Grades exams on curve, uses lots of videospictures to help students understand concepts, gives extra credit, majority of material is on powerpoint but to get A you must go to class & note his comments, some things he said in person that weren't on ppt were on exam, 2 exams 1 non-cumulative final, one of the reasons why I changed my major to psych!

We never use the textbook or online text everything is straight from the powerpoint and lectures, so make sure you're taking notes. He's really funny & helpful.

He is funny and shares personal stories to help connect what we are learning to real life. We only have three tests (3rd is the final) and participate in studies, so there isn't much to grade on which makes it difficult, but easy to do well on.

Dr. Leon is a great professor. You can tell her cares about his students and although some lectures are repetitive, he makes them interesting and interactive. There are only 2 exams and a final but class is pretty easy overall.

Prof. Leon is awesome. His whole class consists of 3 easy exams and participation credit worth ten percent. He has a long 600+ slide lecture he reads from and is very good and explaining the material on it. Sometimes, if he likes your class he will add on extra points to exams. I highly recommend him. EASY grade for PSYC 101.

I loved taking Prof Leon! If you are thinking of taking PSYC101 I would definitely recommend taking it with him. The class is made up of 3 exams but as long as you are there for lectures and take notes you should be fine. His lectures are also engaging and I rarely found myself bored in the class. Sometimes he even gives extra points back on tests.

Interesting lectures but taking notes can be difficult at times due to the disorganized nature of the slides. You're only graded on 3 big exams and a few weekly quizzes. The exams make up most of your grade and are difficult with several proctors watching your every move lol. Save yourself and take literally any other psych professor.

He is a great person but not a good prof. All this class is him lecturing the whole time and taking lots of notes. His exams are lowkey hard bc he mentions more things he talked about rather than what is given on the homework or lecture slides. Exams are also so broad so you don't know what to study for. Just save yourself by taking a diff prof.

He is a great professor, and I recommend him! There are readings, and you have homework questions to answer! Just make sure to study for the exams!!!!!! They are mainly about his lectures and a few in-person examples, but as long as you understand the material, you will be okay!!! And make sure you do your Psychology studies beforehand!

Dr. Leon is a caring and easy-to-approach professor who is willing to help outside of class. However, his class is a point system based off of 3 exams and some homework points. Tests are difficult, more than they should be. If you are a Psych major take him. If you won't have to worry about psychology again, don't.

I really enjoyed the lectures, but the exams took a lot of prep to do well on. He uses a ton of class examples, so if you don't remember what he talked about a month ago for 5 minutes, it can bring your grade down a good amount. Super knowledgeable, so if you are a psych major, definitely take, but if not, I'd go for a prof with easier tests.

Professor Leon is very passionate about psychology. However, your grade is only made up of 3 exams, which are all MCQs. He does offer extra credit though, which can help your grade. But if you aren't that great with test-taking, I would suggest another professor, cause the tests are hard. Overall he's very nice and caring.

3 exams make up your entire grade, which can seem daunting, but the exams are easy, and he offers around 15 points of extra credit to help with a low-test grade. The exams are super easy if you have taken AP Psychology or any psych class before, but if you haven't taken psych before, read the textbook he provides for free, and it will be fine.

If you can take him, please do. His lectures are very interesting and he goes at a manageable pace. The only thing I will say is that although attendance isn't mandatory, he uses in-person examples on tests so be aware of that. He's very approachable when it comes to needing help and his study guides before tests are well-organized for studying.

No homework. Attendance isn't graded but it's mandatory if you want to do well on the exams. You have to attend studies for a grade though, so make sure you read the syllabus in the beginning of the semester. Overall, he's a good professor.
