Comment:

Felt like social media with big brother reporting in. Took a real kumbaya take on communication (there is no such thing as communication breakdown) while yelling at us for being stupid and doing it wrong. He is a my way or the highway kind of professor so if you aren't on the same wavelength with him, DROP!

Comment:

Professor Leonard was a decent professor. He provided good material and the course was relatively easy. My only complaint about him is that he is extremely unkind and does not care about your life outside of class. He seems to think that his course is the most important for everyone. He only wants his students to succeed to an extent.

Comment:

He is extremely unkind and does not care about anything you might have going on in your life outside of class. He does not accept late work, is one of "those" professors that makes everything due on Friday for their own convenience, and takes off 50% of your grade for one small typographical error. Avoid him at all cost, he is not a joy in class.

Comment:

Professor Leonard has been the best teacher I have had at sinclair. He is hilarious and I actually want to attend his classes. A lot of work is done in class and instructions are clear. For a class that can seem intimidating he makes it fun. As long as you put in your best effort and show up for speeches you are fine!

Professor Leonard was one of my favorite teachers! He is a very caring guy and understands if you are not ready to give a speech on your date. He helps with your work if you just ask. He really enjoyed our class and would give us extra credit fairly often!

I don't know if it is the teacher or the class but either way this is one of the easier classes I have taken at Sinclair.

Comment:

The information taught in this class is applicable in the real world. Professor Leonard states on the syllabus that the class is difficult. The course material itself is not difficult, but the way it is measured is. No feedback is given on assignments. He is a slow grader. You are given one minute to answer each critical thinking question.

Sort of had a bad impression of this teacher at first. Ended up having some major issues outside of school about halfway through the term. Basically ghosted the class for literally two and a half weeks, came back thinking I was screwed. Crammed in like almost half a terms work into the last week, down to the last day. He was totally good with it.

If this is your first public speaking course take him, very enjoyable, works well with students, personable, normal class. Doesn't like late work, will work with you if your nervous or just not ready for speeches. Homework and work is easy if you pay attention in class. Take him if you have the chance I looked forward to this class!

I have had him in-person as well as in the classroom. He is SO much better in person! His expectations are better laid out & he makes classroom time/assignments as fun as possible. He does have daily quizzes so be prepared to read outside of class. Overall, he would be one of my favorite professors at Sinclair. Worth taking his class!

Robert Leonard is a very nice and laid back professor. The class is difficult not because he is a bad teacher but because public speaking (overall) is difficult.

I took his online class and had to drop it. His essays have very vague instructions. I have been writing academic essays for five years and have never gotten anything below a B. For my first essay in his class, I received a D. The only way I could have gotten a better grade was if he dictated the essay to me. I'm a hardworking student. He's bad.

Kinda in between with this teacher if you have him online. A lot of points available most are easy to receive. Vague directions with papers and poor response time to questions. Assignments are easy and no final just 4 exams online. I got a B+ because some of his exams are timed and info is hard to memorize. No real complaints though, I passed!

Comment:

This guy is horrible to take online. Takes at least a month to grade a single paper. gives vague assignments and takes forever to answer questions about them. Gives no info about what to expect on exams. He spent more time putting a lame photo of himself in an intro than he did assisting students in the class. Do not recommend. Waste of money.

Nice, funny, super smart. Class is never boring because he never lectures. Lots of teaching yourself but he makes quizzes and exams really easy. Be ready to present in front of the class several times throughout the semester. Taking him again in the fall!

Comment:

Would not recommend this professor. He was never on time to class, he also cancelled class all the time. He doesn't teach, but makes you read the entire book to take the quizzes and comprehensive final. He is rude when asked for help. Yes he is funny, but not fair in grading certain things at all. Took all semester for him to post grades.

Comment:

Online- the class is a mess. Assignment directions are very unclear and you can't even use your previous grades on similar assignments to improve because he returns grades about 2-3 weeks later, despite arranging the due date mid weekend to help his grading timing. In another class his (still late) responses to each students grades are identical.
