Reviews of professor Virginia McKee Leone

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Expect to teach yourself. Her teaching style is very vague. She goes through the material so casually & so quickly as if all the students have taken the class before. She used to be the dean of the department but decided to teach again because she claims to love it. A professor of her caliber should be way more detail oriented. Complete joke.

I've taken professor Leone's class twice: Spring 2022, and fall 2023. She comes right away with the lecture when class starts and will take longer on the material; not to mention how she expects us to learn rapidly for the exams, which is hard to follow. She is a nice person, but her lecture is brutal and takes advantage of those with disabilities.

Quite simply, among the greatest educators ever. I had her for both lab and lecture she is an excellent teacher who genuinely cares about her students, giving them additional credit. I'm happy I studied anatomy with her.

Teaching yourself outside of class is a must. Can be passive aggressive when answering your questions. Reading the text book and getting tutoring is only way to thoroughly understand the material, lectures are just an overview of what is really on the test. Says we only need to know certain things for a test and then will add a lot a day before

She is an amazing professor. I really love the way she teaches and I am so glad that I passed her class with an A grade!! She teaches us the way to study which really helped me a lot. I am so happy that I took BIO 50A from her and would really recommend her.

She is a nice and caring professor. She provides lots of handouts and study guides, as well as candy and snacks to wake us up because we are taking the class at night. Her grading is fair, and the class requires a lot of time and effort, especially for the skeletal and muscle unit lab, but it's doable.

She is amazing. She will support you throughout your entire semester. She is someone who wants you to do well, but she is not going to just hand out a grade. She is lecture heavy and it is important that you are there for class every day. She will have a lot of what she lectures on the test (if she repeats it will be on the test).

Professor McKee-Leone is deeply knowledgeable about any subject in the course and since she has so much experience teaching her explanations are succinct and concise. Her dedication to student-centered education is inspirational. The course IS tough no matter the Prof, heavy reading with intense tests but Prof Virginia is approachable & empathetic.
