Comment:
His lectures were only for a hour and he always ran over, I left early everyday just to make it to my next class. His exams were a little tough, for absolutely never covering nearly enough material in class. So during his lectures READ AND TAKE NOTES. The textbook is key to passing, he is not.

Terrible experience with this professor. I was really excited to major in psychology, but this professor made me lose all interest in the subject. I hope to get another/different professor that sparks my interest once again.

All in all he is pretty terrible despite being funny I guess? He goes on long tangents of trash during the lectures He's terrible with his study guides too as he posts them 2 days before, oh and the final exam if you dont have his study guides the DAY they are posted dont expect to get them he takes them down and you're on your own lol

Comment:
His lectures are never actually about what he claims they will be on. He spirals into tangents and rants that take up most of the class period. If you read the book and attend the lab you will pass this class; actually attending the lectures never helped me a whole lot. It has the potential to be an awesome class; just don't take it with Leith.

Comment:
This class was boring and easy. So many students would show up and watch TV, movies, do other homework assignments during the two hour class and still pass! I wish there was more structure and control over his class, even though it was relatively large. Professor Leith did however know the material and was extremely passionate about it!

Comment:
His lectures were long and boring and overall, pointless to attend. He would ramble about things not pertaining to what you were supposed to be learning about. He would give wrong information a lot of times. He wouldn't go to his office hours or respond to emails. He made a class that I thought was going to be fairly easy, quite difficult.

Comment:
Lectures are long, boring and are more about his past experiences than the actual material. If you don't read the text, you probably won't get good grades on the tests. Tests are difficult. He was difficult to understand at times and quite confusing most of the time.

He was awful, lectured for two hours straight without a PowerPoint, or any other aid. His stories didn't relate to the book at all, he wouldn't give us his office hours and rarely responded to emails. This class was awful, I dreaded going to it. Reading the book didn't really help, overall he was the worst professor I've ever had

attendance is very helpful very little of test is from lecture only but the lecture really put the conceptual thoughts together that the test require of you. there is a lab that is idiot proof lab attendance is mando 25% of grade. this teacher is fun and interesting and i highly recommend him. study guides are given before every test

Everyone says he was hard when they took him, but I found his class really easy. Study guide questions ARE the exam questions. Labs are very easy extra points.

He's insane. He's impossible to understand and his mustache is far too distracting. But he is entertaining. If you aren't good at science and need to get a lab out of the way, it's a good way to do that.

He is a great prof, he keeps class interesting and is actually really funny. Good class TA & lab suck. He gives great study guides and there is usually a review session. If you want to get an A you need to read parts of the book to complete the study guide though. He does use overheads and talks softly sometimes so sit near the front if you can.

He's not for everybody, but you don't really have a choice for this class. Just do the study guides and you'll be fine

Comment:
Though the course work is interesting it's because the text chosen was good and not because Leith was a good professor. Sometimes he was difficult to hear and used his visual aids in a somewhat pointless way. I would suggest taking the class but if you can, take it with a different professor.
