Reviews of professor William Weins

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I enjoyed this class I really did. However, if you choose professor Weins beware that he is tough. The homework is the best part of the whole class but its only worth 25% of your grade. On tests, I studied the study guide and it was pointless. If you did good in this class, I praise you. He literally told us we would be lucky to get a good grade.

Your grade is based on 4 grades total, 3 being exams. He never does a review for exams (even though he says he will.) All test are closed notes but has to curve every single exam, doesn't really add up. Lectures are ok at best but tend to focus on one topic that most likely will not show up on the exams. Lectures are very boring.

If you can give yourself time to read and thoroughly study the material I would recommend. Exams are 75% of your grade and are closed note and proctored. I think this class is geared for the organized and those who study textbooks well. His lectures are a repetition of the textbook so you can review (not learn, REVIEW) the material. Nice man!

The only complaint I have actually ruined him as a professor for me and that's the fact he announced to the class both times I took him, that we would be lucky to get an A or a B and to expect a C because that means we did everything up to standard.....so according to his standard, I did everything correct and right but still walked away with a C.

Teaches in a clear manner that is easy to understand. The classes can be boring at times however it was engaging in almost all sessions. Studying for tests are necessary since they are closed note and closed book, but very closely pertains to course material. Yellowdig is the only homework you receive and is simple to complete.

Professor Weins maintains a clear, straightforward class with engaging discussions and clear expectations. As long as you read the text and pay attention to extra content you'll do well on tests. Weekly discussion homework based on the reading and other extra content.
