Reviews of professor Leslie Pierce

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I was nervous with this being a night class that I would have trouble staying awake, but she gave plenty of breaks and engaging content. She was one of very few teachers to bring up the mental health crisis at NC State and took it into account when assigning work. There isn't a ton of work and you can get a lot out of the class!

Professor Pierce is a very understanding and respectable professor. The class material is engaging considering you enjoy the topic. There are two exams, 3 assignments, a book club discussion grade, and a final paper. She will work with you on any assignment as long as you communicate with her on it.

Very respectful of any problems you might have with the class/assignments. Also really flexible when it comes to due dates and extensions. Always really helpful and as long as you show up to class and do the readings you will do fine.

Professor Pierce is amazing, would love to take more courses with her in the future. Incredibly caring and kind to her students, you can tell she truly wants the best for everyone and is willing to work with students individually to meet goals. Not much emphasis placed on arbitrary assignments, class is mostly discussion/participation based.

Completely unprofessional. She was absent the entire semester. She communicated that to nobody including the university. She was away from school & did not answer her emails or grade anything until two weeks before classes were finished. She ended up giving everyone good grades because she didn't have time to grade anything. Waste of my time and $.

Professor Pierce is one of the best out there. She is so kind and caring. SOC 381 was extremely easy, not much work, and only three quizzes. She even canceled the last quiz and gave us all 100s because of some recent tragedies at NC State. She truly cares about her students and it shows. 10/10 recommend.

Professor Pierce is so considerate of her students. She knows what she is talking about, and is always willing to work with you if you communicate. She understands what students go through so she will do whatever she can to help.

Nice Professor and is very lenient with grades and deadlines. I forgot to take my final and she was nice enough to reopen for me to take it.

She is not only a great educator, making lectures fun and interesting, but she is also a wonderful person. She proves often that she cares about us by learning our names by the second class, addressing problems with NC State that other teachers don't know/care about, and always offering a listening ear. Take her, and treat her kindly!
