Comment:
I have to say if it is a simple course just for material on the book. But he makes it much more difficult. His lecture is ok. But his homework neither strongly related to the lecture or book nor clear enough to understand what the question means. I dont think his homework is helpful at all.

Comment:
Weaver gets a bad rep, but the fact of the matter is, electronic properties of materials is a difficult subject. Weaver is a good teacher, hard subject, hard exams, not the friendliest curve. Use the office hours because the TA's were very helpful and DON'T FALL BEHIND or you are screwed.

This is a really difficult class and moves very quickly. Although he is a nice guy, Weaver sometimes laughs when we complain how hard the class is. He also lies about not having quizzes. Have fun :)

Comment:
This class is meant to use your math skills so expect to use calculus a lot. The class moves quickly and he goes through a lot of information. The tests are loooooong. Following the homework as a guide and reviewing notes should give you success of a B average on the exams.

Comment:
He talks really fast and it is hard to follow what is going on. Tests are fair for the most part. He is a goo teacher but extra work on your own is needed to get a good grade. Grading scale is very fair. Looks a little like Tony LaRussa.

I hate this class! He was so unclear and I don't think he knows how to talk to in normal terms; only weird messed up engineering lingo. Beware, you will be quite frustrated!!
