Professor Leiter is absolutely AWESOME!!! I am so grateful to have had her as a Biology instructor. She will do all that she can to help you succeed in her class. She responds to you asap. If you have any questions or concerns you should show up to class and ask her personally about your concerns. She is always very careful to word her quizzes so that you have to have read and memorized the material. Be sure to know what are the objectives on the quizzes and you will do well. She gives good Extra Credit too.

Doctor Leiter is understanding, caring, respectful and sympathetic. She will answer any questions you have. Be sure to pay attention to PowerPoint slides and practical quizzes. Moreover, studying, asking questions, and memorizing are the keys to getting through the laboratory session.

I had to renew my Biology 210 credits. And Doctor Leiter is definitely the best person for the lab. She genuinely cares about her students. She makes sure they understand the material and goes above and beyond for them. Also, she will stay late after class, respond quickly thru email, and even make helpful practice quizzes for review. Honestly, I did not use the textbook. Take her class if you can.
