If you are there to take the notes then the review sheet she gives out will tell you what to highlight from the notes. study one day before the test and you get an A.

Professor Leslie is one of the Best you will find at UWG. - tests are only over what she says from in class Notes, not the book, which means you need to go to class. - she doesn't take attendance and doesn't give homework or Class work, just a couple of online quizzes that are open-book throughout the semester. - She makes her lectures easy to understand and remember.

Professor Leslie is simply amazing! She is informal, funny, caring, and an overall outstanding professor. She lectures for the whole class period, so be prepared to take notes. The textbook she uses is free and online. Her tests are easy. There are no trick questions or written responses. Just study the material, and you should pass her tests.

Such an awesome professor! If you have friends that have taken her before, ask them for their exams so you can study them! Her exams are the exact same as past ones & she passes them back out she has amazing stories to tell & doesnt require attendance

Every day was a lecture day. The best notes to take were notes from what she was saying as well as the powerpoint and not just from the powerpoint. Also, SI sessions were very helpful to study for tests.

Some of the material on the exams are strange, and taken from her stories and jokes rather than the powerpoint, so attendance isn't required but necessary if you want good grades on the exams. She is pretty laid back, and doesn't give a lot of homework. Textbook was a free PDF

The tests are based off the power points. She lectures the whole class but she tries to make it funny. Attendance is taken randomly three times for extra credit. The book is a free PDF so that is really nice. The homework quizzes are straight out of the book and she includes what page they start on. Really sweet lady.

I recommend her. She is a really sweet lady and she lectures from her powerpoints. Some of the material on the test is from things she says in class that are not on the powerpoints but majority of the material is on the powerpoints. Attendance doesnt matter but I recommend going to class because it helps understand the material better.

Professor Leslie is a great instructor and even thinks her class is an easy A. She runs a point system and gives you extra credit attendance points on random days. Her tests are easy and straight from the power points that she gives online so if you miss a day or two it is fine.

I've never been good at history but Professor Leslie was really funny and made sure help her students understand her material. All her power points are posted on CourseDen which really helps with studying. The SI Leader that I had (Madison M.) helped with study guides and she would email them to you if you couldn't attend her meetings.

Dr. Leslie really knows what shes talking about! She will post all of her PowerPoints online for you to see, but you should probably go to class because her PowerPoint may only have a few words on it whereas shell spend 10 minutes explaining the backstory. Her tests are easy if you know the material- not conceptual, all fact-based. Great class!

Very kind professor. Tests are not cumulative. Lectures are easy to understand, but can be boring, so get a coffee before you come to class. Posts powerpoints, but they're not as detailed as the lectures. Tests are straightforward. Some homework throughout the semester, but it isn't difficult.

Leslie is a great teacher, shell break down materials for everyones understanding. Lectures seem to be long sometimes and you only have 3 papers to write (technically 2) & 3 exams. Going to class isnt mandatory because she posts lecture powerpoints & she in fact states she knows class will be packed on exam day and not any other day.

Great history professor. I really enjoyed her lectures. I always likes history in high school it was easy. She has 3 in-class exams and the final essay at the end of the semester. Show up to class. Be consistent she notices the ones that go to class regularly and she may plug in bonus points to the student grade book for going to class consistenty

Attendance not mandatory & possible to make a great grade. Lectures are easy to understand, if you cannot show up she posts the PPT online by end of the week. Midterm and Final open note online. HW assignments were easy just a blend of journal entries and chapter readings w/questions. Essay assignments give effort and it'll be okay. Great class

Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you want to pass the tests you have to go to each class and pay attention to the lectures. The tests have a lot of questions about what she says in class (not on the PPs) and are worded weird. She doesn't do study guides. Do not take if you aren't good with sitting down for 75 minutes and listening to banter.

If you show up to class and pay attention (difficult to do, believe me) you will pass. She teaches from a chair, with a powerpoint and has monotone nailed down, but is kind. She gives homework via CourseDen and nothing too difficult. More like busy work so she has something to grade and it takes forever for your grades to come back to you.
