Hack for her class: don't buy the book, go to class everyday, DO the Sona credits, and take your quizzes and test. If you do all this I can almost guarantee you will pass with an A. Nothing about this class is that difficult, but you do have to show up and do the work

If you want a good grade it is not hard to get, but you will not learn the material of the course. She does not understand even basic principles of hard science, and often misinforms her class with her lack of understanding. She does not take kindly to criticism. Graduated in 2016 with honors, she was the worst prof I had at this school hands down.

This class was superb. It had a low pressure atmosphere with clear grading criteria. Dr. Leonard is super funny and has a ton of amazing stories that she tells that tie in well to her lectures so it's hard to be bored in her class. She genuinely cares about you and is very understanding if you run into any questions/problems with her class.

I took Leonard in the Fall of 2017 for intro to psych and I loved her!! She is overflowing with knowledge and she never had an uninteresting lecture. She cusses a TON but it only adds to her very interesting class..

Took the online-summer Design & Analysis I and really enjoyed the class. She was very clear about the course schedule and it made it easy to learn. Uses quizzes and tests to build your grade up early. I had personal issues that caused me to slack off towards the end but still did well. She responds very quickly to questions and is super helpful.

I took Robin for Design and Analysis 1 and 2. She was great. She's hilarious and very nice. She is very serious about psych though and grades pretty hard but if you ask for help she will do everything she can to help you pass.

So, Leonard is stingy with her points, especially in the online classes. Lock-down browser for exams, and I averaged an 85 on the exams. She does drop the lowest quiz grades, but 89.9 is that an 89.9-B+ and no A- is given. She expects you to read 485 posts by other students, which is ridiculous!!! And I was very close to an A and no assistance!! ��

She has very interesting lectures and adds humor to a lot of otherwise boring topics to make them more bearable. Kind of a tough grader but I still made an A in the class. If you just study the power points on D2L, tests shouldnt be a problem for you. Would definitely take her again

Robin is the best. She's funny and quirky, but does have tendency to go off on a tangent. She favors colorful, profane vocabulary which may be sensitive for some, but she truly is wonderful. Her tests and quizzes are online, and she has three discussion boards. She cares a lot for her students and will be there for you if you reach out to her!

Robin knows how to keep a class engaged and entertained while also teaching us important material. Sometimes she does go off topic, but otherwise she's great. she genuinely cares about our success and helps with homework and assignments as much as possible. If you show up to class and pay attention, you'll definitely pass.

I had Ms. Leonard for Behavior Analysis and I absolutely love her! She makes lectures fun and always makes sure to get her point across to her students. She tells a lot of stories and sometimes she may repeat them, but they're always helpful in my opinion. I built my next semester schedule around a class she is teaching just to be with her again.

Robin isn't what I would call an ideal lecturer. She easily gets sidetracked during class, which often results in us going over no course material whatsoever during the hour and a half. She gets sidetracked talking about social justice and politics that have no relevancy to the course, and often pushes her own personal politics into the lecture

Skip class? You won't pass.

Love Professor Leonard! She is a hilarious teacher who tells you upfront that she talks a lot and she does what she has to do. Tests and Quizzes are a little tough, but if you study, you're good. Lectures are not necessarily mandatory but its well worth it listening to her talk about everything so passionately.

Robin Leonard started out as a teacher I really liked but as the class went on, she just talked political the entire time. When Im taking a behavior analysis class Im not there to hear about your political opinions. She brought up in class that she knew it bothered people and then she called her position as a BA teacher a PLATFORM. Inappropriate.

Ms. Leonard is the best Professor that Ive had at ETSU. Shes very funny and her lectures keep you engaged. The only bad thing about her class is that she gives 5 exams not including a final, and 10 quizzes throughout the semester, so you need to take notes in her class. Overall she is a great pick.

If you need organization, don't take Robin. Within the first week her syllabus schedule was useless. Her class D2L is a mess, ambiguous deadlines and assignment directions. She is chronically late with deadlines, posting materials, grades etc. College is stressful enough without having an unreliable professor. Nice lady, but needs some structure

Lots of homework
