I really Enjoyed Professor Welters class. He is very passionate about his teachings and he is very kind with a sense of humor. His class is pretty easy as long as you pay attention to the lectures and do the readings. Weekly quizzes along with 1 Midterm and 1 Final. Midterm and Final are questions pulled from the quizzes.

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.

Super nice forgiving prof. Class is a lot of work because it's an honors seminar and the topics are pretty niche but I found it to be really interesting. The work itself is super simple, just sometimes the reading are hard to understand because of the foreign writing. Grade is based pretty much just on participation so SHOW UP!!!!
