Worthless lecture that teaches you barely anything of use about trees. Dumb tests that is more of a fun fact guide. Dont take unless needed

Comment:
Dr. Leopold teaches the section on conifers and woody angiosperms for diversity of life 1. All he did was throw out a bunch of tree species and random fun facts about them. He went way too fast and didn't give us any useful information about any of the trees except maybe 2. We are required to know every species mentioned in lecture for the final.

Comment:
Leopold: The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Study from the workbook, textbook and donated exams in Test Files and you will pass exams. Emphasize studying on tolerance, longevity, growth rate. You will have to identify 70 trees and memorize their scientific names in lab. The hardest lab portions are the gigantic trees at Heath Park and the twig quiz.

Comment:
This class is super informative, and super easy. All you have to do is get the old tests, and memorize them. I guess for people with crappy memories, this class would be hard. Either way, go to lectures and prepare to learn a TON about trees. Amazing class.

He tells you exactly what will be on tests, but you do need to know it to do well. You'll get as much out of the class as you're willing to put in. If you do well, you'll end up identifying trees everywhere you go.

Leopold is a great teacher, but his class is very hard. He also has a great sense of humor. He expects a lot from his students but he also respects them.

I've had him for two classes now. He's a tough grader, with tough tests, but on the whole he's an excellent prof. Very approachable and answers any questions you have on the subject.

Exam questions are tricky. Since he acts like a know-it-all, it's difficult to approach him and ask him questions. But overall he seems like a nice person.
