Reviews of professor David Leigh

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures were extremely boring and not very helpful to learn the material. Attendance is graded and if you skip class you will miss material he talks about that is on quizzes and tests. Reading the textbook and taking good notes can get you an okay grade, but I would not recommend taking this instead of physical geography. It isn't easier.

This class itself should have been very easy, however, he took this intro level class way too seriously. He included his own research on the tests, which he had maybe mentioned once. There was no structure or way to know what was important & most people did poorly. He was not accommodating at all & was overall extremely rude and incredibly boring.

I hated him so much. attendance is mandatory and anything that came out of his mouth could be on the test. at times over 400 slides had to be studied for a 25 QUESTION QUIZ and he wouldnt narrow it down. absolutely impossible to study for, and that made me withdraw from the class. he also doesnt care that you are struggling and wont help you.

Not an easy A. Lectures are very heavy. He pulls 5 questions from each lecture for the quizzes and then pulls a separate 4-5 questions for the 2 midterms. He has an optional final that is all short answer, quizzes and test are all in-person on paper, and he doesn't allow for lots of time to take it.

Attendance was not mandatory, but he would talk about things that were not on the power points that would be on the tests. The final was optional and you could decide if you wanted to take it or not. Quizzes were online and overall it was a pretty simple class. I liked how he pulled in softwares like ARCGIS and Google Earth to help us learn.
