Comment:

DO NOT TAKE LEEKLEY. TAKE BRAUN/BROWN. It is unfair how Leekley decides to give really hard tests and group projects., while Braun does the opposite and even skips chapters. The book is alright, sometimes a little too wordy. He is really hard to hear and makes really tough tests. Just don't take him for Stats 227.

Comment:

Professor Leekley, where do I even start, this man... correction idol is the reason I am the person I am today. His upbeat tempo and go get 'em attitude puts me through the rest of my day. He was very helpful and always provided adequate office hours for students to get help. He is very talkative and gets the entire class involved in the lesson.

Don't sit in the back of the class because you'll never hear a word he says. I've heard he's great one-on-one

Way too boring in class. Never truly engages anyone in class and you can clearly see every student doing something else during his classes. Please do not take him!

He is amazing. He genuinely cares about how the students do, and is always there to help. He may be a tad boring, but the fact that he is so intelligent makes up for it. Take a class with him!

He is such a great teacher. If you follow along and read the book before class like he suggests his class is pretty easy. He's super helpful and always open to talk to students at office hours.I would take another class from him.

I loved this guy. He was so understanding and helpful for a somewhat tough subject. Writing his own book was a great thing. Very clear, and his examples were so helpful,(you might even catch one or two of them on a test!)

He thinks that the class knows more then it actually does. I left his class all the time thinking that this was way over my head because he didn't explain it from the beginning. The book is worthless.

Leekley is extremely intelligent and possesses a lot of knowledge regarding economics, and he is clear with his expectations. However, econo****ingmetrics was simply beyond me.
