TAKE TAKE TAKE. GREAT PROFESSOR. Makes class fun and test are easy. You will enjoy him has a professor.
Awesome professor! Makes class fun and curves all tests. More focused on students trying their hardest and learning than doing perfect work. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!
GREAT PROFESSOR. This class was informational, fun and involving. Even if you are not one to raise your hand in class and speak in front of people, you will soon want to get involved. Great class. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Great teacher! Makes you want to get involved in the class. Extreme amounts of positive reinforcement. Teaches in a way that is easy to retain the information. Good class and teacher to have.
Great teacher, very helpful and good at teaching in ways that make it easy to retain information. He uses positive reinforcement that lets you know you are appreciated and rewards you for your comments. Very laid back teaching style and no-nonsense approach to psychology. All in all, I highly recommend Dr. Leary to everyone.
He is extremely patient and makes sure that he gets his point across. I definitely recommend him to anyone that is interested in Psych. He really gets in deep in some of the topics and makes you think about things you normally wouldn't. :)
He is a great teacher. Very patient and kind.
I thought he was a great professor...Love his method of teaching by engaging the students and interacting amongst the class as a whole. It's a "fill-in-the blank" style that I find to be very effective.
Awesome teacher. Don't miss this course! Goes for psychology and human growth and development. :)
Professor Leary is very intelligent and has great teaching technique. He is laid back and easy to talk to. I recommend him to any and everyone!
Dr. Leary uses a humanistic approach to teaching. He follows his philosophy and there is never any hypocrisy seen from him. He rewards each student with compliments when they are active in discussion and keeps students engaged with example videos.
Really sparked my interest in a subject I really didn't know much about he really made class enjoyable and interesting
Hot, Intelligent, Nice , Helpful. Lets you express your opinion, listens to you and cares about making sure you understand the class and related material, he really cares about his students
I thought he was an awesome teacher. He helped me with everthing and answered any questions I had. He was also very good with keeping the class involved. His teaching styles were always changing i.e one day would be going over a chapter,then we would be watching a a movie,then it would be going over some examples of an idea. He was awesome overall!
Dr. Leary manages to create an atmosphere that is relaxed, but still very conducive to learning and participation. He also manages to present material through many different types of media (books, lecture, open discussion, movies, etc.) so everyone has an opportunity to learn regardless of their learning style. Great Instructor!!
Proffesor Leary manages to teach well enough throughout the course. However, he has asks us to prepare ourselves for events or presentations, and pushes those events back for days or weeks. This aspect of class is frustrating, as I would much rather have presentations done and over with asap. Overall however he is a great teacher.
This professor is awesome. By far the best that I have had here at Edison State College. He cares about his students, and their future well being. His class room setting is great with active participation every class. You have to study for his test but through participation he constantly reviews what you need to know. Overall take his class!!
Great teacher. I have learned to study and look for information in different ways because of Dr.Leary.All teachers should have the skills he has to teach. He uses different ways for learning reading, text book,movies, articles tests, disscusions. i wish i had him for all my classes i feel i would learn more in depth.he has changed my attitude.
Great professor with a profound interest in the success of his students. Shows great motivation for the subject area and provides additional resource material for more learning.
Overall great professor. Very interesting class discussions and videos. I recommend his class.
Best teacher, easy class, Leary makes it very interesting. Likes to talk about subjects and prjects done in class, so there is a lot of class interactions. Had him for both pychology and human development. TAKE THE CLASS!
I think that Dr. Leary is a great teacher. He keeps his dicsussions interesting which makes students interact more in the class room.
Dr. Leary perfected the humanistic way of teaching. His positive responses to class interaction help students retain more information. The examples he picks for the class to study leaves an urge for students to do independent research to satisfy personal question. Dr. Leary in my personal opinion is bettering America with one class at a time.
Dr. Leary made a class that I didn't want to take interesting. Great Prof.
Dr. Leary was one of the most brightest teachers iv'e ever learned from. I loved his class, is was fun and challenging. i took him again for another semester because of the impact he had on me. He made psychology very interesting. I feel he deserves teacher of the year in my opinion.
Great class. Lots of good information. Good videos used. Fun classroom environment with class discussions
I love Dr. Leary's class we have a lot of great discussions and the fact that he is a laid back professor makes me want to actually go to his class to learn.
Professor Leary was definitely one of the greatest teachers i have ever had! I highly recommend taking any classes he teaches it`s fun and he makes it exciting every day
great teacher needs to speak up tho interesting class reminds me of jimmy buffet i like the way he dresses amanda enright is in the class which makes my day :) i like how he picks me out of everyone in the class especially when it comes to womens menopause which i have no clue about since i am 20 year old male
Professor Leary was a great professor! He was thorough, intelligent, helpful, entertaining and informative.
Professor Leary is a extremely caring and motorvating teacher with very high and tough stardards. I give him the highest possible recommendation.
Awesome teacher. Loves what he teaches and gives positive reinforcement for engaged students. Goes above to ensure the success of his students. Attend class, pay attention and you'll get an "A". I would highly recommend him for General Psychology
I Entered into professors Leary's class Not knowing much about Psycology. Very ethical, and professional in his work. He gave assignments and he expected it to be done in a professional manner. The information that I received from his class has made me more aware. The classes that I took after his class has helped me, I am more informed and will
Easy class. Not a lot of homework assignments. Good and fun professor.
Prof. Leary makes class fun and interesting. His teaching style makes it easy to learn and remember whats important. Excellent Professor.
I had some interest in psychology prior to attending this class...then I got really into the subject. This professor did an excellent job of including everyone in the class without making anyone feel uncomfortable. All in all...he is a great professor!
A little off topic and repetative at time. But lots of fun, overall great teacher!
Professor Leary has that unique ability to bring any student into a personal learning experience. He gives the respect and care for the student but yet gives a student the room to fail if not dedicated. This makes learning his course material a personal accomplishment not mandatory. I trully enjoyed his course and his teaching style!
He was clear in his delivary of what topics were about. He answered in detail any questions about topics. He realy wanted students to learn and was realistic in his approach.
VERY VERY good teacher! extremely helpful! any questions you may have he will answer to help clarify! Good class discussions and class is a fun time! Definitely the best class I have taken in college in all my 6 years of going to school! Highly recommend this teacher, will not disappoint! Enjoy!
Extremly great, superb teacher! I had a great time taking this class! Would highly recommend it to any psychology major or someone who needs a good elective. Professor Leary knows his stuff and will help you out with any question you may have. Overall, best class I have taken in my entire college career! TAKE TAKE TAKE!
professor leary is absolutely awesome, i learn so much from information from this class that i found to be helpful in my daily living activites. He explains all the new terminology. I found this class to be helpful in obtaining my degreee in Nursing.
when coming to professor leary's class i feel a sense of calmness and peace, he makes the material easily understood and takes time out to explain in detail the information. i learned how to work with different indivdiuals from the course. Professor Leary is very caring and understanding towards everyone needs. I would highly recommend him.
I feel that Professor Leary instucts Psychology in a way that is easily understandable to the layman student. He focuses on subjects that are directly related to General Psycology as it pertains to the individual students interaction with society as a whole. I truly enjoy his instuction, and feel that I will be able to accomplish my goals.
Professor Leary makes you want to come to class. He has a passion for his field that many teachers today lack. I took his course simply from all the positive word of mouth I heard about him and I have not been disappointed. Very helpful, always willing to clarify. Wonderful Professor.
Great lecture professor.
Professor Leary is a phenomanol instructor. He interacts with the students, gives and receives feedback, values student in put and keeps the student well motivated in his classes.This is my second class with him and I wish others would have his teaching style. Thanks, Doc!
Professor Leary is a very straight forward instructor who is very sensitive to all students needs.
He is one of the best teachers I have had. He interacts with the class, while keeping everyone motivated and interested. His class is at a good pace.

this professor really wants you to learn. he loves what he does and it shows in his teaching still i enjoyed his calss teremendously.
Mr. Leary is a very knowlegeble professor who intergrades current events in physhological life. He emphasizes alot on positive morals. His focus is more on learning assesment and knowleged gained other than nonscence. His articulate lectures are a great experience. I highly recomend Mr. Leary!
Prof. Leary wanted us to learn. He said striving for an "A" is good, but to learn something from the class. He was down to earth willing to explain in detail anything the students did not understand. I highly recomend Prof. Leary, he is an outstanding teacer.
His class is phenomal if you came in a bad mood because of your last professor's atitude, or the stress from your life. He will make you leave w/ a great attutude towards life, family school work just all around a better person than before you came in. He makes you want to come to class and for me that is hard. Outsanding professor.
Professor Leary is one of the best teachers i have ever had. His teaching methods are both fun and effective and his class is challenging yet fun at the same time.
I liked how helpful and supportive Professor Leary is. Whenever i needed help he would help me without giving away the answer. The test were challenging, but the studying and lectures helped a bunch.
Excellant communication with students, very informative and friendly. Is willing to work with students and help them with the subject. Highly recommend him.
Open minded discussions, very informative in subject. Friendly and professional. A great class to take and be a part of.

Dr. Leary is one ofthe nicest proffessor I have ever known. He is difficult but fair.
I enjoyed being in this class my professor was very informative and knowlegable.I would recomaend him to anyone who was intrested in the sych. profession
Prof. Leary is the most motivating teacher I have ever had a class with. He promotes teamwork, leadership, positive reinforcement, and really gets to know each individual student. He takes the time to know every student's name making everyone feel welcomed and comfortable. I learned very much from Dr.Leary and enjoyed participating in his class :)
Dr. Leary was a joy to work with. His insights on the subject matter was very clear and concise. I would definitely take this class again.
Professor Leary was a very pleasant teacher. Very well knowledged and explained things with very excellent metaphors. Would recommend his class to everyone I know. Interesting class learning experience as well..
Dr. Leary used alot of positive reinforcement of students during class which helped me alot! Being very shy I felt confident by the end of the semester. He is a very caring professor and is clear and makes learning the material very fun. He encourages students to do well and I wish he taught nursing classes now :)
Prof Leary has a great command of the material.Talks with his students, not just teach. During testing he shows where there cld be room for improvement. Guaranteed A!
Great teacher! He really does care. Knows his stuff. Uses modern day examples. I took his 8am class and actually got a great grade. He made 8am learning not too bad!!
this professor is awesome he is very passionate about helping a student learn and improve. this is the best professor i have ever had...
I feel the teacher really tries his hardest to reach his students. Theirs no doubt he is an effective teacher. I have learned a lot and enjoyed going to class. Now and then he can repeat himself, but that stuff is usaully on the tests. I think out of all teachers I would choose gim over anyone.
I feel that this professor turned a class that could be very boring into a course that when I am able to attend it I look forward to it. The class periods are 3 hours long so that is a pretty difficult task. Also he is a very understanding teacher and very helpful. His concern is on us learning the material not failing us. I advise you to take him.
Professor Leary is a great instructor. Very knowledgeable. Very helpful. Tests are tough but he covers all the material prior and gives you a voice in his class.
I love this class and the way Professor Leary teaches, he gets the class involved. He is so smart and when I say that, I mean he is worldy smart. He brings such great life experiences to the class and allows the students who are of all ages and cultures to respond. Truly the professor you want to get if you are taking this class.
Prof. Leary is one of my favorite professors ever!!! He makes everyone feel welcome and appreciated. He is the eptiome of what a professor should be. He gives tons of positive reinforcement and is fun to be around. I really learned a lot from his class and would strongly reccommend him to any student.
The Professor was very detailed and the learning experience was awesome. many new and intesting subjects were covered. I highly recommend him and look forward to taking another course with him.
Dr. Leary has an ability to get the entire class involved in learning not only the chapter discussions, but he incorporated movies in his lessons as well. These helped to distinguish between different concepts in Psychology, thus making it easier to learn. We in our class all felt that it was his desire that we all learned what we came here for.
Dr. Leary in an exceptional professor!!! He has been a joy to have as a teacher. His insights proved to be relevant and usable in everyday life. I would be honored to take or retake this class again. I have been very enlightened by his teaching techniques!
Dr Leary really knows alot about this stuff.. (He could teach the course based on experience, without the textbook, if he had too) Not once did I ever get bored in his class. He teaches with alot of enthusiasim.. There is ALOT of group disscusion and student input in his class. You will and I felt very motivated to succeed. UTSTANDING STYLE!!

Professor Leary was involved and passionate about the interests of the student and readily encouraged learning. He was very challenging in regards to courseload, class discussions, and textbook use. Phenomenal professor whom I would recommend to anyone, and have, as a psychology and/or human growth and development teacher.
Human Growth and Development, if not properley approached, can be difficult. This class was fun.

Very professional professor. Covers all required material and stays on topic. Has a great passion to share the knowledge with his students. Highly recommended.
I had Prof. Leary a couple of semesters ago for Human Growth and Devolopment and for General Psych. I found his teaching style professional, informative and easy to understand. His homework and quizzes provided a helpful means for understanding the content of the course. I highly reccomend him to future students.
He was a great teacher. Very clear on what he wanted you to study. Very verbal class. Fun to attened and I learned alot.
This is the best teacher EVER! I highly reccomend Mr. Leary! I owe him so much. He is very clear about what he wants from you and is very nice and understanding. He reviews before each test. Make sure you highlight in the text as he goes. Potlucks and movies were fun. He loves what he does and it shows. Again, very caring and just the best. Peopl
Professor Leary is AWESOME!!! Great teacher. He makes you think. Study and do your extra credit (he gives you a chance for extra credit just about every day) and you will be fine! Great teacher, cannot stress that enough.
Best psych teacher ever! so much extra credit and one of the nicest teachers at fgcu.
Had prof for psy and marketing, and he was fantastic! Knowledgeable and passionate about all subjects covered he made the material easy to understand for those who had difficulty. I couldn't have asked for a better professor. If you get the opportunity to take one of his classes DO IT! He will be a positive spot in your college career! 5 STARS!!!
Dr. Leary teaches at Barry University, FGCU, and Edison College. He does a fantastic job at all 3! I feel he is very passionate about teaching. His delivery of the material is exceptional. My interest in psychology has increased phenomenally. I especially appreciate how he raises the bar. Take him anyplace - you can't go wrong!
I enojoyed both classes I have taken with professor Leary. I took General Psych. as well as Human Growth and Development with him. He is very passtionate about his work. and truely enjoys what he does, and that makes the class much more enjoyable, and the material much easier to retain.
Very informative course. Participation is a major part of your grade, so be willing to voice your opinion in class. Great course overall.
Through the times of dicorvering one's self in an educational setting, it is important to set yourself up with professors that will help broaden your college deversity. Dr. leary is that individual, not only has he done all these things for me, he also did the same thing for my father back when he attended the same college. Thank you Dr. Leary.
What a great class! Dr. Leary truly loves what he teaches. Class participation is huge with class discussions and answering questions. He makes learning the material fun and interesting.
Dr. Leary (i-o psych FGCU)provides a positive learning environment through student participation and feedback. The topics discussed relate to the psychology of work, but they can be applied in almost any setting and include race and gender issues. There are no tricks in this class, if you pay attention and engage you will do well.
Dr. Leary ROCKS! Whether it is Barry or Edison,you will learn allot.He keeps you motivated and relates the course to the real world! He wants students to succeed and is always available to assist. His courses can be challenging and it reminds you you're not in high school any more. Great teacher and great classes.
Maybe my favorite teacher ive had so far. Very friendly and helpful.
Professor Leary is extremely energetic and easy-going. He seems to enjoy his job and during his lectures you can tell he has an extensive background in psychology.
Excellent class was informative and compelling would enjoy taking this professor again anytime.
Very passionate and great professor! I recommend him for any psychology class. I learned a lot in his class and actually enjoyed going. He is very fair and really cares about his student.
One of the best teachers i have ever had!
