Comment:
I really enjoyed Professor Leben's classes -- so much so that I asked him to be my advisor after I was inspired by him to major in linguistics. Yes, he is hard of hearing, but when you realize how patient he is with his students, you learn also to be patient with him.

Comment:
I took this class in the early 90s and his hearing was already shot - I cannot believe that he could still be teaching! A really nice guy, but he's gotta let it go.

Comment:
I was going to declare in Linguistics until I took Leben's phonology course -- it was horrible! He was unclear, unhelpful, and, ironically, hard of hearing. In a LINGUISTICS class. That, and he talks like the Mad Hatter in Disney's "Alice in Wonderland". His class was a terrible experience.
