COMM154 . Weber R 20 Days Ago

Weber is a very nice guy, but this was a mediocre class. Grade relied on 4 things, midterm, final, mock trial, and paper, with the midterm average being 77%. The first half of the class focusing on video game history and the second focusing on video game addiction. Would I take him again? Maybe. Would I take the class again? No.

Prof Weber is so sweet and really cares about his students. But I do NOT recommend this class for those who do not care enough about video games. If you're passionate about this topic I'm sure you'll find it interesting. The mock trial was poorly managed and the two MC exams covered so much content though the final wasn't cumulative.

Dr. Weber is the best prof i've ever had! He is extremely knowledgeable and cares a ton about his students. No mandatory attendance but I still attended every class because it was fun and interesting. Grade was 2 tests and 1 paper, he provided study guides. Overall an amazing class and an amazing prof. Highly recommend!

Class graded on midterm final and mock trial. The mock trial was so poorly managed and organized. Roles are not equal. The midterm was based on SO much information and the most random things. Would not reccomend.

COMM87 . Weber R 2 Months Ago

Horrible teaching methods, it was so hard to learn math ONLY through verbal lectures. rarely ever used whiteboard so you never got a visual, very impatient when students had questions. only learned in my section, so going to lecture was pointless. does not curve tests and then proceeded to complain about how bad his reviews are on here???

Took a very interesting 3 week class with Weber. Hes insanely passionate about the subject, which made it motivating for me. I really enjoyed this class, and wish it was longer because it felt rushed, but if you want to truly learn id recommend this prof.
