Dr. Leach is a real gem! He makes lectures extremely easy to understand and he's also really funny. His exams are mostly written with a few MC questions from the book, but they're not hard. Easiest/nicest professor to take for Research Methods! He's also super approachable! I'd really recommend him!
Definitely one of the best professors here at Loyola. The exams are fairly easy as long as you pay attention and read the powerpoints. There are small assignments throughout the semester which ultimately help you put your final paper together. He is hilarious and very helpful. If you go in to his office hours, he'll read your final paper. Take him!
Dr. Leach is a funny professor. He is an easy grader and his tests are easy so long as you pay attention in class and ask question. If you have any questions don't be shy and ask... he will help you understand
Dr. Ryan is a gem. He tries very hard to be funny and keep class entertaining. His exams are fairly easy as long as you pay attention to lectures and review the powerpoints before. You write a "minute paper" after every class so attendance is necessary, but the minute papers are a great grade booster! I would definitely take his class again!
He really cares about his students and makes EVERYTHING so easy to understand. Easy A!
HE IS A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING. I swear if you get him you are super lucky! he's classes are not necessarily easy but he makes them easy so you can pass! he cares so much about their students! he is a little awkward but hilarious! he is honestly so cute! i would take him for every single class if i could. he is the best 100% would recommend!!!!
I LOVE HIM! He is one of the best professors I've ever taken! He's super clear and consistent with the content he teaches, and he's a sweetheart!
Nicest professor to exist. If you're looking for a professor who genuinely cares about his students then Dr. Ryan is your guy. His class fills up really quick so good luck! Overall, incredible professor, super funny, engaging and helpful. 100% recommend.
He's the best! Super young which makes him relatable and SO funny (not in the annoying corny way). The exam material is straight from his slides, and most exam questions come from the examples in his slides. He takes "attendance" with one sentence reflections, but I missed 10 classes and got 68/70 for attendance. SO easy
One of my favorite professors ever! He is so funny in class and decomposed material into very simple terms in order to help make the information stick. Extremely caring and genuine! The semester got progressively more challenging, although VERY doable! He's fair with grading and always gives points back where they're deserved. Just come to class!
Honestly, Loyola needs more professors like Dr. L. Had him for both PSYC 304 & 306 and his lectures are super clear for both. His exams are straightforward and sometimes he makes them a little funny:) Super sweet and chill professor. You have to go to class, but its worth it because easy points and he's super helpful. I wish he taught more classes
Professor Leach deserves this 5! He is fantastic and really cares that you actually know how to do a research paper in APA format. You have all semester to do your research paper and doing it in pieces really takes away the stress! He is always available to help! For a writing intensive course, there is lots of writing, but he helps!
Wonderful professor. His lectures, exam, and homework assignments are straightforward and very manageable. He provided great feedback on APA papers and helps you if you have questions. I took him for PSYC 304 as well, equally as awesome in that course. Attendance is mandatory, points are given for daily minute papers. Take him!
Not only are his lectures as entertaining as he can possibly make them, but they're so informative and straight to the point! He puts things in a way students can get behind, and is super helpful. Don't miss the opportunity of having him as a prof if you get the chance! You still have to work for the A but it's worth it
Excellent at explaining every concept, makes class entertaining, and is super kind!! Easy A!
He makes psyc stats easy to learn! Explains concepts really well and lets us do practice problems in class to make sure we understand/know how to do them on exams. Exams are very similar to what we practice in class. Super funny and kind! Just make sure to show up, because you don't want to miss his dad jokes.
He makes a dull research methods class more than bearable. Definitely take him if you need the class. Hes a cool guy and will always answer your questions. The class is split into four small exams, a research paper done with a partner, and some small assignments. Also an easy writing intensive course.
Leach is a gem of a professor. If you get the chance to take him, do it! He is really funny, caring, and kind. He tries to make the class as accessible as possible for everyone. Super lenient in his grading, but still puts care into it. Lectures are super informative. Definitely one of the best professors I've had.
1 research paper based on group experiment of your choice, turned in slowly throughout the semester, four easy exams, powerpoints (w quality memes) on sakai, lenient but fair grading on writing, "minute papers" at the end of some classes, easy A, Leach is hilarious, kind, hella relatable, impossible to hate, and owns way too many printers
This professor is a diamond. If you are able to take a course with him then consider yourself blessed. One of the greatest and most sincere professors of all time.
Dr. Leach was one of the best professors I had at Loyola. Hilarious. Very relaxed for a writing intensive!! One paper written throughout the entire semester and it's written in parts so it's really quick and easy, and the exams were easy!
If every class at Loyola was taught by Dr. Leach, life would be amazing. His tests are straightforward and he is really funny. I forgot this was a writing-intensive class with how chill he makes our paper. Would take any class taught by him.
Best teacher I have ever had. Really wants his students to succeed, treats everyone kindly, cracks jokes, just seriously the best overall
Prof. Leach is the best professor I ever had! His class his structured very well. You definitely DO NOT need the book, so don't waste money. Just go over his power points and you should get 100% on his exams. Makes a math class fun and enjoyable. You are lucky if you get into his class!
Dr. Leach is more of your friend than a professor. He knows his stuff and communicates concepts well and is really low-key about everything and keeps his class low-stress. Stats and research methods with him are a piece of cake. He's great to talk to and always cracking jokes in class.
Professor Leach is probably one of the best professors I've had at Loyola. He breaks down the material to a point where its nearly impossible to not understand. He's funny, sincere, and really wants you to succeed. All the points I've gotten taken off on my exams are for silly mistakes because he makes sure you know the material HIGH recommendation
This man is such a good professor and he really cares about his students. His powerpoints are crystal clear and he puts them all online after class. Does practice problems and worksheets in class and homework is super easy. please take him hes so nice and he made his class really fun
Dr. Leach is so smart, nice, and funny. He tells bad jokes but they are actually pretty funny. He is a super chill professor and actually wants his students to succeed. He is very good at answering questions and helping out. The exams never have anything unexpected on them. The class is just graded on 4 exams, 10 easy assignments, and participation
Leach is by far the best professor I have ever had at Loyola. He is hilarious and makes the class as easy it can be. If you have any stats background, you barely even need to show up. Take him if you can!!
just take himmm
Super nice and really chill. Tries so hard to be funny. There homework pretty much weekly, but it's never too difficult, and his grading is very straightforward
I always looked forward to going to his class. He is incredibly easy going, funny, but he knows what he's doing. He is very understanding about students and is SUPER straightforward about everything.
He's so funny and so helpful, genuinely wants you to succeed. The class isn't hard if you go to class and do the homework. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to take Stats, he makes the math less boring and easy to understand. Also he wears bowties and they're so cute!!!
He makes the material seem so interesting, and time always flew by in his class! There are 6 assignments and one long paper due at the end, but the different sections of the paper are actually incorporated in his assignments so you're already 50-60% done with it just by doing the assignments! Amazing prof, I had him for PSYC 304 as well, take him!!
Dr. Leach is spectacular. He's hilarious and finds creative ways to keep students entertained during class. His stats class is great for all levels of math knowledge - he goes relatively slowly during lecture, provides a lot of practice problems, and is very helpful. I made a mistake with an assignment and the dude was super cool about it. 10/10
As always, an amazing professor and person. Cares for his students and tries his best to make the class easy and interesting. My advice: take him for any class any time he is available.
Dr. Leach is always a great choice. He breaks the class paper up into a semester-long project, and there are some small assignments. The exams are easy if you go to the class sessions and do all the assignments. He has some improving to do in online teaching- but takes feedback from students and has adapted well.
He is a really nice guy but his lectures are confusing and hard to follow. If you are bad at math like me, you will struggle so take a different professor!
Weekly HWs which are easy to do if you watch the 1-hr video lecture. He is very reachable through email. Lectures are easy to understand, and wants to see you succeed. Has a good sense of humor. Tests are a bit more challenging than the HW, but are straight forward. Overall a great class to take for statistics. Definitely would take him again!
A great, easy professor for statistics. His lectures are about an hour long each week and are full of jokes and examples. He struggled to explain some things because we were online so I think his class in person would be slightly better (online was still great). Super accessible outside of class and I never felt like I was bothering him.
Super nice guy, easy A. Show up, turn in quizzes, you'll succeed
He's very kind and accessible outside of class. He sets clear expectations but sometimes his grading turnaround is really slow and gives me anxiety about what my current standing in the class is. But as far as writing classes go, he makes it pretty manageable where your working on your final project the majority of the semester!
Literally the best professor I've had yet. He is so funny and easygoing. Homework about once a week which is super easy to do, and the tests are very short and easy as long as you pay attention and do the practice problems during class. Can't recommend enough!
TAKE HIM!! Best professor I've had. Hilarious in a dad kind of way. Put a youtube link to the Gangnam Style music video as an answer option for a test. Lectures are super straightforward and easy to follow. I loved his class.
Amazing professor! Everything is super clear and easy to follow. Really easy A just show up and do the practice problems. You don't need to be a math wiz to figure it out. Highly Recommend!
One of the most caring instructors I've ever had. Dr. Leach is always so positive and tells a lot of jokes in class. The class consists of 4 exams, 10 assignments, some in-class work, and participation (allows you to skip a few classes without penalty). The material is very straightforward, especially if you do the in-class work. Take him!
Super nice professor, you can tell that he genuinely cares about his students! He makes the research paper extremely doable by breaking it up into smaller draft assignments and he gives feedback on them which is super helpful. Highly recommend!
He is amazing!!! So kind. Helped me so much outside of class. Great for someone like me who does not do great in mathematics.
Dr. Leach is an amazing professor and tries to make us laugh during the lecture. Honestly, this class was very easy and I didn't stress about it that much. All the exams were online and open note, also posted video lectures if you didn't want to come to class. The research credits were very easy to do, could count as extra credit if you needed it.
Professor Leach’s class is great. I am not good at math, let alone statistics, and his lectures are very straight forward and makes the class a lot easier. I really really recommend his class to people who struggle with statistics! This is the professor for you. Not heavy on homework or exams either. 10 assignments and 4 exams! He is SO NICE too
Professor Leach is an amazing teacher. He has a very simple teaching method and an easy class. Everything is open-note and easy. His lectures are easy going and he goes at a good pace to keep up. Sometimes he even just ends class a few minutes early to make sure everyone isn't overwhelmed and so that nobody gets bored.
It may be suspicious for a teacher to get only 5's on rate my professor. But this class? Dr. Leach is your man! Assignments once a week to get a grasp, no outside work or notes. And exams? Open all day, online, open note, and VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD! Not like any other stats class. Just be ready for doggy pictures on your slides :D
Absolutely love Dr. Leach! He's so caring and makes statistics fun. I 100% recommend taking Dr. Leach, makes the class easy for non-math savvy people!
Professor Leach made showing up to class worth it even on off days just because I could look to him to always be positive and uplifting with his lectures. His presentations are clear and concise and are very compatible with his assignments are quizzes. He is also very kind and understanding.
Never showed up to class after the first day because all lectures were posted online. Just follow the due dates on the syllabus, and its an easy A!
There's a reason he has a 5, he is absolutely amazing! He is super engaging and his lectures are very funny in a dad kind of way. Lots of practice problems in class where he is very eager to help. Homework and tests are both online and are super easy as well. Absolutely take him if you can, one of the best professors at Loyola!
Dr. Leach is the best professor I've had.I never thought my favorite professor would be a math professor but here we are. He explains everything super clearly, is hilarious, and will help you if you reach out to him.The grade is based on 10 assignments, 4 online exams,and participation.He made stats really enjoyable.Definitely take him if you can!
I love prof Leach. This man cares about his students learning and he's genuinely an amazingly nice person whos very funny and caring. He is super understanding about literally everything, TAKE THIS MANS CLASS. His slide shows' are colorful and have cute pictures of dogs and cats. I love you Ryan Leach keep being you. Loyola give this man tenor.
He is so easy please take him. My whole second semester I went to 3 lectures in-person and the rest online bc he posts the all video lectures and powerpoint online from covid for those who need to miss class. All his exams and quizzes were online and had a 2-hour limit but made them to be an hour long and they were opened 7am-11pm. take him!!
Ryan is by far my favorite professor I've taken so far. The class itself with him is very easy, but he helps keep statistics simple and efficient as it should be. He's very helpful and open to aiding you in any way you need and class almost always gets let out early. He is also super funny and keeps class lighthearted, making it more fun even so!
Super understanding and kind prof. He clearly wants what's best for his students. I had a very bad technical error that caused a mistake, but he was super understanding about it. Def recommend him if you need to complete a core.
Dr. Leach is a gem. He gives you the option to do class in person or asynchronously. All tests and homework are online. He explains things in depth, his lectures are hilarious, and you can tell that he truly cares about his students. He is so chill and he makes a could-be difficult class super easy and fun. HIGHLY recommend!
Take his class! Very knowledgable on the topics at hand, funny and energetic, and knows how to accommodate for students needs. He puts all the materials and lecture videos online so that you can complete the course asynchronously if you want/need to. A great gem of a professor in a class that would be rather monotonous and difficult.
His class was so amazing. You learn a lot of interesting stuff and it's not a hard class to pass. attendance is not mandatory at all. all his test and quizzes are take home and his assignments are really easy. easy A
BEST PROFESSOR HANDS DOWN. If you have the chance to take him, take him. He is one of the best psychology professors in the department. Easy A
I literally love this man so much. He is so funny and makes his lectures so much fun to go to. I caught myself laughing out loud numerous times a lecture. I wish it was a smaller class so I could have gotten to know him better. The class itself is interesting and his grading policies are straight forward. Definitely take him if you get the chance!!
Leach is a very easy going laid back and funny professor he makes the class enjoyable and easy to learn.
Ryan Leach is great! I struggle with math but he made it very easy to understand, even difficult concepts. He sometimes gives worksheets that you have to figure out how to solve, but he goes through it towards the end. Most days we just did example worksheets and he's always available to help. Take him is you can! Funny, caring guy!
Absolutely LOVE Dr. Leach. He was the best professor I have ever had. Hes so caring and his class is honestly pretty easy. Hes great at teaching and his grading is really fair. We had online assignments and exams that were open note so that was also great. I would definitely take him again.
Dr. Leach is AMAZING. He really knows how to teach Stats. Exams are online and super simple/similar to the practice in class. He's very laid back and easy-going and really cares about students understanding the material and not being overwhelmed. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
I've had Dr. Leach for a couple classes, and he's a great professor. Even with a class like statistics, he would make jokes and try to make class more enjoyable. He's super nice and understanding. Lectures are easy to understand. We would have a few assignments that were pretty straight forward every other week or so, and tests weren't that hard.
Take Ryan Leach if you have the chance!! such an easy grader and a hilarious and personal guy to take lectures from. He teaches psych 101 very well
Psyc101 with Prof. Leach was one of the best decisions I made this semester. I was enrolled in a 8am section, so I was super happy to learn that attending class in person is optional, and that there are recorded versions of every single lecture online. Super thorough lectures with funny examples, simple, and predictable format! Highly recommend!
Dr. Leach is wonderful! He's hilarious during his lectures, and he has an online version of them that I've watched a few times when I missed class, and he even makes those enjoyable. There are 5 assignments, 6 open note quizzes, 3 exams, and 8 research credits in this class (everything is online). If you can, take him; he's the sweetest!
TAKE HIM. So clear, just a great professor. I learned so much from him. Easy homework and quizzes that actually help you understand
Leach was a good professor! The course was set up nicely in a hybrid style. It was definitley nice having the option of not attending in person if you didn't want to. Classes could be a little boring at times, but this was only an intro class. Sometimes the video recordings (from other semesters) didn't match up well with his in-person content.
Dr. Leach is the goat. Online exams and lectures. Super helpful when you need it, makes his lectures interesting and funny which is what you need in a stats class. overall class was pretty easy. come to class, take good notes, get an A. 100% recommend and would take again. don't take the other teacher your looking at ;)
Extremely caring and punctual professor. Gave option of doing the class online or in-person. Every quiz/test correlated perfectly with the powerpoint given, no surprise questions given. Plenty opportunity of extra credit given. Definitely can get an A in this class if you do all the work assigned.
Nice professor, cares about students. All lectures online. Took for Jterm so lots of info in a short amount of time. 5 (short) assignments had very clear instructions. There were 3 m/c exams, 6 quizzes (10 questions each,) and 13 discussion posts/responses. I tanked on one exam and still got an A in the class. Take detailed notes!
Professor Ryan is amazing. He posts all of his lectures online; quizzes and tests are open note (and can be done anytime throughout the day) and provides engaging and interesting lectures! It is difficult to do bad in this class. Also he is super funny and attendance is not required, you could decide to not show up to class and still get an A!
Leach is amazing! Def recommend! Exams are asynchronous and open-note and you have way more than enough time to complete them (like an hour more). Take the notes so you can (command)+F on the exam! Lectures aren't word heavy and easy to listen to. He's great at explaining things. I was going through it that semester and still got a good grade!
This class is kind of hyrbid so you can go in-person or just watch the lectures online. I watched them online after the first month and got over a 100% in the class. He gives extra credit which can raise your grade past an A like mine. Super nice and funny guy and helpful outside of class as well.
i loved dr. leach. he's just so silly and goofy. tries to make lectures interesting (and generally succeeds). presents info in an understandable way too. just quizzes and exams every week or so, but all are open note.
I really enjoyed this class! Since it was the first time they offered this course in a while, the lectures seemed a little disorganized. However, the class was super fun and easy. There are 3 group projects (presentation and paper each) that are fun and very easy to complete. Just follow the rubrics. Exams and quizzes are open notes!
I loved this course! Since it was the first time, the lectures were somewhat disorganized. The class was fun and easy. Three interesting and simple group projects, which includes presenting and papers, make sure you follow the rubrics. Open-note tests and quizzes!!
I loved Prof. Leach. I thought he was very funny and understanding. He knows that a lot of us are there for a major requirement and is very relaxed. He makes a complex subject easier to understand. I only wish the tests weren't multiple choice so we could get points for showing our work. If you need a stats class, Leach is the way to go!
Please take Professor Leach if you are a psych major! His classes are engaging and entertaining. He eases into the subject without scaring freshman. He responds to emails relatively quickly, and he is understanding when it comes to issues outside of class. Although attendance is not mandatory, it definitely benefitted me to attend them.
Dr. Leach is hands down one of the best teachers I have ever had. The way he grades makes the class so easy. All tests and quizzes are online, and if you participate in extra psych research, you dont even have to take the final!! He is so funny and charismatic and truly cares. He is so amazing. Take him!!
Very easy class, tests and exams all online, attendance not mandatory, some questions are tricky and not too clear but not frequent issue. Very chill and easy credit
Easily the best teacher I have taken at loyola. All his quizzes, tests, and assignments are online and open-note. He always tries to make the lessons fun and engaging, and he is effortlessly hilarious and relatable. I highly recommend taking him, I have nothing negative to say about him. Wonderful teacher and an even better person.
Professor Leach is quite literally my favorite professor I've had so far! He try's his best to engage with students in class (even though it's a big lecture hall). Super easy class too, all exams/quizzes are online and open book. You can really tell how much he cares for his students. TAKE PROF LEACH IF YOU CAN!!
U know that clip in the office when kelly is like "ugh Ryannnn." Thats me. Ryan is saur slay and I would take him again in a heartbeat. Def take him
I loved him! Environmental psych was such an interesting course. All quizzes and exams are online (at home). He offers extra credit. Is very understanding and caring towards all his students. I wish there was more professors like him at Loyola,
take him!! he posts all his lectures on Sakai so you don't have to go to class but lectures are still very entertaining. quizzes and exams are online and open note and homework is simple!
Ryan is probably one of the best professors at Loyola. I would 100% recommend him.
He is great, I highly recommend taking him if you have the chance. All the quizzes and tests are open note and the few projects we have/papers are extremely hard not to get an A on. He if funny and caring and very understanding.
We must protect him at all costs
He is simply just the best and an amazing professor. You will not regret taking his class.
No professor is truly as perfect as Dr. Leach is. His lectures are super funny, helpful and informative. Very laid back. Tests, quizzes and assignments are very straightforward and are taken online on your own leisure. There's genuinely no way you can do bad in this class.
He is the best professor ever! I honestly could not recommend any teacher besides Professor Leach. Not only are his quizzes and exams take home assignments, we get the whole day to complete it within a 2 hour period! All of his lectures are on Sakai, and his classes are NEVER boring! I never had a bad or uninteresting day! Take Leach for Psych!
goat prof. definitely take him for any psych class.
He is sweet and fun. Super easy class and you really just sit there and listen to him talk about the slides. There are occasional quizzes + assignments, with exams at the end of units (all of which are online and done outside of class).
He's a really good professor, I would highly recommend taking this class especially for a prerequisite. The workload is light and assignments are pretty fun. Class isn't mandatory so if you ever skip you'll be perfectly fine. Tests and quizzes are done outside of class and online (no Respondus). Take this class !!!
I literally only showed up for the first month and I passed with a 98%. Assignments/Quizzes/Exams are online, no lockdown browser. I feel bad for not showing up to classes more because his lectures were genuinely helpful and he's a great guy. Definitely take him if you need a psyc 101 course!
Dr. Leach is super funny! I loved his lectures and they were really easy to understand. He gives out very little work to do outside of class and his assignments where always easy and sometimes fun to do. Textbooks are not needed and all the exam materials are from the slides, also quizzes and exams are open note. Defiantly recommend him for PSYC.
Absolutely loved his class, he makes stats so accessible and easy to understand/succeed. He breaks down every unit and concept into steps that you can easily follow. Exams are online, open note, and multiple choice. Would recommend!
Leach is so caring, engaging, and hilarious. I suck at math and hate the subject - he did a great job of making everything simple and easy to understand. The 10 assignments and 4 exams are all online and easy peasy to complete. I barely went to class in the last two months of the semester and am happy with my A-
He is the chillest dude ever. I came into this class with an environmental background and I definitely knew more than him. This class is so easy it is almost a waste of time.
Leach is a great guy and his lectures are genuinely enjoyable. That being said if you want, you could probably pass this class without going to lectures, he posts all the material online. Exams are open-note, open-resource, and you get two hours to do them. I like stats and I liked this class!
He is just my favorite professor at Loyola. Ryan is so caring and easygoing. He sets very clear, realistic expectations for students. He is great at answering questions so you're never left in the dark. The class was super interesting: we conducted 3 research projects of our choice. Easy A but also super enjoyable!
Professor Leach is simply the best! With online quizzes, exams, and no mandatory textbook, his class is a breeze. Plus, his lectures are super engaging. Definitely take him if you can - he's a gem! Unstuckstudy was a great study aid too.
I HIGHLYYYY recommend taking him!! He is such a caring prof and actually wants you to do good. + tests were all online and super easy, and homework graded very easy. A lot of people dont go to his lectures because attendance is not mandatory!!!! he has this way of explaning things that really make sense + hes hilarious!!!
few quizzes and homework assignments that are all online. he posts things online too so you rly don't have to go to class. he is so caring and does care about the subject. he knows his stuff so rly listen and care about the topic just as much as Dr. leach does. tests are all online and multiple choice too
Honestly my fav psych prof so far, he is so funny and laid back. I usually hate presentations but loved doing all of them tbh. For presentations he tells u to make them short, and for papers its 1-2 pg talking about the presentation ur group did. Also have a few take home quizzes that are all open note. Would highly recommend
Dr. Leach is very kind. His class is very lax as well, but you still learn good content if you pay attention. Some of the assignments are a little loose in terms of expectations, which can be a little confusing, but he is always willing to clarify for you! Overall, very low-stakes class that has a lot of good information.
Dr. Leach is such a fun professor. He is a funny guy and genuinely a nice person. No textbook required. Your grade comes from 5 short quizzes and 4 big projects. DO NOT ask for partial credit on a quiz question, even if you explain yourself; he literally won't give it. That's my only issue with him.
dr. leach hosts super interesting lectures and he's really funny !! def take him if you can . :0
Professor Leach is pretty laid back, attendance isn't mandatory as he just discusses the slides. All tests, quizzes, and homework are online and submitted in sakai, and test days there is no class. I would totally take him again if the opportunity comes my way.
amazing. took this as a gpa booster. never went to class and barely did any work for it. So easy. hardest part was getting the research credits but even that was light work. You'd have to try to do bad in this class.
Easiest class you will ever take- almost to a fault. Makes me question why I'm paying so much for a class I don't even have to attend and get over 100%. Lectures were pointless, I stopped going and did the lectures on my own. Dr. Leach is nice, but most classes felt like him pointlessly trying to relate to our generation through weird analogies.
No attendance policies. All course material is on Sakai. Quizzes, exams, and homework is all on Sakai. Really easy professor! His lectures were just discussing the slides. He is pretty awkward and tried to relate to younger generations in weird analogies and pop culture things, but it was nice for the lecture. Easy GPA booster. Take if you can!
This class was fun and low-stress, even with lots of content! All exams and quizzes are take-home, plus 5 written assignments. Ryan is hilarious and made class genuinely enjoyable. If you're taking Psych 101, this is the only option worth considering!
One of my favorite teachers this semester! Super engaging lectures and super fun class
Love his class. He's funny (even if he thinks we don't get his millennial humor) and genuinely kind. Tests are easy with a allowed cheatsheet. Quizzes are simple and the homework is too. Easiest class I've taken. Participation doesn't really matter, but you should still show up. He has presentations every class that he uploads online.
Ryan is great! His lectures are intriguing and are straight to the point. I would totally take him again.
Ryan is the chillest guy ever. Allows cheat sheets for tests attendance isn't mandatory. He reads off of presentation slides but is still very engaging. He makes millennial jokes but personally I love it. His class is super easy and it would take a lot to fail tbh. Please take him!
easist class ever. i barely went and you can cheat on all the tests. quizzes once in a while and hw once in a while. he is super nice and funny
Honestly you can pass the class without being there. His voice is annoying and I wouldn't take him for a 200 level and above but easy class in 100. All his materials are online and on quizlet.
LOVE HIM. He is very funny and he very easy on you with assignments and quizzes. You get cheat sheet on each exam and whoever said he was annoying YOU'RE ANNOYING cause he is the goat.
this man is so funny, genuinely only showed up to hear his bazar commentary, but if you miss literally no one cares and nothing happens. tests typically have a cheat sheet and there are 3 tests and the third test is your final. easiest A there is and a good teacher
Took him for PSYC 321 Lab in Social Psychology. He is super funny and very passionate about helping students. He is very approachable and makes his office hours very accessible to his students. Overall I would highly recommend
Incredible professor for a beginning class- really cares for students and wants them to succeed. Easy quizzes/assignments, all needed content was provided in the lectures, note sheet allowed for exams, syllabus was clear. Had to leave class two weeks before the semester ended for his newborn baby, and I was honestly sad to not see him after break.
Take him!!
Took Dr. Leach for 321, not 315. Second class with him, he's a very easy professor. Three projects on which you'll work with the same partner for the whole semester, so choose wisely! Didn't learn a lot of new material but that's to be expected in a lab, gained valuable experience performing data analysis. He's super understanding and very kind.
Easiest class you'll take! honestly you don't have to go to class to get an A+ the class consists of 3 exams, 6 quizzes(take home), 5 "HW" and some research credits which felt like a waste of time but were easy.
Take him! Super chill and funny
