Comment:

I took Business Writing from John in 1985. It was a prerequisite for my Business Degree. John was the worst teacher, by far, that I have ever had. He told a lot of stories about his rich aunt and how he hoped to get her money. I hope she left it to charity. John, seriously, your life amounts to zero. You have done nothing meaningful with it.

Comment:

John Leahy is by far the worst teacher I have ever had to encounter. He fails students because they do not know the material and the reason they do not get it is because he only discusses his past life and his poodles during class, instead of teaching his students. I have since graduated with an MBA and have only recieved a D one time - his class.

Comment:

This is the hardest class i've ever taken and the only class i've studied for. It payed off... i recieved nearly 100% on every test. Most students fail almost every test. If you attend class and listen than you'll know what he wants to hear on the test. He says the same things over and over again.

Comment:

I wasted my money on the book, he didn't even test that much on the book or the lectures. He always talked about his own person lawsuits or his ex-wife. I hope this guy isn't teaching anymore, because I senced that he didn't like life.

Comment:

Definately the worst teacher I've ever had. I would describe just how bad he is, but everyone else has pretty much covered it. I am, however, very much pleased to hear that after all these years, his ex-wife's success and his lack of success still gets his panties up in a bunch. :o)

Worst teacher. I walked out after the first test. His tests was not too hard but he only accepts his answer. Very bitter about his ex wife and one of his neighbors and thats about all he talks about.

The worst teacher I have ever had in my educational career. He is depressing, arrogant, completely unhelpful, cruel, and an absolute disgrace to all teachers and professors. This man is a waste of your tution.

Believe it or not, I kinda like this guy. The material is boring enough - his attitude made things amusing at times. Read about Demming before your 1st day and impress him.

John Leahy is a strange fellow. He's intelligent, funny, and honest about life and the state of the country, yet his class was most difficult. So difficult, I switched to a different instructor.

Tries to refer all topics to his own pending lawsuits. He's a business law professor and he doesn't even know enough to prevent himself from winding up in court.

Comment:

He's the most depressing and arrogant instructor that I've had. He consistantly puts down America, our government, our leadership (G. Bush), our education system and American students. He should go back to Canada and not come back.

Comment:

He is horrible. Thank God he is retiring next semester, but I'd rather see him fired, cause it only makes him more senile to us this semester. He is very unclear and all over the board. He cannot stay on topic. He is very prejudiced and arrogant.

Comment:

The Teacher is mentally unstable. Today he talked about how he is afraid his neighbor will try to run him down with a car and he now goes for "walks" with a loaded gun.
