CollegeProfessor Welter is a delightful lecturer and has a good sense of humor. He's always very clear about class expectations and it's easy to do well on weekly quizzes if you pay attention to the readings and his presentations. Attendance wasn't mandatory this year but he said he'd change that next time because so few students showed up...
Professor Welter is really funny and his lectures are pretty interesting if you like Architecture. His class was super easy, consisting of weekly quizzes and 2 midterms. All of the questions from the midterms came directly from the quizzes, so make sure to write those answers down.
I loved Professor Welter. He was very passionate about the class material. The course was well organized and expectations were clear. Weekly readings and quizzes that could be taken twice for full credit on Canvas.
Professor Welter is a great lecturer and makes the class really easy to understand. I am by no means an art history major, but I found the content interesting and was able to be relatively successful in this class. Professor Welter is very passionate about architecture, and it really shows in this class.
Professor Welter is very thoughtful and articulate in his lectures. Not hard to do well on weekly quizzes if you take notes on the readings and lectures are very clear and easy to follow.
One of my favorite professors on campus, I would take any class with him. Since its an ES/AH class, much less architecture demanding with things like memorizing names and locations, but rather that you understand the concept. Do the quizes and readings every week and you'll do fine. Go to office hours and its a guaranteed grade boost by a letter.
