I took his 8am class, so everyone there was pretty much dead. Prof. Leach had great energy though, and he even had a sense of humor. I suspect he does stand-up from time to time. He was inconsistent with his quizzes, but he prepares you well for the tests, and he is fair. He says homework is due a week after it is assigned, but he is lenient.

When we received our grading sheet a hand full of students received 0's for their homework that he misplaced. There were students that copied from others in exams and he didn't do anything about it, when students spoke to him about it. His lectures aren't boring but he will stray away from topic and made jokes about those who leave early. During exams if you ask for help his automatic answer is yes if he thinks you only want the answer. During office hours he doesn't have a lot of time but he does try to help you.

I am so bad at math, never have gotten an A in the subject before. Leach completely changed that for me, took him for 110 and 120 and would have continued if he taught more of what I had to take. I got an A in both classes. I recommend him if you are bad at math because he is easy to understand and so nice. One of my favorite teachers of all time.

During his lecture he talked a lot. So learning calculus is on our own but his grading system is excellent. he give you test which is hard but his grading system will help to pass or get A easily. But I won't take again because his test is so hard and learn a little during lecuture.

He is a great Professor for calculus at Skyline. You need to show up to classes, understand the material and be prepared for his tests which are hard but not tricky. He would be clear on what he expects from you for tests. He has a great sense of humor that helps you keep going through the class. He is very caring and understanding if you work hard

I have always failed a math class until I had this teacher. He is fair and gave maybe 8 homework assignments all semester. If you skip class he doesnt care but it will hurt you because he teaches something new each class. He goes over final material two weeks before so you get enough practice and questions in. Final was really easy to pass.

Heard a lot about Leach from my friend who took him years before, and hes pretty chill. Like other reviews, he does go off topic sometimes but believe it or not he educates us as well on those off-topic rants and always finds himself back on the math lecture. Pretty straightforward guy, he will always help you if you ask, he wants people to ask.

Prof Leach is a combo of: a) funny/serious b) caring/callous c) lenient/rigorous. a) He's serious about math and teaching, yet his lectures are hilarious b) He'll say he doesn't care if you flunk, yet his actions say he wants you to do well c) lots of HW/classwork but it builds you up to tests/final where you'll see the same problems.

A god. Very clear and simple. Made linear algebra seem easier than algebra 1. You literally learn 1 operation and then tell different things from its result. Perfect for a summer class. Do not miss class. Can give up to 2 quizzes/test+quiz during one class. Tests have the same questions as the quizzes. Interesting to listen to,makes class enjoyable

He gave everyone who was enrolled an A, never graded one single thing, and only gave us two tests at the very begining of the semester that were not returned.

Professor Leach is HILARIOUS! Depending on how you like to learn he may or may not be a good teacher for you. Leach pretty much lectures every session but he goes off topic every 10 minutes or so to make a joke or movie reference. I personally loved that because it would give me time to catch up on writing or have a laugh!

I had an autonomous MATH120/MATH820. People that take this class are either starting out with algebra or need help with it. He repeated himself for weeks in the daily lecture, seemingly trying to get students to stop going to the lectures altogether. None of what he covered was the homework we did in Pearson. In short, waste of time and money; boo.
