Reviews of professor Tamara Ledley

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Read these words twice: DO. NOT. TAKE. LEDLEY. AT. ANY. COST. Expects business students to be cutting-edge climate scientists. Unreasonable amount of classwork and homework. Tests are the only silver lining since they're take home and most answers were online. Team paper is a ton of work but I had an outstanding group and we carried the whole class

I genuinely wanted to give my last shout out to a fantastic professor. She is a caring, enthusiastic, and knowledgable about her students. She brings light to all of her students even when the course material was unusual for our Bentley minds as mainly business students l. She made science enjoyable to learn and I thank her for that.

Does not explain anything from in-class assignments to group projects. The only reason I am getting through the class is because of the people in my group. I would not recommend taking the class unless absolutely necessary.

Professor Ledley is a very boring lecturer. She expects you to have a certain amount of knowledge previous to even starting the class. She often gets confused by the due dates she creates and does not update her syllabus accordingly. There are way more interesting science classes at Bentley that you could take and actually learn from.

I took this class online and accelerated during the summer, if it was a typical semester I would not take this class. There's a ton of reading assigned but the tests don't reflect the textbook material at all so I stopped reading after the first test. The lectures were so hard to sit through - mostly bc they were monotone and included complex graph

I took this class because I was interested in climate change but the class was not like what I expected. Shes super picky and expects you to know everything and is a very harsh grader. Assigned so much work during the 7 weeks that wouldve been done during a full semester. Tests are super long and doesnt reflect chapters read or lectures.

DO NOT TAKE! Extremely boring, way more interesting science courses at Bentley including the ones her husband teaches!

The material can be a little dry, but Ledley does a great job of changing it up periodically with guest lectures and mini labs that are actually pretty cool. She wants in-depth responses on exams, but as they're take-home tests that are given a week before they're due, that's not unreasonable. Gives 2-3 easy extra credit opportunities. 10/10

AVOID! First, I have never had to spend so many hundreds of dollars in a class, never mind an ELECTIVE (textbooks, manuals, books for presentations, license fees she makes you pay, etc.). Second, this is not for you if you actually want to learn about climate change. She lectures about earths atmosphere and the wind. Boring, expensive, hard at best
