super duper easy A
Greatest teacher I had this semester. He's really passionate about the weather, making him fun to listen to and learn the material. He's also more than happy to help you out with any issues you're having in or out of class. I definitely recommend him
Basically, I suck at science and I got an A in the course. Power Points were straight forward as were the exams.
Awesome professor!!He gives extra points for people who attend, so COME TO CLASS.He also gives a bonus quiz to help boost your grade!
LOVE him so much. Always has bonus questions on the tests and gives extra credit for showing up or emailing him pictures of clouds wthe type. Really fun class to take, he really enjoys what he does which makes it that much more fun. I suck at science, but it's an easy A for me. Just study the powerpoints and his notes and do the extra credit!
By far my favorite professor. He makes the lectures enjoyable and entertaining. Plenty of extra credit opportunities. 4 tests, your lowest only counts for 10%. So by the third test if you are at anything 100 or above (easy to do) he tells you to not even show up the rest of the semester. He even had me thinking about changing my major to ATMO!
Weaver is the man. He posts all of his notes online so you do not have to go to class, but if you miss less than 6 class periods you can do extra credit for a possible 10 points on your FINAL grade. Was never a huge weather guy, but he made class really fun and interesting. TAKE HIS CLASS
Very, good professor! I took atmospheric science for my random science credit and I am so glad I did! Great class, and made me interested in a class that is totally not up my alley.
I had a great time in this class. He is super funny and actually made the weather interesting! I was very happy I took this course
He is my favorite professor I have ever had. He cares about the students and puts a lot of effort into making sure we understand and are enjoying the class.
I'll start off by saying I'm the type of student who will come to class every once in a while, tune in, then tune out as soon as it's over. However, Mr. Weaver is without a doubt the most caring and inspirational instructor I have had at Tech. He is more than just a weather class teacher. He is a mentor, and a funny one at that. Get him if you can!
Do not even know where to begin with Mr. Weaver. He was just an overall great guy a phenomenal professor. He gives you extra credit if you have less than 6 absences and is always willing to communicate with the students to help out academically and in everyday life. Wednesdays especially were great because he would give out very useful advice.
Loves his subject and knows a lot about it. Best professor I've had at Tech, period. Must take if you need a lab science and this one counts.
Most entertaining professor Ive had thus far. He gives an ample amount of extra credit for attendance which in some cases brought my grade up 10+ points. Weaver is an all around great professor and really cares about his students.
Mr. Weaver is great. He made the material very easy to understand and he was also entertaining. I strongly recommend taking his course, you won't regret it!
Super funny and has reviews the class before a test. Gives extra credit usually the day after bar night because people usually don't show up to class. There are usually 3 online quizzes that lead up to tests. Review has main points but reading each chapter helps immensely. Find my quizlets and you will pass.
Mr. Weaver is by far the best professor I have ever had. He makes the material interesting and can always crack a joke that will make the entire class laugh. His tests are super easy if you go to class and review your notes. Easy A and at the same time, you'll look forward to going to class.
I HIGHLY recommend taking Weaver! He gives a ton of + credit (mainly for being there on Fridays, plus bonus questions on tests) He gives an awesome review the class before the test w/powerpoint w/everything you need to know. I hardly went and I still made an A! The quizzes on blackboard are pretty much all on quizlet, study them! Funny, caring guy.
Weaver was an amazing teacher. He gives a lot of extra credit. You need to show up to class everyday, but be sure to be there for the week of any exam -Monday is Review-Wednesday is test-Friday he usually gives extra credit-( not every week). Easy A would recommend to anyone needing a science.
I really had to study hard to get an A in here, even with the extra credit. Some people say they never went to class and it was an easy A,makes me wonder how exactly that happened? I worked my butt off! Mr. Weaver is pretty good! He takes boring material and makes it fun. The extra credit really helps! Study and you'll do great. Earn it!
He is a great professor. I never knew the weather could be such an interesting topic to learn about. His lectures are fun and easy to listen to. He usually will let you leave class a few minutes early and gives ton of extra credit for showing up to class. I would only take this class with Weaver. Oh and NO FINAL!
Honestly he is the man. Smart, funny & generous, one of my favorite professors of all time.
My love for Mr. Weaver grows more and more everyday. Please take this class you will not regret it. 3
He doesn't take attendance except for extra credit, lectures are short and tests are pretty easy. The quizzes are online and you can take them twice, he is funny and kind! If you can get in this class!
By far my favorite professor at Tech. Really nice and funny guy who loves what he does. Course load is not difficult but will require a little studying if you want an A. No final and big extra credit opportunity at the end if you don't miss more than 5 classes. Would highly recommend if anyone needs a science credit!
TAKEWEAVERTAKEWEAVERTAKEWEAVER TAKE HIM!!!!!!! HES AWSOME OKAY. FAVORITE TEACHER AT TECH SO FAR. LECTURES ARE EASY AND I ENJOYED COMING TO CLASS. AND NOOOOOO FINAL!! :)
350 characters are not enough to describe how great Weaver is. You'll learn a lot of interesting stuff, and make an A if you pay decent attention. He also gives great advice and "Weaver's Wednesday Words of Wisdom" were worth the price of the course. Weaver understands you don't want to be a meteorologist and is very fair.
If you need to take a science. Take this. Dr. Weaver is funny, engaging, and teaches clearly. If you get an A on the first 3 tests you don't have to take the 4th and there is no final. Go to class - its interesting and helpful. Take notes - study the notes and you'll get an A. The lab is kind of annoying but not hard.
Professor Weaver was great. I really enjoyed his class! He made the topics we discussed very interesting and easy to understand. He was also HILARIOUS. I would definitely take the class again. General coursework was easy and tests were very straightforward.
Weaver sets the example for all other professors! You can tell that he really cares about his students and he will help you out with whatever issues you have, school related or not. He is honestly Inspirational and I had a great time in his class. He also delivers lectures in an entertaining way that you will remember the info!
Mr. Weaver is awesome! He made class so enjoyable. He really works with you and gets to know you personally. He makes the class really easy to understand, not just an easy A (but that comes with it). No final and there's an extra credit opportunity of 5 points on your final grade. Lots of EC for going to class. TAKE ATMO 1300 WITH MR. WEAVER!!
I expected to blow through this class for an easy A. However, he was such an effective professor that I walked away with a better understanding of ATMO and how weather works, etc. He's really nice and charismatic which are two qualities many professors lack. Lectures were very interesting and it's obvious that he's passionate about atmo sci.
Such a cool class! Always there to help with whatever you need and makes an effort to get to know his students all while having engaging and fun lectures. Couldn't ask for a better professor. Was way more interested in this class than I thought I would be. Take him!
Mr. Weaver is by far the best instructor I've ever had. Not only does he break things down to a perspective easy enough to understand but he makes his lectures extremely enjoyable. He cares a lot about his study and even more so about his students.
Amazing, absolutely amazing. Weaver is hilarious, insightful, and he really connects with his whole class. He's so passionate about what he teaches (meteorology), and he's super relaxed. You can talk to him about anything. He gives lots of extra credit, and the class is easy if you pay attention and listen for when he says something's on the test.
Weaver is by far the best professor I have ever taken. I would take this class over and over again. He offers a lot of extra credit, he is hilarious, he genuinely cares about his students, he is passionate about what he does, and he makes it fun. He is relaxed, laid back, I cannot stress enough how awesome this man is as a person, and a professor!
Professor Weaver is awesome! He's so passionate about his lectures and makes it interesting! Go to class because it pays off in the end when he gives extra credit. Tests are online, do get the textbook because its helpful for the tests because some answers aren't online. Quizzes are super easy if you pay attention! Again great class!
Awesome teacher. Tests can be a little difficult, but he is very lenient on giving extra credit and extra time for quizzes to be completed.
Great lecturer! All around good guy.
Professor Weaver is such a fun teacher! He really knows how to make class interesting. The only time I used the textbook was for the online quizzes. Tests are easy, you take them at home on Blackboard. Lot's of extra credit. He also likes to cancel class every now and then to give students a break. Overall, he's a really good guy. I recommend!
Weaver is the best prof for ATMO. Show up because he tells you what his test questions will be in class.
Very good teacher, attendance is done online. Can get extra credit for showing up, and sometimes just for doing simple things such as saying what type of clouds are outside. Funny, laid back, and very knowledgeable.
Great Teacher!!!! The best!
Easily one of the best professors at Tech. He truly cares about his students and offers a generous amount of extra credit. So, in short, if you're looking just to fill an elective or are an ATMO major take Mr. Weaver's class.
Prof Weaver is awesome!! He makes the class enjoyable and creates a fun learning environment. Highly recommended!! Plenty of extra credit
Mr. Weaver is the best professor I have ever had. His lectures are interesting and the quizzes and test are all open book and easy. Definitely take his class!!!
One of the few classes where you actually learn something. He makes the lectures engaging, funny, and interesting. That being said, you still need to show up to class and study to do well in the class. Even if I hadn't got an A I would not regret taking this class!
Professor: Great & funny lectures Tests: Difficult but if you actually take notes from the powerpoint and read the book and you will do well. (The Tests are online) Quizzes: Extremely easy all answers are online. (The quizzes are online) Attendance: Done online, so you don't really have to show up but I would because the class is so intresting!
Absolute great teacher!! He tells a lot of great dad jokes and he's super nice. You probably won't get a good grade if you don't show up but if you show up you'll do fine! Plus if you're struggling in class you can talk to him and he'll help you out
Weaver is a god. He is smart and very well versed in his class material. Easy and not intimidating to be in contact with. Genuinely cares about students and their lives. Best professor EVER.
Professor Weaver is so funny! He teaches for fun, it's not his "real job" as he'll tell you, so he doesn't take himself or the class too seriously. Tests and quizzes are on blackboard so they're easy to ace. If you're looking for a laid back science class, this one's perfect!
The only science class Ive ever taken that I actually enjoyed. All of the tests/quizzes are online along with lecture slides. I ended the class with an A and it didnt take much effort at all. 5% of grade is from attendance though.
Justin Weaver is the best professor there is! His class is easy and exams are from the PowerPoints. He truly cares about his students. He is very understanding and and helps you out in every way possible! I have a lot anxiety and he made sure to help me out! Definitely take his class! Great role model!
He's the best!
Very laid back professor, and easily approachable. Tests and quizzes don't always come from the lectures, and can be a bit difficult. He makes buying the textbook for the class optional, but he does take information and questions from it for the quizzes or tests. However, the quizzes and tests are also all online. Overall, enjoyable class!
Mr. Weaver is the highest rated professor at TTU and it is well deserved. He is a great guy and obviously passionate about what he does. Do yourself a favor, take his class.
Mr. Weaver is amazing, he really does want his students to succeed. His tight pants are a bit distracting though...
Prof. Weaver was an all around great guy! He really cares about his students and wants to see you succeed. 10/10 would highly recommend. Easy A if you go to class. He puts notes online which makes it easy to start skipping class, but don't. He makes boring lectures about the weather super fun + he puts videos and images in his lectures.
He was super funny and easy going. I had an 88 at the end and he moved it to an A because I did the 'end of course evaluation'! I defiantly recommend taking his class!
Weaver is seriously one of the nicest professors I've had. He really cares about his students and wants to see everyone succeed. Boring lectures but he makes them funny. He tells alot of dad jokes. Just Show up to class cuz he gives extra credit/test questions and will be more willing to help you out with your grade! Take him for atmo if you can!
Professor Weaver is by far the best professor I have ever had. His lectures are very interesting and the man is hilarious. While his test are slightly difficult he offers a lot of opportunities for extra credit. Textbook is not required. If you don't take Professor Weaver then you're wrong. He is the most respected professor , a true gem!
Great Guy ! So far the best professor I have had at Tech. He cares a lot about his students! All exams are online and he gives extra credit opportunities. Going to class is kinda mandatory because he checks attendance and will do questions during lectures but you can get extra credit from that as well! I would highly recommend taking his class.
Interesting class, great professor.
He is a really good teacher! I only skipped a few times but i have an A. Tests are open book and open note
Awesome professor!! Definitely an easy science credit, tests are a little hard but they are open note and book. Go to class because attendance is part of your grade.
He was an amazing professor. Very funny with his lectures and makes them very interesting to listen to. He takes attendance, but it won't kill your grade if you don't go. Open book/note/google tests and quizzes. I would definitely take his class again.
Basically what everyone else is saying, he's great. There is no homework except a few quizzes, and the tests aren't that hard, but just a heads up the 3rd exam is challenging if you don't go to or pay attention in class. Also there is an assignment at the end of the semester which will let you replace your lowest test. GL
One of the greatest people Tech has! This class is dirt easy and you really have to mess up to not make an A. Weaver is pretty awesome and is hilarious and gives great advice, especially about life and stuff. Definitely take him!!!
Great guy, tough class (for me).
THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD BY A LANDSLIDE. He wants you to succeed and will round your grade when needed, or give you second tries on your quizzes (and sometimes tests) if you didn't do as well as you hoped. The workload is so small and he makes class fun. Easy A class and really cool, caring and understanding guy. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Justin was a great professor and made Atmospheric Science interesting. All of the tests/quizzes are online, and the only grades are attendance, quizzes and exams. The quiz questions are taken from the textbook questions, so they are all online or in the textbook. He makes up the majority of the exam questions, but he hints at them in class before.
Please take his class over the other professor, please!!!! He gives extra points for coming to class on Fridays and the day before a break begins. For example, he gave us 70 pts EXTRA on attendance before spring break started. Really great guy gives great advice concerning life! You get points for coming to class so just go they save you later.
Dude just take this guy! He's awesome and he just wants to help you. He gave 2 opportunities for extra credit and emails giving reminders for due dates. You can go to class for extra points if you would like.
Weaver was by far the best professor I had at Tech. He adds dad jokes to his lectures to make the content entertaining. He also hints at future test questions. His test are easy if you pay attention in class and go to his lectures. He is incredibly understanding and I would 100% take this class again.
Such a nice guy! Ask any random question about the weather and he'll answer it no problem. He doesn't make you buy the textbook. Quizzes and tests are open notes and Quizlet friendly. There's an extra credit assignment offered at the end but I didn't need it. If you show up to class he'll make sure you get an A.
Mr. Weaver is my favorite professor I have had at Tech. If you go to class and participate, he gives extra credit (which could possibly bump you a whole letter grade). His lectures are never boring and he is very passionate and wants what is best for his students. He has been very accommodating during COVID and is always available via email.
Mr. Weaver is one of the most caring professors. He genuinely cares about you personally and will do whatever he can to help. The class is not that hard just pay attention and you'll be good. He is also hilarious just a heads up, you will definitely laugh in class.
Professor Weaver was an amazing professor. He's very passionate about what he teaches and the well being of his students! All you have to do to pass the class is type everything from the lectures down into a google doc and he allows you to use your notes during the test. If you have any concerns talk to him and I promise you he'll work with you!!
By far one of the best professors I have ever had. I will say he is a little lecture heavy but he makes the lectures funny and interesting. If you ever needed help outside of class, he always responded fast.
Mr. Weaver is hands down the best professor I have taken here at Tech. He really cares about what he is teaching and I found all of his lectures to be super interesting. Also, his jokes are hilarious. He really cares about all of his students. I've only heard great things about his class and I'm so glad I took it!
Great professor, test questions come straight from the textbook and attendance is part of your final grade
Great professor, would definitely take this course again.
Funny lectures, tests are a bit hard but the test reviews he gives are great. I hate science but this class wasn't too bad at all.
Literally the best professor at Tech! This guy is so passionate about what he teaches. He makes the material fun and super easy to learn! Mr Weaver cares so much about his students and even when he didn't make attendance mandatory, I still wanted to go to his lectures because I looked forward to them!
Easily the best professor I had at Tech, made class very easy and enjoyable
Mr. Weaver made class fun while still teaching us the criteria.
You are missing out if you don't take Mr. Weaver's class, that's all I have to say. Best professor at Tech hands down.
He is the most chill professor I have met so far; you could probably have a beer with him. But seriously, all you got to do is attend the class, and you have an A
He is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He knew most of us were not science majors. His lectures were fun to listen to. His assignments were super easy.
What can I say about Weaver that hasn't been said? He teaches an easy class, and so he can just be a cool guy most of the time. His tests are not too bad, and as long as you take notes and pay attention, a B is possible at the very least. Attendance was mandatory, but for the most part his class was worth showing up to just to have a good time.
Amazing teacher
Professor Weaver made me enjoy coming to his class everyday! My favorite professor I've had at Tech so far, since he truly cares about his students. It's easy to get an A, just go to class everyday. Tests aren't too bad, just as long as you take notes.
Class is technically mandatory since he takes attendance, but only a small part of your final grade. Textbook not required. There are multiple extra credit opportunities. All tests and quizzes are online, and you get three chances on every quiz to make a 100. Overall, he's a really good professor.
Great professor who is passionate about what he teaches! Is caring and knows this class isnt your highest priority which is great. Gives great words of wsidoms and is an all around a great guy!
Mr. Weaver was an amazing professor, attendance wasn't mandatory but he took it everyday as extra credit! He offers extra credit too! He is my favorite professor and he is so helpful.
Amazing professor and super easy class. 100% take if given the opportunity
Amazing professor who cares about his students and tries to make the class both interesting and enjoyable. He can be contacted very easily, and the course material is pretty simple. He is easily the best professor I've encountered at Texas Tech. In regards to the class, the homework is usually pretty quick, and the exams are reasonable and online.
Best Professor I have ever taken!!
Mr. Weaver was one of the best professors I have ever had. His class was so interesting and he was an amazing professor!
First every class at Texas tech was Mr Weavers class and it started a great first semester at tech. He gives advice on more than just weather. I have all the wisdom that he told the class in a note and hope to come back to it and say I did most of it. In summary he's the goat
AMAZING! I love professor Weaver. If he was still teaching I'd 1000% recommend any and everyone to take his class. He's also hilarious!
Professor weaver was great. He offered extra credit and his lectures were very interesting.
The lectures were really fun, he had LOTS of extra credit opportunities, quizzes could be taken up to 3 times, and he was really accommodating with everything, even the college lifestyle. If you want an easy science credit that you might actually have fun in I definitely would recommend Mr. Weaver for Atmo 1300.
One of the better professors I've had in college. Fun classes and is always seen at games. Awesome professor.
Mr. Weaver is so awesome! Highly recommend taking his course it was fun and easy.
Great professor! Highly recommend taking him if you are looking for an easy science course.
Professor Weaver makes this class engaging and enjoyable. Easy coursework, with online tests and quizzes. Attendance is mandatory but not too demanding. unstuckstudy was a great study aid alongside the free textbook.
