some of his test are hard, but he does offer a help session before tests. he doesn't take attendance, but he is hard to understand!!

He is difficult to understand, but it's not so hard after a while. Other than that he's more of a typical college prof. He's completely unbiased and he knows his stuff. Not the best there is, but definately not the worst.

Dr Lebioda is a little hard to understand but the class is so easy that it doesn't matter. His tests are vey very easy if you somewhat know what you're doing-they're multiple choice. He is willing to answer questions and offers study sessions!

Hard to understand but he's nice and sympathetic. He doesn't take attendance so that helps alot

very easy class if you study before the tests, I only went to about 5 lectures and made an A. Offers help sessions before the exams, and all exams are multiple choice. Nice guy, cough, cough.

Teaches from powerpoint. CAPA is homework, which doesn't do a good job preparing you for the test and he doesn't do a good job preparing you for CAPA. Teach yourself it's a lot easir.

I enjoyed his class. He goes step by step through lectures and practice exams are much like the actual exam. Responds to emais quickly and is a great guy! Accent may make you think twice but it's an easy course and anyone who takes the time and studies will get at least a B.

He is from Poland so it is a little hard to understand what he is saying. However if you can pay attention you will do great. His hardest test is usually the second one but the first and third ones are easy going. He doesn't pull any tricks with the test. Pay attention and you will pass!

The only thing that you need to do for this class is do your CAPA and come to class, do this and the test are easy. The downfall is that he likes to cough...A LOT. we were half way through class and i had counted 200 coughs, and no it's not because he's sick... it's like that the whole semester.

This clas is not that bad. Just do your capa and study for a few hours before the exams and you'll do great. I hardly went to class and when I did I slept and still came out with a B. Take this class.

Tests are really hard even if you study. The man just isn't a good teacher at all. Don't go to his study sessions they don't help, study in a group. cough, cough.

Easy class if you know anything about chemistry, but he is kind of hard to understand. Doesn't take attendance either.

Not a hard class if you remember anything from high school chemistry, hard to understand but offers a help session covering a sample exam.

Extremely boring class; barely anyone goes. I would recommend Freeman first, but if you can't get into his class, Lebioda isn't the worst choice. He has an accent and some kinda weird cough (probably because he's old), but you'll get over that soon enough.

If you took chem in high school and did well, you will do fine in this class even if you don't go to lectures. Lebodia is extremely boring - those that actually go to class, fall asleep. OWL (online program) will teach you everything you need to know. Tests are always 25 multiple choice questions.

this class wasnt that bad. i failed my first test becasue i didn't know what it would be like but still made an A in the class. Dont bother going to the lectures just study directly out of the book and should make at least a B

The cough is annoying and it's very hard to stay awake during the lectures but do the homework and you will do fine in the class.

He is hard to understand but if you do the OWLS and look at the practice tests you will do fine. You will need to put in a little extra effot other than goinig to class. But the tests are really easy.

At first it was hard to understand him, but after the first couple weeks you learn. Attendance isnt required and doesnt really matter if you go or not. OWL is required but it forces you to learn the material. Gives practice tests that are VERY similar to tests. Tests multiple choice. Not the best but it could be worse.

Nice guy tests arent too hard the worst part is OWLS!!! spend 2 hours just for one checkmark or misspell a word n get the whole thing wrong overall, not a bad teacher tho but he does have a strong accent and coughs alot but u dont notice it after a week or 2

I thought Dr. Lebioda was a great instructor. I didn't have any problems understanding him. Attendance isn't mandatory but I went to class and never had to open the text book. He explains everything really well. OWL was the basis for homework and was really time consuming, but it helped me understand the material.

I didn't go to class because he can be very boring. His accent isn't that bad but if you have trouble paying attention and don't have any previous knowledge of Chemistry don't take him. If you can teach yourself you will be fine. Make sure you do the OWLS and go to lab. He has a big curve on the final grade so its not hard to get an A.

He can be hard to understand and is dreadfully boring. He seems like a nice guy though. Go to SI sessions and you should do just fine.

He is a really sweet guy. He has an accent that makes you really have to pay attention but if you do you can understand him. His class isnt mandatory though so i rarely went and when i did i rarely paid attention. Doing the OWLs is how i learned most of the information but i did pretty well on the tests so i guess that was enough.

Really nice, has good intentions but his lectures are killer. Attendance isn't mandatory though. The OWLS will teach you and than just read over the chapters before the test. He lets you keep the tests so for the final just redo the test problems bc they are word for word from there.

i somehow got a B, i knew nothing about Chem coming into the class, he was a decent teacher once you get understand his style.

Understandable if you pay attention. He teaches almost straight from the lecture notebook so he is easy to follow. Attending SI sessions really helps to understand the more complex problems if you don't understand them when he does them. DO THE SAMPLE EXAM. Some questions come from it and others are very similar.

If you have any background knowledge of chemistry, you should be fine. I never opened my book and am expecting a B+ for the class. He is fairly understanding, but you have to go to class for IClicker quizzes.

He is hard to understand in lecture. You will have to do some good studying outside the class to fully understand the material

Very easy if you have a good background. Quick grader. Daily quizzes that are very easy. I highly recommend.

He's a very monotone speaker. Class should be a cakewalk if you did well in high school chem. If you actually do your OWLs, you don't even really need the book or lecture notes since it's all covered in the homework. His exams are generally the same as the practice exams except with different numbers. Take him if it's the only Chem class you need.

Lebioda is a very smart man. However, his lectures can be a bit boring. People complain about his accent/not being able to understand him, but I never had any problems with that. If you put in effort, you should be able to do well. It helps a bit if you have had at least some high school chemistry (not necessarily AP).

Lebioda is a very smart person, but is not very clear spoken so it can be hard to follow the material he presents though the lecture.

Do the OWL to learn the material. Take a laptop to class and do it ahead of where he is in class. He has iClicker quizzes that are a bit ahead, so make sure you understand the topic on OWL first. He puts practice tests online; do those before taking tests. You do have to go to class, but you hardly have to pay attention. Easy if you keep up.

His accent makes him a little hard to understand and although attendance isn't mandatory it is best to go. He gives a lot of iclicker quizzes and to understand the material better you should go to class. Also, do the OWL homework before going to class, it'll help you understand the material.

I wouldn't recommend taking his class. He is very hard to understand and reads directly off the powerpoint. You have to teach yourself everything. I'm an Honors student and barely got an A.

Aside from the boringlong lectures and his accent, after the first couple of weeks you get used to this professor very quickly. As long as you do the OWLS and understand the lab manual notes you'll make an A. He does give quizzes on the iClickers almost every class, but they are easy to do and just boost your grade up. SI really helps.

Lebioda is a nice man, his teaching however is something else. He is very soft spoken and reads straight off the powerpoints. OWLS basically teach you the material. If chemistry is not your strong suit, I suggest taking someone else.

The class is super easy and his tests are exactly like his practice tests.

Very hard to understand at first. The class he teaches usually has 100+ people so interaction with him is low unless you take the initiative.

He can be a little confusing, and his lectures are very dry. It is hard to focus. His tests are challenging but they are all multiple choice. He allows a cheat sheet on the final. Lots of OWL assignments. He is not my first choice chemistry teacher.

Boring professor, easy class. There is a decent amount of homework, but you get unlimited attempts to get it right. I rarely paid attention in class and pulled a B+. Just do the homework, iclickers, and practice tests and you will do fine.

People get intimidated because he has a very heavy accent, but he is very sweet and willing to help out students that ask! As someone that is awful at chemistry, I ended with an A because I took the time to ask.
