Comment:

I took it online and it was pretty easy. although every test you take you have 2 parts. one multiple choice and one written. multiple choice is easy but the written portion is difficult. he is an easy grader at first but at the end it gets tougher. You only have 6 tests and the final is a one page paper comparing two religions.

Comment:

He is a very intelligent man who could be a very good teacher, but he presumes all the new students coming into the intro course are geniuses and moves at a ridiculous pace, not waiting or caring if everyone is understanding the material. No homework, test and pop quiz heavy. First couple tests are extremely difficult to scare people into dropping.

Comment:

He makes no sense during lectures and talks the entire time. the study guides he gives you for exams do not relate to what is on the test and he very rarely values your input during class lectures. very mono-toned and many people struggle with this class.

Comment:

Besides doing a lot of examples on the computer and worksheets, don't expect to learn anything from him. When asked to give informal logic examples to help internalize formal logic, hesitates to do so or doesn't do it at all. When you ask him for examples or informal definitions he recites facts and definitions as if he is a living book. DONT TAKE.

No actual work is given. All you do is read and take a test once every couple of weeks. Final paper and scripture paper are the only two papers to write. The tests aren't necessarily hard, just time consuming. I would recommend this class/instructor. (online)

Comment:

We had a lot of class discussion. Prof. Weber clearly was against Christianity. His tests were tough, but he gave fairly extensive study guides that were helpful. He also allowed extra credit. We had a few papers to write and a group project. Overall, this was a class that took work, but not necessarily a difficult one.

Comment:

If you don't take this class online, you're an idiot. This class was so easy. I have a couple more weeks of it, and all we have done is take tests (copy and paste questions into google and can find most every answer easily). There are short answer questions, but you can find those decently in the book. Paper for final. That is all!

Comment:

The professor was good, however the content learned in this class is rather hard to comprehend and understand. Big vocabulary is used in the books and by the professor, making it extremely difficult to study content. I wish I had taken regular philosophy instead of medical ethics.

He expects everyone to be philosophy majors. I sure wish I'd taken this class online so the tests wouldn't have been so hard.

Comment:

Online class is a joke. Easiest A EVER. The tests are questions word 4 word from Google. I completed them all with like 20 minutes to spare and 100%. You get 2 tries on the tests. You don't have to read anything. The written part for the tests isnt timed, just turn it in a Word doc and you can skim the chapters for the answers :) DO IT ONLINE!!!

Comment:

Medical Ethics wasn't bad. All there are are a few quizzes and three analysis essays. One thing that bothered me was that Weber spent a whole class trying to prove that the Bible and religion are false, which has nothing to do with medical ethics class.

Comment:

I took this course online. Very easy if you read the textbook and can understand it on your own. Waste of time if you are actually interested in religions. Zero class participation. Says he will give extra credit for good discussion board posts, but he never participated and it was impossible to start a discussion because no one responds.

Comment:

Took the class online. Manageable amount of work and easily got an A in the class. Of course, I did all the required reading. I did practice tests online that helped prepare me for the tests. I do have strong religious beliefs, so taking the class online helped me to not feel as challenged about my beliefs.

I didn't like this class at all and he didn't make it any better. He's very hard and doesn't explain the material very well!

Comment:

Comp Relig: need a big vocab to keep up. Slightly condescending so don't take if you are a strong believer in one religion or you will be offended. didn't seem like we ever really covered the content until the day before the test. Nice guy, but rambles aimlessly a lot. didn't keep control of the class very well.

had him for comparative religions. even though i did not have much interest in the class, i still went and paid attention. he did not seem like he cared much about the class. he assigned huge sections to read and then insane tests. he never replied to my emails and never could answer my questions, horrible experience in his class.

Comment:

Very nice teacher, although the subject matter is very hard. He tries making the class fun and I really did enjoy coming to class. The material is difficult to understand, but he grades fairly easy. There are test grades, 3 papers and one debate which all contribute to your final grade. Overall, he was a good teacher.

Fun teacher, likes to make jokes and get along with his class. Grades easy- not an easy class by any means- and not the best teacher, but if you have to take Logic I would take Weber

I loved this class. Dr. Weber is a great teacher. He expects respect and he will return it. I attended every class and did great on the quizes. I never opened the book unless we did it in class. He is helpful and understanding. He tries to make the class fun by joking and keeping the class engaged. I had him for Medical Ethics

I had this teacher for Medical Ethics and I found the class very interesting, and if you pay attention, take notes, and at least skim read the chapters you will do fine!!
