Prof. Leslie is one of the best professors I have ever come across. Analysis 1 is a hard class and he provides fantastic intuition. He cares deeply about his students and the lectures, and it comes through. He was always available to help beyond the lectures and truly inspired me to learn more math!Rate My Professors ↗
Best math professor Ive had by a wide margin. Organized, clear, and cares about his students. Lectures were engaging despite being an online calc lecture. Disabled students are never an after thought, which is hot (captioned videos, clear exam times, etc). My only gripe is that he was just visiting :(Rate My Professors ↗
One of the best professors I've ever had. Extremely clear explanations, dropped lowest exam, homework is similar to exams, and exams are easy to study for. Lectures are asynchronous (recorded). Responded in a meaningful way to feedback about course technicalities. Assignment due dates lenient. I really wish he wasn't leaving Madison :((.Rate My Professors ↗
Good teaching with detailed explanations. Homework is a normal quantity but it will take some time. Overall it is quite easy to get an A. And he replied all my emails and often notices students for homework and exams. Quite considerateRate My Professors ↗
Conducted weekly tests which seemed like a lot of work but overall was a great way to keep students engaged throughout the semester. Fair grading criteria and great lectures. Best Math professor I've had at UWMadison.Rate My Professors ↗
