Comment:

He was a jerk. Had favorites, which he chose the first day of class and if you are not in that group he occasionally pokes fun at you for not knowing an answer and humiliates you in front of everyone. Says you are making up stuff too, and humiliates you in that manner also. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS, he can HURT you if you are sensitive!

Has an insulting way of teaching. Makes fun of students for not understanding material. Not reliable out side of class. Never take his class ever.

Easy to understand, easy to excel. Gives extra credit questions on tests. If you can pay attention the whole period, you don't need to do the homework.

He is very helpful and will help you with any question you have, he wants you to understand and pass his class. Test aren't too bad and he is a fair grader.

Comment:

Often put students down for asking questions, tests were somewhat dificult, but if you study at all you shoul dbe ok. if you can stand him, its not that bad. He wasnt very helpful inside or out of class. Vague and somewhat awful. Would never take again.

Comment:

He's a nice guy, and will try his best to pass you if you show effort, but he just cant teach. He goes rediculously fast in spots, painfully slow in others, and has all his notes on overheads which he changes out b4 you finish writing. A decent prof to take but you'll wind up learning most of everything from the book. Does help in office hours.

Comment:

This prof knows what he is doing but doesn't know how to explain all the points to the class clearly. He has a different way of doing math than the book. He also speaks to the class as if everyone is five years old. Another downside is that his tests are pretty much harder than the AP test itself. WORD OF ADVICE:Do the review, but it won't help you

Comment:

He was a horrible teacher. You must avoid him if you can. His exams are hard because they have tricky questions. He comes off as a very approachable guy, but beware. Gives you problems from the book to study yet none of them relates to the probs on the exams. He'll try to help you during the office hour, but still doesn't help. Goes WAY too fast!

I thought Weiss was a great prof. He explained exactly how to do the homework consistently, day after day, and is extremely helpful if you take the time to see him during office hours.

Comment:

I took calculus in high school and his class was great for more in depth understanding. However, I would not recommend his class for students who have never had calculus before, it's just too many picky things to remember when just learning the basics for the first time.

Comment:

I think his teaching style is good. You actually learn the stuff he teaches. Thats the good thing. The bad thing is he sometimes goes really fast in class. My suggestion is that if you had calc in high school, take him. Keep up on your homework. Some of the test problems are right off the homework or review. Good Professor overall.

Comment:

I've had worse math teachers in the past. I really don't understand all of the bad ratings here. If you do your homework EVERY DAY, ask questions, and do well on the tests, you should be fine. His tests aren't particularly hard, if you know what you are doing.

Comment:

it was Precalc and that was easy but he is a great teacher, lectures and notes are helpful, tests are not difficult if you study your notes and the weekly quizes...he wants everyone to do well but had no curve, you have to earn your grade but it is not hared to do with old fashioned hard work and study.

This professor is awesome. I'd love to take him for every math class I have to take at Kettering. His lectures are very clear and he's always willing to help.
