Reviews of professor Eric Weissman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Weissman is a wonderful prof and truly a joy to listen to. He references a lot from his past, and is very relatable. Not a tough grader, but clear and concise on what he expects, and will help you every step of the way!

Great guy!! Very funny and passionate about his work. He makes every lecture interesting and keeps his students engaged in the conversation. He can be confusing at times and unclear, especially on the topic of projects, although he is easy to approach if you need clarification. He is an easy marker, follow his advice and you'll pass!!

Dr. Weissman is a great prof! He can be unclear in lectures which can be all over the place some days but he gives real life perspective on the content. If you are confused about a topic he takes the time to explain something until you understand it if you ask him to! He seems intimidating at first but really nice guy who wants students to succeed

I have taken 3 classes with Weissman now and every time i want to take another one solely for him as a person. not a lot of material was taught in his classes but it was still really easy to get a good grade. He is very understanding of mental health and that we have other things going on outside of class.

One of the faculty's best professors. His lectures are very engaging and reflects often on his graduate work on homelessness. Very admirable man with some old jokes, but SOCI1001 (when I took it pre-COVID) was textbook-heavy, but if you have a sense of what "intersectionality" means you will pass with flying colours in this class

Eric Weissman has been the only professor Ive encountered at UNBSJ that has a genuine interest in the lives of his students. He sees you for more than a 7 digit number and grand point average, which in a time of remote learning is hard to do. His classes are interesting and he keeps students engaged. He answers any questions until you understand.
