James MacDonald AREC433 Expecting an A Anonymous 07/06/2021	Had him for both 433 and 427. Very knowledgeable from his past experiences working at the USDA, and would reference past work that he did while there. He is a very easy and forgiving grader, and a decent lecturer. Very respective and always willing to adapt the class based on student needs. Highly recommend him if you are interested in going into the USDA at any point.
Howard Leathers AREC433 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/04/2011	Test are every other week. He has changed his whole class because people are saying his class is too easy. Now in order to get an A you MUST attend all the lectures or at least get all the notes because his exams are mostly based on them. His final was tough too, but if you keep up with the daily articles/reading you'll do fine for the final. He also does not curve , alot of people were upset , so if you get a 89.9% you'll get a B. Over all good class.
Howard Leathers AREC433 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/19/2009	The class isn't very engaging because the lectures consist of him only lecturing with no types of in-class discussions or small group discussions to break things up. That said, he gives a lot of A's and B's if you put in the effort. He can be a bit strict at time, but he is a nice guy who will help you if you need it. If you're an AREC major looking to fulfill your major requirements, this is a good course to take.
