This class was fairly tough but work hard and you will be okay. Leona is a very sweet lady, this is the second class I have taken with her. Do not let the reviews on here scare you. She expects a lot from you which is not a bad thing. 5 forum posts, 5 lengthier assignments. No textbook, miderm or final. Would take her again!

Decent enough teacher, but is often way too wordy. Could honestly use less obscure wording as it makes her teaching harder to follow. I am not the only student who thinks this. Interesting topics and class though! Just felt like she made it more confusing than it should have been.

I am surprised that Dr. Anderson has so many poor ratings. I thought she was quite nice. 268 was a web delivered class. There are no exams or lectures. You are required to do a lot of reading and submit 10 assignments. If you are good at time management and listen to her feedback it's a fairly easy/enjoyable course.

Comment:

I was SO excited for class this class and quickly had my heart broken by the first three assignments that I did not pass. I subsequently dropped the class to save my GPA. She expects me to have 9 hours a day to slave over a forum question(s), which are the actual worst. I have never seen a more unreasonable class at the U of R. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Comment:

Honestly, RLST 268 was a waste of my time. Every second week, she wants approximately 8 pages worth of "beyond the surface" questions, and then she makes you do forums. Anderson, nobody likes forums. This class made cults boring. I literally never knew what to do to please her. Got 39% on an assignment.... I'm a MAJOR! This shouldn't happen.

She is unreasonable. For a second year class she expects fourth year knowledge. She is a nice lady but nice can't save a crappy class. I would never recommend her as a professor to anyone.

Leona knows her subject, is highly organized and gives constructive feedback. Class requirements/expectations are clearly stated. Assignments are marked in a timely manner. I thoroughly enjoyed this on-line class and learned a lot; the subject matter was very interesting. I was really impressed with her!

Comment:

Leona was knowledgeable about the content in the course and nice to talk to if you had any q's. The course itself consisted of about 10 lengthy forum posts/responses and 5 research assignments. There was no mandatory textbook as there were online resources available. Put the work in and you get a good mark. Was a VERY interesting class on cults.

Comment:

You have to read the textbook and do some independent research for assignments, but it's nothing unreasonable. Leona was very clear in her expectations and if you follow them, you will get a good mark. Leona encouraged an open mind when approaching all religions and was very knowledgeable. I would take another class taught by her again.

She assigns multiple readings/videos per week. I couldn't get higher than a 68% on any assignment, even after following her feedback from previous assignments. Wasn't engaged with the class at all. The content was not what I expected it to be. Wouldn't take another class with her again.

Comment:

I took this class online as an elective, she has to be the laziest, least present prof I have ever had on an online course. She assigns approx 10 articles to read, plus several videos to watch for each module then only has 5 slides of her own writing. She marks extremely tough and even if you follow her advice you'll only gain about 5%.

I don't know what her lectures are like since I took an online course but she was easy to reach, she gave good feedback, and assignments were graded quickly. For each unit (including reading chapters, forum discussions and case assignments) I put in about 10 hours of work.

Class is graded on 5 assignments and 5 forum posts. For all 10 of these, use scholarly resources from both the course and ones that you found doing your own research. Use her feedback to improve you grade. Go above the word limit for assignments and posts to get a better grade. Use examples to prove your points. Great prof and interesting class.

Comment:

She cannot teach whatsoever, graded super hard and when asked for grading rubric she responded that the mark was out of 5. Would actually put effort in each forum post and would be marked oddly (3.2/5, 2.7/5, ect.). Was excited for this class, but her grading and unclear modules ruined the whole subject for me.

Leona's class is extremely interesting, but is equally as challenging. It is a little bit disappointing, as you often feel like you have learned from her feedback, but you never seem to get it just right.

A Great prof, you may not agree with her all the time but she is open for any opinion and ideas. a very relaxed way of teaching and an outstanding person. if you do not learn any thing from his class you would still learn enough from her which will last you for life. Interested in religious studies try her.

This class was decently interesting, and the marking was quite fair. If given the option do the presentations. Classmates said that the tests, while not hard were way too long for the time given. Overall it was a decent enough class, could be a bit dry at points though.

I was kind of put off by the negative comments on this site. However i am glad i took the class anyways. Leona was awesome very understanding, gives you lots of opition to make the class your own. You get the opition (2times) of a presentation, paper, or exam. Followed by 3 assignments and a small exam. She is wonderful and i reccomend her x 9!

I'm not sure I understand all the terrible comments--sure, she may not be the best professor I've had but she is good. I found her lectures organized and interesting. She encouraged a lot of class discussion and seemed to enjoy hearing our opinions. She has tough but very fair expectations, and you can do well in her class.
