Reviews of professor Leslie Salas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I loved professor Salas, she's very passionate and cares about her students. My class wrote essays about space and I absolutely loved it. She's a tough grader, but she really wants you to learn how to write better. I definitely grew as a writer in her class and would love to take her again!

Assignments are graded unfairly as the responses you get for why they are, just don't justify. Very clear with how she wants things done but doesn't accepts your trying your best to fit her formate/style.

If you like unclear grading rubrics, rules to change on the fly, mandatory attendance that could result in letter grade changes, and the assumption that you already know everything the class teaches prior to enrolling; Be careful! I've never done so much work on a weekly bases (6-9 med/large assignments) for a 2nd-year level class in my life.

Leslie is a fair professor. You will have to put a lot of effort into her class to pass. The technical report is the most difficult part of the class. She breaks everything down into manageable sections to help lower the stress of the paper. I recommend her.

She is nice, but her class is challenging. She is very thorough with her grading and directions. She expects you to read and study every resources she provides. If you do not enjoy writing, I recommend you take someone else, and do not do what I did which was take HU 142 & COM 221 with her in the same semester (double the work). Not easy at all!

Felt like I should update my rating for this; now a Senior who had her for a freshman class COM122. It was the worst grade I have received in any class ever (I have over a 3.5 cumulative GPA. Attendance policy is harsh, everyone seemed to get C's and D's on papers and grading seemed very biased. This 100 level class was like an unfair grad class NO
