Comment:

OK. MS. WEAVER POORLY EXPLAINS HER NOTES AND PROVIDES THE WEIRDEST MOST COMPLEX EXAMPLES IN HER TEACHING. SHE DOES NOT REVIEW WITH YOU WHAT IS ON YOUR TESTS SHE DOES NOT TELL YOU WHAT IS ON YOUR TESTS. DON'T EXPECT ANY HELP AND DON'T EXPECT TO DO WELL. VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR SUCH AN INTERESTING CLASS TO BE TAUGHT BY HER. DON'T EVEN TRY TO TAKE IT.

Easy class. Tests are directly out of the text book. So If you read and study the book you will get an A for sure.

Exams are multiple choice and is directly from the text book. One group project is included. Very interesting instructor but her lectures are not related to the exams.

Comment:

NEVER TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER. She doesn't elaborate on any assignments, she makes the simple things confusing, she focuses more on herself rather than the importance of learning. I had to have her correct my assignment and test grades many times. She wasn't a very nice person and our whole class would agree.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. She's all over the place when she lectures and it's very hard to follow her. She goes on side tangents all the time and gets off subject easily. She said she would drop our lowest test grade and give us extra credit is we did all the projects, but didn't drop the lowest grade AND didn't put in the extra credit points at all.

Comment:

Her tests are easy, straight from the book. Hard to understand her mumbling and goes off-topic sometimes. Don't take notes in class. You don't have to show up to class, just read the book. She's unorganized and tells you stuff at the last minute. If you get an A on each test, she exempts you from the final (she tells you the day before the final).

Comment:

Interesting teacher. She tells tons of stories. I laughed every class! Sometimes you wonder how the stories relate to the topics. I often found myself asking what I learned in class. Gets off topic with stories sometimes. Does not cover all the chapters in class assigned for the test. Does not use powerpoint only whiteboard. Class may get boring.

I think she is interesting. She tels storys that make me remember what she talks about and if you read the text books you should do fine. She's also very approachable.

Dr. Weaver is crazy! I always come out of class with a story. Most of her test questions are from the book but I primarily studied from her notes and do pretty well on. Just pay attention sometimes her craziness is for a reason.

Comment:

Dr. Weaver can be fun to listen to, but is consistently so erratic and off topic that she her lectures do more harm that good. You can disregard her classes, and take your own notes out of the book. The tests are all straight out of the review questions in the book. Do your best to memorize those, and you'll be fine.

She is so smart its crazy, but she does go off topic in class a lot. All around awesome teacher, 1 group project and 1 individual project required in class. She dropped 2 exams and if your grades were high enough you could skip the final.Extra credit points offered w/each exam.Grades on a curve. Would most def take her again,so interesting and fun!

If you want an A in this class, study the textbook thoroughly for tests and you will do fine. Lady is crazy (she claims she can levitate) but class is easy as long as you study hard for tests.

Comment:

I find her hard to understand when she is lecturing and not facing me. Although, she can be hilarious when I can actually read her lips and someone asks what she said. Her lecture is going a million directions and is hard to follow. She spends too much time going over the same things because she forgets what she says talking about too many things

Comment:

Yes, Ms. Weaver is all over the place, but most of the time she is pretty funny. Her PY-101 class is easy and I have definitely learned a lot. Students who are going to take her class should read every chapter assigned. Her tests are multiple choice and come straight from the book. No homework and only four projects, which are also easy.

To pass this class with an A or B, do NOT take notes during class, just read the text book. Everything on her tests are right from the reading. Her notes are very scattered and useless anyway.

Comment:

Had a great time in her class (when I attended), attending is not mandatory and you don't miss anything if you don't come for awhile. Just read the book and you'll be good to go! She doesn't have a website up, so you can't check grades; but that's ok because she never grades anything in a timely manner. Also, she's kinda scatterbrained lol.
