Reviews of professor Lea Bastin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Excellent Session-A course. You will use Cengage MindTap for HW and quizzes, but these assignments can be completed multiple times. Discussion forum every week as well and then two papers for the entire course, plus a final exam. If you do the hw and put in effort, it's an easy A.

The professor did not submit grades for the class until three days after the final grade deadline. I understand issues occur for professors that interfere with timely grading, but no assignments were graded during the class' four month period. The saving grace is that the class on its own was easy to learn.

This class has a lot of homework, there is a reading, 4 homework assignments on MindTap, and a discussion post every week, and occasional essays. That being said, the class is easy, it can just be time consuming. Bastin leaves everything to MindTap and does not interact much but responds quickly to any questions. It's a typical online course!

Our grade was based off 4 tests worth 50 points a piece, and two papers with very vague instructions. Not only did our papers come back over a month and a half after submitting, she graded harshly on her vague prompt. Boring professor, read off her black and white text slides that were made probably 30 minutes before class.

She made the class very boring. Not effort at all to get an A.

Overall Bastin is a good professor. She grades very easy and attendance is mandatory. The midterm exam and final were incredibly easy and were open book. Go to the nonmandatory lectures too so you can get a sneak peek of what is on the exams. One downside is how long it takes her to grade, takes her about 3-5 weeks to grade ONE assignment.
