Reviews of professor Richard Leyland

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor is very clear but could do more to teach us the intuition behind what he is lecturing about. Assignments helped cement understanding in the material. It is easy to do well in his class as long as you pay attention, people who found the class hard got confused early on and never bothered to catch up.

Worst class I've ever taken. There aren't many ways to study if you don't go to lectures and many of the problems on assignments aren't discussed in class. Very difficult class with an awful setup.

He will actually confuse you more, I tried using his lectures leading the tests and found out that he doesnt teach anything that he tests. He only does proofs which doesnt help for the tests and occasionally hell pull out ridiculously hard question out of nowhere. Doesnt help that his lectures put you to sleep either. Take any other prof.

Guy need's to explain what he's lecturing about. Assignments are very rough and are extended way beyond what's covered in class.

The course is intended for those not entering the math stream. However, I really enjoyed the geometric approaches to problems and it's inspired me to switch into Math. He's a good lecturer and seems to care about the material. He provides practice problems online and tutorials for help with homework. Study & view practice tests so tests are easy.

Richard is my favourite professor in the first term. Thanks to him, linear alg is my favourite course too. He has a good sense of humour and makes the whole class motivated. His notes are super useful and covers everything in assignments&tests. This is an easy course which tests on exactly what you learn in class.

He didnt explain what he was lecturing about and made it difficult to follow even if you were in lecture. Someone once asked him for to slow down during the lecture because they were having difficulty following and he told them that he has had hard classes before too and they should write the notes and go over them after lecture to understand
