Comment:

Leap is an alright professor and your grade in that class is 100% negotiable. He has tons of leanancy with homework times and test grades. He tells stories half the class while he teaches the other half. He knows what he's doing and very knowledgeable on the subject. He is always availble outside of class and willing to help.

Comment:

Missing class means nothing in the long haul. Very helpful outside of class with programs. Sometimes goes off on tangents in class, but still gets some work done. No readings are necessary. Program due dates are usually flexible as long as he knows the student is working on it.

Leap doesn't care anymore but that doesn't mean that he doesn't know his stuff and teach you a lot of good information, it just means he's laid back. His class is what you make of it so keep him on topic!

He talks a lot about irrelevent stuffs in class. As an international student, I don't quite enjoy his humor. He doean't give me much interest in his class. However, he's helpful.

Comment:

Very kind and helpful man. He is one of the few professors who will go out of their way and stay way past their office hours just to help you. His class is relatively good. He goes off on a lot of tangents during class and his jokes are kind of corny, but he is an excellent teacher. One of Etown's best.

Moody. He slacks off on teaching, so people slack on their work a little. He gets mad. Bad cause-effect situation.

very nice man, with a very awful sense of humor. He's approachable and open, but his dialogue does not keep you interested at all. its not a pain if you fall asleep, because he's done it too

Seriously, if you can't get an A in a Leap class, go back to the El. Ed. department and don't look back.

Didnt spend too much time teaching...AT ALL! Jokes were dumb, tests were hard probably b/c he didnt teach us anything he put on them. Didnt open the book, ONCE the whole semester.
