ARTHI136Y . Welter V W 5 Years Ago

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. He is a clear and knowledgeable lecturer. We had weekly writing assignments that were hard to get a feel of the first few weeks but got more clear as the quarter went on. He also gives good feedback to help you improve your writing.

Professor Welter is so great! Im shocked he doesnt have higher reviews. Ive had multiple classes with him and hes amazing. His lectures are very thoughtfully put together and I have learned a lot from him. The work load is really not that bad unless its for a GE.

ARTHI136O . Welter V W 8 Months Ago

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...

Professor Welter is really funny and his lectures are pretty interesting if you like Architecture. His class was super easy, consisting of weekly quizzes and 2 midterms. All of the questions from the midterms came directly from the quizzes, so make sure to write those answers down.

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.
