Very hard to make an appointment. Does not answer wuestions well. Act as though you are questioning her in stead of asking a question. She doesn't teach, she dictates the class.
She is very concerned with helping her students learn ways to learn better. Lots of homework and quizzes, but they help you stay on track and not slack off. FYI, A and P is not an easy A or an easy B from ANYBODY!
Dr. L is very intelligent but not a very good instructor. Lectures are unorganized and difficult to follow. Tests contain info that may benefit you in Trivia Pursuit but not life. Tests/assignments aren't handed back timely. I was very disappointed.
Dr. L is not an easy teacher by any means. Her lectures are monotone and very hard to understand. If your going to take A&P find someone new
Dr Lepage is not easy, but she does know her subject very well. She wants you to succeed, but you have to put in the work. The toughest, but most rewarding class I have had at NHCC.
Lectures are boring and hard to follow. Lepage reads lecture from typed notes. Poor communication for an INTRO class to A&P. Unclear about what to study. Learn more from reading book on your own and attending open labs. Test questions contain "trick" words. Take this class with someone else.
Lepage is a horrible teacher. Tests are made to trick you not teach you. Teaches as if you were a collegue not a student. Boring monotone lectures that talk about more of her life stories than the material. No help when you ask a question & everything is done her way. She says "That's the way it is"
Lepage is extremely unpredicable even if you study every day and think you know it all. She will some how find away to mess you up and deduct points. Im a diligent student and very concerned about how well I do. Im disappointed in what I get out of all the effert I put in. Very frustrating class.
I thought she was a very good lecturer. This is a hard class. No one should be guaranteed an A or a B just because you try hard. Some classes are just tougher than others.
Very unclear with everything that is asked for. BORING monotone voice with a big ego. Learned more by teaching myself than listening to her. Would never take a class from her again.
This is one of the nastiest people you will ever have the misfortunate to meet in your life. She is rude, abusive and very disrespectful to students. This is a very difficult class and the teacher makes it even harder with boring lectures,lack of clarity and her negative additude. Don't take LePag

This coures is offered at several other colleges, like Hennepin Tech, so if you have the choice take it there. I wish I had!!! My friends told me about LePig, but I didn't listen. I am one of the lucky ones and will get a high B in this class. Over 60% of this class has dropped or failed!!!!!!!!!
The instructor in this class is very tricky and uses little games to try to get you to fail. It is extremely difficult to take her test if you do not have English as a first lanuage. If you are foreign student do not take this instructor, no matter how good of student you think you are.
This class is very difficult. Her voice is monotone and very soft, so it makes it hard to follow in lecture. She knows her material well, but does not try to help clarify, and definitely has a short temper when asked questions.
If you are a Siegfeld fan you will have the chance to take the "Soup Nazi" for an instructor!!LePage is just like him, she wouldn't listen, rude, has no time for you, and is very boring. Take someone else if you have the chance.
The greatest joy you can bring to LePage is to take her class and fail, which you will most likely do even if you work extremely hard. This instuctor doesn't teach or educate, is very boring, and disrespectful of students. Find someone else or somewhere else to take this course.
Anyone who tells you this is a good but"difficult" professor is lying to you! They would love to see you take this class and get low grades, especially when you apply to advanced programs like nursing. Do not under and conditions take this nasty person for your instructor!!! The voice of expericence.
This teacher has a good example of someone who knows the subject, but does not have the ability to teach. She is very bad to her students and will not help you or make it clear what you should study or what is important. If you value your time and don't want the abuse,take someone else for this class.
WOW..I completely disagree with previous posts-I found Dr. LePage's classes to be quite rewarding-Yes, the courses are hard, but they would be hard regardless of the teacher!! Dr. LePage is a great instructor for those who are SERIOUS about learning. I have taken three separate classes with her and feel truly lucky to have been in her classes.
WOW!!! The numbers are in, AND THEY DON'T LIE!!! Of the 96 students who started this class only 32 won't be retaking it, that means 64 will have to use their time and money to do this class all over again. What a wonderful teacher Lepage must be to have such a high rate of sucess!
Well my girlfriends at work told me how terrible Lepage was, but unfortunately I didn't listen. I wish that I had!! After working extremely hard on this course and putting up with the abuse and rudeness of LePage, I get to take it again. I passed, but my grade wouldn'g getme into nursing school.
Think of your worst day and your worst teacher. Now take LePage and you can have your worst day everyday!!!
Real simple take a look at LePage and than take a look at the comments on Dr. Ross. It becomes real easy to decide who to take. Dr. Ross is a kind person who will help you suceed and is an excellent instuctor. Lepage is just the opposite.
I did not have this prof, I had Dr.Ross. I had friends that had this prof at the same time as me and we learned the same exact material, it's just she tested you more to make your life misserable. You will not get anything more from her, except a bad grade. If you are serious about the health care profession and want success, take Dr. Ross.
I agree with the comment below. I have had both Dr. Ross and I've had LePage. The material is not different, but Dr. Ross is a much better teacher. Dr. Ross is staight forward and doesn't try to trick you, with her if you do the work you will get a good grade and learn much more than LePage.
LePage doesn't try to educate you to the subject. She is more interested in showing you how smart she is and how stupid you are!! She likes her power over students and isn't afraid to abuse it or you.
This instructor has no idea how to effectively teach or educate students at a college level or any other level. Her tactics of suprises and tricks don't serve to perpare or educate anyone, they just confuse and demotivate the students.
I would like to rate this professor, LePage, if you can call her that, but the rating scale doesn't go low enough to accurately reflect how bad this professor really is!!! Take someone else if you are smart and have the chance.
There might be a worse professor in the educational system, but I don't think so!! This person is rude, nasty and abusive to her students and totally overbroad with her own sense of power.
Lepage has a big ego.Your grade will not only depend on your test scores,but also her personal opinion of you.She may know the subject well herself,but has no clue how to teach it.You will be tested in lab over subject not covered in lecture for weeks.The tests suck. Her teaching is condoned by NHCC, or they would have gotten rid of her years ago.
The person below is correct, this professor shouldn't be teaching anywhere!! Her lack of organization and clarity cause students to over study and still not be prepared. Maybe it is covered or maybe it isn't, but you will never know from this professor if it's important.
If you have a desire to learn and to suceed in your life and career, this is the professor you don't want to take!! This teacher has no idea how to educate students for long-term learning and applications in their careers. Take someone who knows what they are doing and can teach.
In fourteen years of education this is the worst instructor I have ever had the displeaure to meet. She is rude, nasty,abusive and spiteful, on her best day. On her worst day you don't want to know!
What a nasty teacher. If you have the misfortune to have this beast for a teacher plan to spent a lot of time in the Dean of Sciences office explaining the problems your having with her.
The greatest service this person could do the educational field is to quit!! This person is totally unfit to teach and educate students at NHCC of any other place.
This person is so bad there is no rating low enough to describe how terrible she is!!!!!!!!!!
One of my girlfriends told me that this was a nasty, angry, bitter person who took out her frustions on her students. I didn'g believe them but after having this teacher I can truthfully say that they were right.
LePage is not competent to teach at NHCC or any other educational campus. She is disorganised, rude, abusive to students and lacks the ability to present the material in an understandable format. Take someone else!!!

To the writer below. You got very lucky!!! I didn't know how bad LePig was and unfortunately took her. It was the worst educational experience I've every had. I worked hard and learned very little. She has no idea how to teach or train anyone. She nasty to the students and could care less if you learn.
This is the lowest rated teacher at NHCC!!! Enough said!!!!!!
Lepage is one of the best reasons why there shouldn't be tenure. She is totally worthless as an educator and yet she can't be fired. If she is your only choice look at Hennepin Tech, they have many of the same courses available with good educators. Metro State is also a good alternative.
WARNING: If you are a minority do not take this person for classes. LePage doesn't like minorities and especially dislikes Asians. She will do every sneaky little thing to get you to fail. Take Ross who is not **** or find another place to take your classes.
Watching them pull a live, wiggleing, 10 foot tapeworm out of your butt is a better experience than taking this person!!!!!!!!!!
This person is in dire and extreme need of mental health counseling!!! Avoid this person at all costs, she rude, nasty, disrespectful and just down right crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have enrolled in A&P with Lepage RUN!!!!! Get out now and don't waste your time or money on this course if she is teaching it!! A&P is taught at many schools and you will have a much better educational opportunity if you tranfer for this course. With Lepage you will work extremely hard learn nothing and have to take it again.
Completely agree with the comment below. I had heard about LePage before I took it, but figured people were just whiners. Boy, was i WRONG!!! Take all these comments seriously if you are enrolled in her class now, and run for your sanity's sake! and your gpa's sake! Its no use staying to bang your head against a brick wall! I can testify to that!
LePage knows a lot of information, she just lacks the ability to present it in a way for ANYONE to understand. She is one of the worst teachers I have ever had.
If you like being a punching bag for an out of control nut, this class is for you. Lepage is mean, nasty and angry. She takes out her personal problems on her students.
If you are Asian don't take Lepage! It is very clear that she has a intense dislike for us. She is rude and unhelpful, plus will attempt to trick you into failing.
Lepage is the lowes rated professo at NHCC for good reason! Now more needs to be said, other than to say don't take this "teache" under any condition.
I had Lepage last fall and it was as bad as these comments reflect. I did take the advise given here and went to Henn Tech, five minutes from NHCC. I learned twice as much as from Lepages class and was able to pass with an A. My advice take Dr. Peterson over at Henn Tech.
AVOID THIS "professor" AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!!
She must have changed from when I had her Fall of 2004. She was nice and was clear not a mental person from what everyone is saying now?!?!?
She is a psycho! She thinks that she's a genius just because she got her doctorate, but if she's so damn special then why is she teaching at a community college?
I had her last fall and she is just a nasty as she was than. Anyone who tells you that she is "nice" or "clear" or what ever is just lying or one of her little pets. If you can't figure out that this is a horrible teacher, you shouldn't be in college.
This professor is in deep and dire need of long-term psychological counseling. She is in no way fit to be attempting to educate anyone and should be immediately removed from the faculity of NHCC.
I have yet to see a positive comment on this person. I am interested to know people's thoughts as to why she is still teaching here. It is clear that she shouldn't be, so why do we still have to pay her, when there are many good teachers available.
She is still teaching here because she is to nasty to quit and the management is to wimpy to fire her. I've had this teacher and in any other company she would have been fired a long time ago.
She is a GREAT TEACHER if you like listening ot lectures straight from her notes! Her tests are easy if you read her notes! Otherwise I don't see how she is bad?
WARNING: The rating below is a bunch of nonsense!! This is the worst professor at NHCC. The person below only want you to take this teacher so you'll get a bad great and lower GPA. It is sad that someone would try and trick a fellow student like this!!

This is the worst teacher at NHCC. You should take her just to find out how horrible a teacher can be. You will find out what its like to have four continous months of "that time of the month"
There are so many good options and ways not to have to put up with the misery of taking this "teacher" that it makes no sense even considering risking her class. I wish that I hadn't!!!!!111
Now I remember what it is like to be treated like a kindergartner once again. If you like sudden eruptions of fury she's your gal. I wish there was another Bio teacher willing to teach 2112. Maybe she ought to consider thinking about her behaviour since she is aware of these critical reviews.
The reason there is not another teacher is so that Lepage can have a job, no matter how bad she is! It is clear that if students didn't have to take her they never would.
This "teacher" will definitely make your life into a misery. Does anyone know how we can get rid of these worthless teachers at NHCC? I feel that this is a total waste of my time and money.
She's a royal pain in the ass that would rather see her students fail then succeed so she can feel smarter and better about herself!
cares about your needs
What a bunch of nonsense!! Cares about your needs????? The only thing this professor cares about is herself and making life miserable for her students.
The only person Lepage cares about is herself and her opinion. She views the students as dogs who should learn to obey her or else! The teacher is rude, arrogant and abusive to students.
she's very nice, however she's not very clear.she fequently goes off into tangents. Her lectures are just notes from the textbook. The lectures i felt weren't helpful at all. They are paraphrasing the primary text, and not adding to my understanding of the material.

This is the best teacher at NHCC. She brings knowledge and experience to the classroom and presents it in a clear and pleasant way. I studied for about 2 hours per week and got an A. Everyone should take her.
I think she wrote the 1/06 review herself.... she's an awful teacher. Reads notes to you in lecture instead of explaining, unreasonable when probs arise. Don't take her! She has lots of knowledge, but presents it poorly. Be prepared to figure the info out yourself. Got a B, but had to work insanely hard for it!
She is great--helpful and accomodating. I had read comments that other people had written on this site before taking this class during the 8-week summer session and was concerned but she is knowledgeable and writes excellent tests that are exceptionally low in tricky questions. Highly recommended!
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!!! I have heard many, many times (some of the nicer teachers have let it slip also) that LePage is still teaching because she has Tenur!!! She doesn't give a Sh*t about the students, she reads her notes for lecture, she gets pissy if you have a question in lab. She will tell you the 1st day of class 50% WILL FAIL!!!!!
Whoa, if you want an easy A or B, this is NOT the teacher to get it from. It IS possible, though, as I can attest to after getting two A's. Peggy is DEMANDING. If you're not up for the challenge of actually studying and trying to learn, go somewhere else. If you are, Peggy is the best. She REALLY knows her material. I give her an A+++
I don't understand why there are so many awful comments about this instructor! She is extremely helpful, very knowledgeable, and an exceptionally good teacher! Her classes aren't hard if you attended class. I can't help but believe that those leaving negative comments simply didn't attend class and are spiteful for having recieved poor grades.
Very tough, very good. Most people in class didn't do a thing and complained about teaching style. I worked my butt off and learned an incredible amount. A's both semesters
I had Dr. LePage for lab only and she was great! I thought Dr. LePage was very helpful. Every time I asked a question she would explain it in detail. Sure she's not as perky as Dr. Ross but Dr. LePage knows her stuff! Her lab quizzes were hard but if you study, you'll do fine. The ones that are hating on her are probably the "C" students.
Wow, I only get 350 letters to explain why you should not take this lady? I'm shocked there are even some good comments. I have never worked so hard and gotten so little out of it. I'll never forget when she said, "Good luck on the mid-term, but luck doesn't have much to do with it!" Unbelievable- some of the words she utters!
Dr Lepage is very helpful. Her Lab quiz are thing you will know if you READ the information. I would take her over McManus anyday! Lepage doesnt think she is above you!
Hasn't changed a bit? Still monotone and rambles a lot. When you ask her questions, she says ask another student. Doesn't teach in lab. She actually doesn't say much in lab. Not a very passionate teacher. She does know her stuff but doesn't seem eager to help her students succeed. Not very approachable or kind. It seems like she doesn't care
lepage answers question in vauge terms. Eventually, one gives up asking questions. Lepage is centered on the life of Lepage, with litte conern for students. Lepage shows little desire to admit when a test question, has the incrrect result
She is a nice person. That aside it is difficult to attain an A. Those who took A/P before (e.g. LPNs) did much better. Recommend brushing up on A/P before taking her A/P. I will retake A/P with different professor.
Dr. LePage is a very straight forward person. She lays out the whole semester work in the syllabus. There are no surprises. Her test do require you to actually study to do well. Dr. LePage was always helpful when I had questions. Thru her class I developed a love of science. I recommend her biology of Woman class to everyone. Thanks Dr. LePage.
Great teacher, Just make sure you hand in your work on time and you will do fine
I am surprised by the positive comments with her. She is pretty demeaning when you ask a question-She either acts like you are a five year old or dumb, which I am neither. She requires that you call her "DOCTOR". She is clearly very educated and smart, but she just reads off her powepoints in class so going to class is useless. MONOTONE,BORING..uff
The class is really hard, no matter who you have for a teacher. She is very helpful. Always makes time to be available. What she has in her powerpoints is what is on the test. Overall really good teacher.
the class is very hard, but she is super nice and helpful. as long as you study and understand the materials you will pass the class.
Great teacher! I had the best experience and really enjoyed Lab but lecture was not as exciting. Overall Dr. Lepage was fair and helpful and patient when I needed clarification.
Dr. LePage is notthe easiest teacher, and for A&P you do not want an easy teacher, you want to know this material esp. if you are going into nursing. Dr. LePage cares about the students and wants them to do well. If you have a problem, ASK HER. She will help, she is very dedicated to the students and school.
Dr. LePage does a fine job. Her lectures are a little boring, and her exams are worded awkward and a little tricky. Lab is fine, but you basically teach yourself through the lab manual. You will NEED to go to open lab as often as they have it. There is not enough time to learn everything during regular lab. Ask for help if you need it!
This class is difficult no matter what professor is teaching it. Would of liked if she taught more in lab instead of just letting us figure it out.
Hard course, you really have to study to do well. Dr. LePage has high expectations & expects you to work hard to earn your grade. She also goes above & beyond to help. She held Saturday exam study classes & extra open lab times all on her own time, she is not required to do this. Any major that requires AP2 will be lots of work, get used to it!
Peggy is by far the best professor I've had at NHCC. She really care about what she is teaching and takes the time to listen to questions and give detailed answers. I which I could take her again!
Not a good teacher. Grades tough. Pointless class. I took this class because I needed a science class for my generals and it was the only class available. Do not take this teacher's course! Things might've been better in her Biology of Women class, but since it was online and not an in-campus class, it seemed like we just had a lot of tasks.
Awesome Professor. She really cares for her students and how well they do
I took her class to learn more about my body and the information was very helpful but when it came to assignments she was not at all easy. This class was not required for me to take and I regret taking this class because she barely helped you and was not very understanding. This class requires too much work.
This class was hard for me. I took A&P2 and the teacher was extremely unorganized. We didnt even finish 3 different major topics before the final. Her powerpoints were copied directly from the textbook. I couldve stayed home and studied. Attendance is mandatory. I wouldnt take her again. I had gotten a B in a/p1.
I really liked how fair and honest she was about her expectations from the start. She expects you to work hard and learn the material. If you are going into the medical field then you need to know this information for your career. Yes, this is a difficult class, but it needs to be. Do you want a nurse taking care of you who took it easy in school?
She makes herself accessible to students and is very responsive to emails. She is thorough and has clear expectations. She has the fastest turnaround for exam scores than any of my previous professors (within a few hours of taking the exam!). She is extremely organized and gives excellent advice on how to be successful in her course. She cares!
