Reviews of professor Stefanie Leacock

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Leacock is brilliant and I learned so much in developmental biology.  Yes its hard. Yes you HAVE to come to class so you stay caught up. Yes you have to study. I did these things and made a very solid A.  I would absolutely not hesitate to take any class taught by her!

Dr. Leacock is a very good and enthusiastic teacher. Shes very bright and knows exactly what she is talking about in class, which is unfortunately not the case for all teachers. All tests have bonus points, which is very nice. If you want an A though, you HAVE the read the textbook.. trust me. Amazing teacher with great lectures.

Very nice and kind. if you have questions about anything she is always there to help you with them. the study events that she did with the TA were nice to have. there was a lot of cengage but nothing you can't do in less than an hour

If you pay attention and actually do the assignments. Your grade will be good. Making flash cards is important for this class.
Dr. Leacock is my favorite professor at UALR.

Developmental Bio is the hardest class and hardest professor I've had in a long time. I hated this class so much. You better be smart if you want any sort of a good grade in this class. I struggled heavily AND COULDNT EVEN GET A B. You have to be an above proficient student, not an average student. She grades so harshly. Hated it.

Get ready to teach everything to yourself outside of class at an obnoxiously fast pace. You're expected to show up to each class already completely proficient on the material and be able to answer complicated application questions. You're not taught anything in class really. Grading is on a curve and has a lot of cushion though and she is very nice

I've had her for multiple classes and each time it's been my favorite of that semester. She's extremely friendly and wants you to succeed, but will NOT make it easy. It's hard, but you learn a ton. If you just want to pass and don't care about biology, take someone else.

PLEASE READ! I am the student who left the previous developmental biology review. I acted on impulse and I regret leaving that review. Dr Leacock is incredibly smart and this class is super difficult, yes, but towards the end she really showed kindness and understanding. If you take her, be smart, study every day, and you'll be rewarded.

Clear feedback on assignments, we use iClicker for in class participation which counts toward final grade, rarely any tests, very organized with lecture material, NEED to pass the lab to pass the class
