I love him! I'd smash. Don't disagree with him unless you have points to back it up because he has 5 research projects, 10 essays, and 50 points for his opinions. His lectures are amazing and he gets really into class. He brings awareness to a lot of problems. He doesn't care if you show up or not, but you defiantly should AMAZING HARMONICA PLAYER

Comment:

Professor Zollweg is very passionate about what he teaches and opened my eyes to major issues. His class is easy, only 3 tests and a workbook. You occasionally need to do readings but other than that there is little outside class work. He is very funny and time goes by fast. Take him!

If you have a chance to take this professor, TAKE HIM! Easily most interesting class I have taken thus far at UWL. 2 random in class essays on a certain reading otherwise only 3 tests, no final and all the tests are ONLINE! Easy A, very interesting and never a dull moment will Zollweg. He is the man.

Really funny professor, he puts sociological terms into examples that are easy to understand. You will have a really good understanding just from showing up to class.

Dr. Zollweg is an AMAZING teacher. He knows what he's talking about and makes it easy to understand. The class is fun to go to (even at 9:55). He's the only professor I've ever used for office hours!

The best class and professor I have ever had, bar none. Every thing done in class is to make you think, even things some find inappropriate. Those are just to make you think more about what is being taught. Great Prof.

Comment:

Very opinionated and rude. Spends the first two days talking about himself and his accomplishments in life. Not clear at all, doesn't tell you when a test is until a couple days prior. Dr. Zollweg thinks he is the smartest man in the room, and doesn't like to be challenged. DO NOT TAKE!

Dr. Zollweg is the best professor I have had at UW-L! Lectures were always interesting and I found myself wanting to go to class vs. dreading it. His exams were all online & fair (no finals.) He’s a professor that cares what students have to say and is very approachable. He gave me a lot of confidence as a student to succeed, take him if you can!

Comment:

Very opinionated! Lectures were very interesting and you need to go to them and write down everything he says in order to pass the tests. 3 online open note tests, a workbook, and no final. Participation points were worth many points so visit his office hours and talk to him! Very approachable outside of class as well.

I needed to take this class for a gen ed. He is very inappropriate during class. It was also hard for me to learn because there is no textbook to use. Lots of random things on his tests. Avoid him if you can. I worked really hard and only earned a BC.

He's a nice guy. A lot of points are related to participation and work book. All tests are online, no final. However, tests are pretty difficult. Have to write down anything he says in lecture.

Comment:

He is very opinionated however he really is passionate about his class. I learned things that changed my perspective on a lot of things. You only have 1 workbook that is due at the end of semester and 3 online exams that are open notes. Honestly take him because I learned alot and it was an easy class (still have to work to get an A)

He is a really cool guy, but I hate his exams. There are always spelling and grammar errors and they are completely unclear. He's radical in his beliefs, which is fun to an extent.

Comment:

Easiest class to take. You need to go to lecture and absorb the ideas he is talking about to be able to pass with flying colors. Sometimes I forget that I have this class because there is little outside of class work. I would recommend if you have a heavy schedule but need the course.

Comment:

The absolute best professor and class I have ever taken! He has really opened my eyes to how society works. Everyone who has something negative to say about him need to be more open minded. Sure the guy is opinionated but he has every right to be! I enjoyed his class so much and really learned a lot. TAKE HIM!
