Reviews of professor Claire McLeod

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Claire is a great geology professor who really cares about her students. She is always developing new projects for students to complete to help them learn. Extremely organized, consistent grading, clear guidelines, great field trip. Writing assignments but not unreasonably hard. Lots of points, and chances for extra credit. Truely a great professor

Claire is extremely caring and is very accessible outside of class. Assignments are very straightforward and if you have any questions she will basically do the assignment for you in office hours. Would highly recommend this class for the Miami Plan, as it took minimal effort for an A along with the fact that Claire is a great person.

McLeod is a sweet and caring teacher. I enjoyed her lecture videos and her effort to make jokes about stuff that might not be super interesting to some. Class is fairly surface level & most of the work was for completion, & if it wasn't, you most likely got unlimited attempts (class was online). She wants you to try your best to learn the material

I am not a geology or any type of science major so I was worried about taking this class as a first year student, but it was incredibly easy. Every single assignment, quiz, midterm, and final exam is taken online and a lot of them are completed in class together. She will stay after class to talk to students and is always available via email.

If 90% of class did the course evaluation then the final exam was a take-home test (we did it, of course). Tests are easy and require minimal effort. Attendance points are taken through review questions at the end of each lecture and are for completion. Super easy semester long project. Homework is given every Friday with a week given to do it.

I took this class for Miami plan, and it was pretty easy overall. There are a lot of points so its easy to recover but make sure to actually turn in everything even if its late. I didnt really have a personal relationship with her, but she was always super accommodating and we even got a take home final instead of having to take it in class.

McLeod is awesome! She is very clear of what is expected of you and tells you exactly how to prepare for exams. She basically uses in class questions and makes those your exams and typically gives you hints for the extended response. Lots of points in this class so it is easy to recover from a few mistakes here and there. Highly reccomend!

Great teacher. If you ever forget your homework you can email it to her after class and still get points. There are quizzes every class that are graded based on completion, not accuracy. The tests are very easy because they are based on old quiz questions (which are posted on canvas). Go to class and you will be fine.
