Reviews of professor Joanne Leow

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is an overall great person. Bubbly personality and knows her stuff. Her lectures go by quick because she makes it interesting. She Mark's on participation but she also says you can email her the participation marks if you ask.

I found that she could be kind of rude and condescending sometimes, and seemed like she didn't want her students to succeed at times. I enjoyed her lectures, but I wish that the hard work I put in paid off in my grades. I listened to everything she said on an essay and still didn't get the mark I wanted which was confusing.

Professor Leow has adapted very well to online courses and takes the thoughts of her students very seriously. She does give a lot to read but most of it is pretty short. Lectures are long but 2x speed is very good.

Essay's are super hard in this class, but she gives good feedback.

I often found myself worse off when going to her for advice on how to improve my essay. Feedback on work was horrible. 

I will give her credit, her lectures were interesting and well put together and if you are good at English going into this course, you will most likely be fine. If you are not, get ready to use the writing center a lot.

I thought that Leow was super helpful and caring. She makes it really clear what she expects in order to get a good grade and she is always willing to help people. She adapted to online learning very well, was understanding of the challenges that come with it and her lectures were very interesting. But I was always worried that she hated me.

I tried my best in this class and this class felt like a slap of elitist Eng. Prof reality. Very vague in assignment instructions, and if they were "clear" you had to read the instructions twice; your paper might get a bad grade because of that. Interesting lectures to say the least. Also felt condescending at times in emails when I needed help.

Amazing professor! Shes passionate about her subject n that shows in her lectures, they were interesting and never boring as long as you do the readings. Tough marker but works to the advantage of the student, she wants you to learn and provides feedback to help you learn from mistakes. Very helpful and approachable.

Great prof! Tough grader but that might just be my poor writing skills. She brought a lovely sense of humour to her lectures and taught me a lot that I'll take with me outside the classroom. I didn't get a good grade but I sure learned a lot.

Her lectures are very informal and interesting. She is a hard marker but goes out of her way to make sure students understand what she is saying .
