I'm a poli sci major and this was one of my favorite classes ive taken. Great professor, nothing is on the test that he doesnt deliberately address. one of the most fair classes ive taken. He makes science awesome. There is no reason why you should not get an A if you go to lecture and retain the information.

easy class overall. he sometimes goes on tangents that go beyond the scope of the class, but his review questions at the beginning of class are helpful. don't overthink the midterm or final questions, he's very straight-forward with his exams. go to class because he gives you the question and answer to the after-class quizzes.

The professor is a really nice guy. His lectures are easy to understand, but I have to admit that the class was a bit boring. Not my cup of tea I suppose. I ended up with a C

Dr. Lea is so sweet and nice, but this class is SO boring! You have to go to lecture because there is a mini quiz after each lecture on gauchospace. These questions are used word for word on the exams as well, which by the way are very challenging. I would say only take this class if you are really interested in the topic, otherwise STAY AWAY!!

I loved this class. It is a really interesting topic and is not too difficult. He makes lame jokes but you can't help to like him. He reviews his concepts continuously so if you go to lecture, you should easily get an A. Labs are easy. He's a very responsive, helpful, and caring professor. He is accomidating and is more than happy to help.

He's the kind of teacher that makes concepts sound twice as confusing as they should be. He frequently got distracted during lecture and it seemed like every other lecture he spent 5 minutes trying to make his laser pointer work again. Otherwise it was an easy class, take for GE's or GPA buffer!

Great professor, awesome lectures. All around enjoyable. Very fair. Good course for english majors to fulfill requirement C (math/science).

this guy...hahaha

he's an awesome guy! so many great stories about his research. really knows what he's teaching!

Very easy teacher! DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!!!!!!!!! Midterm/Final extremely easy if you pay attention in class. He's very willing to help you during office hours. dorky jokes..some boring lectures..but an easy class.

So great. Take his Oceanography class. It'll change the way you think about Geology. Dr. Lea is a crack-up, and he'll be glad to help if you don't understand something.

This class was totally great and such an easy A. If you attend lecture and take notes you are sure to do well. He tells you everything that is going to be on the midterm and final. Also, the subject matter is really interesting and he makes it very fun to learn.

great teacher, my favorite so far. i highly recommend this class and going to lecture because he tests on some stuff just from lecture. pretty easy too, just dont think its too easy and not study.

This was my favorite class. Great professor, I definetly reccommend it with him. Pretty easy if you go to lectures. Fun and interesting class.

A very dedicated professor. He loves teaching and wants his students to UNDERSTAND, not just know, the material. Tries hard to make sure concepts are explained well and well reviewed. Flambouyant personality, you laugh just looking at him. Knows "Finding Nemo" well.

This class is very enjoyable. It is easy, there is not a lot of work, and the professor makes it very interesting. He also prepares you for the tests very well, there werent any surprises. Highly recommended.

My favorite class; very interesting and the tests are straightfoward and he makes sure you know the material. Highly recommended.

Very nice and smart with dorky comments and jokes. Fun to sit through lectures with, lots of information, DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! Very interesting material.

very informative. Recommend going to class it is very informative and interesting. Is kind of a goober in office hours. Very intelligent

I love this class. For anyone interested in doing anything that has to do with the environment, this class does a cool into to how the atmosphere and the oceans work. I loved the class.

He is really funny and nice!
