Too big class, but easy going. He tries to be hostile, but is not bad at all.

HUGE Class size. Just do the reading and you'll get an good grade. He sucks as a teacher, he pretty much literaly ready from the book to high light what you should read for next class. It doesn't even run the whole time it's schedualed for. Easy 3 credits

Class size around 450 or so. The quizzes are easy as long as you pay attention to what he says, since he tells you basically what will be on the quiz. Easy A!

Easy class if you go and highlight whatever he says that's in the book. Very negative and conservative views though. And it's also really hard to get a hold of him or his TA.

I don't get why people complain about this class so much. So it's long and boring... get over it, you're in college now. Weis knows what he is talking about and can be a pretty nice guy.

very knowledgeable...knows is !@#$...bring your book and a highlighter...he reads from the book so you know what is going to be on the test...quizzes every week on the previous weeks lecture and mostlikly a movie too....good teacher!!!

Very easy class. Bring the book + a highlighter and follow along. He just reads straight from the book for a little while and sometimes shows a movie. Almost never goes full class time.

may seem "mean" on the outside, but if you listen to what he is saying,the man knows his stuff. He is actually a cool guy with a good sense of humor. You can learn a lot of important stuff about the biz from him. good prof.

No tests but quizzes every week. Long lectures and videos. Highlighting will help dearly in this class. No need to really read if you highlight. Pretty easy course.

If you go to class every week, do the reading, and sorta pay attention, this class is an easy A. The lectures are extremely boring and so are most of the videos. If you don't mind being bored, I would recommend the class. Have fun...lol

I learned alot in this class. Very interesting and appreciated his knowledge. Had a good sense of humor and wanted to see everyone do well. As long as you read the text and pay attention in class, you will have no problems getting an A.

I have taken almost every PR class with Prof. Weis. He is a great teacher who tells it like it is. Even though you may hear him talk about the marketing mix every day, you really do need to know it.

Easy class for the university standard. If you study for the quizzes, and half ass pay attention in class its an easy A.

Really EASY class. Just go. No test, just REALLY simple T/F quizzes on common sense stuff generally. Class doesn't even take 2 1/2 hours like it says, 1 1/2 - 2 hrs at the most. Easy for 3 credits.

mass media is easy, though boring. he gets better as you get into your major. pr cases is a huge paper but thats all you do, pretty easy. research a big paper, but also pretty easy. he is a good guy, good teacher, and not bad at all.

I like him...MCOM 100 can be easy if you read and go to the lecture..but it's boring. He's a lot nicer when you talk to him one on one.

Professor Weis is a boring professor but he knows his stuff very well. His lectures can be unbearable at times, thank goodness for laptops and wireless internet! If you highlite the material he goes over in the text you'll pass the quizzes without a problem.

Fairly Good Professor. Definately knows his stuff (atleast I think). MCOM class was easy if you read for the Quiz. I found most of the stuff he talked about to be very interesting and informative. Kind of talks down about the college students, but, sadly, he is right.

I love Weis!!! He and Drake are the only great teachers in the Winona Mass Comm Departmenr

I have never taken a class like this before. I find the information intriguing and useful. It can get long, but it is a 2 and a half hour class. Weis seems like a jerk most of the time, but he is a really good teacher, and he can be surprising. This class is not hard, and is worth taking.

This class is very easy. Read the textbook and pay attention during lecture/movies and you should do fine.

He seems like a jerk, but he really isn't. Just listen in class, read the book and watch the movies and I guarantee at least a "B." Write down anything that he writes down (which is like twice during the semester) because it will be on the quiz. Take this class, because it is interesting and you learn a lot of useful information.

I disagree with what the previous person said. Weis answers questions as best he can while teaching the largest class at Winona State. Tests are True/False

Smart man. To the point. Does what he needs to for teaching, if you cant get past this class, you're pretty screwed. It's simple, not always as easy as he plays it out to be, but read and take notes, and you'll do fine. He's harsh about our generation, but he's right. Interesting class.

I had him for Public Relations...he really knows what he's talkin about, and can be boring and his ego flares up everyonce an while, but you really do learn a lot about PR and advertising, plus he only makes you have class like once a week or so and theres no final only a group portfolio...i encourage people to take Public realtions with him..glad

He lectures all hour, shows videos, as a class it's okay, quiz every week, the quizzes i never got an A on, it's hard to tell from all teh info he gives us what he's going to put on the quiz. The class itself i didn't really enjoy but i did think that he was a good teacher, he knows what he's talking about up there.

I actually didn't like the guy at first, but as the semester when on I liked him more. He is a good guy and is cares a lot about the topics he talks about. One of the reasons I like him is because he dropped all of our lowest test scores and we don't have to take a final. I wouldn't take the class because its boring though.

This guy sure loves communication. However, the class had over 500 students and his lectures tend to get long. The quizes arent that bad and even if you dont do well on the quizes, you will probably do okay in the class.

He is harsh, but it helps. if youre not used to being critizied, then Mass Comm isnt the field for you. if you do bad, he will point it out in front of the class, but if you do well, he will make a point of it as well.

Sure, his lectures can get boring, but about 90% of the time, they only go from 6-7:30. Quizzes are easy and straightforward if you read the chapter a week. Note what he generally repeats several times in class. Gets straight to the point. Not much outside help in this class. Go to class, read the chapter, and you'll be fine.

I don't know about his higher MCOM classes (which have some bad reviews), but the infamous MCOM 100, the largest class at WSU, is easy. The class is usually cut an hour short, his lectures which can get boring sometimes, are about what's going to be on next week's quiz and nothing else. Show up, and read the chapter and you'll do fine.

this class is easy.. just go to it once a week.. anyone could teach this class.. do the little reading assignments every week and u'll do fine on the tests which are true and false only everytime.. most of the stuff is common sense.. and if u need to cheat in his class to get better than a B u shouldnt be in college

If you had to cheat to do well in this class you need to go back to highschool... it is called reading... and it is the littlest bit of reading on top of it... the class was so easy and he is a good prof. he makes it as fun as it can be telling stories... class gets alittle old but it is 3 credits you meet once a week for like an hour... EASY A or

The easist class possible. It's schedule for 2 and a half hours a week but he usually lets you go after 1-1.5 hours. If you read the chapter the quiz is on you'll be fine.

Easy A class. Just show up, read the book and study the notes he gives in class and you will do fine. He can be funny sometimes-overall very nice and just wants you to succeed. He lets you out of class early all the time and usually makes class last until 7:30. Interesting class.

He's pretty easy. You pretty much don't even need the book as long as you pay attention during his lectures. He's kind of full of himself but he's really smart about what he teaches and it's pretty much all common sense to begin with. If you can't get a good grade in this class then you either probalby shouldn't be in college or Mass Comm.

For all of the people that are complaining about this class and teacher - get over it. This class is extremely easy if you pay attention in his lecture and read the chapter that is assigned. Yes there is a quiz every week but it is only 25-30 points of T/F. If you read the questions carefully they aren't tricky! Take the class it's easy!

Good prof, easy class. The very first class, I thought he was a big jerk, but he's actually a very good guy, and I like his teaching style. At first, I was concerned about all the quizzes being T/F, but none of them are tricky at all. Just pay attention in class. Reading the book definately helps, but it's possible to get by without it.

Good professor, and super easy class. As long as you pay attention in class and study his powerpoints, there's no reason not to get an A. Also, no need to purchase the book.

Very knowledgeable about topics. Class got long at times, but you're never there until when class is scheduled to end, usually an hour before you're out the door. Don't need to buy the book. Didn't open it once and got an A. Pay a little attention, study the powerpoints before the quiz, and you'll do fine.

Professor Weiss is very good. His class is extremely easy. I got an A and didn't use the book. All you have to do is go to class and listen most of the time and then read the power point before the class. Yea its long but its once a week and you're usually out before 7:20. I hate people who cheat in this class. Seriously, its a 100 level class.

Weis is the easiest professor ever. He is lazy so he doesnt expect much out of students either. DONT BUY THE BOOK! Just go to every class and write down the things that he repeats over and over. He gives you HUGE hints as to what will be on the quiz. There is no reason not to get an A. He even put powerpoints on D2L.

Overall you can tell he's passionate about what he's talking about. Of course it's hard for him to talk to anyone personally because of the 450 people in class. Easy class, just study his notes and you'll do fine. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK, NO MATTER WHAT HE TELLS YOU. I didn't buy it and I got an A in the class just using the powerpoints!

don't buy the text book (you'll never use it). there's a test every week on the topic from the week before. he posts the power points on d2l. easiest thing to do is print out the power points and study for the test during lecture. he's boring and acts like he hates our generation. but its an easy class; i got a B without trying.

DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! you dont use it at all. You just study his powerpoints for the quizes. Very Easy and he always lets you out early

Yes, he seems lazy, but I think he deserves more credit than he gets. This class is VERY easy and the only quizzes are true and false. DON'T BUY THE BOOK. Everything you need to know are off of his slide shows. You almost always get out of class an hour early, which is nice. Lectures can be long, but just do homework or study during lecture.

He's already retired, but just teaches for fun. Only, his TA does everything. DON'T BUY THE BOOK. It's super easy. There's a weekly quiz--it's a night class--that's extremely easy. You can only miss one class though.

Weis is one of the best profs at WSU. He has a prickly personality but once you get beyond that he is a phenomenal prof. People confuse his unwillingness to accept lazy work with him being a jerk. If you get a chance to take a class with him, DO IT! He will prepare you for the real world better than anyone else.

EASY class, powerpoints every week you get online study during the lecture then take a true-false quiz. He always lets out early and puts his two sense in everything which can be funny. DON'T BUY THE BOOK, HE WILL TELL YOU TO BUT DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy. quiz each week, questions straight off the power point. Dont buy the textbook, i didnt, still got an A. I barely tried so if you get a C or lower or get the persistence of vision question wrong, your probably a dumbass.

Super easy class!! Never any homework, he posts the powerpoints on D2L and all you have to do is read them and then take a true-false quiz on it. He WILL tell you to buy the book, but DON'T, you will NEVER use it! I bought it and didn't even take it out of the plastic wrap, waste of money. Boring class, can't use laptops, but bring Cosmo or an Ipod

The class is extremely boaring, cant sit next to anyone or use computers. DO NOT PURCHASE BOOK, i did & havent opened it out of shrink wrap. Easy A or B if you have other classes your worried about. Just review power points and you will do great!

This class is really easy, and Professor Weis has some good insights on the past and future of mass communication. Easy three credits. I would not recommend buying the text.

Great professor. You may have had him for MCOM 100, but don't be deceived--he does, in fact, expect a lot from his upperclassmen students which is great because he WILL prepare you for the real world. Don't confuse his comments with rudeness... he wants his students to succeed... at least the ones with common sense. It's a shame he's leaving soon.

Really easy class. Don't buy the book, I never used it and still got an A. You take a test every week at the end of class. Just study for it during class. He may come off as rude, but teaching 300 freshmen about stuff you already know a lot about can't be too exciting. Take if you want an easy A and only meet once a week.
