Only graded on weekly quizzes (get 2 attempts), midterm, and final - midterm and final questions pulled from quizzes. Everything is straight from the assigned weekly readings (which were pretty light) and lectures. Welter made a boring subject interesting and I would recommend taking this class with him if given the opportunity.

Great professor. Pay attention to lectures and you'll get a good grade. Super interesting and you can tell he's passionate about the subject.

Yes, there are weekly responses but you got pass grade once you have done this assignment. Clear lectures (with a German accent though ), great feedback, care for every student. Would take any class with him!

Great architecture and great lectures. Passionate professor. He is easy to understand. Heavy memorization. Harsh grader. Finals are essays.

The professor made the subject matter more interesting than I originally thought, but he's a really harsh grader and very specific with his grading criteria. For example, he makes you include detailed citations on the final that you have to memorize beforehand. Also a lot of work with weekly mini essays, 2 larger papers, and a written final.

Professor 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...
