Reviews of professor Kenneth Leon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
expects a lot from an intro class but gives a lot in return. Tries really hard to promote learning and not just being there for a grade or your GPA. Sometimes too much reading but does a good job with including videos, non-scholarly websites and links.

Professor Leon is such a kind man who genuinely wants to share his passions with his students. While the class is writing intensive, it is not difficult and he is a very generous grader who wants his students to pass. I am grateful to have had him.

Professor Leon's dedication to his students' success showed his caring side. Despite the complexity of the subject matter and his use of "clunky terminology," he always ensured that every student understood the material and never fell behind. His classes were about learning and inspiring a deeper understanding and appreciation for the subject.

One of the best classes Ive taken, the readings were AMAZING. It was definitely a lot of reading but omg so worth the read!! I read some of the best pieces ever in his class. Hes also super knowledgeable in the material and open to criticism which is necessary in his field. Loved his class & would definitely take again.

readings are heavy. Topics are heavy. Syllabus is overwhelming, but if you keep up with the readings and ask questions you should be good.

LOTS of reading and intense lectures that can get either boring or too intense with the concepts. Hard to get an A but you'll learn a lot and see things from different perspectives. Leon expects more work than is reasonable but also keeps it real with the class as a whole and you can tell he cares about the material.

Not only is Dr Leon very knowledgeable on the material, but he seriously cares for his students and their understanding of the lecture material. Very attentive to emails. His answer is always a yes for extensions, just ask! He also likes to make cringy-funny jokes which are like bruhh :/ but it's a good laugh. Ask for help and you'll get an A.

Amazing professor who cares a lot about his students+work. Changed my previous perceptions on society as a Latino+was understanding/listening. Weekly readings = annoying, but class discussions are the best parts of class. Big concepts can be hard to grasp, but he explains well. No final, just a paper. Highly recommend if you like being challenged.

8:30am, 3-hour straight.... That worked against the class in the beginning with time the in-class meetings were worth it. reading intensive. fair and personalized feedback which is rare. actual course topic was really good (state/corporate crime).
