Reviews of professor Robert Wieman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Bad. Absolutely terrible. This level of education is by no means free, and I can say with complete confidence that this course was a waste of time AND MONEY. Almost every time I had a quiz it was on material we'd never done in the workbook in class. The practice tests were nothing like the real ones, I learned for the quizzes and tests using yt

So long as you can self teach, I think you'll be fine. However, he really goes off weird tangents here and there. I didn't really care for how he taught, but he's def not worth your money. I'd take him again on the basis that I got to skip class a lot.

I highly recommend that you DONT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He is not a very good teacher but he is passionate about math. This is basically a self taught class. Personally Math200 is not a class I wanted to teach myself. DONT TAKE HIM

Dr Wieman's class is difficult, but nothing impossible. If you do the pages from the workbook, ask the right questions, study after class, do ALEKS you will be fine. Tests are modified versions of the practice tests.

I have never done bad in a math class until I took Prof. Wieman's. The tests are short and if you get one small detail wrong, he gives you zero credit for the entire question. He does't give study guides or any clear depiction of the work he wants you to show on tests or quizzes. I had to withdraw because I knew I would not be able to pass.

Wieman is good and will help you if you ask. Also, he does explain things well, although he may explain the topic after he told the class to complete the section in the activity book on the topic. He makes sure that people know what topics are on the test/quiz. The practice tests are basically just alternate versions of the tests.

Doesn't teach. Whole class time is group work where you're trying to figure out his workbook. All learning is done outside of class from a computer program that is counted towards your grade. Tests are graded specifically based on how you solve the problems even tho he doesn't ever tell you what he wants. Doesn't take attendance tho.

His class is VERY difficult. You need to stay on top of the work because the homework is difficult and he won't round up points. He grades based on mastery, meaning as long as you do the homework and get it correct and do well on the quizzes, then you will not have to do it on the test. Seems like a great thing until you're in the class, good luck.

Be prepared to teach yourself the material, he cannot explain processes or formulas to save his life so don't expect any real learning to occur in the classroom. Absolutely impossible to reach unless you approach him in class. If you think good homework grades will make up for poor test/quiz grades, you would be soooo wrong.
