I love David Weiss for Lit Con. We covered meter & many other topics in writing. It was a great creative introduction to literature and the professor was enthusiastic about the material, and I could sense his passion

Comment:

Professor Weiss is very intelligent, and it's inspiring the way he can talk about a certain poem for an hour and still have beautiful things to say. However, his assignments are unclear at best and are often returned with a slew of criticisms. He's a cool academic, but not the best professor.

Comment:

Great teacher, I thought class would be dull, but instead it was my favorite so far. Weiss is always willing to help, the class is interactive... we sit in a circle and talk. Reading assignments are interesting and he admits if they're not. Very fair. No tests. Just a few papers.
