Very kind and passionate despite what people say, not conceited or pretentious at all! Very approachable as well. Quizzes were online and based on lecture slides/readings and final/midterm based on these quizzes. His lectures were interesting for a non major as well.

Professor Welter is a Professor I have extreme respect and admiration for. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about architecture, really tries to get students to engage with the subject in a critical/philosophical manner, and seems to really appreciate students ideas and work. Always a pleasure to take one of his classes!

He does not make you forget that he's German, It may get annoying. Highly opinionated. For essays he's very much a harsh grader. Grammar must be perfect. Highly engaging lectures if you are into architecture. Funny sometimes.

Very condescending and makes you feel dumb for trying to contribute, but if you dont speak up, he assumes you didnt do the reading. No win. Be prepared to leave class embarrassed overwhelmed and worthless. Expect a ton of work and for it to be graded harshly.

Very hard class, all the teacher does it lecture. I took it as an elective but it was a lot of work. Quizzes are hard, Midterm and Final are in class essays that you need to prepare a lot for, it's a lot of information. I wouldn't take it unless you need it.

I would not consider this an easy class at all, unless you are an architecture major which I am not. It's interesting content, but he expects you to really pay attention to lecture and write down everything he says, meaning you really can't skip class at all. He is funny and nice to listen to but extremely old fashioned. In class essay exams!!!!!
