Do the work get the grade kind of teacher. Very understanding.
Very thoughtful and helpful. Always there for you and if you do the work and reviews you will get a really good mark.
This class was so cool! Honestly so interesting and he's really into it too. Study exactly what is on his exam review, nothing more, nothing less, and you will pass!
Lessons learned: 1) comment on DB posts EVERYONE OF THEM 2) Read and note everything little detail in your notes including data/stats, the "side note boxes"
Online class is great! He just doesn't tell you what to study, when the test is or which part of the entire book you should know. Helpful? As helpful as a Toronto map from 1901.
An extremely helpful professor who is passionate about the subject. He is personable and make the course interesting. He provides good outlines for exams. It is too bad some students take advantage of him and do not show up for class. He does not deserve that because he is a good person and is more than helpful with students.
I love him. Super nice if you get to know him.
I loveee love love love love this guy seriously best prof you could ask for. He teaches you everything you need to know and tells you everything you need to know and he's hilarious and all around the most charismatic guy I know.
Full of energy, humour and knowledge. He made the course fun and his method of teaching kept you interested. Loved how he elaborated when asked questions about course material. Ordered pizza for class and was very thoughtful to order a vegan pizza for us veg heads. Kristian truly rocks as a Prof.
Makes teaching the class interesting and cares about students thoughts and opinions.
Super chill and cares a lot about his students. Discussion posts were easy and his quizzes were an easy A+ (just search up the qs)
He's a very helpful and knowledgeable prof and the course (Criminal Psychology) is very interesting. He's also an easy marker so I would recommend taking his class. P.S. He's a very hyper person so if that bothers you don't take the in-person class and just go with the online
Very knowledgeable and passionate professor. I took the online psych course will him and found him a very fair marker. Although it is good to read the textbook, study using his power points and you will do just fine. His exams also were very reasonable. I recommend taking this online 100%!
One of the best experiences that I had in Seneca Collge. He is a really good professor. He is sp generous in marking. The course was about personality psychology which was really interesting. He answers my email very soon and very kind. I highly recommend you to take this elective course.
The best advice I can give anyone taking a class with Kristian is to not talk in the classroom while he is teaching because he will get mad other than that you will enjoy the class and laugh a lot, he is funny! His slides are very specific and the tests are easy if you follow his slides. Also, he gives the grades really fast.
Great course to take and taught by a great teacher
Great guy, very engaging, responds to e-mails at a rapid fire pace. Easy class to pass, although there are a lot of quizzes and blog entries. If you keep up with them you will easily get an A. He's fair and has a great sense of humour.
AMAZING
he only gives top 5-10% students a 2/2 and claims 1.5/2 is the average and "it's OK to be average, most people in the world are". thats setting your students for failure & makes them feel average at best. The point of a class is to learn to be better, not remind everyone how average we are. none of my degree classes are this hard.
Overall great professor. He provides detailed feedback on assignments upon request and replies quickly to emails. If for some reason he will be away he will let everyone know beforehand so you won't be left high and dry. Made online learning easy and inspiring, even for those who despise online classes.
Great professor if you put the effort in and follow his directions - don't be lazy or you'll receive a lazy mark. He recognizes those who put the extra effort into their papers with great marks. Heavy on quizzes and blogs but fair. expects degree level work but lays out directions clear as day for you. Great Prof! Thanks K! :)
Kristian made me learn more than any other psychology teacher I've had. He knows a lot and is a great teacher overall. He really cares about the class as he doesn't play any sneaky tricks. He has a very honest teaching style. If you invest, study, and do your work, you will succeed in his class without any problems. Thank you Kristian!
The material is a mixture of recommended books and pdf readings posted online. While there are due dates for weekly papers, you work at your own paste and don't need to show up to any tiresome online lectures. The Professor is really great and educated on the topics he talks about. If you are debating to get this course, GET IT WITH HIM!
A very good professor. His assignments are not hard and hes a fair grader. I dont regret taking his class.
The most flexible profosser ever! He extended a lot of due dates and dropped the last assignment as we were going through a hard time studying online during the pandemic. He explains the assignments and his expectation in details, sends reminders, and supports you throughout the semester. It was a pleasure having this course with him.
He is the best professor; understanding; kind and caring... you will enjoy the books through the semester... also he is so helpful; explains everything step by step... amazing course; fabulous professor..
I took PSY222 and it was a great course. Professor Weihs was a great professor and helpful. This course was great to be that boost of happiness we all need right now, and even though it's a course and has work like every other, it motivates you to work on yourself to become better. I would definitely take this class again, thank you professor!
Professor thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! You have made these difficult times feel better and more optimistic. Ive been recommendin your course to all my friends. Like this course is call Psychology of Happiness, taking your course has really made me feel that way specially during these times. Job well done and you also have made me proud
Very chill loved this class. Professor was super nice I would definitely recommend this class!!!!
This elective was very informative and the grading criteria were very clear and organized. I would recommend anyone to take this class.
Even though the course it's online (due to Covid), the professor is present and ready to answer questions via email. Overall, the course is interesting, the textbook it's an easy and enjoyable reading you will find easy to understand.
Shes a really straight forward and very clear instructor who will give you the feedback you need. As long as you can stay organized in terms of time youll really enjoy this course! :)
All these comments about him being helpful. This is a course in which you are on your own the Professor doesn't interact. You are basically paying to read a book and do a bunch of assignments. He is not helpful at all. Whenever you will email him he responds very coldly. NOt helpful at all during online classes. I won't recommend him at all.
I still dont even know what this professor has done in this course other than mark our assignments with minimal feedback. Very bad attitude. No explanation or support whatsoever
Professor Weihs is the most detailed professor I have come across. His instructions are clear and concise and supported by examples. I never thought I would enjoy a course that is mostly readings. The study guides are direct and there are no surprises in quizzes and assignments. This course is guaranteed to make a difference in your everyday life.
Even though this was an online class, the prof was very well spoken in explaining assignments and weekly tasks. He was easy to communicate with as he answered emails very quickly and is very real and understanding. I would be happy if I had him as a prof again! A Tip: stay on top of the readings/work and put in effort- and you will be successful :)
He is so understanding and respectful, his was very generous with grading and he honestly eased the stress of this course! An amazing prof!!!
The quizzes are O.K. but the assignments that make the course hard, u are graded based on getting the average he wants and not based on how much effort u put in, please please take pick another elective that is easy the good reviews are fake
He keep sending long emails, that are 99% similar. Requesting the material he is requesting read in average 40 pages a week and every week is some assignment or test. With marking is very tough... Doesn't lecture or explain material. You are just guessing everything
I do not know who gave him good reviews as in my class everyone is complaining about him? No lecturing, just due dates for assignment and quizzes. Students are left on their own.
He brings an attitude to class that makes students doubt themselves. So far, we have only seen him twiceout of 9 weeks together. All he does during meeting is discuss the upcoming assignment. He does not lecture and expects you to learn by reading from the text book. He says how he is passionate about teaching but doesnt even lecture? Disgusting.
Kristian, is something. If you take his class be prepared for sass, attitude, and attention seeking. He will constantly remind you that he designed the course, which isn't much of a course at all, all you do is read the two books! His study guides dont help for the tests, so be prepared to not know what you're doing. AVOID IF YOU CAN!!
If you can follow instructions, understand the expectations that have been given. and write in a academic manner (he tells you how) then he will work with you to ensure that you reach your potential, never before have I had a professor who is so concerned with ensuring students reach their full potential - he is preparing you for the real world.
His class was the hardest thing I've ever achieved lol. There were tons of pages you will have to read to do your weekly assignments. He gave quite detailed instructions for each assignment and test, but it still made me lose my sleep and always stressed my brain off. Anw, that was a helpful class about psy that help me quite a lot in real life.
There was no overload of assignments and the grading criteria was awesome
Honestly I got exactly what I wanted from this class. It gave me a better understanding of happiness and the prof gave you EVERYTHING to succeed. Each reading came with a study guide that would help you on the 2 major test of the program. It may seem like a lot but if you take the time to do it, it'll be pretty easy.Great class I'm happy I took it.
Professor Weihs is very considerate and he thoroughly explained the topics and assignments he assigned.
He was nice- there was a lot of small assignments such as BLOGS and weekly tests. But it was an online course so if you had the textbook in front of you - you can easily get an B/B+/A. In terms of assignments he often assigned BLOGs to do every two weeks on Ted Talks. He can be a particular marker- he likes depth in your work. This is for PSYC 210
He is an amazing professor!!! PSY222 was General Education course-I had to take, during this class I have learned a lot, textbooks and materials which he used were amazing and useful. For my second semester I will have PSY class again, I will definitely choose him.
Professor Weihs posted reminders of what's due each week, including tips on how to do great on them-helpful! Make sure to read and understand the readings and fill up the study guides he posts with them, these will be helpful for the two term tests and weekly assignments. An elective course you can actually apply in life. Honesty & effort needed.
Kristian is a good and fair professor. Her class makes us think and read a lot. It was one of the best classes that I had for credits. You just have to follow her guideline and be on time. Also, she is always willing to help and discuss when needed. =)
Kristian is a great prof. Pretty funny and witty. Not mandatory to go to class but it's worth it to go. Everything is straightforward and easy to follow along. Textbooks readings are easy.
He is so funny and a great professor!!
Very good professor. Explain stuff with passion and grades generously too.
Great professor! I felt really inspired with his classes
He is a good professor. His lectures are interesting and he teaches in a way that each and every student can understand. Students can easily ask him doubts. The course is not very difficult if you read the content before each class
Kristian is a great professor. If you prepare yourself for the class, it would be so easy to get good great. I really enjoyed his class.
Great professor!
Kristian is so engaging in classes and the assignments and tests are very easy. By the end of this course, you will learn so much about yourself. It almost feels like you are learning theory in class and using it on yourself which makes the learning process so much more interesting and fun. Totally recommend taking this course and professor:))
Very tough and unfair grader in my opinion
kristian is one of my favourite professors! his lectures are amazing and never boring. he explains course material very well and makes everything easy to understand; you can tell psychology is one of his passions. his tests are really easy and the workload is very manageable for an elective course. highly recommend!!
Professor Weihs's grading style is fair and he takes time to explain in detail the expectations on his assignments. I loved his choice of words in his announcements and notices. His feedbacks on some of my submitted work were very helpful. This course is beneficial not just for academic purposes, it applies to our everyday lives and endeavors.
Professor Kristian is clear in his communication from the beginning of the course. I knew where to find the material, how to get in touch with the professor, the expectations for each assignment and the grading criteria. Kristian is very generous he will provide you with extra time Just be consistent in your work.
Kristian was an awesome teacher for Personality Psychology!! I thoroughly enjoyed his lectures and we all found ourselves engaged and laughing. Not a tough or mean teacher, super fair and nice in my experience. I found the tests/quizzes very manageable. Thank you Kristian for an great semester, this was my favourite class and it was my elective!
It is a very good course. It helps you to improve as a person. This is a useful tool for your life. It needs your commitment to practice and lives the exercises and moves as well as the practical activities. Professor Weihs shadows you into the process and encourages you to experience it on your own, making you conscious of your ability to heal.
This professor tried too hard to be understanding towards the students present in class but was the exact opposite. I usually never review a professor but this prof's assignments made no sense, her work was all based on articles. no PowerPoint no lectures. I didn't learn anything from this class, def wasn't any positive psychology in this course.
This class being called "Positive Psychology" actually made my mental health decline and nearly costed me my 4.0 GPA in the process. Course expectations were at a graduate-level. Course evaluations were convoluted and unrealistic, too. Personally, I would avoid taking this class, and having him as a professor again knowing his teaching style.
Kristian is a very fair marker and generous with grades and deadlines as long as you put effort into the work assigned. However, the course does have a lot of reading and required texts are mandatory. Overall, I would definitely recommend for PSY222 for those taking electives.
Professor Weihs is extremely accommodating and understanding of his students and their lives. He has high expectations and does a good job of being clear with his instructions and feedback in order to help his students do the best they can. It is a lot of reading but the info is usually very interesting.
Things to know before taking LSO470: It's reading-heavy and Kristian doesn't use slideshows. You NEED all three texts (but they're easy to get as pdfs if you know where to look). Asynchronous = more study time, not less. That said, Kristian is knowledgeable, gives comprehensive assignment feedback, is responsive to email, and tests fairly.
The class was too difficult for no reason. he tried to reason with us but felt the opposite. This class has caused my gpa to go down and i personally would avoid taking this class with him in my opinion. the only good thing about this class was it was online and on your time.
He was clear in all of his descriptions and was a generous grader. he also removed multiple tasks to lighten our work load.
He was great, very considerate of students workload when setting deadlines. He incorporated a lot of readings that were interesting and not super technical in their wording, which made the content much easier to understand.
Professors is really understanding and open to questions. If you work hard and do the work, you will get good marks. Can learn a lot in this course.
Kristian Weihs is an excellent professor. He makes sure he is clear on what needs to be done and plans ahead when assigning homework and upcoming projects. He responds to emails quickly, which is helpful when students may have questions. Enjoyed this class very much!
He doesn`t bother to explain the lectures. Even if you don't study psychology as a main subject, you simply won't have time to do something else. If something is unclear, he will send you to figure it out on your own. You`ll have a lot of difficult tests that are difficult to pass. He says that all you can get in his subject is a grade B
Everything that is written in good reviews does not correspond to reality. All my mates suffered. Since good reviews write about him as if he were a woman, this means that these people have never studied with him. His demands are unrealistic. With a really heavy material, his grades are very unfair and biased
Professor Weihs teaching technique was phenomenal. Super simple, and very accomodating for those who send assignments in late. Overall he is amazing, and I will be recommending his class to my friends.
Prof. Kristian is very helpful and is very kind. His assignments are also creative and enjoyable would definitely take the class with him.
Prof Weihs' PSY204 course was great. He's so kind when it comes to grades. He gets that students have other classes and are human. His course was enjoyable! If you carefully read instructions and reach out about what you don't understand, I promise you don't need Al. Use your creative mind and he will always reward you for that
How would I rate him if he never did any lecture with our class? He just gives readings and tests and that's it.
He didn't teach a single thing. He assigned readings and gave tests, discussion board postings and a big project based on them. No recorded lectures, no slideshows, nothing. He also constantly contradicted himself in his instructions, it made it very difficult to understand exactly what he wanted or what you should study/take note of.
this course is really not what u think it is and u should avoid at all costs. big journal project, discussion boards, two novels u have to read. its fr just the 4 journals thats too much and its stupid cause its about u doing stuff to become happier but its more academic so its not fun. u spend more time on this course than ur program. never take!!
Lectures are engaging and easy to follow, and the tests and assignments are curated in a way that helps me better engage and understand the course content.
Super fun prof, lectures are informative and makes it super easy to prep for tests
The professor has clear guidelines and helpful weekly announcements have been a great support and have kept me engaged throughout the term. I'm really glad I decided to take this course!
