He's a good prof, very passionate about the subject, and cares about his students. He posts his lectures online, so it is easily accessible. The grade is made up of two exams and two debates and there's extra credit if you do sona. Even if you do bad on an exam, you can still get a pretty decent grade overall as the class is point based!

He will test you the specific numbers and years which definitely are meaningless. Lectures are boring. I don't like him.

Dr. Weber is very knowledgable and respected in the Neuroscience field. I only went to the first 3 lecturers and got an A- on the midterm. 90% of the questions come from PP he puts in Gauchospace. The paper is fairly easy as well.

I took 2 summer comm classes with Dr. Weber, and he was overall a meh to mediocre professor. He goes off on tangents A LOT, and I expected to get more lecture on the MATERIAL, not his OPINIONS. He is not very good at answering student questions and comes off as condescending and judgmental. 1 MT, 1 Final, all based on lecture slides.

Professor Weber has been one of my favorite professor in the Comm department! He is good at connecting with students and his lectures make him seem like a normal guy, despite all his knowledge - seriously, he has a Ph.D. & M.D. His summer class was great and not too hard, he gave quite a bit of points for just coming to class. Highly recommend

This class was hard to understand at times because of his accent but after a while you could clearly understand him. There was one midterm and one final with some multiple choice (true or false) and some written problems. The class is also curved so it only benefits some people and hurts others.

Weber is a great guy. He is very helpful when you might be lost or confused. However, I realized I relied mainly on section to learn the material. The TAs were phenomenal and extremely helpful. Math isn't my strong suit so this was a pretty difficult course for me.

Took both of his 3 week summer courses session G, and this guy is a real G, he's cooler then you'll ever be. Super qualified and intelligent, super nice guy as well. Really enthusiastic about his material and a trailblazer in his field. GO TO CLASS AND GET PARTICIPATION CREDIT. Final and midterm aren't too bad.

Very long-winded, it's hard to stay focused in his class. He's a knowledgeable and nice teacher, but it was just really hard for me to pay attention to his lengthy lectures. He goes off on tangents a lot too. His slides are similarly lengthy, small paragraphs instead of bullet points. I like him as a person and scholar... but as a lecturer, ehh

I absolutely LOVE Weber! He loves teaching and its evident by the way he's in the classroom. Always there to help and VERY understanding. Come to class and do the readings GOLDEN. Seriously love this guy and will miss having him after i graduate.

Weber is my favorite professor at UCSB! He is super nice and helpful. Took his summer session class and he made it bearable and fun. Tests are based on slides which are not that hard. Take his class if you're a comm major!

Pretty easy class and his curve helps a lot. Material does get harder after the midterm but still not bad and I'm terrible at math. Final is easier than the midterm only because of the time. Got an A- with not much effort.

He was such a sweet guy and he made statistics easy for me and I am not a math person. He lets you use the textbook and notes on the tests which is awesome. If you have to take a stats class, take this instead of PSTAT. Not a comm major but it was still relevant.

this class is wayyy easier than I thought, that doesn't mean you shouldn't study though. Weber is a nice professor who cares a lot about his students well-being. And his interaction with students is also interesting.

I just finished his class over summer. Didn't open the book once and used the slides for the study guides. Came out with a b+. definitely suggest taking this course if you want an easy a.

The material gets hard as hell after the midterm and his lectures become hard to follow from there on. However he's a super nice guy and there are no surprises whatsoever on his tests. You must do the HW and utilize Weber or your TA for all the help possible if you're not good at math and need to pass this class (Precomm majors - this means you!)

I love Prof. Weber! He is super smart but the same time a super sweet helpful professor. Im horrible at anything thats related to math but he encouraged me and was very helpful in many ways. the class itself is a bit hard for me, since Im pretty much math-retarded, however its a fair class to take for math/science GE.

Entertaining guy and the material is pretty interesting. The tests are focused on the slides (which are online) so the substantial amount of reading isn't too much of a problem. 10pg paper and a 6pg paper so there is a fair amount of writing but both boosted my grade. Midterm and a final... both are mc and fairly common sense if you attend lecture

His accent is so strong and translations are a bit confusing at times. However, Weber is so nice and his class is very straightforward/simple that you shouldn't have much trouble getting an A. The grading scale is very liberal.

Great professor...took him for 3wk summer course.. I was a little nervous about taking a fast past course but he is extremely helpful...Also great during office hrs..easy to get an A-->attend lectures & rd the text (easy rding) quick review night before & you'll be fine...But attendance does count as he takes role everyday out loud

Prof. Weber ROCKS! He loves what he does and it really shows through his teaching style. You must take one of his classes before you graduate! His German accent adds to his appeal!

Quite a good instructor! i'm not going to deny it, Stats wasn't my thing, but Prof. Wedber made it comprehensible. Everyone in my Sorority told me that I would enjoy the class...I just didn't believe that I would enjoy Stats! Getting a private hour of tutoring every so often really helped me on the mid-term and the Fianl. Prof. Weber, you Rule!!!!

I didn't learn much but the class is easy to pass if you do all the hw, go to section and prepare notes for the open book/note midterm and final. Highly recommend taking class w/ him NOT METZGER. (took w/ Metzger and got a D+, took again w/ Weber and got a B with the same amount of effort. And his accent is entertaining.

i took his class last summer--he has a slightly thick accent but if you can get through it, his teaching style makes learning easy to understand. and to top it off, he has a HUGE grading scale curve so its not hard to pull off a good grade in the class.
