Reviews of professor Desiree Weber

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Weber is a fantastic professor and theorist. She was my supervisor and through her mentorship I am continuing in academia. Yeah, if you don't do the readings and don't go to class, you wont pass, but isn't that how it should be?

If you dont go to class or do the readings, you are going to be completely lost. Dont bother asking her for help, because shell just talk in circles and ask you to find the answers yourself. Takes forever to put grades in, so you could be completely failing and have no idea. Good luck.

I have taken many of her courses and they are all super interesting. If you want to learn, take her class.

Took her intro to theory class and did well. Lots of reading. Her presentations are helpful, but most of the material is learned outside of class. Midterm and final with study guides. In-class debates throughout the year. Heavy emphasis on papers, which she grades strictly. Takes a long time to grade. Really n helpful professor outside of class too

Does not give feedback in a timely manner and is unspecific and bad at communicating. Lots of reading, and class is inconsistent with course catalogue

Professor Weber definitely expects effort and work from her students, but she is clearly very well-versed in her topic and is accommodating to her students. I always find her classes to be challenging but interesting, and she doesn't expect anything that is unattainable. There is a lot of reading and you will be expected to do it.
