He is the man i love the way he teaches and really seems to care about the students and if they really get the matterial. He is totally a character and is very enthusiastic about his lectures which make it fun. He also goes over all the tests before you take them but you must study a little to do well.

This professor is so hard to understand. I would ask him to clarify he would get very angry. Others in the class appreciated my asking because we could NOT understand him!! He does not bend on any rules that he writes so read the syllabus and rules sheets CAREFULLY! Pick your seat on the first day wisely because it will be yours for the year :)

Very enjoyable lecture as Dr. Leung is very funny. The tests are written primarily based on lectures, however, some questions are from the text. I found the assignments (we only had a few) very easy but the tests are pretty hard. Be prepared for LOTS of studying. I have a 90% average but would be very happy to get higher than 75% in this class.

Pretty easy class. All the lectures are on Blackboard. He gives a recap before a test and a review after the test. The tests are straight from lecture. He also takes roll almost every day. If you attend lecture and study somewhat for the test, you'll be fine! There is also a paper that was worth 10 points. He makes the topic enjoyable and fun!

I do not understand why he has gotten such high ratings. The class is very difficult, he requires you to memorize too many facts at once. He requires students to know questions from blackboard videos that are unobtainable. He is very nice but I think he forgets that this is just a GE class. When completing the essay it was as if he went to every length to make it as difficult as humanly possible in terms of formatting and sources. My advice is to take the other teacher who offers this course.

He is an easy professor. You really have to study for all tests, everything on the study guide is on the test. He grades the paper very hard.

If you study for tests, show up to class, do the activities, you will get a very good grade!

While it may be one of the most difficult classes I have ever had, Dr. Leung is actually a pretty nice guy who only wants you to pass. As long as you try your best, watch the lectures, and can manage getting at least a 50% on every test, you should pass the class with a "C". I thought i failed but he gave out enough extra credit to pass thankfully

Personally for me, the maps acted extra credit thus, how i passed with a C in the end. tough grader. grades essay in the end hard. You watch the 1hr lectures online and take notes. You want a very challenging class? take this class. + group project in the end

Not hard! Hybrid class. Pre Recorded lectures one day and in class activities the next! Group project is graded by your peers! Be creative make it fun! Essay was not bad. Just keep a detailed writing log of your research, its a big chunk of the paper. Do not miss the patch up quizes! Break down the study guide questions! He is a great professor!

Do not take this class. He is way to harsh of grader. The tests mean everything for your grade so if you do take this class make sure to study. I did everything I could do to pass, but ultimately didn't. He is not remotely accommodating. He is also hard to talk to and has a strong accent which only makes things more difficult.

You can show up to every lecture, complete every assignment, and you still will possible fail. The tests are so specific there is no way to study for them. When he graded papers and assignments he deducts by .01 and .1, thus he is extremely picky and even says he refrains from handing out good grades. This is an insane amount of work for a GE class

He is the worst professor someone can have for a GE class. Effort needs to be put into the class as it was quite difficult. There is a textbook however it's free, attendance technically isn't mandatory however you'll miss the activity in class and won't be able to make it up unless you have a proper excuse. I don't recommend the class.

Absolutely the worst professor I have had. I took this class years ago for GE credit and failed due to how hard it was, I recently went back to school and decided to retake it but the class did not get any easier. I decided to drop and look for another professor. The online lectures are hard to follow and lack clear notes. He has a heavy accent.

Professor Leung is a kind and helpful individual. He is happy to help and answer any questions you may have and is available even on weekends. His assignments may be a bit lengthy but he makes videos for each one walking you through every single step! He gives feedback and allows you to resubmit assignments for full credit! Give him a chance!

This is by far the worst class I have ever taken. All lectures are online and there's no image of him presented at all. You can't understand anything he says and the audio sounds AI generated. All instructions for homework are unclear and over complicated. If you have other in person classes and/or have a job you wont pass this class.

Very tough grader, expected picture-perfect drawn maps. Lecture was an online video which was very difficult to understand. Tests were extremely difficult and required a lockdown browser. barely managed to pass the class.

He has clear expectations first day, it says in the syllabus that this course will be "tough" and that it needs proper time management. It's easy though. There's video lectures and LOTS of extra credit. There's also a group project where you're doing a mini-lecture, this was fun and I enjoyed it. Overall, class was easy, mainly just coloring maps.

He did the most while grading don't take this class if you don't need to. Save yourself and don't take this class his lectures you can't understand what he is saying. Then also his tests are only in the afternoon and no you cant take the test another time.

His lectures does not correlate with the quizzes at all. For example, lecture 6 is about East Asia and its geographic location, climate, and population only, but on the quiz it ask for the acronym of BRICS and when Christianity was introduce to the region. SMH. JUST USED AI.

It feels like he wants you to fail. The lectures are inadequate, the labs are deeply unhelpful, and his email responses often lead to more questions than answers. It genuinely feels like he does not value student success. At times, it feels like he thinks students are dumb just because his materials are inadequate.

I liked the professor - if you carefully read the grading criteria and follow it, you sure will pass with a good grade. However, some understanding, and being a bit more caring for students would do. But overall, not a bad class, its just not an "easy pass"

This is the worst class I have ever taken, and also the worst professor I have ever had. Do NOT take this class, just take this class with a different professor. Tough grader and doesn't even elaborate. Failed my essay and didn't even specify why or write any notes. He makes it seem like he wants to fail you.

Absolutely one of the worst classes I have taken yet. Consistent straight A student and this is the first class I have ever gotten below a B on. Very detailed grader and absolutely no late work. Lectures are hard to understand and I truly wish I would have never taken this class with this professor, good luck to anyone else that does.

If you want an easy A, don't take this class. He knows his class his hard, so he gives lots of bonus points that gets added to your exam grades and essay. Not an easy grader, but he will help if you ask. You need to try in this class, he wants you to work for your grade. I passed with an A, it's doable.

Absolutely terrible professor (A&B student) Each week we had to either draw out, identify, or write coordinates on different maps if we were not exactly precise with the diagrams he would dock points. The lecture videos sound like he recorded them on a toaster and they are obviously outdated and old. Do not take this class if you do not need to.

His grading system is VERY confusing. I still do not understand it. However, if you do all the work you will get a good grade. Despite the grading system he uses, there is valuable information in the course.
