Great teacher, but it may have been that I loved the content.

Not as easy as everyone says, but relatively easy compared to all the other really hard psych teachers. Anyways, she knows what she's talking about and if you study you can do well on the tests. You just have to make sure to pay attention to detail. Anyways, she's a nice lady and has a cool accent.

She's a really good teacher. She also gives a lot of examples to further clarify what she's explaining. Sometimes it can get a little boring but overall it's a good class.

Nice lady... As long as you study her notes from class you'll be fine on the tests.

Nice lady, good teacher, cool accent. Study the notes she gives you online and you'll be fine.

She was an interesting lecturer and made class interesting when I decided to go. Her tests are fairly easy if you read the material. Her accent is hot too.

I found the lectures enjoyable and yeah an easy A to be sure as long as you pay attention in class and go over notes before the test. text book completely unnecessary

This class is an easy A. Either go to class and study your notes or skip it and read the textbook before the test. Either way, you ought to do fine on the tests.

Good Teaching. Test were somewhat difficult. Go to class and you will be fine.

She takes attendance and it's part of your grade. The tests are kind of specific, but as long as some studying is done it isn't bad. She has an interesting accent and lecture is the most important part of the class. She offers 4% extra credit to add to final grade.

Must read the chapter summaries at the end of each chapter! I skimmed through the text and read the summaries over and over. She takes attendance. Drops lowest test or replaces lowest with final. Do the extra credit experimentrix offered. 1 hour = 1% on OVERALL AVG! up to +4%. I did all 4% and it got me an A in the class. Tests are MC but tricky

Teaches well, but not always what is on the test. The book is really good and explains well. Use that as he basis to study. The tests are hard, but she does lots of extra credit, and makes it definitely doable to get an A if you put in the work.

Go to class, do the work, read the book, and a good grade is easily yours. Likes to test on material from BOTH readings & lectures, so cover all the bases. Not bad lectures and likes to use examples to make it more interesting and relevant.

She's a rather interesting teacher and her accent makes for interesting lectures. Make sure to take notes and READ THE BOOK. Reading the book helps a lot although it's not necessary to make the grade. She gives 4% extra credit just for doing assignments. Pay attention, do the extra credit and study and you'll be fine.

Class is more difficult than I thought, but I still got a B without putting much effort into the class. She has grad students teach a couple of the lectures. She is fair and approachable. She has an online chat the night before the test to answer questions.

Dr. Leader's intro psych class is interesting and made me appreciate the field a little more. She gives great examples of the concepts so they are easier to understand. She has an interesting South African accent that's fun to listen to as well. Test questions can be tricky but if you study you'll be fine! Take her class! :)

She is a very nice instructor, and has many extra credit opportunities- up to 4 points on your final grade. If you study and attend class, you should be fine. I made an A.

She's a great lecturer, but apparently has the hardest PSYC 1101 class.

Very good lecturer, stimulated my interest in the subject. Class is easy if you show up and pay attention.

Leader is a fantastic professor, hands-down. Sure, the homework may be a bit tedious, but she has piqued my interest in both courses I've taken with her. I hope I'm able to take another one of her classes.

She was kind lady. To succeed you should read the chapters and then do the homework. This will improve your recall better, so that you can succeed in the class. Tests were not too bad; some tricky questions, made B on most of them. She gave 3 extra credit points for research experiments.

Thick accent, but still understandable. Lectures are useless if you want to do well on tests, just study from the book. She does not give papers, long HW's, or quizzes like other professors do, so if you don't want to have to work a lot outside of class, take her. 90% of the grade is exams though, so making an A is hard with her, so be careful.

Dr. Leader was great. Her class wasn't a huge work load. It was a great break from tougher STEM classes and an easy A honestly. If you go to lectures and use LaunchPad before tests you'll be fine. There is also extra credit opportunities that are easy.

Lectures don't include all testing materials, so make sure you at least skim the chapters in the book and do the optional activities (they're helpful and a good review for tests). Very nice and reasonable.

I took Dr. Leader for psyc 1101. Because the class was so large, I only talked to her once or twice. Easy to just read the book and get an A / high B on tests. Lectures are good for reiterating this info. Also good to know what'll be on the tests - she didn't follow the syllabus completely. Definitely a great professor!

Loved Dr. Leader. Her South African accent makes it interesting to listen during lecture, and she wants you to do well ( but said 'she won't work harder for your grade than you'). Makes the subject interesting, and so it makes it easy to pay attention and do well. Reading helps , but I didn't find the workload to be really difficult.

Dr. Leader is a good choice for PSYC 1101. Her lectures are often interesting because she often uses videos and activities, but expect a lot of PowerPoint lecturing. Tests were multiple-choice, and homework was through an online system called InQuizitive; you can always get 100% by doing enough questions (at least, when I took the class).

Good teacher who has relatively engaging lectures. A slight bit harder than the other PSYC 1101 teachers, but she makes sure you actually UNDERSTAND the material, and don't just have it memorized. As such, the tests check for comprehension, not just memorization. Also has 3% extra credit.

I found the course quite easy. If you are someone who can easily retain material by reading a textbook and doing homework, take this course. Attendance is checked for end of year bumps but not graded. Extra credit opportunities abound. Tests are fair, and easy if you give any effort towards studying. Highly recommend doing the Inquizitive to study.

Dr. Leader is amazing! She sparked my major interest in psychology. She roasts sometimes but only when people are asking for it. Very polite and tests are reasonable with a minimal amount of studying. As long as you read and show up to lecture, you'll be fine.

Very clear lectures. Lectures and attendance are not necessary, but don't skip if you want participation points. Very nice professor. Lots of extra-credit opportunities. Barely any homework (around one case study per week). Easy A if you just read the text and go over outlines before exams.

Dr. Leader was a good professor who had very clear lectures and specific grading criteria for the course. If you went to lectures, she basically went over the concepts that we needed to know for the tests. However, my main gripe was that lectures were often very boring and dry which makes me not want to take another psychology course here.

Ms. Leader is one of the nicest professors I've ever had, and she is also happy to help outside of class if you have any questions. However, I am not very good at memorizing and found her exams to be EXTREMELY difficult. Her exams are a mix of textbook material and lecture material, and so get ready to read lots of pages in the textbook!

Her class was an easy A and quite interesting. Tests were quite easy, a lot of the questions would be easy to answer with a minimal understanding. Lecture isn't mandatory but is probably necessary if you want to guarantee an A. Homework isn't overwhelming and actually helps with understanding the material.

Genuinely passionate. Tries to make her lectures as interactive/not boring as possible. A very fair grader, and gives lots of opportunities to help your grade, so one failed test won't doom your grade. She also is very open to student feedback. If you put in the effort, you will get an A. Personally, I loved her as a prof and a person.

She was such a caring, kind person, who is willing to make things fair for students. She even answered questions during the test when I was completely lost. She listens to our feedbacks. This class is definitely textbook heavy, so if you read the textbook and pay attention during lectures, getting an A is not a problem.

She's sweet. Her accent is a little difficult to understand but she really cares, and her lectures are interesting.

Class is not hard if you aren't afraid to memorize a few terms the night before a test. I read the textbook and took notes, and I got A's on the tests, but the terms can be confusing, so studying is necessary. She offers 2% extra credit. SONA experiements required. In class, she was good at explaining things, but take notes if you want an A!

Dr. Leader is so nice and obviously cares about her subject. She gives plenty of extra credit chances, also her test questions are straight from the book.

Leader is a great teacher, especially for PSYC 1101. The class revolves around 4 tests (including the final), and one of them can be dropped (all multiple choice). There is tons of extra credit; if you do the homework, come to class, and review before the tests, you will get an A for the little effort you put into the class.

Dr. Leader is great, especially if you're pretty good at remembering what you've read. Her lectures are usually boring and kind of unnecessary, but there's a participation grade. Tip: read the chapters covered before the test, skim the notes. I got an A with that strategy and didn't struggle at all. Learned more than I expected. Great, easy class.

Dr. Leader is one of the best professors I've had at Georgia Tech. She is so caring, her lectures are very interesting, and it's the perfect work load. She is super accessible and is literally one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She really cares for her students. Attendance is mandatory but going to class is always worth it!

I feel like Dr. Leader gets a lot of unnecessary hate, but I found her to be one of the best lecturers in all of my classes. Her lectures are interesting and engaging, and if you attend all classes and pay attention, there's no need to freak out about her tests. She also gives lots of extra credit opportunities!

I loved Abnormal Psych with Dr. Leader. She is very thorough and gave good insight into the disorders' cause and treatment. Her class is lecture and test heavy. Although she takes attendance every day, it was 1% of the grade. I'm a Psych major, so I really enjoyed it, but I can attest that most people that showed up were watching netflix...

I really enjoyed her lectures. She is fun to listen to (I love her accent) and she also has great guest speakers. I learned a lot in her class. I would definitely take her again.

Professor Leader is a really incredible professor. She is extremely caring about her students and understanding when it comes to assignments. COVID posed a lot of challenges this semester, but she made sure that this class was not a burden and made it possible for us to succeed. Highly recommend taking her for any psych class!

I enjoyed Dr. Leader's Abnormal Psych class, although technology posed a challenge for her during COVID. We often spent the first 20 minutes of class troubleshooting problems, and were very behind for most of the semester and had to cut out chapters of content, which I was looking forward to learning :(. She is very caring, knowledgeable, & kind!

She's a very sweet and caring professor who tries her best to make her lectures interesting. That said, they can be boring, but the content itself wasn't too hard. Most of the grade comes from tests, but she allowed a 1 side crib sheet. On top of that, there were many extra credit options. Overall, she's a pretty solid choice for Psyc 1101.

Prof Leader is such a good professor. During the pandemic, she taught me how to use Quizlet! I learned so much Quizlet from her!

Prof Leader was a pleasure to be taught by. Her class was an easy A in my eyes and I liked learning more about psych. It is possible to get a good grade without attending lecture, but she is a really intelligent lecturer and I would recommend listening! I would definitely recommend her class - you learn a lot and can do well with low/medium effort!

Very kind and engaging

She spoke kind of slowly, but that isn't even that much of a complaint. She was clearly interested and engaged in the material that she was covering. She was also quite understanding with technical issues and student stress, offering the occasional deadline change, etc. Overall a pleasant experience for an out-of-major intro class.

Dr. Leader was a very sweet and caring professor. Her lectures were more traditional, with her explaining the content on the slides to the class. Homework is done through macmillan learning which was a $100 online textbook.

Very easy class (abnormal psychology). take notes from the textbook and study those and the lecture slides before the exam. Also, study the homework before the exam. Her exams have stuff that was not talked about in class but is in the textbook so actually READ TEXTBOOK or use chat to take notes from it.

Super sweet and content was extremely interesting. Slides are self-explanatory too. Tests felt more difficult than what we covered in class, though.
