Reviews of professor David Leigh

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Leigh was definitely very knowledgeable and passionate about class materials, but he did not try to stimulate that passion in his students. Super lecture heavy. 60% grade is tests, 40% quizzes. I took this class as an easy A and it has ended up being my hardest class this semester. Do not take this if you are looking for an easy A.

very nice man and good teacher, just teaches concepts that are hard to grasp

Switched up exam format with a month left in the semester. Honestly the content itself isnt terrible but the specific niche questions Professor Leigh asks sometimes pertain to absolutely nothing youve learned. The textbook is an absolute must, and lectures will be your saving grace. Lectures were dry and he was passionate but he was not engaging.

if you're looking for an easy A, don't take Leigh. he has to be the most boring professor I have ever taken. he also includes his own research on assignments so make sure you go to class. just find another professor. it's not worth it.

This professor has a tendency of dropping large amounts of VERY detailed data sets the lecture before exams which will ruin all your weekends. He lectures until people start packing up on their own and he only grades based off quizzes and tests. BEWARE and don't take this class.

This was one of the worst classes I have ever taken. It's clear that the instructor doesn't want to be there. tho attendance isnt mandatory, if you miss even 1 or 2 classes, you're screwed for the exams/quizzes bc the content is so lecture heavy and over vague things he mentions once. Quizzes/tests are hard and he grades off of 6 assessments total.

You really have to pay attention in class and take notes on what he is saying, rather than what is on the slides because on the test he will put a ton of questions based on random facts that he said verbally. He posts slides on elc and is an overall nice guy, but his lectures are really really boring if you dont have the same passion as him

Lectures are long and insanely boring. Only two midterms, a few quizzes in between. Has "required reading" but doesn't cover some of the stuff in the textbook but you don't know what. Rude about having to to miss class. Tests and quizzes you on random things he'll mention once and quietly during lecture so you miss it.

Entire grade based on 6 quizzes, 2 tests and the optional final. Tests are 75 questions in 75 minutes and quizzes are 14-16 questions in 15 minutes. He did not post recorded lectures and he was very boring in his lectures. I can tell it is material he is passionate about but he did not try to inspire that passion in his students.
