Comment:
She seems like a nice person at first but she put down students who answer incorrectly in class. She had little patience for those who ask her about her marking system, yet, she made mathematical errors after EVERY test and project. She also tested on things never discussed in class. Was very frustrating.

Leah is incredibly helpful and is constantly making herself available to her students. Personally, I found the course material dull having learned a lot if it in highschool, but she does try to make it interesting and shows current examples where she can. Would recommend her for sure.

It's all in the details with Leah. There is no point in going to class because all she does is read slideshows (that she posts online) in a monotone voice.

I took my first Earth Science course with Leah about 6 years ago at Kwantlen. I loved it so much I majored in it and became a geologist. I was just thinking back on how I got to this point, and her class played a huge role. Great teacher.

Leah is super nice and she tries to keep the course interesting. The inclass labs are actually fun and even her exams were interactive. She isn't the easiest marker though. I got a B- and study a fair amount. She is really particular but she is a good teacher. I would take her again.

Very nice prof. Lectures are dry, but very clear. It is important to attend because her exams are based on notes and labs are marked on completion. She will do anything to help you out or clarify material. Grade is made up from completed lab assignments, a map with a couple small writeups, a midterm and a final.

She's a great instructor. Very helpful and kind. Lectures were brutal though. You'd have to be extremely interested in rocks and land formations to be able to stay awake.

very nice, labs are an easy 10% and super easy to complete. Final project is easy as well. Midterms can be a little difficult but lab exams are decent. still uses old slides and overhead for notes (kind of annoying) answers any questions you have. u'll be spending the full amount of time in class) lectures can be bit dry

super nice. labs are not tough and they are just completion marks so an easy 10%. lab tests are fair but the midterm she marks hard on the short answer. you defs need to know your stuff to get full marks,no faking it here.she is always willing to help and cares about her students.sometimes lectures are boring but if your interested you will make it

Awesome prof!!! Yes, her tests are tough.. Yes, her final is ridicously hard... But can you get a good mark? Yes, if you work your butt off.. literally your butt has to come off to pass this course.. but guess what.. Everything I learnt, I still remember.. can't say that about any of my other classes.

Enjoyed this class, however it is more geology(rocks) than geography(maps). She was a very helpful teacher, and as long as you study hard you will get a good mark. Read the textbook, especially the summaries, for her quizes b/c she gets a lot of questions from there. Other than that, take her class if you enjoy Geology.

Very kind prof. She goes out of her way to help, answer questions and is clear about what will be on tests. That being said, even with extensive notes and doing all readings, tests were very hard (eg. tries to trick w/ multiple choice options); you couldn't tell if you passed or bombed. You can get a good grade but you must work for it. Recommend!

Boring? yes, but so what? She tells you exactly what to study for the exams, and marks her tests hard but fair. Always available to help. You cant expect to do well in any class without hard work, this class is no exception. Put in the work and you'll do well. Simple. Im getting an A+ right now

DONT TAKE HER, unless you want to completely bring down your GPA!!! She is extremely boring, and thinks that she is funny. That class sucks! Her tests are hard, and very detailed.

Leah is hard, and expects a lot from her students. Her lab tests aren't too hard, but her exams are killer. You will definitely learn form her if you put the effort inot the class though. Probably wouldn't take another class with her.
