I've had many classes with Dr. Leiker. Strongly recommend taking any of his classes. Dorky sense of humor that you either love or hate. Very helpful outside of class and wants to see students do well. Pay attention in class and you'll do fine on exams.

He class is easy to take. Gives you the notes and you take the quiz each week. He does use a book, but just as long as you have the notes from class, you should do fine.

He's all over the place. Talks about weather more than the geography part. Quizzes are pretty easy. Haven't touched my book once. Don't recommend getting buying the -- book waste of money.

This is a very good professor. A very smart man who knows what he is talking about. He is also funny but can be a jerk sometimes. Overall i enjoy his class and i would take another class with him.

He is a great professor and he would give you the weather report in each class he taught. He quizzes are pretty easy, once you know the material. You have 13 quizzes, but will drop the 3 lowest. He also awards you if you have very good attendance and could raise your grade by having perfect attendance!

I really dont get why people give this guy good ratings. He is ridiculously not funny, and crued. I think he is one of the most unapproachable teachers I have ever had. I mean take it to get your lab science out of the way because its not hard, but seriously...this guy...

AWESOME professor!! Hands down one of the best at WSC, and also one of the funniest! Easy tests if you take notes in class, plus u can skip the last test if you have an A in the class. Labs aren't difficult and usually only take 30 minutes or so. Too bad he's retiring - I'd definitely love to take another of his classes!

Leiker is a good teacher, very organized, 13 quizzes, drops lowest 3, but in physical geography he gives 7 quizzes and drops lowest 3, so he gives u an oppurtunity to do well, straight lecture but hes one of the funniest professors on campus, flat out the guy is the man im sad to hear he is retiring

leiks out!!! hes the man. i just sat in class with my headphones on and i still got a A in the class. seriously though, i found this class interesting and it was very easy as well, dont be scared of the lab, most of the time i finished in like 20 min. If you like destruction and disaster then you will fit perfect with leiks. He is the man.
