Dr. Lea is an amazing professor. Her teaching style, compassion and ability to explain well complex processes allowed me to understand and enjoy the material covered in lectures. This is a challenging course but I thoroughly enjoyed coming to lectures.Rate My Professors ↗

Slideshow presentations did not always match lecture course notes, but she always clarified when stuff should be added or if it was necessary to know. I found her to be a very funny, compassionate, and knowledgeable professor. Offers a tremendous amount of outside help to those who need it. Exams were fair. I would take a course with her again!Rate My Professors ↗

Worst lecturer I've ever seen. Lectures are highly disorganized, with myriad redundant slides soaking up time recovering basic concepts while not leaving enough time to adequately explain the more complex details that will actually be tested. The text is necessary to figure out what she was trying (and failing) to teach us.Rate My Professors ↗

I am now sure that she is the best teacher I had. Somehow I did not feel comfortable learning from her.Rate My Professors ↗

Awesome professor! Her exams are harder than the second professor's, but she is still an awesome teacher. Go to lecture and you will learn what you need to know for the exams. If you need to take phys, take it the semester she teaches it!Rate My Professors ↗
