Reviews of professor Leila Davis

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor seems rude but she does want the best for her students. Goes quick through lectures. Doesnt do review before tests. Doesnt like to be interrupted. Come to class, take notes, do homework before hand and ask questions.

I loved Prof Davis. I wish I'd paid attention more earlier in the semester. She's super willing to help students out if need be, but you definitely have to pay attention in her lectures otherwise you won't pass. I have to take the class again because I'm applying for the accelerated masters track and need a B, but I'm not too sad about it.

I love her. She is DEFINITELY a hard professor but is very passionate and caring about her job. She makes us understand the material not just memorize it, GREAT if you're an econ student, but if you are taking it just as an elective, then I would suggest you dont. She is the BEST and you can tell she knows what she is talking about.

Prof. Davis teaches the material so well. If you attend classes regularly, make use of the textbook and her notes from classes as well as seek her help outside of class, you should do well.

The hardest grader I've ever had at Umass. I'm taking this class for GENERAL EDUCATION and it literally took me almost triple time that I should spend on my major classes. I have 3.6+ GPA and now I'm making this pass/fail, as my first p/f class I've ever had in my entire life. Too exhausted.

Makes students think and pushes for understanding the material, which is great compared to other professors. Truly does want students to learn. Passionate about the subject. Doesn't always give clear explanations though. Lots of group work. Homework once a week, but honestly very hard class. This class had me change my major.
