Reviews of professor Leanne Mallory

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Would not take this prof. again. Lectures are dry and disengaging but Professor Mallory is incredibly knowledgable and nice to your face. Very critical of work and picks out little things to make you feel small about. It is a shame because she has so many interesting subjects to talk about but basically just reads from a PowerPoint.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very dry lectures, made it difficult to go to class, but there are pop quizzes that she doesn't mention so that's the only reason to show up. Powerpoints are 50+ slides with an overload of information. Very easy grader as long as you put in the effort, but expects you to know everything and understand material right away. Do not recommend

Don't take this professor.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lecture's are heavy, but she knows what she's talking about. Lot's of assignments that were straight forward, but the final was brutal and incredibly specific. She was very flexible with finding time to explain things and gave decent feedback. You have to be willing to do a decent amount of work to do really well

This is by far the worst prof I have ever had. Reads directly off slides. Super dry and when you ask her a question she responds with an extremely vague answer or she will say I dont know theres just not enough evidence. When I asked her to clarify what a question meant she said I can't tell you the answer which wasn't what I was asking. RUN! FAST!

It's clear Professor Mallory understands her topic and is passionate about it, but her PowerPoints are incredibly wordy and technical. I understand Linguistics is a difficult subject to teach but the way she words things sometimes is so incredibly long winded I can barely understand her grammar let alone the subject. She is really nice, though. :)

This class was brutal when it came to trying to understand what was going on. The lectures were very dry. But I will say she is an expert in her field and definitely knows her material.

Professor Mallory is incredibly knowledgeable and so badass. Get her to tell you the story about how she got shot at. Her lectures are very very long and technical, but so interesting. Her assignments are easy and are basically a completion grade. Exams are also easy if you pay attention and review a little.

By far the worst prof I have ever had. I have A's in the rest of my courses, and I put in almost double the time/effort just to pass this course with a C. Unreasonable amounts of info for an intro course, and she is unwilling to put any effort in to help her students. Very condescending. Lectures are incredibly dry and hard to follow. Run. FAST.
