Very enthusiastic with her teachings, MC exams, but assignments were DUMB.

love her classes - makes you think and express yourelf. comparative

She is a blast. Highly reccommend her classes

Great to have lectures that aren't simply a rehash of the text!

Good Prof - actually wants me to learn! uncommon as that is.

good class, good prof

Booooring! Time has never gone this slow.

A little boring at times. Can't tell if she's being sarcastic or not.

she makes it really interesting

interesting!!!!

excellent class!!!

she taught me something

She's good, makes you think - philosophical in class. Tests are more based on reading material. Must memorize lots of terminology for test, but if you do, you'll do fine.

Brilliant, funny and interesting.

all good

this was one of the easiest classes ever we got 15/15 just for completing log books, and had the opportunity of getting a 5% bonus.. take this class if you are stupid and suck at university

Very interesting class! Most exams were based on text material.

Excellent prof. Tests are easy and are based on in-class notes. Textbook is there to help you understand the notes. She makes the class so interesting. You take down notes as she talks, so you don't have to just copy from a chalkboard or powerpoint.

mostly interesting

she is ok

This was a really interesting class, but also challenging at times. Make sure you go to the lectures, because the book does not cover everything she discusses.

enjoyuable

love her class...she's a wealth of info and i learnt interesting things all the time...contrary to one of the ratings she a fair marker and more than generous. I had her re-examine a paper of mine and my grade went UP. I like her cause she makes you think!

class is intresting, prof is fair

Oh goodness, she is not a so-called 'Christian hater,' she's just objective and doesn't cater to whiny people. Her class setup is interesting and creative, and while it can be challenging, I've found her to be both flexible and approachable. Thought-provking lectures. Good prof!

Great class. Leona is funny...great interpersonal skills. Loved her class

Leona is absolutely amazing. if you come to the class with an open, objective mind, you should do fine.

excellent prof

learnd a lot from this prof

Leona is a pretty good prof. She covers a lot of material in class and is very knowledgable about the material. I swear she knows about every religion there is. The tests are kind of stupid and are WAYYYYY too long for a 50 minute class. The assignments are straight forward but she is a brutal marker on them. Besides that, good prof.

Leona is a nice woman and I enjoyed her class. I think she could have done a little better on covering the course material. If given the option write the papers, not the tests. The exams are nearly impossible to finish and are extremely difficult. Assignments were relatively easy.

exams are tough but you lean a lot

I luv religious studies, so you cant go wrong

invested in students who really want to learn and are willing to critically analyze themselves as much as the material. If self-awareness of your assumptions is not your thing, STAY HOME!!! She is tough, but also supportive; I marked for her and did not want to fail students who tried hard. If you want to do no thinking or work, do not take class.

wow...its been a few years since i took something with leona but i have one of her classes in the fall and i think that she i great. easy assignments and exams, funny and extremely NON judgemental...

I really liked her...I didn't know much about RLST before taking this class and she really broadened my mind. You have to know how to take notes in this class and you have to study...but it was enjoyable and I would suggest it to my friends

She's an awesome lady who teaches an awesome class. Broaden your horizons by learning a little about a lot from a very good prof. She's clear about what she expects and ensures that you have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss things. Totally awesome experience which I highly recommend!

She was a good prof. She marked essay very fairly and encouraged people to think for themselves and form their own opinions about the material, and encouraged class descussion on those opinions. I would definately take another class with her, in fact I am this spring.

Leona Anderson is a good professor. She explains concepts in simple everyday language, encourages class discussion & uses images to complement her lectures. Do not buy the textbook, it was never used. She does however have difficult exams requiring a lot of study time & her demands for her papers I feel are unreasonable. Also, lectures were boring.

I'm not sure I understand all the terrible comments--sure, she may not be the best professor I've had but she is good. I found her lectures organized and interesting. She encouraged a lot of class discussion and seemed to enjoy hearing our opinions. She has tough but very fair expectations, and you can do well in her class.

too much information but fair and informtive. Gd class to make you think

I was kind of put off by the negative comments on this site. However i am glad i took the class anyways. Leona was awesome very understanding, gives you lots of opition to make the class your own. You get the opition (2times) of a presentation, paper, or exam. Followed by 3 assignments and a small exam. She is wonderful and i reccomend her x 9!

This class was decently interesting, and the marking was quite fair. If given the option do the presentations. Classmates said that the tests, while not hard were way too long for the time given. Overall it was a decent enough class, could be a bit dry at points though.

A Great prof, you may not agree with her all the time but she is open for any opinion and ideas. a very relaxed way of teaching and an outstanding person. if you do not learn any thing from his class you would still learn enough from her which will last you for life. Interested in religious studies try her.

Class is graded on 5 assignments and 5 forum posts. For all 10 of these, use scholarly resources from both the course and ones that you found doing your own research. Use her feedback to improve you grade. Go above the word limit for assignments and posts to get a better grade. Use examples to prove your points. Great prof and interesting class.

I don't know what her lectures are like since I took an online course but she was easy to reach, she gave good feedback, and assignments were graded quickly. For each unit (including reading chapters, forum discussions and case assignments) I put in about 10 hours of work.

You have to read the textbook and do some independent research for assignments, but it's nothing unreasonable. Leona was very clear in her expectations and if you follow them, you will get a good mark. Leona encouraged an open mind when approaching all religions and was very knowledgeable. I would take another class taught by her again.

Leona was knowledgeable about the content in the course and nice to talk to if you had any q's. The course itself consisted of about 10 lengthy forum posts/responses and 5 research assignments. There was no mandatory textbook as there were online resources available. Put the work in and you get a good mark. Was a VERY interesting class on cults.

Leona knows her subject, is highly organized and gives constructive feedback. Class requirements/expectations are clearly stated. Assignments are marked in a timely manner. I thoroughly enjoyed this on-line class and learned a lot; the subject matter was very interesting. I was really impressed with her!

I am surprised that Dr. Anderson has so many poor ratings. I thought she was quite nice. 268 was a web delivered class. There are no exams or lectures. You are required to do a lot of reading and submit 10 assignments. If you are good at time management and listen to her feedback it's a fairly easy/enjoyable course.

This class was fairly tough but work hard and you will be okay. Leona is a very sweet lady, this is the second class I have taken with her. Do not let the reviews on here scare you. She expects a lot from you which is not a bad thing. 5 forum posts, 5 lengthier assignments. No textbook, miderm or final. Would take her again!

Leona is a very nice and caring prof. She was always willing to help and accommodate students. Honestly I was confused on some of these reviews. As long as you put in the effort you will do great in this class.

This was a web class. Quite heavy, 5 large assignments and 5 detailed forum posts. (I took it as a spring class so it was quite heavy). Anderson is a fairly heavy marker. I am in third year and got an 82% but the class average was 67%. So fairly hard.

I really enjoyed Professor Anderson's class on New Religious Movements. Instead of using a textbook she provides a plethora of chapters/scolarly articles, etc. to read. While it is a lot of reading and writing every week the articles and such she picks are VERY interesting! I learned a lot and would totally take another class from her.

I enjoyed this class a lot, there were assignments and forum posts almost every week but the content was always interesting. One of the best online classes I've ever taken - no tests!! If u want a tip on getting good grades, be insightful!! and make up your own theories!! - don't just recite what is written in the readings/lectures.
