Dr. Lea is hands down the best professor I have ever had. He really wants his students to succeed. He never tries to make you feel stupid or embarrass you for asking questions or not knowing an answer. I have learned and remembered material from his classes more than any classes I have taken. If you want to actually enjoy learning, take his class!

I learned so much in his class! I didnt even study that often but the way he teaches is just so amazing It makes you comprehend the topics! I wish he could teach every single one of my classes I have to take. The most genuine, kind and dedicated professor I have ever taken. You dont have to be a bio major to do well in his class! I love him so much

Dr Lea was the best professor I have ever taken in the field of science. He really wants you to pass and gives study guides just like the exams. There are lab hw but each takes 5min.

Don't get me wrong this class is ALOT of WORK and it will eat up your time and consume your life and I'm sorry for that. but the material is fairly easy and concepts feasible it's just a matter of practice and retention. He is ON YOUR SIDE as far as your grade which is what we're all here for. he's disorganized & doesn't answer but eh - he's gr8.

TAKE HIM!! he is a really great professor! I promise you it will look like its a lot but he makes things so easy and understandable. I took it on a 6-week course... so imagine... yeah... but it was easy even though we had more stuff to do in a shorter time. EASY TAKE HIM. If you need help understanding, he will be glad to help :)

Dr. Lea was an amazing professor. You could tell he really cared that you learned. He isn't interested in playing games with students, he is very straightforward and transparent about expectations. Given this, do not expect to pass this class without doing anything. It is a lot of work, but if you put in the effort you will do well.

Dr. Lea changed my entire attitude on 161 and 162. His teaching style is great and he wants his students to succeed. I took 161 previously with another professor and almost stopped my pursuit for dental hygiene, until I found Dr. Lea. I still remember the material we learned in his class, currently in dental hygiene school the info is so helpful.

Anatomy and Physiology is no joke but Dr. Lea makes the lecture easier. He's the best professor I ever had in NOVA. The lecture is straightforward, and as long as you do what you need to do, you'll get the grade you deserve and he will surely help you.
