Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
All online: 12 homework's (second attempt gives answers), 4 test, 2 projects fairly easy, 3 quiz so far maybe 4, in class activities partnered by him counting you off may end up with a random classmate each time, One final presentation (group project). It is fairly easy looking up a company then 7 min presentation. Everything online if not in book.

Pretty easy class! You basically do the science version of mathxls and just a couple of worksheets. There were like 8 tests in total, around 40 questions each. You also do a couple of canvas discussions. He offers an optional weekly zoom chat if you need any help too. Didn't stress too much in this class, I'd recommend taking it!

Homework and tests are through Pearson and it was relatively easy. Worksheets are sprinkled in that are a page or two long, roughly took an hour to complete those. Midterm was a little essay that was fun to write. Final is a test. Do the work and you'll get an A! He holds optional zooms if you have any questions and is very understanding!!!

Professor Weiss was awesome. Tests and quizzes are all online. 1 paper and 1 group project which is your final exam. Lectures are long, but if you take notes and listen he will say " this is on your test" . There really is no reason to not pass his class.

Lots of busy work, lots of rushed grouped participation, lots of long lectures until dismissal, most all work is online, no timed hw or quizzes, allows eating in class, has no control over classroom. Very cynical professor.

AMAZING prof! He's so kind and was really accommodating when I had to delay my online exam. His class is really interesting and easy to digest. Do the HW and you'll get an A!

Mr. Weiss is clearly very passionate about Science. In a way it is very nice to empathize with his passion, but sometimes the class can be very overwhelming because it is a mandatory class. Yes, tests, homework, and projects are a piece of cake, but when you take Economics, Business Law, and Accounting these projects are a real burden.

This was a very easy class, and best of all it was actually interesting and fun to learn about the topics discussed. If your major relates to Earth Sciences in anyway I highly recommend his course as he is capable of nurturing and encouraging that interest. He has weekly zoom meetings where he goes over the chapters but do be prepared to read.
