Reviews of professor Alexandra LeBlanc

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I don't recommend her class at all. She is a kind professor but that does not outweigh the excessive amount of work she assigns. The midterm and final ask you to write 3 essays, 5 pages long. This wouldn't have been crazy if it was the ONLY class I was taking. She is also a tough grader which is unfair considering the insane amount of work assigns

What ruined the class for me was the midterm. 3 questions, one essay response per question, 5-6 PAGES each essay. I suppose this could be manageable, if it werent for the short time period. No student could effectively write basically 15 pages in 3 days. it is midterm season, we have other midterms and assignments to worry about that are due also!

LeBlanc is not super heavy on work at all, and as long as you pay attention during lectures and do the reading you'll do fine. Actually having an interest in the art shown in class and the analyses provided helps a lot. Nice lady.

LeBlanc is by far my favorite professor at UCR, very passionate, descriptive, clear n concise in her lectures. Reasonable grader with helpful feedback. Only con is she doesn't give a study guide for exams but vaguely tells you what to expect. Very organized and approachable. Didn't require the book and mostly bases exams on readings n class notes.
