Great Powerpionts, interesting...Good lecturer

too easy to be worthi while. take 211 so you dont waste time.

I think she did a great job!

She is a very motivated and energetic professor, who dedicates all of her time to the course and working with students willingly. She also has made great fashion out of tennis shoes.

Good lecturer. Easy A course.

great lectures...

She did a great job. Her part of the course was very easy. She was more that willing to help those who needed extra help. She was a good lecturer....and I loved the tennis shoes, britany spears head set microphone, and skirt with a blaser.

Hate this subject, but Dr. Blair made this class outstanding. Her teaching ability is outstanding, and she is a pioneer in the use of technology in teaching. The running shoes have become a trademark- but when you are that attractive anything looks good.

Fairly easy test, except she didn't tell us what to study from the textbook and she didn't put her lecture notes online. Thus, many students went into the test not really knowing some of what to expect. The pre-lecture Shake Your Booty has got to go.

Great lecturer, made the material intersting and related it to things going on in the world!

Class is worthlessly easy, but Extremely well laid out. Professor is extremely well organized, and the lectures are well worth going to (unlike lab/recitation). Love the tennis shoes and skirts too...

She's a FANTASTIC teacher, I love how she'd be willing to help any student in need. And It's great how she knows what she's talking about. it helps the entire outlook of bio. I've found a new love for Bio.

Students can tell she really loves biology, and her love for the subject helps make it interesting. I've learned more in her class than in all my high school biology classes combined.

The labs are only worth 5 points. The tests make up like 80% of your grade.

helpful in class and willing to help at anytime, as long as you are willing to put forth the time!

I hate this subject but she made it very easy to learn and comprehend... Lectures weren't a total dread and pretty easy to come out with a good grade. Tests make up most of grade but not a worry since multi-choice and easy...the only pain in the butt lab

The class is hard!, but the teaching was excellent!!! test was kinnda tricky but Dr Blair was sooo dammm clear! Over all i like this teacher but i hate bio still. I got a C in this class but it's my laziness that i never study!

Very nice, really peppy. If you go in and talk to her she really cool and sincere. I wish there were more teachers like her at OSU.

My favorite class and teacher of all freshman year. Interesting lectures and very helpfull. Not hard to get good grades if you come to class!

I hate Bio, but Lesley is totally willing to help every student succeed. She is clear, understandable, & organized. There is no guessing about what she expects you to know.

Great teacher. Super enthusiastic about biology, and very friendly. Really willing to help students understand course material. Labs are really easy and the instructors are all great. The tests can be tricky at times, wording can be weird.

Ms. Blair is totally great. I didn't want to take another science class, but her lecture's are so organized and she leads them well. I was impressed and easily pulled off an A!

pretty easy class, have to be at class to get all the info. Read the book and you'll be fine

Easy class, easy grade, can't say the same for the TA.

I always hated bio, but she makes bio fun. She is very into the subject and teaches it very well. But I can't say the same for the TA.

Very nice person. She teaches very well. Her lectures are probably the unboringest in any bio class i've been in. She makes things easy. The lab was kinda ghetto and dumb but she's a good teacher.

great teacher

Great Teacher, Engergetic about what she teaches- too bad more teachers cant be like her-

Just awesome. Made the lectures fun, and she was always willing to help.

Most worthless class I have ever taken in my entire life. But Blair made it better. Skirts and running shoes do go together, finally!!

Very interesting lectures. Not a sleeping class!

Her lectures are great and she's a good speaker, but the material is 8th grade level. Boring, but easy. Nice hips.

Very Very good teacher

Great teacher, always easy to get ahold of during office hours and beyond. I missed over a week of class because of illness and she really helped me out. The TA was awesome too. Thanks Paul.

What a great class.. she's such a great speaker.. you will not get bored.. very interesting and she's really nice!

Tests are full of memorization questions and questions like "from the lecture ..., from the recitation...". If you don't have GREAT memory, the tests are tough.

She's a really great speaker. And I agree, Paul is an awesome TA.

Mmmmm, pretty....oops, can I say that???.....pretty...

Like, everyone else said, alot of memorization. She did, however, make lectures interesting. Nice lady, but labs were a joke. Come on....looking at an article about something biology related does not make for a "lab." Don't take if you are looking for an easy A.

She really cared about the students

Kinda hard for a hundred level class. The good thing is she’s an awesome teacher and a genius. I would recommend her, but beware of her tests; she's very specific on the questions. If you get a bad grade on something, take it into her and she’ll usually give you credit if your close.

Leslie rocks!!!!

the class was pretty ez. But when u do need help she will help u for sure and show u different stratigies for studying. As long as u review teh note and look at notes pack pg 110 u will Ace the exams.

Tough tests'

Lesley is an awesome teacher and makes biology exciting. All of the things expected from students on tests and assignments are very clear.

very easy. Go to class and attend most labs/recitations and you will be fine. The tests from the previous year that are included in the back of the lab manual are the best thing for studying. They really help a lot. The topics are fun and interesting.

Great teacher and an interesting class. Go to lecture and you won't have a problem with tests. Lesley's clarity is amazing and she makes the class fun.

Very clear and precise. Highly organized, which makes for easy note-taking. Enunciates well, so it is easy to understand her all the time. The tests are kind of hard, but if you do everything she says, you will ace them (or get a really good grade).

Very interesting class... Prof makes letures fun and interesting. Highly recommend

Very good lectures. I am not a Biology fan, but she made every lecture interesting. I highly reccomend them. I love the picture slide shows that she gives us before every lecture. She also is great at making the material understandable. Somehow, she makes complex material seem easy. Very good professor, you could do far worse in a 4 credit course.

Great teacher! If you go to her during office hours and study for the test you will get an A. You will have to work more than other 100 level classes but if you put in the time you can get an A. The text bood is an easy read. Make sure you go to lab and class if you want a grade better than a B.

This is a great class. It's extremely easy as long as you go to class and lab. You might actually learn something from her too.

Great in lectures, willing to help, yet NO textbook in a Biology class which requires many concepts makes for a bad class. Not recommended

Great prof. Very clear about what is expected from students. lays out exam axpectations very clearly also. Great lectures!!

Great teacher, am taking from her again next term. Her notes were very clear and concise and had immediate response to email. You should take this class, no textbook and looks of help.

This lady is all about her teaching. Every lecture is basically a show she puts on, which is kind of entertaining. She must make her creative outfits and cut her own hair. Gotta go to class to have the notes! She tests equally on labs, lectures, recitations and online readings. Do the work and it will be cake!

great lectures. makes it all very interesting. cool powerpoints that you everything you need to put in your notes. 200 pts possible about 65% tests and 35% porfolio work. actually in lab or rec about half the time scheduled always got out way early. tests were fair and had lots of specific questions that you'll get right if you attend class.

Super clear! Easy to understand! Awesome power point slides, right to the point. Labs & recitation are kind of ridiculous along with her portfolios that you have to turn in, but teaching she's awesome!

Leslie is a great lecturer. I mean GREAT!! Good powerpoints, gets right to business, but never moves too fast. Her and Mark have the course down to a science, so you are getting the best possible experience. I actually kind of enjoyed the class, even though I hate biology! There aren't enough positive things I can say! Just watch out for the tests.

Leslie is a GREAT professor; she is fair, and incredibly helpful. I did really well on the assignments and attended every class, but the tests were hard. Very specific questions and a LOT of information. Highly recommend, but you MUST attend every lecture, or you will get behind.

Very good teacher. Well organized and presented the information that made it interesting. There is alot of busy work so I would recommend going to every lecture and lab

Dr. Blair is a great lecturer. Excellent power points. She is also very helpful & eager to help students. But some of the labs/recitations are busy work. Expectations are very clear, although there are several questions on each test about some arcane, useless info that you thought you didn't need to know. So, it's hard to get an A.

An awesome lecturer. Grades very clearly and fairly. Textbook cheap and small. Tests based on memorization, though straight-forward. Labs/recitations are busy work and boring at times, though you usually can get out early. Overall, it was a great course. Recommended!

Dr. Blair is a great prof. Her lectures are crystal clear and she is willing to help her students. Although, this class covers a lot of material and a lot of things to memorize before exams. Labs can be boring, but helps to prepare for exams. I definitely recommend her!

Her lectures are crystal clear and easy to follow. The labs and recitations are busy work mostly but easy points. This class should be an easy class for anyone.

Leslie taught the BI 101 class I took; she was interested in the material and my learning; covered a lot of ground in lectures; tests were an even portion of lecture / lab / book. Leslie should write a book and dump the one we used.

She keeps it interesting! And she wears cool outfits

She is the best teacher i've ever had here at osu! everything she says is crystal clear, and she makes it very interesting. Transitions from one point to the next very smoothly. You have to listen closely to get all info. Tests are detailed and a little tricky. easy to get an A or B.

Great professor- interesting and clear lectures. Very minimal reading (all online), easy walk-through pages for lab/recitation, tests are clear and easy to study for. Plenty of TA office hours/email response for help.

I felt like it was a lot of material, but if you keep on top of things you will be fine.

Everything she says is crystal clear, and she makes it very interesting. She made me think in ways that I haven't before.

Great class if you need a bacc core science. Lesley's lectures are designed perfectly to take notes on the test and she makes the topic interesting. Labs are easy and take less than an hour. Tests are not too difficult as long as you take notes and do the readings and she gives copies of past exams to help with studying. Highly recommended!

Fabulous teacher! Extremely helpful and a great one hundred level course.

Also took 102 with her. Both were my favorite classes at OSU, she's just great. Lectures are incredibly interesting, not boring at all. Goes at the perfect pace to take notes. Attendance is mandatory but you won't mind going. Tests are fair, questions are straight from lectures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Leslie was a really great teacher for a class that I was very intimidated by at the beginning. The lectures are interesting, not too fast, and easy to take notes on. The tests come directly from lectures, assigned reading, and lab. Tests DO get harder as the term progresses. Totally recommend her and this 100 level science if you still need one

Very interesting lectures, my favorite was the infectious diseases. Have to take notes during the lecture, they are NOT provided online. Hated the portfolio projects but they were very easy to do. Don't really have to attend recitations or lab but it will help if you want to get a good grade in the class. Overall it's a great course.

Just do the work, go to class and take notes. The class is laid out for you on the website. Easy A. Great teacher. be there early so you can listen to music with the slide show. She has a wonderful wardrobe and loves to chat.

She's a nice lady. Easy A. Pretty interesting class.

Awesome Teacher! Lectures are interesting and she's super upbeat. Don't need a text book which is nice, because there are online readings which are easy to do. Every thing you need to know for the tests and portfolios are laid out for you and shes always willing to answer any questions. Just do your work and you'll get a good grade in the class.

Topics and exams are very straight forward. Easy B will have to study a fair amount for an A

Had Leslie for both 102 and 103. Her and the entire teaching team make these courses painless and very interesting. The handbook has past exams and answers, syllabus, and pretty much everything else you need for the course. If you need a science for Bacc core, take her class!

Another four credit Bacc-Core class that was made very easy. She teaches as if she is a talk show host and it keeps interest during lectures. Exams are straight forward and she gives you the exams from last years midterms and final. No textbook required just online readings. A very easy class to take.

She is awesome! She does a great job at making the material interesting and keeping you engaged during lecture. Pretty easy class, no texbook and the online reading is very short and to the point. Portfolio assignments (3 of them) are fairly simple. I wish all of my professors were this good. Definitely recommended, I will be taking her for BI 103.

I have taken Lesley for Bio 101, 102, and 103 and she is great! She makes the lecture like a talk show and is very entertaining! Wish she taught more classes!

Leslie is always excited about learning and keeps her audience engaged. If you go to lecture, lab, and recitation, then there's no reason to not pass the class. Most things are black and white. The midterms are relatively short and all multiple choice. She puts all exams from the previous year in the lab manual as a study aid.

Such a great lecturer, she has made biology so interesting. It is guaranteed that something from each lecture will be at least one question on the test so make sure you go.

I have always disliked biology, but Leslie makes the BI 10X series so much fun! I would definitely recommend the class to anyone. No textbook, relatively easy midterms. Love love love.

Dr. Blair gave very interesting and engaging lectures, I enjoyed every single one. The labs and recitations were fill in the blank out of the special booklet you had to buy, and were long and sometimes boring, but I still enjoyed them.

Dr. Blair is awesome. She is very passionate about Biology which makes her lectures easy to listen to, despite the fact that my lecture was at 9am. You probably won't interact with her too much, because you will have TAs in lab/recitation to help you, but if you do visit during her office hours, she is more than happy to help.

Show up to all the classes review notes and you will pass. Study for midterm if you want a good grade. Cant do the class without the lab and recitation book thing.

Love her lectures! lots of enthusiasm

Leslie has amazing lectures which have lots of pictures and are usually pretty intriguing. Her grading is pretty tough-especially on the portfolios. Tests are tough and you need to study. Most of the material is on the lab and recitation activities- typically questions about small details you wouldn't think would be on the exam.

Her lectures were amazing. I was actually interested in learning the material. What was covered in class and during recitations and labs, are on the tests. As long as you go, you'll get a good grade. I was as close to an A- as you can get.

Amazing instructor and you can see how much she loves teaching Bio. One of my favourites!

The class itself is graded on very few things, but there are super easy extra credit opportunities. Leslie is an AMAZING lecturer and is so nice and quirky. The lectures are very interesting and easy to follow. As long as you study for the tests, you will do well!

She was a great teacher. Lectures were well put together. The classroom was in a big circle. Her mic was a little loud every time not good if you had a headache. Loved her.

She's a good professor, you can tell she's very passionate about what she does. She's very approachable and would welcome me to each class. I also find her sense of style awesome! My only critique is that the journals that we would have to do made me feel like I was back in High school and I didn't really enjoy that.

Leslie is an amazing lecturer that keeps her students engaged throughout each class. Pay attention and you'll do fine! Everything she taught seemed as if she had experience to back up her thoughts. She is definitely where she belongs in the university and she is passionate about what she does everyday, even in a summer course like this one.

Dr. Blair puts a lot of effort into making her students feel welcome. You can tell she cares about her learning materials and the topic she teaches.

She really cares about each of her students, has clear grading instructions, great lectures and assignments that kept me engaged and interested, was very quick in responding as well as understanding if personal matters came up so make up work is possible. Lots of work but it is interesting and manageable if you space out your time. Would take again

This is how ALL online classes should look! This class is informative, engaging, consistent, and clear. Leslie and Mark are fantastic science communicators and outstanding educators. I've not come across a teacher more proficient at teaching on an online format than Leslie and her partner Mark. I wish all of my classes had been this great.

So refreshing to have a remote class that I am actually learning from! This professor makes it really easy to absorb complex subjects, and as someone who has really struggled to grasp basic science concepts before, I am finally actually having fun with science! I never thought I could feel 'smart' in a science class, but in this one I do.

There are so many wonderful things I can say about this teacher that won't even begin to describe how well-rounded, knowledgeable, and awesome she is. The work is fairly simple, almost like an art class. The best part about it is that she makes personalized websites and videos so a lot of times you don't even have to go to class at all.

I really liked her class, it was very interactive. I took 2 bios with her and I would take another if I had to. there is a lot of work but once you get used to it's not that bad. The work is very easy just A LOT. there is no midterm just weekly quizzes and a final project. if you just do the work you will probs get an A

i am just taking biology for baccore and im so glad its with her. she makes the class interesting and all of the assignments are very clear. the lab is more of a photo / written doc of different topics each week.

Leslie Blair is an EXCELLENT Professor. She is incredibly knowledgable about Biology, Animals, Science, etc. but she breaks the concepts down so students can understand. (BIO 102) It was fun and the assignments were not difficult if you put in the work. There were also opportunities to be creative. It's a fun class!

Dr. Blair was a great professor! I There are two assignments a week, as well as 7 free responses quizzes. Be prepared to review her modules if you want to do well on her quizzes. Her modules are very detailed, easy to follow, and extremely helpful. Overall, an amazing class with excellent feedback and a fantastic team!

Exciting lectures and a very flexible class structure.

Take this class if you need bio bacc core!!! Her notes for the week are posted online and are so detailed that you don't need to show up to lecture or even the labs. Lab attendance in optional but it essentially gives you the answers for one of the weekly assignments, you can just take pictures and then leave. Can't recommend this class enough!

Professor Blair is well-spoken and I loved the structure of her class (I'm still in it as of now) BI103 is a great class that will teach you the basics of Human A&P, and I wish there were more teachers who structured their courses like this. Using her own website that has a great UI and all lecture info is available there.

Leslie gave amazing lectures that I felt enhanced my learning of biology. Having the course material available on a website that they developed helped to add an extra way of learning and understanding. Grading guidelines were clear to understand and the feedback that the TAs gave was very insightful. Slightly easy course, but it's one worth taking!

Love this professor and class, it's a very easy summer class to take. All quizzes are open book/note. Great and interesting lectures. Very clear grading criteria and you are given feedback. Would 100% recommend this class with this prof.

One of the most caring instructors I've ever met. If college courses were all structured like this, people would love university, instead of dreading it.

BI101 was my favorite biology class I've taken. Leslie had entertaining lectures and the material was very easy to access outside of class. The workload was light, with notes, 2 media pieces, and a short open note quiz due each week. There was no midterm or final quiz, but instead, a final portfolio of the work you made during the term.

Lectures are really interesting if you choose to attend, and the recitation work is straightforward. No finals or midterms. Overall, a really well-structured class. Really good choice if you want an interesting Bacc-core that's also an easy A.

Fantastic course and instructor. This is the second course I've taken from her. Her lectures and the website are well organized, the content is fun, and she is very kind and demonstrates a clear desire to help students learn and understand the material. One of the best at OSU. If you have a chance to take one of her BIO courses, please do.

She taught this class with her husband (Mark). She didn't do any of the grading but she was the face of the entire class. Her videos are in-depth, interesting, helpful and honestly just fun. I've never learned/understood more in a BIO than this one. It's so well laid out. 10/10 recommend.

A fun and engaging class with a passionate professor. The assignments are straightforward, and lecture notes are available online. Attending lab is optional but helpful. Definitely consider using Unstuck AI alongside the textbook for study prep.

Loved all the videos they made they were super engaging and entertaining. Interesting to learn from her extensive experience and see all her critters and cats! I enjoyed taking BI 101 and BI 102 with her. I would recommend taking this class to anyone!
