CollegeI 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.
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!!!!
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 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!!!!!
