Leslie Berns ARTT110 Expecting an A fellowterp2022 01/21/2019	Berns is a good teacher for beginners who may not know the technicalities of the art world. She'll provide helpful feedback on your pieces and is easy to approach and talk to. She grades on effort that is put into art pieces rather than accuracy or high level of mastery. Lectures on introductory topics, like shape/perspective/etc, by Leslie Berns may seem dry and sometimes, the thoughts she shares are repetitive or take her a while to formulate into a sentence (only because she's trying to explain in the best way possible).
Leslie Berns ARTT100 Expecting an A Anonymous 03/18/2011	Professor Berns is one of the coolest professors at MD. I had her for Art Theory and Studio Art. She's really flexible and is a really nice person overall. In Theory, it's clear that she knows exactly what she's talking about (she went to Yale) but she has some trouble explaining it. For Studio, it was only a 100-level class so she graded on how much effort you put into it, not on how talented you are. Definitely take a class with her if you can.

Leslie Berns ARTT100 mayabcd 03/25/2010	She is amazing. I really do love her. Berns understands that Art isn't the only thing we're doing, and she is so flexible with due dates and assignments. Very easy to talk to, and she gives good feedback and insight. Some of the concepts are strange, but she clarifies if you ask her to do so. Make sure you put some effort into the projects and assignments. She praises effort, not necessarily good work. Just relax and enjoy, because you'll probably not have another class as great as this one.

Leslie Berns ARTT150 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/23/2009	Prof. Berns is a great teacher. I went into this class not expecting it to be easy or interesting. Turns out, it was probably my best and easiest class this semester. The class is really laid back, and she does everything in her power to help you out. The midterm and final were really easy, as long as you review your notes you should get an A. There are 2 museum visits over the course of the semester which kinda sucked, but if you go they are easy points. I highly recommend this course.

She is very easy.. you barely have any quizzes during the week, but you do have to do the reading so you can discuss it in class. You have the option to stay quiet,but talking about it makes her like you more! The textbook is everything you need to know for the tests and the textbook is not difficult to understand either.
Leslie Berns ARTT100 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/25/2008	She doesn't really follow the syllabus so it is a very easygoing class where you complete projects as assigned. even if you get Bs on some projects don't be afraid, effort is important, attend class (attendance points) and you should come out with an A. be careful with craftmanship because it counts! Try, go to class, have fun, speak up!!!! and you will be golden.
