Professor Leyden has a dry humor and a fair sense of grading. To do well in this class you have to understand the material and not memorize it. The TAs and professor give plenty of opportunity for 1-on-1 sessions and office hours. Although some people find this class hard, it is one of the most straightforward classes in Dyson. Recommended!

Leyden is an amazing professor. He cares for his students, and if you talk to him he is very understanding. His class is very difficult and I felt like I wasn't going to pass it, however, it is designed for you to understand it and to think outside the box. If you like econ, take him, if not, take Terry. Curve is very helpful for his class.
