Comment:

This is the second online class I've taken with this professor, and it's perfect if you are good at self-pacing, because there are no reminders about due dates, etc. However, the assignments are straightforward and questions are answered quickly. It's easy to get a good grade as long as you put in the required work.

Comment:

Three words: open-book tests!! Don't think that automatically guarantees an A, because you still have to apply the material. Still, this made a law class much less daunting. The professor also responds to email quickly, which is always a great thing. Would take again.

Professor Weinberg is awesome. His online classes are very straight forward. Do 5 case briefs and 4 exams. Exams are open note and open book in the testing center. Print the case briefs and notes he has posted online for the test. He is very quick to respond via email. Definitely take his online classes. Easy A if you do the work.

Professor is so funny. Class is long, and you have to take a lot of notes, but the notes are so helpful during the exam. The exams are open note, open computer, open anything. The book is expensive but a must have! Over all pretty easy class

Best online course! Prof Weinberg is very clear about what needs to be accomplished. No due dates! Just complete assignments/tests at your own pace. The tests aren't very difficult considering they are open book. The entire course can be completed in less than 9 hours.

Cool dude! Makes two hour long lectures bearable. Don't challenge him; he'll shut you down. Be careful though, exams are a little more specific than you may expect.

He is a very good teacher. He is knowledgable about the material and brings in example for the media and stuff that is going on around Pittsburgh. He is a funny guy and little hearted. I would definitely take him again. Also, both tests are open book.

Comment:

I went to class only twice and ended up with a c because I didn't have enough time to finish the final. :( There's only two tests and they're both open book. Weinberg's pretty nice but I found lecture too boring and long to attend.

Tests are specific and detailed, but you're allowed to have your notes and book with you, so it's an easy A for just about anybody. He keeps lectures interesting, which is impressive given it's a 2.5 hour class.

Really fun professor. He lectured for two hours straigh, and he tried to be as interesting as a person can be for two whole hours. His tests are straightforward.. if you are prepared/organized, keep up with the material, and go to class, you'll get an A.

awesome teacher, i would take him again in a heartbeat; 2 exams open book and no final; teacher makes a very comfortable environment, has a very good sense of humor, is open to stories and class discussion; make sure you know the cases for the exams and that you read before; he mainly goes through the textbook during class, no petty assignments.

Comment:

This man is one of the greats. He conveys very complex ideas in an extremely clear fashion. Every class has its share of humorous moments (I don't find much funny, but this guy had me cracking up many times). Attend class as he takes role. Take organized notes, and the tests should be a breeze. Open note/book exams! Take this course!
