Reviews of professor James Weston

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Mr. Weston isn't bad, and if you're a mechanical engineer you will most likely have to take him. Learning Solidworks is super fun, I just didn't like being graded for it. For the most part he will always have feedback on ways to improve. He's pretty lenient, if you do the work and turn things in on time you'll be fine.

Professor Weston is easily the most dull, long winded, pointless lecturer I have had. He reads off of PowerPoint slides that he didn't even write himself for 2+ hours a class. He is also an very unfair grader prone to taking off points on every nit-picky little detail. He will take off points if your drawing is not exactly the same as his.

Weston manages to make the lectures as boring as possible but at least he summarizes the most important detail. His exam grading system is he will give you 2/3 of the credit for the correct approach and 1/3 for correct answers. If you took the wrong approach, zero credit for that problem. Usually straight forward for exams but not a good prof.

Professor Weston is a great professor. Most of the assigned homework is very straightforward and simple, yet also very helpful. He's quick to answer any emails and doesn't mind helping you out outside of class. He goes over each homework set and sometimes gives you some solutions in class in order to make the homework easier.

James Weston is very unclear in what he wants in his assignments and grades assignments very tough. VERY time consuming class and lectures are dry.
