She is not the best but not the worst. Her tests are very similar to Kolniaks. She goes very fast in during her lectures. The class is not that hard if you read the book and go to all of the SI sessions. Her accent is noticeable but completely understandable and she is totally willing to help if you go to her office hours

She is not the best Chem teacher but she does give a lot of extra credit points that can help you bring up your grade. If you do the homework and study Kolniak's old tests, you would be fine.

Organic Chem lab is a new class Dr. Leonik has started teaching. This class is one of the hardest classes, esp. taken with the organic class. She didn't teach much, it's about 95% TA's who are very foreign. Make sure you stay on top of everything with this class. I talked to her a few times and she was helpful, so use her as a resource to help.

Overall I really liked Dr. Leonik. So many people have said she is hard, but honestly if you read the book and do problems from the book you will be fine. Her tests are very similar to Kolniak so doing some of those was really helpful for me. It's like any class you must be willing to put effort into it.

Took Leonik for 1201, gave her a big thumbs down. For 2060, she is probably the best orgo prof. you can get. I know because by the time took her, I had tried orgo twice already with 2 different prof's. Her test are very similar to her practice exams. Her final is mult. choice but NOT a cake walk. HW is the hardest part. Bonus is NOT freebies.

Dr. Leonik is very good, but painful. Be prepare to work hard! Easy B if you do what she says!

accent makes it hard to understand material, I had her T TH @730 so i was pretty unmotivated and bored during lecture. Usually skipped and taught myself and went to tutoring. if you plan skip, make a friend as she gives e.c. quizzes randomly. A lot of hw due inconveniently @8pm. Tests not that hard as are about 25 questions. helpful @ office hrs.

Not the best teacher (prob best chem prof.) but she cares if her students do well and tries to help as much as she can. I skipped mostly & self taught & went to tutoring to do well in this class. If you suck at chemistry or science in general Tyler Dewitt on youtube will be your bestfriend I promise!!! Random extra credit quizzes at end of class.

Dr. Leonik's class isn't very hard. You do need to spend some time for it still. The SI sessions are great if you're struggling at chemistry

Dr. Leonik is a very good teacher, I don't understand where all this fuss is coming from. Will she give a free pass? No. Will she give the material? Yes.

Organic is hard, bottom line. I ended up getting a tutor but should finish with an A. You have to work for it, but with the extra credit an A is achievable. Even for someone like me who failed general chemistry twice.

Dr. Leonik class is hard, but she is available if you need her.

Her class was the first chemistry course I had taken since high school 10 yrs prior. She was fantastic and I developed a love for chemistry when previously I had despised the subject matter. You have to work hard for this course. Her ratings are skewed because she teaches the freshman level courses that give reality checks to students.

Shes not scary yall shes just a loud talker. I think she did everything she could to make organic easier, but its still hard. A lot of bonus, 1 test grade dropped and replaced by final, curves, actually happy to answer questions in class. The end of the class is way harder than the beginning because it goes so fast.

Organic is a hard class and I knew that going in. That said, Dr. Leonik gives you every opportunity to do well in her class. Plenty of bonus, and she provides lots of practice worksheets and even practice tests that will clue you in on what will be on the actual exams. Prepare to study A LOT, but Dr. Leonik is a solid choice if you put the work in!

So although Im getting tutored this class isnt too bad. The only attendance is on days when homeworks are due. Shes super nice, and always willing to help her students. Her practice exams are almost exactly her test. Homeworks are okay some can be tricky but she gives you alittle over a week to complete them and turn them in.

It is a very hard class, but she curves every exam 10-14 points. Do well on the homeworks! They are worth more of your grade than the exams. Also exams are really tough. This is my second time taking this class.

Dr. Leonik is my favorite professor at LSU. She made everything so clear and easy to understand. If you go to office hours she is SO willing to help any student. Show up to class, go to office hours with questions, and you will make a good grade. I was never good at chemistry but I made an A in her class. I would 100% take her again.

I liked how se taught her class, she would explain everything in a clear way. She brought props and figurines to show molecules. The key is to go to her office hours and do a lot of the book's exercises

Honestly not sure why Dr. Leonik's rating is low. The class is difficult, but she knows the subject well and is likeable. Her notes/lectures aren't amazing, so I recommend reading from the textbook to supplement. Reading (or at least skimming) before class so you aren't lost + asking good questions + good memorization skills and you'll be okay.

This class depends on your on your TA. Quizzes were not that bad if you reviewed the material before taking it. Labs were fun. Midterm and final are exactly like the quizzes.

TA heavy class, I had Julie as my TA and she was great!! Once you get the hang of Data Analysis and Data Pages you'll be set in the class. USE THE ONLINE TEXTBOOK, it is almost impossible to fail if you use it, it tells you how to do everything. I had a B- was because I did not study enough for the final/midterm, which are just like the quizzes.

Prof. Leonik is willingly to help any student that consistently comes to class and visiting her offices hours is the best thing you can do for your grade. During offices hours her goal is to make sure you understand before you leave. No question is a stupid question to her. Between her supportive teaching style and office hours you should do well

Ochem isn't an easy course but she explains everything down to the base. she gives out a lot of extra credit and gives out a lot of extra problem practice to do while at home, her practice tests are just like her exam and her exam is all multiple choice with 1 or 2 questions of drawing structures. if you go to class you will pass. 3 exams and final

Chem 2261 is difficult as it is. She gives a ton of bonus/extra credit and curves at least 5 points on each exam. Her exams are clearly similar to the notes and textbook. Her lectures are easy to follow, and she cares about her students. If you make the effort to go to office hours she will help.

It's Ochem so it's not easy, but she gives a lot of E.C. and gives a good grade cushion for tests w/ easy HW and no quizzes. Again though it's Ochem so you're gonna have to work hard regardless.

Honestly I was really nervous for OChem but she made it such a manageable class. Sooooo much extra credit and her exams are very similar to the notes! The lectures were easy to follow and not overwhelming. The content was hard, of course, but overall I would recommend her out of everyone.

most bad reviews are from the lab that is really the TA's fault if taking ochem she isn't bad but the class is hard which is expected

This class is totally TA based. I had no contact with Dr. Leonik whatsoever. My TA, Ryan Morehouse, was absolutely amazing. Chill, easy grader, that really cared for the students. This class isn't bad, the labs are pretty fun, but there is a lot of work outside of class due. Show up to class, do the work, and you'll do well.
