I think he is a very good teacher, but can definitely be misunderstood. If you work hard and he sees that, your hard work will not go unnoticed. It's just that sometimes people don't like to work, and they expect A's. I think students really need to cut him some slack.I would recommend this teacher to students who aren't slackers;serious students.

His intent is to teach well. If you're willing to work, you'll get what is deserved. For those unwilling to work, you'll get what you deserve also. Lecture provides as much written material as possible to assist in learning. Lab - not very structured, not as attentive at ensuring students complete activities. Working on becoming a caring ins.

A good instructor who's intentions are help the students succeed. he pops an attitude at students who have all the excuses for not being in class or not doing the assignments.Which is fair for those who are trying. I found him approachable and willing to help me in his own time. Would take another course with him.

He was an ok prfessor. His notes were clear, and had most of the stuff that was going to be on the test.

Boring lectures but easy tests. He reviews and just takes good notes and you should be fine. dont slack!

If you pay attention, very easy class. He is very aggrogant and does not like to be asked questions. When you ask him a question, he will give you a sarcastic answer. However, he explains the material in such easy terms that you shouldn't have to ask any questions.

HE COMES OFF AS A HARDBALL BUT ITS JUST HIS PERSONALITY. HE REALLY EXPLAINS THE MATERIAL WELL AND WANTS YOU TO DO WELL.HIS LECTURES ARE CLEAR AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE WANTS FROM YOU. LABS ARE AT YOUR OWN PACE AND HE WILL ASSIST YOU IF YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO LEARN THE MATERIAL. NOT A BAD GUY, JUST PUT FORTH EFFORT. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM

He explains the material over and over and he reviews you before the quizzes and before tests. What more could you want in a profesor!

Easy class if you do the work! He gives great reviews before tests and also provides you with notes so you don't have to sit there and write down everything he explains. He might not have the best bed side manners but definately a great teacher for someone who doesn't have much A&P background.

Yes he does come off with a cocky attitude, but honestly ya'll, he isn't really like that. He just knows his stuff. If you get to know him, he's actually pretty funny. Yes the class is hard, but it's anatomy! He gives awesome notes and reviews, though, and will give you the essay questions for the test before hand. I recommend taking his course.

Comes across as unapproachable however if he sees that you take the class seriously he's there for you. He's not going to baby you. Highly intelligent professor.

He really does review everything you need to know for the test practically everything on the tests are from his lectures or online notes. 4 exams (multiple choice and 2-3 essays) 3 practicals and 1 research paper (like 4-5 pp) and a final. If take the time to study the notes and show up to class its easy, but if you slack off you'll fall behind.

Class 187 Biol 2401 has been great. I don't know why anyone would say he sucks. He gives reviews for every test, bonus points & even partial credit! He even has pre-typed notes so you don't have to take any in class. What more can you ask for?

class sec 187 ..leal is very knowledgeable in what he teaches. He writes very good notes , goes over all the material over the exams and quizes. His class is a challenge and you shouldnt slack off, but you will learn more than you ever expected. Bad reviews about leal are from people who dropped and are failures in life ;)

Bio 2401-187 Great teacher! (hard subject) this guy gets it done, hes the type that will go over and over the material until its stuck in ur brain. he provides crystal clear notes and reviews very well. he makes human anatomy as easy as it can be. if u cant pass his class then ur just lazy and should just drop out. WISH HE Teached 2402!!

187- Great teacher! very clear on what is needed throughout the course. Give plenty of notes that you can print out. attend class and constantly review notes and you should have no problem.

At first the professor can be a little intimidating but I think it's just a scare tactic to see who has what it takes to stick with the course! If you're not a quitter, do what you're supposed to do and DON'T WHINE!!!, Mr. Leal can be your biggest ally! I recommend him as a professor. You will learn something in his class!!!

I really enjoyed his class. It felt like a real college course. He really made you work for your grade. He gave you all the necessary information you just had to be dedicated to the class and not slack off.

patient and understanding i would take him again and highly refer him to others

Very informative and professional. Would definately select him again if needed.

He is a very good teacher kind of intmidating but over all the class was always good lecture and i learned alot this semester

This guy knows everything and is extremely helpful when it comes to test reviews. Although sometimes he comes off as cold, he really isn't, I don't understand why everyone hates on this guy. I took Mr. Leal for both parts of A&P and did good, he's one of the best teachers I've had so far.

Prof.Leal is highly intelligent and knows everything about Anatomy.He lectures over his material at a steady pace and equips his students with excellent study guides.He is always willing to help out students who take his class seriously.Prof.Leal may seem unapproachable but once you talk to him you'll see hes a nice guy willing to help you succeed

I read these reviews before taking him during the summer and I was worried, but now that I completed it with an A, it's not bad AT ALL. He only lectures on exactly what you need to know and is very thorough. Can seem cold, but I worry more about quality that personality. I learned a great deal. Favorite class so far.

I took Mr Leal for both parts of A&P and although he is a tad bit arrogant, he is very knowlegeable in the subject. He has a Masters degree in Bio and his intelligence shows. Notes for every chapter are on the website, he gives bonus questions, and even takes the time to type exam reviews out for every exam, even final.

He is not that bad of a teacher, goes through the chapters really fast, so take notes when ever he is lecturing. Kind of a goofy guy, shows that he has favoritism in the people that really want to do good in his class. He is really smart and knows what he is talking about. Although he can be quite blunt at times, for the most part he is a cool guy

I took Mr. Leal for both A&P classes. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher to take! Out of all the A&P teachers he is by far the easiest! He gives you access to the reviews for each exam along with the final. He has even gone over questions from the test that way we know exactly what to study. I would take him!

Prof. Leal came across as rude at first but once you got to know him a little better he wasn't a bad teacher, the only thing is that you have to work for your grade. If you take his class seriously, do all the hw, and study you will pass. Truthfully he makes it easy by providing reviews and notes.

Leal is a cool and funny dude. There's really no reason you should fail his A&P course unless you put no effort towards it. He gives excellent exam reviews, he basically tells u all u need to know for his exams, labs are tough. He is the best A&P teacher at PAC. I will definitely take his class for A&P part two. Take him and you won't regret it.

I never felt comfortable going to him for extra help outside of class , but on the plus side,HE GIVES TAKE HOME LECTURE QUIZZES which is a big help. He has very good test reviews and reviews for lecture test in class. He doesn't skip anything or go over anything that wont be on the test. He also tries to review lab material for lab practicals!

Professor Leal is a great teacher. Biology 02 was challenging but professor Leal made it fun and interesting with many examples and his slide show presentation. The practicals were not easy but if you give yourself enough time you can get a decent grade. Do the chapter reviews and study. Overall professor Leal is an awesome teacher.

Amazing lecture notes & power points. He focuses on concepts instead of little details. His reviews before exams are the BEST!!

Took both A&P courses with Mr Leal and now in nursing school for BSN. Seriously, this is an amazing professor & students that want to succeed should take his courses. I am so much more prepared in nursing because I took his classes for my prerequisites. A&P is important for nursing! Mr Leal makes learning challenging but that's what makes it great!

Mr Leal is AMAZING at what he does. Take home quizzes every week, online quizzes every week and also notes. He gives test every other week which all are multiple choice and have an essay. His practicals for lab are the hardest so make studying a MUST. He gives no extra credit. If you miss one class you're done really. All assignments are online.

Professor Leal is an excellent professor, he's very clear on what you have to retain and what you don't. Although he's fast at his lectures, he's very thorough so just record. Yes, he's rude sometimes, but only if he has to repeat himself and if you aren't paying attention to him during lecture and/or lab. Don't take everything so serious guys.

Took A&P 2401 and 2402 with Mr. Leal in the Summer. He is a good teacher and gives good reviews for the exams. do the exam reviews, record him going over it and study the quizzes. It really helps. This class is overall hard but it all matters on how much an effort you put in it. Cant blame the teacher since it's all about studying a lot.

Lectures were great & he does give you reviews for your exams and goes over the review. Definitely need to do A LOT of studying. But of course that's something to be expected. Also, gives extra credit for your Lab exam but that's done in the science lab. Overall great professor and look forward to taking him in A&P 2.

A&P I & II. Best decision ever. It's a ton of work, not difficult though. Mostly definitions and labeling images from the textbook. He follows his syllabus strictly. Don't stress too much about the practicals because the exams are what count the most. Stay on top of your weekly lab folders (it's a ton of work) and online quizzes and you'll be fine!

Show up and turn in work on time and study

Mr. Leal is a very good and very caring all he cares about is you passing the class, his lectures are quite brief and to the point and he' hilarious sometimes. Make sure you "memorize" all lab practicals they are a little challenging but if you fall behind he will help you.

He's a really good Instructor, very hilarious all he cares about is passing his students, Lectures are long but simple, Exams are easy if you study for it, the only difficult thing is the Practicals you have to memorize every worksheet given to you, I really recommend him

Professor Leal is one of the best professors I have ever had. Lectures help if you do go. He gives you EVERYTHING u need to know for his exams & pass the course. If you don't pass, its because you didn't study. He gives you a summary of each chapter online, review online for the exam & also goes over the exam review in class on top of lecturing.

A&P is a lot of information in general, so I think he does well at explaining what is important to study and know. I would encourage attendance Provides lots of ways to study; via book, slideshow, videos and notes. Extra credit is sometimes given. He can be a little sarcastic, but he means well. (Don't be sensitive.)

I thought he was great! The course is a lot of work but it's expected from a science course. He explains things very well so that you can grasp main points and pass exams. However, it is up to you to put in the work if you want the A. Be prepared for his sarcastic sense of humor; it's not meant to offend anyone, it's just how he is but he does care

Took classes in summer. Lectures were almost every day had lecture exams every week on Thursdays. Labs were every Monday. Attendance was mandatory to not miss out on any information needed. He always reviewed Wednesdays with exact things that are on the test for Thursday's. You need to study to pass

I took A&P2 in the summer over 5 weeks. It was A LOT of material, but if you pay attention during lectures and study, you'll be fine. Professor Leal is very good at breaking things down so they're easy to understand. He is HILARIOUS!!! I think some people can't tell he's joking. He's actually very caring, even tho he tries not to seem that way lol

Anatomy class is heavy not matter the proffesor you choose. Mr. Leal was really good with his lecture class and conversation. All of lecture was applied to lab . Make sure you read your book and do your lab hwk. Everything is credit so do not miss anything. If you put the effort you will pass. We have extra credit for every test.
