Nice and funny guy but the class requires a lot of focus and studying. If you don't take tests well you probably wont do well in his classes.

VERY VERY boring. It was so difficult to get through 2 hours of this class. He is a very factual based teacher. He focuses on the notes and uses powerpoints. OLD FASHIONED.

He is an awesome professor who is willing to help anytime. He doesn't hand you an A but provides you with many review sessions and chances to get your grade up. His lectures are all powerpoints and are easy to follow

Dr. Leavy is an amazing man. He was so helpful when I was falling behind in his class, and worked with me to get my grade up. I could not be more thankful. Lectures are a little dull, but he does his best to make jokes and keep his students interested. Any student would be lucky to have Dr. Leavy as a professor.

Absolutely Phenomenal! He's my advisor, never met a better man in my life. Kind, compassionate, understanding, helpful, attentive to the needs of the student.. the list goes on. Best professor ever, not necessarily the easiest, but damn does he know how to teach.

Great professor! He explains things in real-world terms so that memorizing material isn't necessary. I felt like I learned a lot, but the class wasn't that difficult.

This guy was one of the best teacher's I've ever had! He's very up to date with examples and really just wants you to learn the material. If all my teachers were like him, I'd probably have a Fortune 500 company right now.

Class can sometimes be boring due to meandering lectures and lack of visuals. In Community the book is pretty necessary, but not so much in Abnormal. He offers extra info and assistance with or without prompting. His manner of interacting is a bit awkward.

Comment:
I have had Leavy for O-B, Abnormal and Commun. He is very energetic and knowlegable about the psychology field- he is always recommending outside psych. books (just for fun or further info). He is fair and tests accurately. He even lets you argue your answers to multiple choice questions! His classes do come with a lot of textbook readings though.

I liked the class, but I was interested in the topic going in...it might be different for others. His lectures are a bit jumbled and his PowerPoint skills are lacking. He's kinda weird/awkward/socially inept outside of class.

Dr. Leavy is the man. He made me interested in Psychology as a major. His class is fun and he has a great personality. His teaching style is great and he is very helpful. The only negative comment I have is that you have to work to get the A.
