She was a great teacher even though it was a 7:30 class. She was very helpful and always helped people when they needed it.

For BUSN 40, don't read the book, just make a comprehensive list of vocabulary words by chapter from it and study that. I passed with an 'A' easily with her. She dresses professionally and addresses you in that way too. Her best students, like me cuz of that aforementioned sheet, get to do a fun project instead of doing a written assignment. JT
SHE IS AWESOME!!!
Really good teaching skills!
Ms. Weaver is a very fair instructor. You are expected to read the chapters before class, and you will do well if you pay attention. She provides a lot of extra-credit opportunites which is cool. The environment in her class is comfortable and under control, but not uptight. There's a huge emphasis on class participation through answering quest
This is the best instructor I have ever met. She gives lots of extra credit, she is very clear with the material. To get an A in her class is a piece of cake, as long as you read the chapters and listen in class. She is also a very fair instructor.
BUSN ethics - excellent teacher. Was extremely fair to our class, letting us retake tests we bombed and giving extensive extra credit opportunities. Guides discussions but doesn't dominate them, so if you have an opinion it will be heard. Super professional and nice, doesn't mind going off topic every now and then if you have a serious question.
Show up to class, read chapters... and bring your book to the tests! Very nice... I recommend her!
Amazing teacher and very helpful. Made class alot of fun
Dr. Weaver's style of teaching is one of the best I've ever encountered. Her lectures are easy to understand and engages with her students. You MUST read your assigned chapters to pass this course. As far as the hw assignments, she will give you half points if you simply answer them. You have to go into details. Nonetheless, she is an excellen
She's an excellent teacher. She gives a ton of work for only a 3 unit class, but overall she does very well.
Dr. Weaver is one of the best instructors i have ever had, she is extremly professional, she shows a lot of respect towards her student. she is a very fair grader with lots of extra credit oppotunities. Show up to class,read the text book,do the written assingmets and you will get a good grade. Very Fun classs!
Was pretty easy.
Weaver was informative, but rather, my way or the highway. Then again, what boss or professor is not that way. I would highly recommend her class(s); she is skilled at what she does. My only tips: know your terms, don't blow off tests, and do well on the essays.
Excellent instructor! Hands down of the best business instructors at LPC. Very knowledgeable, always willing to help students. Exams were straight forward. Review the study guide and you'll do great. Assignments are easy too. Read the book and you'll do fine. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to take a business class with her, particularly 40.
I took her online Mark50 class, and i loved it...she is very helpful and nice. but you do have to do work to get an A. it's not hard but you can achive it.
Great class.
I am on the fence with this instructor, because right now I am taking her online and she does not respond to you email right away. Her syllabus is overloaded and not clear. If you want to succeed in this coures learn the syllabus like the back of your hand, that was you will miss anything.
She's awesome. Taking Business 18 with her. Very helpful and understanding. Chapter tests are online, and there are weekly terms quiz, but she allows you to work in groups. I recommend taking her.
Class wasn't an easy A but it was possible to get an A. STUDY TERMS. Very fair class! Do your work and do the extra credit, you'll do perfectly well.
For Bus 40, you have to work hard to get the grade you want. Attendance is a must in a daily basis. Shes absent alot but she expects alot from her students. But overall shes average.
Her online law class wasn't well organized, and she experienced many technical difficulties this semester, but the simple fact that the quizzes were online made things manageable. Assignments are not difficult, so just read the textbook to get work done.
She is really passionate about what she teaches. Intro to business was the best with her! Memorize key concepts and go to class! If you put in the time, you will get an A.

She did a lot of hands on things. She kept the class involved in the lecture. The tests are very long but you get a cheatsheet. This is my second class with her. I would recomend. Just show up, pay attention, and know the terms and concepts.
Took it online. quizes are easy if you read the chapter. The assignments are pretty easy overall, but you have to be serious about them and do lots of research. Fair grader. Answers back emails within a couple hours with clear answers.
Excellent teacher. I had her for Business 18. Exhibits expert knowledge in subject. Has worked in the industry professionally for many years, adds credibility to her teaching. Class is not easy so do not take unless you are actually interested in the material. She is extremely professional and fair. Treats the students with respect.
Meh. She is a good teacher, but there is just something about her lectures that don't feel quite right: either forced or something else completely (maybe unorganized). I wouldn't avoid her, and she is probably the best Business teacher at Las Positas, but there is something about her that I just don't like, and I cant quite place my finger on it.
I took her in Spring 2010 and earned a "B". If I had gone to class I'm sure an "A" would have been mine. She is GOOD; patient, encouraging; disappointed when you don't do your best.
I'm currently sitting in the class right now while im writing this :-x .. i think shes a great teacher i like the teaching atmosphere. shes really nice, calm, and focused. hw isnt too bad its just enough to make u learn, im taking a hybrid class so most hw is online.discussions during class about cases. ill post again after ive completed this class

I don't see what others see. She is unorganized, cryptic and looks for one specific answer in a law class which is difficult to do. She has zero people skills and has no interest in lecturing, she will let the book teach you. I personally do not mesh with this woman
She's awesome.I think I'm n the same class as 1 of the others & suggest he try someone else rather than trash an exlnt prof. Tough class but I learned A LOT; she is demanding, but fair; encouraging, patient, expects u to do ur best. Not a pushover.Attendance:U need to be there.Let's u know ahead when class is cancelled.
Returning to post after I completed the class as promised. Awesome class. shes human, understands situations and works with you. nothing bad to say about her. few dates changed like every class does, othr than that great teacher. she brought starbucks and donuts the last day! I learned a lot in the class that has helped me out of class. score
Really knows her stuff. She has high expectations for all; is disappointed by students who don't try and don't care. Attend class and participate. She is very professional; her business experiences really make the class interesting.
the class was challenging but she was very helpful.
I had Dr. Weaver for business law fall 2010. She is a very nice lady and willing to help students. I learned the trick to the class is showing up, and not necessarily reading the book, just understanding the material. And doing good on assignments is almost a guaranteed good grade.
I took BUSN40 online. It is pretty much self paced because the deadlines are fairly apart from each other. Do all the assignments and discussion board and you should be good. Test are not too hard but they are timed, so glance the chapters before testing. Dr. Weaver is helpful and not too picky. I would its an easy class.
she is good teacher but the martials are hard
she assigns too much homework at once, she talks for long periods of time about things that are irrelevant, and assigns class work that takes at least 30 minutes at the last 10 minutes of class
I have taken several classes from Dr. Weaver and really LOVE her. She does push you to perform quickly - I hated that - but it has been really helpful at work. She expects participation. Gives lots of opportunities to succeed. Knows her stuff and more.
Dr. Weaver is my best and she I took her in class bus. 18 ad online MKTG 50, even thou I got low grade on MKTG but it was my fault misunderstood that i had gd grade. if u have 900 then u will nt take final. best teacher ever.LOTS OF extra credits. if u miss things she helps u do for some points. so clear in her teachings. best ever take HER!!!!!!!!
Inconsistent, unorganized and tries to intimidate her students. Bible sized syllabus that you'll be direct to over and over. BUT then she changes the rules of the game so often you cant tell if you are coming or going. Hoped for better. Big disappointment.
Super organizaed; uses the text; adds lots of materials online. so far so good; syllabus is long, but everyting is in it. our in class work is fun and really helps. Posts points regularly; responds to e-mail;class is really larg.
Horrible teacher. Her lectures do not cover much. She loves to pick on students to answer questions. I personally thought that it was a waste of class time, having to wait for students to answer the questions. Love to brag about her past credentials.
Professor Weaver has great material and a good personality, but when it comes to making sure you stay on top of material, and clarifying homework, things aren't so great. Her online syllabus is as fat as a textbook and its difficult to tell which assignments are due and when. Most exercises have due dates, but papers and things do not...
Very strict on late assignments. Will not bend or try to compromise with you. Syllabus is very long and assignments are even longer. She's out of touch with reality, final was 12 essays in 2 hours. Doesn't care about students. Won't put in the effort to make sure you're doing well. Won't notify you if you're doing bad. I would not take her again.
Professor Weaver is very enthusiastic about her subject but when it comes to being enthusiastic about helping her students succeed? The energy is not there. Hard to get an A in the class although if you have 900+ points (in your dreams) at the end of the semester you don't have to take the 12 essay final. Woohoo!
I took BUSN40 on campus with this teacher and Business Law and Intro to Marketing Online. I thought she was a great teacher and helped guide me in the right direction when I needed help. I loved the fact that I didn't have to take the finals due to having an A before the end of the semesters.
BUS.LAW WAS TOUGH; BUT knew that going in.Dr.Weaver knows her stuff.She does just about anything to help you;won't do it for you;due dates are due dates;a reality of life.Mktg was fun even online.Lots of work, but what do you expect?Got an A in Marketing(900 points and didn't have to take the final)& a B in Blaw.I learned a lot;worth the time!
Learned a LOT. Provided a grid calendar as well as a text one. Very detailed directions; easy to follow if you read. IT IS AN ONLINE CLASS. Good feedback on assignments; questions got detailed answers. Lots of opps to do well. Stay on top of the due dates.
This instructor is very rigid. She leaves students with little to no room for error. Her syllabus is as thick as a novel because she is very picky about everything. She is very scattered and unorganized. For instance the due dates for assignments are scattered all over the 15 pg syllabus which makes it difficult to stay on top of things.
The teacher has control issues. If you send her an email asking a question she is irritable and defensive. Her syllabus is extremely confusing and bazaar. Simple information is on 3-4 different areas of blackboard. Why not just put all due dates on one page? Too easy I guess.
If you ask her questions about her syllabus she is evasive and rude. She is insulted and offended if you ask her to clarify her confusing instructions
I took her online marketing class and she had the most unclear syllabus ever! I emailed her asking a question & never received a reply back. Plus,I spent hours upon hours for days working on a project only to have it sent back to me saying "it's a good start" without being given feedback on WHY. Do not take her Classes.
Tons of projects & assignments, most are straightforward. I lost points mainly due to unexplained formatting errors. Completely scrambled calendar (ex: work would be due for chapters read a month ago). Online tests are detailed multiple choice but open book, aren't heavily weighted either. Overall a very doable course but can be very irritating
Lisa was a friendly teacher. I sat front row and immediately became on good terms with her. I talked to her often and listened to her lectures. She was entertaining and thorough, I learned a lot about law! I finished the class with an A and I am glad I took the class with her. Very nice lady.
She is a very good teacher. She knows a lot about what she teaches and seems to truly enjoy teaching. I don't agree with most of her ratings because yes, she is a little rigid, but if you don't participate, then you will not do well. As long as you display an interest and participate, you WILL pass. I really enjoyed her class & her teaching style.
I do not recommend taking a business class w/ her in that she cares more about her being right then helping her students. Extremely offensive, and not easy at all to communicate with; she portrays herself as superior to everyone always bragging about her credentials, I'd prefer to hear learn business. that is if she ever emails you back!
Good teacher. She is very clear on what she wants done. Gives you plenty of extra credit opportunities and if you have an A at the end of the semester no final. She is kind of rude though when you ask her questions. She knows her stuff though. I would take her again.
Highly recommend! Her class is set up so everything is easy to find, assignment instructions are very clear, & there is plenty of extra credit offered. Even more important was how nice she was. I could email her with questions/concerns at any time & she would reply promptly w/ thoughtful answers. You could tell she really cares about her students!
LW sets her class up to succeed. Her detailed calendar clearly states when the multiple assignments are due. An A is attainable as she offers much extra credit throughout the semester. The class is challenging but engaging. She is a good facilitator and the student is given many opportunities to work with and build relationships with classmates.
At first the class seemed to be intimidating and overwhelming. If you break down the components of the course it is very manageable. Her expectations are very clear. So long as deadlines are not overlooked, you can tailor the homework, tests and assignments to suit your needs. The course was informative and Dr. Weaver's guidance was excellent.
Dr. Weaver is a great teacher! The class material was pretty difficult but she was very knowledgable and helpful about everything. She always stays up to date with current news and starts up interesting discussions to get class rolling. She offers a lot of extra credit so I think an A is achievable with effort.
By far the best online teacher I have ever had. She responded to emails, assignments were clear. Extra credit all over the place. Made it easy to learn and pass.
absolutely wonderful professor, really knows what she's talking about, but gives a lot of assignments. a lot of them are easy points. just do what she assigns and you'll be fine. also there's a LOT of extra credit. take advantage of it. i finishes the semester with 40 points EC and i won't say i didn't like that.
She's an extremely reasonable person. Will give a lot of assignments, which is why it may be crucial to start them early and do them bit by bit when you have some extra time. Also gives plenty of extra credit, so capitalize on that. Only complaint is the way she wants your emails to be formatted, but it's understandable as she has a lot of students
Just finished the class; earned my A & learned a lot. Not easy, but worth it. Assignments added to the understanding. Hated doing the research paper surprised that I loved it when I was done. In class group work was helpful & surprised that other students participated much more than in my other classes.
Very passionate about business, and wants you to do well in her class. Must stay on top of syllabus to know when various assignments are due. Gives chances to retake tests, as well as plenty of extra credit assignments. Stay on top of readings, participate, and you will do well in the class.
I took this her online Business 40 class. It's not too bad. She give 3 papers you have to write, but she gives you a month to do each one of them. You do have weekly discussions and interactive exercises, but you can check your work on all of the I.E. so you can get 100% each time. I probably wouldn't take a class with this teacher again.
Lisa Weaver is one of my favorite Professors ever. She can make any topic interesting. She is knowledgeable, organized and responsible. She is a professional and really cares about her students. Every lecture is an opportunity to grow more professionally and personally.
Solid teacher for an easy A. She doesn't do much, the online connect does most of the work for her. Just make sure you stay on top of your online homework and turn in your essays on time. The exams were pretty easy in my opinion.
She was interesting at first, but quickly became annoying. She expects your homework and papers (3) to be really long and specific. Her grading sucks, but if you get an A you won't have to take the final.
Expects really long and detailed answers for questions that could be answered in one sentence. Her class consists of lectures and group assignments, which she barely gives you enough time to finish. 3 essays, multiple opportunities for extra credit, and like 10 homework assignments. Not the best teacher.
Patient and encouraging. Willing to give as much as you need to succeed. Expects your involvement. Guarantees you will pass IF you come to class, turn in assignments, and take tests - on time. Definitely would take her again. Learned I could do the assignments in class - translated to work skills!
Knows business inside and out; made it understandable . Researched questions to give us more information. Explained how different areas related. Helped understand how life, jobs work together.
Do everything. Do the extra credit. Participate. Liked her a lot. Wish she taught Marketing too. She really seemed to like us. Willing to spend time to explain things.
I'm a vet and returning student. She really cared about my succeeding. Listened. Helped. Wish all teachers were like her.
Tough subject - she knows it well; and takes the time to help you understand it. She had major health issues our semester and missed class but was willing to meet whenever to provide help. Fair and professional. Wants students to learn to think for themselves. Encouraged questions . challenged our reasoning.
Best online class I've taken. Responds to email really quickly. Loves questions about twhat we were studying. Gave LOTS of extra info. Interesting assignments but not easy.
(late start class) class is easy but disorganized. None of the students were able to access assignments . Everyone was confused and had questions on other stuff. She wasn't active and didn't reply for a month. She finally comes out of nowhere & later suggests to make assignments that were due before, needed to be done last min during finals week.
Took her late-start online class. She's an extremely sweet lady, answered all of my questions and responded really quickly. Seemed a bit overwhelmed however, and the class ended up a bit disorganized. I wouldn't recommend her late-start class, but I have no doubts that she's a good teacher, just was a bit out of her element here.
She is a wealth of knowledge in business and business law, though I would not take a class by her again because that she expects extremely long and specific answers to any question and it's very difficult at times to understand what her expectations are. Because of this it can be difficult to receive good grades even when you may know the material.
