Fantastic professor! Very nice and helpful. Studying for the exams is necessary and you need to put effort into writing the papers, but he is willing to help you in any way. He shows a lot of good videos and makes the class interesting, too.

Comment:

Dr. Weber is a great professor! He is clear in his lectures and is very understanding and willing to help students. Papers and assignments are reasonable and easy. As others have mentioned, he is a little quirky. He wears clashing shirts and ties and tells corny jokes but I thought it was endearing. Take Dr. Weber if you want to learn!

Comment:

If you want an easy class don't take this one! Requires 20hr volunteer work, lots of easy 2 pg papers but grades hard, depends on his mood! Then if you ask him he will tell you not to worry about it. Multi people in the class complained about his grading and he made a comment that he doesn't give 100% on his papers. He is very nice but so unclear!

Comment:

Took his online class he is very helpful and responds quickly to emails. Four papers through out the semester only 3-5 pages each. The final was only a two page paper on a book that we had to read and relate it to sociology. He cares about his student I would recommend taking him for sociology of writing.

Comment:

Must do a 20 hour service-learning project, three interviews, post and reply to three other classmates online, do a book report, and type all assignments in essay format. You need at least a 94% to get an "A". No extra credit. Exam reviews do not mirror the exams. He goes out of his way to lower the amount of As in his course to fit the bell curve.

Comment:

This guy is probably one of my favorite professors this semester. He has an odd sense of humor though, but you get used to him laughing at himself. He is extremely thorough in each theory and he tries to involve the class as much as possible. Unfortunately, I was in a very shy class so we didn't have too many interesting discussions. Take him!

Comment:

Professor is NOT clear on what he wants on discussion board - than he gives students a bad grade even though it should be based on students' opinions. When you confront him about your grade - he doesn't care and change it even though discussion board is subjective. VERY UNFAIR grader.

Comment:

Holy poo was this class boring, however it was REALLY easy. A pointless class in I think. It's mostly based on opinion and no fact what-so-ever which I liked, but it did not encourage me to study at all. I read a total of 1 page, the first page of chapter 1 and got an A. Just skim through his PPs before the test and you'll get an A.

Comment:

I wasn't really interested in the class, but it was WEB and an upper level elective. The assignments made the class interesting. I wouldnt say it was easy, although you are given a pretty thorough study guide for exams. But it isn't a super hard class. Just don't skip anything and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Dr. Weber has his pets and you gotta talk about what he wants from his perspective. He says inappropriate comments such as :why don't you take nap: when you inquire about a grade and he never gives your straight feedback.

He's not difficult is you study, but something is weird about him. He favors certain students and his buddies all get A's.

Comment:

i took him for 2 different classes.he used to be very easy but is getting harder as he realizes he gives too many A's.Even if your grade is borderline and you were never absent he will not give you the higher grade! dont take his class lightly.
