CollegeNot the worst, but classes aren't organized or thought out. Focus is mainly on the reader with some movies as well, and grade is based on two papers and attendance. Claims to be a tough grader but really isn't.
Lezra is extremely confusing and unorganized. She cancelled class multiple times with no good explanation. She snaps at students randomly in class. She gives extremely vague prompts and expects very precise answers to questions you didn't even know she was asking. She gave me a C on a paper with little to no explanation.
Professor Lezra is a nice lady, but she tries to pack too much unnecessary work into the course. The syllabus was extremely confusing, and she probably revised it at least 5 times. Interesting reading, but the amount of weekly writinggroup discussionsgroup presentations acted more as mundane chores rather than learning tools.
She was a very passionate about her subject. she made it easy for us to do well in her class an got me very involved in the subject she was teaching.
Somehow the easiest class I've ever had, but the only global class I've ever gotten a B in. Doesn't give interesting or retainable information, lectures (if they even happen) are just jargon. Graded on a couple written assignment with easy guidelines but they are graded based on things we weren't aware of. She is nice at least, but don't take.
Lezra is kind and passionate, but extremely disorganized. She doesn't follow the syllabus, assigns readings/assignments with little notice. Lectures are excruciating- no lecture slides (if there are, its just complex text), and hard to follow. Material is interesting, and fair grading.
