The class was pretty interesting but Professor Weber, while a nice guy, is not a good lecturer. One day he spent an hour and 15 minutes on one slide. Most of his lectures aren't very helpful. The tests are pretty hard even though the material is not difficult to understand. Your grade consists of a midterm, final, paper, and debate attendance.

This course is compromised of three grades; a midterm, a final, and a debate paper. He reads off the lecture slides which are also posted on canvas. He's a really nice professor, however the fact that your grade is based off of only three assignments was stressful.

One group project, one solo project, and one test. These are the only items in your grade book. The lectures do go on for a long time, sometimes more than necessary, but all of the material will be on the final exam at the end of the quarter.

This review isn't the most helpful as I dropped the class halfway through (the day before the final deadline). However, Professor Weber has to be the worst teacher I have had at UCSB in my four years here. The lectures are boring and dated. His accent makes it difficult to understand and he goes on tangents like no other. No one pays attention.

Professor requires you to buy the textbook for $170 or $90 for the pdf version. He tells students that there is nothing he can do, but he is the one who wrote the textbook and chooses the text for the class. Very confusing lectures and does not explain the concepts as well as the TA. Shoutout to the TA or else no one would get through the class.

Professor Weber is definitely very kind and understanding, however I felt that he didn't convey the material and concepts very clearly. It was hard to understand at times -if you have no prior experience with statistics this class will be challenging for you. However, if you work and study hard on your own it's manageable.

2 tests and one debate. debate is easy but like 10 pages. nothing can really prepare you will for the tests and studying for them requires studying everything. lots of info in every lecture and even more in the readings. the book is pretty useless. if you just look over lectures its an easy C i'd say. he is very nice and has a great personality.

Prof Weber is so cool and he really cares about the video game industry. He has personally been involved with studies in the field and has lots of experience. He talks clearly and is very thorough in his lectures. If you take notes during the lecture you won't have to read. Papers are easy and overall this class really isn't time consuming at all.

One of the best online classes Ive ever taken ! Dr. Weber is a respected doctor with a Ph.D & MD. I will definitely take another one of his clases soon !

One of the worst class I've ever taken. The class material is easy to understand but you are graded on arbitrary things that are not based on your knowledge of the course material. Extremely unreasonable and harsh grading.

I dont know about regular quarters, but I would stay clear of this class while its online. The competitive grading scale is very harsh for the Kialo debate, especially since it is worth 20% of your grade. The grades were not dropped until the very end of the quarter, so we had no clear sense how we were doing.

This online class during covid was horrific. There was absolutely no specificity with regard to grading. And the group project was absolutely ridiculous as one person who makes a mistake could completely destroy your overall grade for a project thats worth 30%. I will never take his classes again.
