Ms. LeGrand has good intentions but she does not execute them very well. Her class is easy but you have to put up with her mood swings. You do a lot of presentations too so if you dont like to talk in front of people pass her up.

I think she's a nut. Her class is easy but if you miss for any reason expect to be patronized and called out in front of the whole class, especially if you are an athlete. She expects you to do a lot of busy work and wastes a lot of time. Don't disagree with her or ask for help either-she treats you like you're an idiot and talks to you much the same way. I hated every minute of this class!

Super easy class. There was one assignment per week (either a forum, discussion, or quiz). The only weird thing was that you could only do the work from Monday morning to Friday night. I never needed to email her because everything was straight forward.

Her grading is so easy. She gives marks easily but her canvas and assignment system is odd and unorganized. She is a sweet professor but her class and topic is somewhat confused me all the time.

This was by far the easiest class I have taken. It seems like it will be a lot of work at first because Legrand doesn't really explain things well but she gives you a paper of each assignment and you basically just follow it. We do a lot of things in class for points so be prepared to show up and it's only once a week.

The class material and MindTap assignments were very easy. I never received full points for the assignments she created herself, there was always something wrong. There is a big group project worth the majority of your grade. Her canvas page is very confusing, has information all over the place, and is not very clear in assignment instructions

This professor is technologically incapable, which is insane for an online course. She doesn't know how to use email or canvas. She does not include a schedule in her syllabus, stating that the canvas page is so straightforward you don't need a schedule. Outdated and overpriced book. Easy content but wow. Terrible class. Waste of $
