Jim Leone

I have had this professor for 3 classes now. He is a great guy to deal with personally. He is understanding and flexible but he really doesn't know what he is talking about. You won't learn anything from him. You learn in the labs by doing it yourself

He knows his networking stuff. It's like he's got a huge hard drive that he can alway access with no bad sectors.

I think professor Leone is in need of some improvement. Inside, I think he knows most of what he teaches, but he is often wrong. If you plan on taking him make sure to watch everything that he writes, and talks about, like a hawk.

In 516. Nice Person! Tries hard to help students when asked. A fair grader. Doesn't fully know the material. Lecture/Notes had too many mistakes that students had to point out.

Always prepared and on time. Concerned that students learn, always listens. All around great guy. Willing to help even if he doesn't know the answer he will go out of his way to find it.

Always prepared, knows his stuff, always tells you how it is (no BS kind of guy), tests are fair, grades everything realistically ... I would take more classes with him if I had the opportunity before graduation.

This is probably one of the nicest teachers I've had in a long time. If he doesn't know an answer to a question he will find it out and tell the class the next class. He might not be the most practically skilled guy in the department but he is always will

This guys a real idiot. Im not saying he's hard teacher, In fact I breezed through Internetworking just bc he hardly knows it himself. He's got a Chemistry degree, if that doesnt explain it, I dont know what does. The man will teach for 2 hrs and nobod

Had him for 402. Always prepared for class, never late. Did a pretty good job of conveying the material, but a few more relevant examples would have been helpful, particularly in a scripting class. Tests were fair, but the labs were impossible. I don'

You do not want to go in his office. He really get upset by that.

Leone likes to share his notes with the class. He does NOT teach anything. He is not friendly at all. If you have a specific course related question, he will answer it. Otherwise he will not talk to you.

When I had him several years ago in a class (which I dropped), this was his most often used quote to answer questions students asked: "I don't know!!" Need I say more.

I have him for netlab I. He gets stumped on most questions asked in class. It was funny when he tripped on the podium because he had a hard time answering a question. He is a great guy and a great professor.

He's kinda kooky, really nice and is more than willing to help you out and explain things if you show up to class, give a damn and actually try. He doesn't give free rides but if that's what you want, go to the Computer Learning Center!

I had VB I and II with Leone, and after taking these classes, I don't have much confidence in my programming skills... at all. Nice guy, but needs to drive home those ideas a bit better.

More often than not he had no clue wtf he was saying and could not answer student questions. Fair tests and grading as well as obviously trying his best gets him kudos though... Doesn't change the fact he's boring in class.

Leone is such a nice guy so I hate to say this. I had him for Internetworking lecture, terrible..he rambles, doesn't have the knowledge to answer questions, teaches as if he's learning it for the first time. Unless you're already familiar with a subject

He wasnt too helpful in the lab. Couldn't answer most of our questions. Had to get other lab prof to help us out.

At least he made me laugh when he fell off the podium.

I had Professor Leone as a lab instructor for 342. His labs were very abstract, difficult to follow and often were missing important steps (ex. setting a gateway address, or HOW to change certain settings on the MACS). He wasn't much help when I asked h

He knows his information and he is strait forward, but he could be a little more supportive and nicer. If your really book smart, maybe he would be a better choice for you.

So far he is struggling to do well... He makes mistakes more than often and gets confused by questions posed to him. I don't think he is the best in teaching Intro to Routing (515) by ANY means!!!

He is a nice guy but just doesnt know the material he is teaching.

A Wonderful Human-being. Very helpful. Charming and friendly. He has lots of good values that other professors lack.

Come on people, Leone isn't *that* bad. Leone is one of the nicest people I have met here at RIT, and if you have half a brain, you can do fine in his classes. Yes, a lot of what Leone teaches must be learned by memorization, but that's not his fault. Leo
