I had Dr Weiss in 1979 & again in 1982. I still remember much of what I learned about the History of Revolution & the Middle East. Excellent perspective taught

i dont know what professor you people had that was so amazing but that surely isnt the bernard j weiss we know. dont expect any notes, have your questions heard or answered, or expect to learn anything. if you are scheduled with this idiot, go talk to your advisor. im currently doing better in ochem and cell & molecular bio than freaking history.

Comment:

Maybe he was a good teacher b/f he got tenure, but I had him recently and he was horrible. Didn't care about the class, went off on long tangents about movies, screwed up ppl's test dates for the final, and made us write a paper he didn't even read. Even tho the class is easy if you study the terms he gives you, don't expect to learn anything.

Comment:

so easy to get an A with minimal effort. Gives a study guide with all the terms on the test a few days before the test. Class is a bit boring after a while, so i got other studying done while listening to his lecture. he is a really funny guy too and if you pay attention he knows his stuff and you will learn a lot without realizing it!

Comment:

I was told before the class that he was easy and ALWAYS gave a study guide with everything for the test. After telling us the week before the test that we would get a study guide, he decided that he wasn't going to give us one! We were left to study 9 chapters in 2 days! His lectures put me to sleep and don't expect him to answer your questions.

I hated this class. I would not recommend him to anyone nor would I take any of his classes again. He is extremely boring to listen to, his lectures have no structure, but he knows his information.

Didn't need to read the textbook. Tests were easy if you studied the guides. Classes got boring after a while, but he is a fun guy.
