Reviews of professor Josh de Leeuw

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Extremely smart and knowledgeable on a huge range of cog sci topics. Amazing to do research with and also really kind and funny. He is excellent at presenting difficult material well and is extremely insightful. He expects a lot from his students but it's 100% worth it to take his classes. His guidance has helped me immensely in my academic career.

Great class! de Leeuw is a good lecturer, with efficient, entertaining, and well-presented slides. He leaves lots of class time for discussion. The readings aren't checked, but are important to class discussions and essays (and very interesting). He is accessible in office hours, and gave feedback on all drafts before asking for final submissions.

Amazing lecturer who makes Cognitive Science a very interesting subject. However the amount and complexity of the readings and the expectations from the written assignments are just too much for a 100 level course. On top of that, the grading system is SO tough that around 90% of the class doesn't get an A.

Funny, smart, friendly, and definitely knows his stuff. A great professor. Class design is awesome because you get to do real research.

So, so great. Most I've ever enjoyed a lecture-based class. Made me fall in love with cog sci. He cares personally about students and their success.
