Kenneth Leonard AREC260 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/15/2023	He's a passionate lecturer and is loose on deadlines. But, he is often unresponsive on email and also assigns a lot of reading. Grading policies are nice you have 3 midterms and the lowest one gets dropped (the final counts as a midterm so I skipped it). A couple of group projects, which are easy if you just split the work up. I didn't find any interest in the topics he presented but take him if you want an A, but you will have to work a bit for it.
Kenneth Leonard AREC260 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/08/2023	He is a great professor. I took this class by accident thinking i signed up for another class, but i was not disappointed. He's so fun, so kind, and so knowledgeable. He has actually done studies in Africa and India on the subject and he is even featured in our class textbook. He is very impressive. For his class specifically engaging in important. He loves having class conversations and discussing what students think about certain topics. He is just such a great guy and is great at being moderate in discussions. There is a textbook for the class and it is necessary because you'll read a chapter in it every week, but it's not that expensive. There are three exams in total and he drops one, so I don't have to take the final. So make sure you do well on the first two because you're not going to want to worry about another test. We have weekly reflections on the chapters due at the end of the week, but he does not take off for late submissions and doesn't really care.
Kenneth Leonard AREC260 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/08/2023	This class is amazing. Kenneth has very interactive lectures, and the hardest thing about the course are the weekly reading assignments, which are honestly not that bad once you read the chapter. The tests are very easy, and are something you will learn how to prepare for during the semester. Grading is very lenient, and he is very willing to accommodate if you talk to him. He is a very personable professor, and is very entertaining in his lectures and conversations. I highly recommend this course.
Kenneth Leonard AREC260 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/06/2023	This class is an easy A. If that's what you want, then take it. The material itself is fine, but there's quite a bit of it. If you skim the readings, come to three-fourths of the lectures, and do the assignments, then you'll get an A. The professor is nice, but a bad lecturer. Many of his claims include controversial topics, but he doesn't seem interested in having thoughtful conversations about those topics. It comes off as him trying to be provocative to get students' attention. You'll also hear some interesting things about gender roles.
Kenneth Leonard AREC260 Expecting an A apandya7 12/01/2023	In a semester filled with a lot of bad professors, I found Professor Leonard shined as a great lecturer who created an interesting and active learning environment. Respective to the class of AREC 260, Professor Leonard presents views on the economic aspects in relation to gender that alter the way you think about marital relations and the job market. Although the class is very heavy on reading, I found myself willing to do it because the class was so interesting. Full props to Professor Leonard for turning a class I fully thought would be a joke into the most interesting class I took this semester. Also the midterms are not bad at all and he drops a lot of your lowest grades including lowest midterm (that means if you do good enough on the first two you can drop the final).
Kenneth Leonard AREC260 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/29/2023	Easy Peasy, Prof Leonard is so easy and kind. Most of my assignments (reading reflections) were graded as 100% (we have once a week). You can get by without reading the material and he drops one exam (I won't be taking the final because I am happy with my grade), 8 participation grades, and 2 reading reflections. Yes, it's a lot of reading but you can get a good understanding by skimming and doing the assigment. Also, exams are open note open books. 10/10 recommend for easy A
Kenneth Leonard AREC260 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/11/2022	He tends to ramble but the class is over all an easy A. The only thing is that it is a decent amount of reading but if you get a good TA you'll do fine and he is loose with deadlines and drops your worst paper. If you do the reading and review his slides you don't really need to go to class to do well.
