Highly recommend taking his class! He is super great, understanding, easy going, and his class is fairly easy. You felt very cared for in his class and he would check in on his students. Workload was basically lectures, some participation points, like 4 discussions posts, 2 research papers, and 1 poster. Super easy. I highly recommend his class.

Professor Weiss is very easy going and just a chill guy. He puts a lot of work into his class lectures, and it shows. His class is very fun and knowledgeable. The only thing is he makes it mandatory for you to turn your camera on in zoom and participate.

Don't even hesitate to take him. he is the BEST and the nicest person. He really cares about the students. the hw are very light only some discussions, a 6 page essay, a midterm, and a final which are all very easy and fun. participation matters a lot and he wants the cameras opened. he makes the class so fun. TAKE HIM!!
