My all time favorite class that I've taken here. The prof was so nice and her lectures were easy to understand and interesting. I enjoyed the different texts that we were assigned to read each week and I found the papers and homework assignments to be really interesting and easy.

I could've failed this class but Professor Weber did not let me. She was really helpful and even extended deadline dates for me( she saw that I was actually participating in class). The class is writing heavy but if you enjoy analysis papers then you would like this class. Overall great professor and actually care about whether you pass or fail.

This honors seminar was super interesting and personally impactful! Prof Weber successfully led students through the art of advocacy for imprisoned scholars and offered support and creative ideas the whole way through. Though the online format was difficult at some times, I had a lot of takeaways from this seminar. I would recommend it to others!
