Prof Weber was so caring and informative. I would definitely recommend doing the readings if you want to stay engaged during lecture and if you want to do well in the class (grade is mostly from an in class essay for the midterm, an 1800 word paper, and final all concerning readings/lectures). Everything we learned was fascinating. I recommend!

The “study guides” you receive in this class literally say “know everything in the readings and everything on the slides and everything I talked about in class.” No guidance whatsoever. Also, for a media class where things have changed exponentially in the past decade, you should use materials that have current statistics.

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.
