Reviews of professor Alexey Leontyev

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I HATE this class. I knew it would be difficult but Alexey has taught me NOTHING. And now everything is online because of COVID and I have to teach myself, still learning nothing! Not that I would have in class either, but you think with everything going on he would be more understanding. NOPE. Probably going to fail, not learning a single thing.

OChem is already a really tough class and Dr. L does not make it any easier. Much of this class is self taught. You have to rely heavily on the textbook as there is pre-homework before you learn the material in class. There is just too much homework in general, and it does not even match the kinds of problems on tests. Steer clear if you can!

Very, very poor teacher. He does not have a good structure for teaching the class. You have to read the textbook and do homework before he even teaches the material in class. The stuff he teaches in class and the homework problems is not at all what comes on the exams. Any questions asked during class or office hours are not fully answered.

Alexey is the worst chemistry professor ever. He is too smart to teach students that struggle with the material. He does not care if students pass or fail..  he laughed at the fact that most people are going to fail his class. He doesn't answer your emails so be prepared to be left in the dust. WORST PROFESSOR EVER. He makes this hard class harder.

He is not that bad of a professor. You are going to have to put a lot of work into this class and he sets high expectations. As long as you attend lectures, do the quizzes/practice problems, and complete the homework this class is not as bad as people make it out to be. He can be not the nicest sometimes.

Seemed like he didn't want to be there. The exams were very difficult and nothing like the content we did in class. Very disorganized and I never knew what we were going to be doing on any given week. Definitely ask for extra credit opportunities and if he offers do them because that's the only reason I got a good grade in this class.

No idea what grade I'm going to get but people were consistently scoring 30% on exams. An 85 is an a so do with that as you please. He takes his own time to respond to emails, mumbles during lectures and just a rude person overall. The textbook is the only way I slightly understand o chem. He also gave us ANOTHER PROFS videos to learn content from!
