Very sweet and patient professor. Gave review guides that helped a lot. Def recommend her. Test were fair and she gave chances to earn extra credit.
She is very helpful but her exams were very hard. Be prepared to study your butt off. People this is college be prepared to do the work. If you want a good grade meet her during her office hours and talk to her about the class. Ask for more extra credit it might help b/c she is very reasonable. I did and I got an A
When I saw her reviews, I was not sure if I really wanted to take this class. After classes started, I realized that she is a good professor. She gives a review sheet for each exam, and work for extra credit if you need it. You need to keep up with the reading in order to pass the class. Exams are fairly easy. Overall, It was an easy class for me.
She is not that great. All i have to say is make sure you dont miss a test and show up on time and your'll probably pass. Other than that she needs teaching lessons! ASAP!
I am still enrolled in her class but she is nice and her class is interesting. She almost always let's up out 30-45 min early!
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!
Took her class online, we had to meet 1x a month for testing. Overall should?ve been an easy A however she mistakenly didn?t input one of my assignments which lowered my grade. I tried to contact her to no avail. I recommend her but keep an eye on your grade.
She's amazing.. the best class.. you actually want to attend. over all easy writing intensive course since it's mainly about you the writing
This class was a bit more work than I expected for a Health class. The material itself was definitely interesting, you learn a lot about yourself and how you deal with the stress in your life, and effective ways to cope. Required us to do a presentation and 8 page paper towards the end of the semester. I found her to be a bit of a harsh grader.
Professor Lesley Rennis was a very knowledgable and fun professor. She kept the course interesting with engaging activities, stimulating assignments and interesting media relating to course material. I give her five stars for the information retained in her class that will serve long term health benefits throughout my life.
I took her for Stress management and she was great. Her class is really interesting and fun her test were easy and common sense. She is also very generous about grading take her shes an easy A. :)
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. Yes you get work but you can tell she loves her students and wants everyone to pass. Her class was fun and interesting there wasnt a day i didnt want to be i that class. taking her again next semester.
Very nice professor. Her teaching style is engaging and kept me interested. You learn a lot of things that will be useful for the rest of your life. Tests are easy, there are a few homeworks, there is an end of semester paper, and a presentation. Not a boring class and she gives you exactly the grade you earned. Take her!
Just took her Summer I online class, very glad I did. There are weekly discussions, a couple of very easy assignments, and 4 tests. The tests were kind of hard, but they are open book (perhaps this is why they a bit more difficult). Read the chapters assigned, be active on her discussions and you will do well. Fair grader and gives extra credit.
Professor Rennis is so sweet and calm.. It is a very relaxing class to take (stress management) and you will learn a lot about different techniques in order to be less stressful. i can highly recommend this class.
This class was writing intensive but it was super easy. Prof Rennis is really easygoing and made the class very interesting. She only gave us one paper of like 7 pages and let us choose our own topic. Tests were a bit hard and the review sheets did not help at all but she gave many opportunities for extra credit. easy A if you study and participate
Amazing! She makes class really interesting in her techniques and relaxed domineor. All the material is not covered in class so you have to read your textbook! If you study, you will definitely pass. The material is interesting and she always tries to make it relative to real life. She's the reason I changed my major to community health. LOVE!
One of my favorite professors at BMCC. You can tell she is passionate about community health and her students. She does give a lot of tests and really doesn't offer much extra credit. She lets you know where you are in the class and if you need help, she is always available. Frequent quizzes but she always provides a study guide. Don't be late!
It might be a shame that I haven't known her personally since I took an online class in Winter 2016, but I learned new things from Professor Rennis, such as bipolar disorder, or eustress. Professor Rennis gave me and my class a choice to buy either a hard copy of a textbook or ebook, and I chose ebook for my convenience. She's the best.
She's a great lecturer. Some quizzes here and there that only adds points and doesn't hurt your grade. Some fun group interactive learning activities. As long as you take notes and study she's an easy A. Her lectures are interesting and you gain a lot of learning out of her class. I believe we had 4 exams total which are based on her lectures.
Hands down the best professor I've had at BMCC. You can really learn a lot from her. She truly cares about students!
Taking her online class was a real test in patience. A lot of the material was not there, her organizational skills could stand to improve (navigating her course materials was a nightmare), and it was always very unclear what was due when. She would take days to correspond via email, so asking questions or dialoguing material was nearly impossible.
Professor Rennis is a altogether great professor who cares about her students education , very approachable, and understanding. Her class structure prepares students for Senior College ,I highly recommend her as a professor.
This class was interesting and I really learned a lot. Professor Rennis seems like a really nice and caring teacher. This was my very first online class and I honestly was a little scare do because didn't know what to expect, but I'm happy I made the right decision and take this class. I recommend you take this professor you will learn a lot .
Prof. Rennis is a MUST! She is not only a great person who really cares about her students but she gives the most amazing lectures in every subject. I had the opportunity to have her in three different health classes and if it wasn't because I am graduating, I would've picked her again! She is very smart, sweet and always open to help! THE BEST!!!
A bit disorganized and rather difficult to understand. I've taken numerous online courses and this was the first one that I've struggled to understand. She gives weekly quizzes that truly require critical thinking at times and very very tricky! She is rather fair but makes it very difficult to do well. Get ready to READ READ READ!!!
I learned a great deal. The class was online and she had everything organized in folders and easy to follow. The quizzes were every week but all the information was in the textbook. She always responded to my emails quickly and even had an online review session for the final. I would take her again. Very fair.
I took the online class but met with her. You should go see her, she has really good advice about taking online classes and about life in general. She really cares about what she does. Great professor!
Good class, leaned a lot. Easy A.
Professor Rennis is amazing! I learned so much from her and class was fun. She taught me things I will never forget. The group project was hard but at first no one wanted to do it but then we all really got into it. We actually didn't want the semester to end.
professor rennis is the best learned so much in her class. she actually made learning fun. if you come to class which you will want to you will have fun and learn hands down one of the best professors at bmcc.
Professor Rennis had office hours several times a week when she could be reached. Overall was flexible, clear, and helpful; she definitely knows her stuff and is a great professor to have. I ended up with an A in the class and would recommend others take it with her too!
Great online class learned a lot about alternative medicine. easy to follow.
If you want to learn, take Professor Rennis' class. I learned sooo much! I'm so happy I took her, she made me excited about health.
Professor Rennis is the best! I wish all my health professors were like her.
She did require attendance but gave point when you attended. she did not take off point for not attending she just didn't give points if you wasn't there. i like her class, learned a lot and she was really nice.
learned so much. she really cares about teaching and her students. wrote me a great recommendation.
Best online class I've taken at BMCC. Very clear and topics are interesting.
Rennis is the best!
Her class makes you think and she's very clear about grading. Not tricks or pop quizzes. I would take her again.
Best professor efver. Take her!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Professor Rennis! You're crazy if u don't.
When I had read some of the comments I wasnt' sure I would like this class but I love it! Its so much fun prof rennis is amazing. i feel like she really cares and wants me to pass.
where do i begin. professor rennis is the best she really cares about her students and really works with you to make sure you do good she also teaches you stuff about life and how to succeed one of the best professors at bmcc.
Best HED professor by far.
Shes so sweet and makes her lessons so easy to understand. Its so easy to keep up with her. Shes very fair.
Great class.
She's a great Professor who cares about their students and makes sure we're doing fine in her class. Attendance is mandatory if you miss a lot your grade will definitely drop. You have to also study because she will quiz you on her lectures.
Best online class I've taken at BMCC. Very clear on grading and she will make sure you pass. If you to the work.
REally good online class. I learned a lot and it was easy to follow.
I took her HED 110 class online and it was so easy and I learned a lot all I had to do was a discussion board and a quiz every week
I LOVED PROF. RENNIS! I really learned a lot in her class. The group project was hard tho but honeslty it is worth it. If you really wanna learn, take her.
I used to think I didnt like history but prof Rennis teaches in a way that makes it so interesting. She helped me understand how history impacts us. She makes learning fun and exciting!
I would take only online classes if Professor Rennis taught them. her class was so organized and interesting. i looked forward to working on the discussion and learning from her posts. she guided the class and helped us to learn what we needed to know. the quizzes were fair.
great class. learned a lot and she made the material interesting. she cares about her students. gave us great life advice.
best online class i ever took. learned alot of stuff i didn't know really interesting stuff that everyone should know no matter what your major is.
Best and most organized online class i've ever took. Take her, the discussions were interesting and fun.
she's amzing. the lectures really make you think i wasn't expecting to learn much but i was so wrong. you should really take this class. i almost wish i had taken it in person but it was really organized and easy to follow online.
I would have loved this class but the reality is, I ended up hating it!!. She is quite a tough grader!!! Even though I did everything right (except I failed one quiz) she gave me a B+. That will low my so far, impeccable 4.0 GPA!
I believe this class is very helpful when you need to learn how to manage your stress levels. She is very clear about what she wants from her students for the beginning. Quizzes are timed, she provides all the reading material, everything you need to know for the quiz, DB are reflections on your daily life and how can you better it.
I learned so much about life from Professor Rennis. The quizzes were easy. But I learned stuff that improved my life.
Decent prof. Very easy timed weekly quizzes. Pretty sure I only got a C+ because i missed a few discussion board posts :/. Think I might take the class again. Final was SUPER easy, passed with 86%. I just wish she gave us more chances for extra credit. There was only one where we could attend a 5K Run/Walk but i missed that.
best class i've taken so far i thought it would be boring but i actually learned a lot.
i really enjoyed this class it really helped me undeerstand everything that is going on. she was really understanding.
the most organized class i've ever taken and i learned so much about life. take take take her.
This class was so easy going, I really appreciated that she didn't overwhelm her students with the workload, especially in these times, clearly she's thoughtful.
Professor Rennis is a nice lady, so this review isn't an attack on her character. She's a bit disorganized in my opinion. A very tough grader and gave a pointless group project for the course HED 301. It's a pandemic, why do we need to do any group project? She expected us to know how to reach out to complete strangers in the course. Got a C. Pass!
EASY CLASS! Each week you have a module with things to do, every week is the same and you have exactly a week to do it. Each week consists of Chapters to read, Powerpoint slides on the chapters, small videos some days, a discussion board post, and a quiz of 25 questions. Her quizzes and final and midterms are all on Quizlet. She drops your lowest 2
Really good course personally learned a lot and the group project showed me things I didnt know about my community. Everything was easy to follow especially if you showed up to class.
Very understanding. Never forced anyone to present or participate if they're uncomfortable. As long as you pass assignments/exams you will do great. Always available outside of class.
Very helpful, good teacher and invested in helping you learn.
I love this class! I'm learning a lot and she makes it fun.
Good professor but is a bit unorganized. We had a week to complete the assignments,quizzes, and discussion board till the next class time. Those werent posted a few days after. We never had time to complete the work because they werent posted on the days they were supposed to be posted.
One of the best professors at Bmcc. The class was straight forward and filled same weekly schedules. I learned a lot.
One of the best professors!
Overall good class, interesting material. I would have been down for more readings. Enjoyed the discussion boards and assignments.
Miss Rennis is truly an inspiration. She is the reason I changed my major from Nursing to Public Health. Very calm and collective Professor and she works well with her students
Professor Rennis is a wonderful teacher. She was clear about the material. Her class was very engaging and interesting and she is a great mentor!
I really like the way she teaches and help us to learn with her great feedback. Miss Rennis is very kind and patient. I love her teaching syles and the way she make us work together
Professor is very good and she takes her time to respond to students .
Really good class.
Awesome
I really enjoyed and learned a lot from Professor Rennis. The group project was really interesting and fun. Read the textbook and attend class and you'll do fine.
really good class i learned a lot of stuff i didn't know you have to pay attention and read the textbook the final project is a little hard but interesting
just too much.
one of the only real college classes where i actually learned something.
Professor Rennis was incredibly difficult to deal with. She's a tough grader and was very insensitive to what others were going through.
good class if you want to learn
This professor is well-educated and passionate about what she teaches but is adamant about grading. A test is done in every class, discussion boards are mandatory and the final was exhausting. Be aware of Hw if you don't pay attention you will fail!
This professor was exhausting. Lots of homework, quiz at the beginning of every class session, and exams are ridiculously long with barely any time to complete them. No extra credit opportunities and no assignment make ups or extensions. Just too much
Just do the work. Every assignment is connected to the final assignment. Quizzes are easy.
Took class to learn and I did.
Easy if you do the work every week. Same assignments due every week and she goes over tests. Just listen and learn.
Expect to put in the work - everything connects to the final assignment. Quizzes are manageable, but exams are quite challenging. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for study prep alongside the textbook. Overall, a demanding yet rewarding class.
Her test books are extremely expensive and you will fail you don't buy them.
