Honestly shes a decent professor. She talks a lot and its kinda difficult to stay engaged in class. BUT my main point is DO NOT take this class if you are easily triggered by graphic content (SA, racism, etc). I found this out on the first day of class and by that point all other class options were full. so just be warned-- its graphic af

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.

I spent my time doing the important readings and I watched parts of lecture just for more context. Weekly assignments that require peer reviews, a midterm paper which was 3 short essay questions, and one final long essay. Two small EC opportunities. Not hard to get an A, just a lot of work.

If you're taking her for online, just don't. I'm sure shes a good prof in person but she has seriously failed to adapt to online teaching. Def the worst online experience I've had so far. Awful communicator with super confusing deadlines and instructions. Syllabus was just wrong. Peer reviews mandatory every week. Ungodly amount of reading. 2/10

She's actually the greatest. I really loved her class, she made it super interesting and helped the readings make a lot of sense. Go to class and she'll basically tell you everything you need to know about the readings. Reading isn't necessary but it helps, I suggest SparkNotes if you hate reading. She's easy to talk to and really helpful. Easy A.
