me confident that I can take on the harder biology course and then some. She's worth taking 100%
I love professor Kleinert and would definitely take her again. Shes so down to earth and understanding and really cares for her students. Her outlines really coordinate with the learning objectives so its a good way to study for the exams. She also has extra credit opportunities and I recommend taking her for both lecture and lab.
WOW YOU MUST TAKE HER IF YOU'RE TAKING BI117. PROFESSOR K, IT'S ONE OF THE BEST THAT I HAD, HER LECTURES ARE VERY WELL OUTLINED AND SHE ALSO GIVES REVIEWS FOR UPCOMING TEST!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT HER FOR BI121 AND BI122
I took her class in the fall of 2019. She is great! Outlines her lectures and has great study guides for tests. You will know what is exactly on the exams. She uses visual aids to help understand concepts. Her classes always fill up fast, so I didn't have the opportunity to take her for the second half of A&P. If she ever has openings, take it!
She is a really good teacher
I love professor Kleinert so much!! Ive been at GRCC full time for a year now and she is still my absolute favorite!! She takes time to answer all questions and makes the class very interactive and fun!!
DO NOT TAKE ANYONE ELSE!!!! Professor K is AMAZING! Am def taking her for 121/122. Cannot go wrong with this prof. Explains well- excellent visuals- clear expectations-Readily answers questions- and works with you when you need help. Smaller lectures online helps you stay organized. She makes Biology relevant. She welcomes and uses feedback.
Recommend her! Very kind, organized and knowledgeable.
Hard class, but she is available to help you. She gives thorough lectures and notes. Very good Professor especially since we are online.
If you have the opportunity to take her. PLEASE DO, she is caring, cares about her students, great reviews, great notes. GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!!! I HAVE PROFESSOR K FOR BI122.
If I would have her for every class I would. JUST SO HELPFUL AND UNDERSTANDING. Cares about her Students and also offers a lot of help. Provides a Study Guide which it's very good. I got a C on this class because my lab Professor wasn't that great and used very difficult pictures. FOR SURE TAKE Professor K!
Professor K recently underwent teaching the HNRS capstone course and she absolutely fits the role. She is so caring of students and wants everyone to succeed, despite their struggles at home or with school. She is responsive to emails and thorough in feedback. If you have the chance, take her for any and all classes. She's a gem!!
Professor Kleinert is funny, caring, and enjoyable to be have as instructor. If you study your SPO's you will pass her tests. She gives out some extra credit. She's willing to work with you if you have any kind of troubles. I would take a class with her again, if I could. 100% recommended!
The best professor I ever had. I was very scared to take BI 121 before her, but it turned out to be my easiest class of the semester thanks to her. Take her and you'll pass!
She makes the lecture very approachable even though I do not like biology that much. Group activities and review questions help improving exam grade. She encourages questions and discussion.
Loved having her as my professor. She was very relatable and made sure we were all involved and understood what was expected.
Prof Kleinert is probably the best profs i have had so far. I previously struggled in 121 so decided to take 117 before attempting 121 again. Immediately I noticed that she knows what she is talking about and explains everything in understandable terms and related things to real life. You can tell she cares about her students
She taught well, gave great feedback, & made me feel understood, seen, heard, & accepted. She was also an amazing support system for my team, constantly checking in on us, ensuring we were on the right track with our projects & had everything we needed. I felt closer & more connected to her, better than your typical professor-student relationship.
LOVED THIS PROFESSOR!!! its obvious she wants you to succeed. Her material was well explained and gave great feedback and help if needed. I did fail her class but it was due to lab mostly so not on her I will enroll in bi121 again fingers crossed she's both my lab and lecture prof!!
Course work is incredibly clear and concise with more than enough resources available for success. Provides outlines, learning objectivese, practice tests, and practical application assignments as well as extra credit. Information is provided as well through involved and clear lecture videos and textbook chapters. Would recommend.
Great professor. Gives you literally everything you need to succeed and very willing to help. Encourages group work. Great lectures. Easy grading. Not homework or test heavy which is nice. Prioritizes real learning over just getting the grades. She definitely cares about her students and it's pretty rare to see that.
She was an absolute amazing teacher. She is the kind of teacher that is harder to come by, she teaches great in her lectures, she cares about every individual in her class, and she is very accessible through email and in office hours. Ask a question and she takes her time to make you understand. I would 100% take her class again.
Amazing teacher, hard to come by these kinds of professors. She did amazing at teaching even though online, she cared about every individual student, and she absolutely was accessible through email and office hours. When questions asked she never made you feel dumb or less than. Study the learning objectives, study, and there are no problemsPassing
Loved her, very kind and was very easy to follow her class
She is very understanding and always willing to help out with any questions. The layout of her class is very easy to follow and makes lecture less scary and stressful. She is a great professor
Please take her, I only have a bad grade due to me not studying enough. She's an amazing professor sooo kind and sweet. She's makes learning fun, ask questions she will help you. Go to office hours to get one and one time with her, she's an amazing professor. Just advice study anatomy at least 2 hours a day it does help for the long run.
Professor K is hands down the best professor I've had in college thus far. Very accommodating and extremely helpful. Gives multiple resources and ways to study, so you can succeed. She genuinely cares about her students and does her best to help however she can. She also responds quickly to emails. Def Take her class if you get the opportunity.
Professor Kleinart is an angel.She intelligent,caring,understanding and very involved in your learning. I am going back to college in my 30s and she inspires me. IF YOU READ STUDY AND DO EVERYTHING SHE SAY YOU WILL GET AN A. She honestly sets you up for true success. If you dont put the work in thats your fault shes the blueprint
