Comment:

I actually enjoyed the class very much. He did trail off on random stories from time to time but I didn't mind that at all. It's nice to have a professor who isn't a textbook reading robot. The projects were fairly hard but if you ask questions and put in the effort you will be graded accordingly.

Comment:

He is a lot harder than the rest of the prof's. He is boring most of the time. But I did learn a lot. He will help you if you put in the time. He won't help you if you don't put in the time and never come to class because you are "sick." If you aren't afraid of work and want to learn something that will help you with individual art review take him

Comment:

His wood classes take a lot of work. I put in 160 hours. His lectures are not very clear especially if you have no wood experience (I do and I struggled.) BUT, IF you put in the time he will help IF you ask. If you don't put in the time he won't help you. he grades based on skill not effort which is stupid for a 100 level class. student beware!

Comment:

Tends to make a lot of sexual references during critiques that made me feel uncomfortable. Grades unfairly, someone got an A on her research project turning it in late and I got an A- and mine was on time and presented to class, it wouldn't be a problem but I'm pissed someone who didn't work as hard as me did better. Take someone else.

Comment:

I get on pretty well with most teachers. But Bill? I think he is a pretty ill-equipped teacher to introduce students to the art program. He's a boring lecturer, very full of himself, and very by-the-book, in a bad way. If you diverge from what he teaches, you're in for the hurt. Don't take his class unless you want to pay $ for a semester of naps.

Comment:

While I am typing this, half of the class are out of it. I guess no one can stand his low volume, mono-tone speaking. I like his art work, but he is just not a good teacher at all. He tells you what's in the test, but doesn't mean it's easy (Mid term next class). The class is no doubt boring, not because of the material but Mr. Leete. Nice guy tho.

Comment:

He is very smart, or at least he sounds like it. however, he is a horrible teacher. very high on his horse and will make you feel like an idiot when you ask him a question. very boring and has a very big ego. probably thinks he's god's gift to art.

Comment:

I might not be the best to rate him, since I dropped out of his class part way through the semester. However, for the short time I was there he was boring and not very helpful if you have questions/issues. If you have a choice, I would take someone else.

This guy is one of the worst teachers. He is very full of himself and plays with his water bottle while he lectures. Doesn't respone to emails and can never remember your name. Bad teachers should be fired! He is one of them.

Projects are hard and boring. Nothing creative about it. If you can take it with another prof do it! His lectures put you to sleep. Grades hard.

Comment:

A lot of people skipped this class because his lectures are so boring. He talks slowly and has an almost dead pan voice. I would not take this class with him if its in the morning! The projects are not impossible, but they are fairly challenging. I would recommend not skipping so you can get help from him on work days, very helpful if you ask.

If you attend class and pay attention you will do fine. Bill is a difficult teacher, but you will learn a lot from him. Give him a chance.

This man has poor time management skills. He talks FOREVER through class and then you have very little time to get your projects finished, and he expects you to be in the studio some 6+ hours outside of class time to work on your projects. Grades hard because you obviously aren't as good as him but lets you turn in projects at the end of semester

The assignments aren't hard just really boring. Made me want to sleep every class. The class isn't bad, but really try to get a different teacher, or don't take it in the morning. Your only aloud to have 3 unexcused absenses, but you can just tell him u we sick and he doesn't count it agaisnt you, the only good thing about him.

Comment:

very out there and narrow minded. He likes to talk about his own work and doesn't grade on effort or skill but basicly if its his taste or not. inconsiderate and makes you feel dumb if you have a question or don't understand something.I went to him several times after class for help and he mocked what i said and humiliated me.i ended up having to bringthe dean into the situation but since he has his ten year there was not much we could do.he knows he can get away with anything cuz hes been there for so long

This man told me he could achieve levitation through extreme meditation. What a waste of money that I paid for his useless mandatory classes. Spent a whole semister discussing some horrible book. I cant even remember who wrote the damn thing so tha t goes to show you how interesting it was. I got absolutely nothing from this professor. Not a damn thing. His hot ass daughters are the only thing good about him.

HORRIBLE TEACHER, STAY AWAY!! Never cared that I didn't have any experiance and was just learning, I was just suppose to know how to do everything. Oh, and if he dosn't like the design, it's a bad grade, no matter how hard you worked on it.
