Reviews of professor Katie Lese

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Katie is so funny and super nice but actually a really tough grader. Youll never get less than a B on a presentation but they count a lot towards your grade. She makes it sound like your group did good but thats not necessarily true. However her reading quizzes and midterm are all open note which helps your grade. The common final exam is dumb.

Katie is a very laid back professor, she likes to get to know her students and keep her classroom as a comfortable environment. However, she makes the assignments seem easy, but she is a very tough grader when it comes to speeches. She makes sure that her class is not an easy A, but she gives great feedback and always answers questions.

Katie is an awesome professor, especially for a required GenEd! Her classroom environment is very laid back and she will have casual conversations with the class before it gets started. She is a tough grader, but she prepares you a lot for the group speeches. You even get one class period before each speech to work with your group. Great class!

I love Katie so much! She is the coolest, most down to earth and hip professor I have had. She is a great professor, but it's pretty hard to get an A on speeches. There are online quizzes that are pretty easy that makes up for the speech though. I would recommend her just out of how cool and friendly and funny she is though!

Katie is so personal and loves getting to know students individually. Her lectures are interesting and interactive. You have to give two big speeches and two smaller speeches, and you have a midterm (STUDY), take home exam (use notes), and the standardized final (same for all SCOM classes). Practice with your group before speeches  piece of cake!

She is a great professor. Every class was entertaining and I would take this class again if I could.

Katie is one of my favorite profs at JMU. She makes class interesting and fun. As long as you show up and take notes you'll be good to go. She says you need the textbook but you really don't. Quizzes each week are based off power points and are really easy. Midterm is an open note take home exam. I loved this class!!!

I LOVE Katie. She was my favorite professor my freshman year and truly helped me enjoy my first semester. She was entertaining, carefree, and super understanding about gtades and any personal problems. She will forever be my my fav professor not because she showed up the first day late and in neon yellow jeans, but because she is actually the best.

Love, love, loved Katie! One of my favorite teachers at JMU. She is so kind and caring and makes a basic and boring gen ed requirement fun and interesting. I liked that she let us pick our presentation groups because having a good group for group presentations is key.
