Comment:

I had Dr. Weiss several times during my time at RU. His expectations are reasonable and his classes are interesting, but he does not suffer fools. If you are lazy, can't take constructive criticism, or you are full of excuses you should avoid him. But if you are actually interested in learning and getting better at writing, he's your guy!

He's the best professor any student could have and if you've missed having him in your academic career you have truly been cheated. Dr. Weiss is an excellent professor and very wise man. He has all the props I can possibly give him.

Comment:

He's a lot better this semester than when I first had him. I think it's b/c he is retiring, but it's a good thing. He's not as much of an ****. I just hope he doesn't read this b/c if he does, he will realize people are not as afraid of him anymore and that may hurt his feelings. But, I think he's great. Really.

Comment:

The epitomy of arrogance, and the reason I am no longer an english major. His approach is cold, and it is reflected in his personality. This man is a NAZZI. I make a's and b's..struggled to keep a solid D..had to drop his class. Asks you to maintain extremely tedious details in the reading. TAKE HIM TWICE WEISS.

Interesting class, fabulous professor. There isn't anyone there that is as knowledgble as he is. He's got high expectations, but if you do the work and try, you should do alright.

Take him twice Weiss is his nick-name, and he knows it. He may even say so. If you are not smart, and do not work, you will not pass. If you are smart and do work, you likely won't know how well you are really doing till grades come out.

Comment:

I'm an A student, I do my work. I simply asked a question b/c I misunderstood him. He tries to kick me out, then when I say that I have done the reading he does not believe me and interrogates me. I am no good at interrogations and my mind went blank. I think he likes publicly humiliating ppl.

Comment:

I think Alex is great, but if you're a slacker undergrad taking one of his classes, you'll probably hate him b/c he actually expects people to take the time to do assignments and not slack off. What a concept.....

I took a night class having something to do with Lit. and the movies. I worked really hard and got a B. I always make A's. He's called Take it TWICE WEISS for a reason.
