Really interesting class. Participation is EXTRA CREDIT, it helps a lot if you don't do too well on exams. Professor really tries to involve students and their lives in scenarios that happen in law. Let's you use study guide for exams. Amazing professor!

Comment:

It's really easy to get an A in any of his classes... if you can stay awake. He is pretty boring and talks A LOT. But he does throw a joke in here and there, so he does try. And he is very helpful, like if you are ever confused about anything he will explain it to you until you understand. So i recommend you take him. Two words: Easy A.

Really interesting class. Professor really tries to involve students and their lives in the discussions. One of the more captivating classes I've had. The cases he has you study were precedents decided decades ago, and I'm thinking that's how old the xeroxed copies are (missing pages and all). But other than that, amazing professor and course!

One of my favorite classes at the Mount! Dr. Leese is very understanding and patient. I only remember one group project, but he grades individually so don't worry about slackers bringing you down.

Comment:

I really enjoyed this class, he has a lot of discussions so be ready to participate, he likes participation. Most of his class is based on essay writing, but it is not difficult, just make sure you do the writing and you will be fine. It's easy to get an A if you do the work. His classes can be slow but he's funny and lighthearted.

Comment:

He is a really nice professor but he made the class fall asleep most of the time. His lectures are really boring and thats what the 16 weeks consist of. Make sure you do not write your papers the day before because those papers make up most of your grade.

He does assign group work, but I only had one project in the class, with a girl who didn't do anywork. I spoke to him about it, and he took care of it. she didn't affect my grade at all. Very interesting, and easy to talk to.

Dr. Leese is the greatest asset MSMC has, do make sure you participate in class, listen and enjoy all his stories of his experiences, what you learn in his classes you will remember in the real world. Best classes Bussiness Law & Real Estate Law

Dr. Leese is great. His classes are interesting, the reading material is good, and he honestly enjoys teaching it. He brings in lots of supplementary materials (movies, etc). Usually just 3 5 page papers and participation is your whole grade-very reasonable. I will take his classes again!

Even if you can write, participation is enough to bring your grade down 1 letter. Make sure by the end of the semester he knows who you are and that you raise yoru hand a lot and it should be ok

He is a very interesting professor and he lectures and gets everyone involved in the class discussions. The group work is not bad at all. ONLY ONE GROUP ASSIGNMENT, big deal!

3 words: Detestable Group Work! He's interesting and an ok professor but loads on the group work so if you don't like working with people who don't tow their weight, steer clear!

Comment:

Dr. Leese only teaches one English class, American Experience. It's a shame he doesn't teach more English classes because he's an asset to the Department. He's stimulating, interesting, and challenging. Great class.
