6. Use this space for any comments you may have about your discussion, lab, or recitation, etc.
  • Leming was a great instructor. He gave nice help to the students.
  • Seeing other labs the instructor did a lot of lecturing. Leming took a more one-on-one approach and helped you personally. He was very nice and helpful and knowledgeable. I emailed him a few times over spring break and he promptly responded to help me.
  • The lab was a joke, I finished projects before class, walked in and handed them in because it wasn't worth doing it there on a mac is a terrible computer to use
