Comment:

I took HIS103 Asynchronous with Dr. Manso and she was AMAZING online. Message her within blackboard and she'll answer. Great class if you are independent. Writing assignments every week, but you watch a video and fill in the blanks (I used auto-transcript on youtube) and it was the only assignment each week. 1 final paper that was long, start early

Comment:

Professor Manso was a difficult professor to work with, I think there is some things she says that can be lost in translation. She was however very knowledgeable on the topics discussed and lectures were informative sometimes. Not really any tests, just a final paper which was long and tedious.

Manso is great, IF you go to class. If you miss class you will 100% fail the course without a doubt. She is very nice and easy to set up meetings with to discuss grade. She gives 2 2500 word papers which are very dense and actually end up being 3500 if you want fit it all.

Comment:

My ultimate impression of Dr. Manso is that, as a professor, her personality can come off as being very intimidating or even sometimes scary. However, as a person, she is very understanding. I took the blended course and she assigned work at the same time every week which was really nice in order to manage my time better for other classes.

She offers a lot of work but she's super nice and understanding. She's good about attendance but is flexible with her lesson plans. A lot of the time we would watch movies or TV shows or documentaries in class and right a reflection for homework. She even brought in pizza for everyone one time. She loves having the class work in groups.

Comment:

The amount of work she expects one to do for this 3 credit course is over the top. Her lectures often are circular, or parts won't make sense at all, or she will contradict something she said a minute ago as if she didn't just say the opposite thing. Very confusing and stressful course overall, but not impossible.

Comment:

Lectures are absolutely terrible grading and homework's are extremely confusing pretty sure she doesn't fully understand how to use black board making things extremely confusing. During lectures she just goes round and round never getting to the point and can sometimes be hard to understand and that gets annoying on top of her constant reputation.

Hands down worst professor ive ever had. She can be hard to understand at times because of her accent and repeats words and phrases incredibly often. Assigns an insane amount of repetitive work (like 3-4 hour long documentaries that cover the exact same material as the reading) and requires INHUMANELY TINY HAND WRITTEN notes for a final. Avoid!

Somewhat unclear guidelines on graded assignments. Very easy to fail the class over small things at times (ex: if your final exam notes aren't perfect in every single way, she'll fail both your final exam and class grade). Overall, I'd avoid her if another Humanities professor is available.

No organization/structure. Tons of work, but you never know what or when she'll go over homework. Participate in class; she does discussions most days. You HAVE to read the textbook. Gives specific guidelines for papers; ask questions and follow the guidelines and you should do well. She can be funny if your class participates and does the work.

Leira Manso is one of the best professors I've ever had. There were things I didn't understand, and she patiently assisted me during office hours. If you like to learn, she will teach you. If you're looking for a free credit, then try ITT. She is also very attractive. Binghamton is diverse. People have accents. Don't be racist.

Comment:

Do NOT take her class. She treats a 3 credit course like it's a 6 credit course. She has you read 20 pages of the textbook, watch a 60 minute documentary, answer questions for analysis, and answer 10-15 other questions related for the meeting in only a 2 day span. She acts like her class is the only one in the world. Just AWFUL

Comment:

Professor Manso expects her students to understand the materials from the textbook in order to have a discussion about the topic in class. She doesn't accept late work and late is always better than absent. She gives out a lot of unnecessary work (in my opinion) that are not too hard to handle if you commit the time.

She's the reason why I go home every night and cry. She was very insensitive and was not helpful when asked questions during class. I have a gpa of 3.9 and I couldn't get an A in her class.

Comment:

She will ask students of questions that is not in the reading, and she wants the exact answer or it won't help the discussion. Expect to participate. She posts work the day before it is due, leaving students little time to do so. And, she has a heavy accent that many students could not understand. Don't take her class, save yourself the trouble.
