Reviews of professor Leah Benedict

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This is my second class I've taken with Dr. B, and I love her to death. She is kind and genuinely cares. This class focuses on children's literature, but it is very interesting. She wants students involved. There is a lot of reading (whole books in a week), but they're easy reads because they're meant for children.

She is a very nice lady who really cares about what she's teaching. Although there is a lot of reading and writing in the class she isn't too harsh of a grader and the readings were often interesting.

All the books can be found free online. I forgot to read sometimes and just winged it. You have to actually go to most of the classes because thats where most of your grade comes from. The amount of reading is not bad as I managed to do it while working full time with 6 classes. She is the most caring professor ever if she gets to know you in class

I was legitmately surprise by the amount of work for a 2000-level course. You will ALWAYS have some kind of homework or readings to do, even during breaks or when she cancels class. I found the coursework and topics covered very confusing and felt lost during a majority of the lectures. Just a bit too conceptual for me. Prof Benedict is sweet tho!

Weekly discussion posts and readings from required books you can get off amazon for super cheap. Attendance is required and is always fun, her topics roll out great discussions and mixed opinions from your peers but there are daily in class work that needs to be turned in through d2l. 2 major essays and extra credit if you missed any assignments

She's very sweet and enjoys teaching. Her lecture style was nice, but we did a lot of in class work so show up to classes. Easy stuff tho, just do it. Discussion posts were only hard when she didn't tell us when they were due, you had to go and check the disc tab itself to know to do things sometimes. But content was easy and interesting enough.

Dr. Benedict is definitely in my top five favorite teachers ever. She is super intelligent and even though we have to read a lot, the literature is enjoyable and leads to fun conversation in class. She is really funny too and makes class interesting! If you have to take ENGL 2174, definitely take Dr. Benedict!

Professor Benedict is a great teacher to have. She genuinely cares about you and your work, and the content in her class was very interesting. Her assignments were easy and very easy to understand. If you have any questions, she will be glad to help. The class is heavy on the reading, but if you don't mind, she is great.
