Excellent teacher. Does her best to teach you everything she knows in a fun way. Don't have to go to class to pass tests because all of her notes are online, but it is extremely helpful to go to her class...you learn ALOT more. Take this if you get a chance.
She is an awesome instructor. She tries her best to make everything as clear as possible. She gives random extra credit which is always a good thing! Her tests are not too easy but they are not horrible either. I would recommend her!
I liked Robin a lot. She is very nice + makes the class fun. Absences arent counted. Tests arent easy but not too difficult either. A LOT of extra credit is offered, and there is a quiz every Friday, but its easy if you pay attention. I really liked her and would reccomend her for a teacher. A+
Robin is an excellent psyc. teacher. She cares about all of her students and wants everyone to pass. Her tests are sort of hard, but an A is definitely possible as long as you try. I give her a 10 and 2 thumbs up. Take her if possible. Class is interesting!
She was wonderful. I loved her class, she was very interesting and fair. As long as you study and pay attention you should have no problem making an A.
Robin's class is ridiculously hard, but she's very informative and always willing to help.
Robin was a wonderful professor. The material was not the easiest but she always took the time to help you understand. She always offered a lot of exra credit, which helps with your grades. Respect her and she will respect you. I will definitely take another class with Robin as the professor.
Robin is the BOMB!!! She is an excellent professor. I recommend her to anybody!!!! Her favorite saying is "uh..uh.. and everything."
She is a very modern professor and has a new and fresh approach on psychology. She is hype and associates with the younger students very well
this lady loves the subject and will try to help whenever needed. tests are slightly difficult and gives online quizzes which are easy to get 100 on. not hard to get an A.
A great teacher, but my God woman!!! Slow down and take a breath.
I had seen her around campus and felt a personality conflict between us. When she walked into the class on the first day, I almost walked out. I'm glad that I didn't. She turned out to be one of my most loved professors. She's fair and interesting, has a good clear voice, and can interact with people from all age groups.
Robin is the most awesome teacher! I loved my class and hated to see it come to an end. I would recommend her to anyone! Her test are hard, but if you go to class, listen and study, it is not hard to make an A!
She is a hoot! Take her class. You will love it!
She is great! You will really enjoy her class...she makes everything intresting and always has a great story to tell that relates to her lecture
Intro to Psyc. Awesome teacher and funny! She does take role so dont think you can just come on test days. Most people can just go to class, write a word or two on the power point slides, and study a couple of days before test and should have no problem with an A. Give easy extra credit, and online quizzes.
This teacher is horrible. Stay away.
She rocks!!! Excellent teacher!!
I have had her for both Elementary Stats and Intro to Psych and I am taking her again next semester for research methods. I love this woman!
She is a fantastic teacher!! She really tries to make class fun and interesting. Don't stress about being a little late to her class, she is almost always running at least five minutes behind!
I had Robin for Elem. Stats & again for Psych Research. She's GREAT. So funny, class is always interesting. Slideshows very helpful. Straightfoward. I definitely recommend taking any psych classes you can with her. =)
Robin is awesome!! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have a lot of laughs during class and still come out having learned about the subject.
Going into her class you know what is expected of you. She breaks down stats and yes, makes it somewhat exciting. It's an easy A if you go to class and just pay attention. Hard Calculations are take home. Tests are not difficult if you study a little. Excellent teacher highly recommend. Yes, I gave her a chili pepper. Confidence is hot. Wrap it up

She is absolutely amazing! one of the best teachers I have had at ETSU! I would recomend her class to anyone. She is extremely helpful ans makes class a blast!!! if i were the teacher i would give her an A+
she made stats easy to understand! a must take!
Robin is the most fantastic teacher at ETSU! I would take every class with her if I could. She is sweet, caring, hilarious, and really cares about her students which is a rare thing anymore. I loved having her for stats and this class (psych research) was just as much fun! I never dread going class! MUST TAKE! She deserves this hot tamale! Woo!!
So...I love Robin. She is my favorite! I wouldn't say she is easy, but she makes it interesting, and she is interested in you understanding it, and will go through anything with you to help you understand. She is AMAZING!! I have had her for like 5 or 6 PSYC classes.
The teacher had a late policy yet she was late every day. The teacher had mandotory attendance yet she missed like five days and skipped every day there was a test and let a proctor give it.
I had Robin for Developmental Psych. Teachers do not come better than her! She makes class interesting and is just plain hilarious. She is very straight-forward.. makes you feel at home in her classroom. Assignments were not too hard, but you do need to keep up with reading.
I wouldn't mind the absenteeism if I didn't have to walk up 4 flights of stairs. There are a couple sections we won't be able to get to because of snow days/cancelled classes/instructor no-shows that I was really looking forward to. Awesome teacher when she is in class though.
GREAT teacher. She makes the subject interesting and easy to understand (and since math and I do NOT see eye-to-eye, that's saying a lot). You do have to work for your grade, but she's willing to help every step of the way. Plus, she's personable and fun. I would take her again in a heartbeat.
Cant remember the actual class number, but it was Research Methods with the one hour lab. WARNING: DOCUMENT EVERYTHING YOU DO, OR WHAT SHE PROMISES. She seems to forget what she promised, and tends to lose assignments turned in. Ignores email. May be nice and friendly, but that doesnt cut it when grades are on the line. Avoid her if possible.
Ms. Leonard was an excellent instructor! She made the subject very interesting and I always enjoyed going to her class. She did cancel class a few times. She is very funny, however, if you are offended by profanity, you may not want to take her. Otherwise, I loved her and her class! I would definately take her again if I got the opportunity.
Leonard is a good teacher but if you do not study for this class you will not do well. She does curse alot so if that offends you DON'T take the class. She makes everything fun and excited and is good teacher. I didn't enjoy the class but loved her as a teacher. She does require homework but test scores are helped by a take-home portion.
Famous for her choice of words and blatancy, Robin is a woman who knows her stuff and lays it out. Don't take her if you get offended easily. She cancels class more than the usual professor, but she also has a lot of her plate. Study for her tests and you should do fine. Tip: DO the Sona extra credit hours and come to class.
Robin Leonard has been my favorite teacher in college so far. She talks to students like a peer and she always makes herself available to help if you need it. She's so good at making class interesting, even if the subject is not. I would definitely take her again. The class can be an easy A as long as you show up and do your work.
This was a pretty easy class if you print off her power points and pay attention in class. She has an attendance policy, yet she misses class more than the average student and was late pretty much every single day. Just make sure to check your email to see if class has been cancelled so you don't make a wasted trip to class.
i thought this was a very interesting class. If you are easily offended then i would NOT recommend her classes. If i get the chance then i will def take her classes again. The quizzes and exams are online and timed but they are not bad at all.
Extremely easy class, attendance is pointless as she cancels class/is late all the time but she gives points for being there. Very nice lady who truly cares about her students (but not about being a teacher). Don't buy the book, if you can take it in the summer to avoid having to go to class to watch her read off a powerpoint.
Robin in a hands on instructor. The class load came easily with her hands on style of teaching. The amount of work went up and down all class long.
She is the funniest/most laid back teacher I have ever had. She cusses all the time which is hilarious, and keeps you awake and interested, actually. This past semester all of our quizzes and tests wre online, except our final (which she gave us a study guide with the exact questions). Oh and she cancels class a lot and gives ex credit
One of my favorite teachers I've had at ETSU. I learned a ton from the class. She makes you want to come to class. She offers a fair amount of extra credit. She gave us all the questions that were going to be on the final before hand. She cancels class a lot. And she one of the funniest people I've ever met.
go to class or will effect your grade.She is funny teacher loved her. She does give some hard test.
I had her elemental statics, it was a fairly difficult class. She does a good job of keeping peoples attention but she isn't the most dedicated teacher. But i am taking her again for research methods.
Very enthusiastic! A joy to watch in class. She has a potty mouth, so if easily offended, I would not recommend. All of her tests are online and easy. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. She never uses it. Are allowed to miss a number of days, but if perfect attendance is maintained, you get extra credit. GREAT TEACHER!! :D
The tests are absolutely ridiculous. Some answers are terms that aren't in the book, even the glossary or index! She told us not to forget we have a teacher and to "feel free to blow up her inbox." Well, I emailed her about the tests a week ago and still have no response. DO NOT take her online class!
Robin is an AMAZING professor! For ElemStats she took a difficult subject and taught with such enthusiasm and clarity that not only did I fully comprehend and excel, but I enjoyed the subject. She truly wants her students to understand the material, and is willing to help in any way to make that happen, all while being laid back and funny as hell.
She is so funny, she could moonlight as a stand up comic. I have had her for at least one class every semester since I began at ETSU. I struggle with math- I am so glad I had her for psych stats. She made it understandable and really worked with me one on one as needed. MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR EVER!
Relatively easy course but her communication is awful. If you want a nice grade but arent interested in interaction with the professor this is the class for you. Replies to email are usually delayed and usually both short and condescending. She seems to really resent students for some reason.
This was not an easy A,at least not on line. This was her first on line class and it showed. She was slow to post scheduled tests which meant I had to start reading the next chapter before I was tested on the last chapter. Very frustrating. Tests required a lot of logical reasoning. I studied hard to get my A in this gen ed elective course.
Robin is the only instructor that I know who can make statistics fun and interesting. She is extremely funny and does curse but this makes the class go by much faster!
Robin kept your attention during lecture. She always has a good story that ties into the subject, and she doesn't stray from the Powerpoint. All of her quizzes and exams were online, which meant open note. They were timed, so as long as you new a majority of the information, you could look up what you did not know. I highly recommend her.
I would recommend her for intro to psych. The quizzes and exams are online and are not that difficult. Her class is very entertaining and she does a great job of explaining everything. I bought the book but don't really use it except when taking the quizzes and exams.
Generally, she is a good professor to take in person. Her online class was set up terribly. You must be able to keep up with the class yourself from her syllabus. I never had a problem with her when I took her classes on campus, but I'm struggling to get a B. Luckily she has extra credit opportunities. The class just seemed unorganized.
Robin is absolutely hilarious. I'm currently in her Behavioral Analysis class and it is always so interesting to hear her lectures. She's very personable and explains everything pretty thoroughly. The quizzes are a little tough and so are the exams, but I think that's because I don't take great notes. I get caught up in listening so I forget. ;D
This has been one of the worse classes I have taken. There has been little to no help from the professor. conflicting directions on assignments, no flexibility, expects students to put off going to work, just to do her assignments. way too strict . class is good if you have no job, and no kids.
If you are a non-traditional student, do not take this class in the summer. The worst class I have ever taken. You will only be able to survive this class if you don't have any kids or a job. If you are a perfectionist about every assignment, you should throw that state of mind out of the window. Due dates are crammed, and there is no flexibility.
Extremely interesting! She is an enigma to be taught by; at times, you may feel additional stress, but it's nowhere near as bad as other classes I have had.
I'm taking Robin for intro to psych and I absolutely love her. She is a very funny lecturer and keeps her students engaged and interested. She very good at explaining the material and she gives tons of extra credit opportunities.
Hilarious and make learning fun.
Loved having her as a professor. All exams are online. She gives you plenty of retakes on exams as well. Her lectures are actually fun to be in even though you can miss. I enjoyed the lectures because she actually made them interesting!
Dr. Leonard is awesome. Her lectures are funny, but informational. She uses real life stories to help the students understand better. I recommend her or Dula for Psychology.
She's so great! Lectures are so interesting, even on a boring subject. So helpful when it comes to having trouble understanding concepts. Test are very fair and homework really helps you understand what you're doing in class. Would HIGHLY recommend for Design and Analysis.
If you are going to take D&A 1 or 2 take it with Robin. She is an awesome teacher and she really cares about your learning. However, this is a class that you actually have to work in, there is a lot of homework and quizzes, but they really help for the test.
This professor was remarkably helpful, hilarious, and just interesting overall. I have learned more than I thought possible by taking this class.
She is awesome and hilarious! Psychology is so much fun with her..
Her tests are tough!!
You should definitely take her class for Intro to Psych! Totally easy A-- she lets you use your notes on the test, kid! Just show up, halfway listen in class, and print notes so you'll get an A. She's hilarious and cares about helping students. LOTS of extra credit offered. Sidenote: she is kind of crude- she curses and talks about sex a lot.
She is a good professor most of the time. I have taken her classes in the past, but this class was different. She got off topic and started talking politics. Our class fell behind and the Lab that I had with the class got confusing fast. I am good at finding my way through her PowerPoint so I got As. Her lectures only taught her opinions though.
Robin is hilarious, I've taken a few classes with her and I definitely will take more! D&A 1 is a tough class, there are a lot of homework and quizzes but they all contribute to the test not just busy work.
She got off topic every single class. It felt more like a rant than anything. She was super vulgar and always talked about sex. It would take the whole class period just to get through 7 power point slides. We were so behind, not because of the students but because she would just talk about stupid stuff. Learned nothing honestly....
I really enjoyed this class, and learned a lot. Your grade is made up by a quiz for each chapter, 2 homework assignments for each chapter, and tests which cover 2 chapters each. You have extra credit opportunity for participation, but start the beginning of the semester and do it throughout to earn as much as possible. Just do the work!
She has her online class set up to run itself. She had minimal interaction with us, but it was an easy class.
I've had Leonard for two classes now and I think she's awesome. She cusses like a sailor so if that's something that you don't like, then I wouldn't recommend her. She does get off topic easily but she's hilarious during lecture. I have heard her get political before, too. Tests are hard so studying is crucial. Extra credit helped me out a ton.
Amazing! Easy class and she is so hilarious and fun! Attendance was mandatory but even if it had not been I still would have gone to every single lecture. I actually enjoyed this class very much! I plan to take several of her classes.
I loved her class! She is so funny and she cusses like you wouldn't believe! You can use your notes on the test, but still learn the material because the questions can be difficult. Do the SONA requirements early so you don't lose points at the end!
Robin does a very good job at explaining things and adding lots of detail to lecture material. However, this class isn't something I would recommend for an online class. I believe that I would've been much better off taking this on campus.
Robin Leonard is a fantastic teacher, she is funny, smart, and cares about her students. With that being said she does make you work for it and the class content is difficult. She gives a lot of homework but she also provides a lot of extra credit. I would recommend going to class just to help you. you don't really need your book but it is helpful.
As far as difficulty she is not hard to pass. Just stay on top of assignments to make sure you do not get behind and you are golden. However the professor's knowledge of science is questionable at best. She continually made the claim throughout the semester that scientific theories are upgraded to laws after they have been proven, and other claims
She is one of the best psych professors I've ever had. I've taken a few classes with her. She cares about student success, if you have questions just ask her and she'll help you out. Put in the work and you'll get an A.
So behavioral analysis is something I would expect a former or current practitioner to teach. I still don't know what this lady did other than work at red lobster which she talks about all the time. If you can stand her saying uh and y'all extremely loudly and almost constantly then have at it. I haven't learned anything other tham the reading.
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.
Shes a great professor, if you study and look over her powerpoints then youll be just fine. Go to class!! she gives extra credit if you go to every class!
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
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.
Shes so kind and considerate. I loved her lectures and I recommend her
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
by far my favorite professor. No homework only two quizzes and an exam for each section which are super easy
She is an amazing teacher, I am definitely taking her again! As long as you look over the notes and do your assignments, you should be fine.
Robin is a saint of a human and cares for everyone around her. She is selfless and she will be deeply missed by her students, colleagues, and family.
