Reviews of professor Ariel VanLeuven

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The amount of points she takes off assignments for insignificant things is ridiculous. She once told us a story about how one of her research papers got roasted because they thought she wasn't a native English speaker due to how many errors it had, yet she is the harshest grader I've ever had with regard to papers... like get real

Definitely cares about students and wants to help. However, can seem unsure of herself at times. Overall not too bad as long as you study the information gone over in lecture. I rented the textbook and then barely used it because the majority of material is covered in lecture.

I agree with the below comments about her grading, but I'd even go as far as to say she's a picky grader rather than a tough grader. A tough grader at least gives credit where it's due. You really can't win with the bio department here, though, so pick your poison.
