Joshua Weiss ENGL101S Expecting an A Anonymous 12/09/2024	Dr. Weiss is a great professor - he really seems to care about his students, is honest with us, and gives feedback in time for us to use it on the next assignment. He's very well-learned and has a lot of good things to say. I put a lot of work into this class (maybe too much), but that's what you'll have to do to get an A. DO NOT procrastinate on the assignments, especially the position paper... you will regret it. He's super flexible and understanding as long as you communicate with him! He's also just really funny. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking this class with him.
Joshua Weiss ENGL101S Expecting an A- Anonymous 11/20/2024	Dr. Weiss is a phenomenal professor and great person, he is pretty laid back but don't take advantage of that. you have to put the work in and communicate to make the class work, honestly the word load is fair as long as you spread it out (like any other class :P). effort makes everything and if you ask him questions it WILL benefit you + going to class consistently and reading. he is very nice and will help you every inch of the way if you need it!!
Joshua Weiss ENGL101 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/09/2023	Really good guy he does care and gives good feedback but he is not for the weak. You really have to work for a good grade in his class. He will give extensions if you ask and he is very flexible. Only take him if you are willing to put in the work and a lot of it. It is really hard to impress him, and he doesn't give out many A's.
Joshua Weiss ENGL101C Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/01/2022	Dr.Weiss is a great guy and he's very passionate about his topics. He is pretty laid back but you shouldn't really take advantage of that because i'm pretty sure he secretly keeps track of people who are late to class or like doesn't show up. He is very welcoming but also manages to give you harsh but good criticism. He is not for the weak!!!! BUT, he is very accommodating and will give you extensions if you just ASK. I got a B+ in every single assignment but class participation and the last project got me an overall A- in that class (WHICH I'M HAPPY WITH).
Joshua Weiss ENGL101S Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/19/2022	Dr. Weiss is a very passionate and engaging professor. He genuinely cares about his students improving on their writing skills and how engaged we are with our writing topics. That being said this is a very demanding class and he has high expectations for all of his assignments. He is a pretty tough grader so an A in this class won't be easy but he is willing to help you work for it. The comments he leaves on papers are hit or miss in terms of helping you improve and some of his comments are copy and pastes from other assignments. Overall this is a good class to improve your writing but it will be demanding in terms of work and grading.
Joshua Weiss ENGL101 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/19/2022	Dr. Weiss is a good professor. He is open and honest with his students, which makes for a good classroom environment. He really does care about his students!! The coursework can be overwhelming, but make sure to balance your time wisely. He is always willing to help improve writing and leaves good feedback, but his class is not an "easy A".
Joshua Weiss ENGL101 Anonymous 05/14/2022	Dr. Weiss is an excellent person- he is very engaging and fun to talk to! I enjoyed all my conversations with him and it was obvious that he cared about his students. However, I felt like he graded on the harsher side (I would say I am a mediocre writer however I write well enough to scrape by with an A in a lot of other courses). If you want an A you either need to be an above average writer or willing to spend A LOT of time towards the course. I had an extremely heavy course load this semester and could not spend hours upon hours pouring through and improving my papers. He is always willing to help and improve writing, however this class is not an "easy" A. If you are looking to improve writing definitely take this professor! However, if you do not have a lot of time to spare or are not passionate about writing I do not recommend taking this professor.
Joshua Weiss ENGL101 Expecting an A julia128 06/16/2021	Dr. Weiss is a fantastic professor! Not only does he readily engage with his students, but it is clear that he cared about all of us. He is also funny and his class is fun to attend. I didn't think I needed English 101 but he taught me that I can't just phone in my essays anymore. I cannot recommend him enough.
