Great teacher! He does not stick to the book in discussions because he pushes students to look and apply the readings to real situations. He is VERY positive and active in his teaching and actually takes time to get get to know you (even in a class of 50 or 150). He reviews very well for tests and if you study, the test are stress-free.

Very easy for a upper level course. A few discussion posts and a couple exams, which were easy. Take him for an easy A. Doesn't really answer emails though.

This professor was great! Really easy class for an upper-level class. A couple of discussion posts and tests but they were all very easy to study for. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this professor and class. Take this class and prof!

This was by far the best class I have taken at FGCU. If you do all 9 of the assignments this class is a very easy A. (i counted, he's only given 9 assignments this whole semester! All super easy btw) I would definitely recommend this as a summer class.

I took him just to get Summer credits and his class was very simple and easy to follow. Only a few assignments for the month, none of which are difficult, and he's an easy grader too. All of his test you can find on Quizlet, making everything even more easy. Highly recommend if you need a quick elective to pick up.

Fantastic online class with minimal work - a few discussion posts and exams. Use Quizlet, ChatGPT, and UnstuckStudyAI to ace it! Super easy A, highly recommend.

Short summer class that consisted of 2 discussion posts w/ responses + 2 online exams w/o lockdown. Exams are based on the textbook, but he does give out study guides for each chapter. The professor responds quickly to emails and provides good feedback. Overall, great class. Very informative.

Dr. Leary was amazing! He was kind, caring, and genuinely enjoyed his students. The material was fascinating, and his enthusiasm for it was contagious. I am heartbroken by his passing, as he truly was a gem of a professor. Like one in a billion good. He will be deeply missed.
