Comment:

Not the best... His teaching style was kind of boring and he took forever to get through topics. His PowerPoints were so plain and the information was confusing. His blackboard page was also so disorganized that I had a hard time just finding the syllabus. I dont think he really gets how to engage his students in his lectures.

Comment:

Dr. Weber, while an impressive lecturer and very passionate about his expertise, the couple of times I went to him about certain things, he just seemed a bit rude and arrogant. This class was just a difficult one for me to follow and he really just wasnt my favorite, however, it isnt too difficult work wise and there are good conversations.

Dr. Weber is inspirational, funny and a great teacher. He does not control the material we have to learn (maybe expect for Weber's five unbreakable rules for public speaking) so don't complain if the information is dry. He tries his best to make it fun for everyone. Its a mandatory class so make the best of it. You got this.

Comment:

You can tell Dr. Weber really enjoys doing what he does. He's a good lecturer (though the course material itself is somewhat bland) and cares about his students. He makes a point to learn everyones name even in a huge class, which is pretty impressive. Also has lots of extra credit opportunities and is always willing to meet up and give feedback

Comment:

David Weber gives inspirational/motivational lectures and is interesting and funny. He encourages participation by students, and provides ample time for feedback and questions. He covers a great deal of material, but he also provides study guides for his exams along with extra credit oppotunities. He's a great guy, but does not pull any punches.

Comment:

Dr Weber shows time and time again that he cares about his students. He is unconventional, and will sometimes leave students with questions when leaving his class... but he cares. He wants his students to do well, he offers extra credit, study guides, and each test is cumulative. As a non-com major he even suggested some future classes to help me.

Comment:

This guy is boring to listen to. He goes on and on about nothing... It's a fairly easy class still. Do the study guide and there's no reason for you to make worse than a B. He's a real smoke show though. Hottest professor I've ever met. Major heart eyes for this hunk!

Didn't like him at first but I've grown to really, really love this guy. Of the 20 profs I've had so far, he's my #3. He really cares about his students and will learn all of their names (in a class of 200+) and he's really passionate about COM. You really have to work for your grade though; if you don't study, you'll do horribly.

Great guy, great professor, really does care about the success of all his students. Sometimes when he comes to class he wears a hat that makes him look like the professor from Jurassic Park.

WEBER MAKES YOU WORK FOR YOUR GRADE, BUT THE MATERIAL ISN'T VERY DIFFICULT. HE MAKES STUDY GUIDES FOR EVERY TEST, SO YOU SHOULDN'T DO POORLY ON THEM. HE'S VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT COMMUNICATION STUDIES. HE'S KIND OF HARSH SOMETIMES AND HIS LECTURES CAN GET BORING, BUT HE USUALLY LET'S THE CLASS LEAVE ABOUT 10 MINUTES EARLY.

Comment:

This has been my best class this semester because Dr. Weber knows what he is talking about when it comes to Communication Studies. We have 150-180 students in our class and he has addressed me personally several different times. It is refreshing to have a professor that appears to truly care about my success.

Weber loves to hear himself talk! Seemingly nice dude and he cares a lot about the topic but he speaks just for the sake of having his voice rattle through the classroom.

Comment:

Dr. Weber is by far the best Com Professor I have ever had. Although his tests are not easy if you don't study, he truly wants each and every one of his students to succeed. I went into his office one day for career advice, and I have never felt so cared for and respected. He gave amazing feedback. Do the work, out in effort, get a great grade.
