Generally a good professor with interesting lectures and relatively easy grading. Only complaint is that powerpoint presentations were not designed very well which lead them to be ineffective.

I absolutely loved this class, and would highly recommend. Definitely don't buy the textbook though, all of the quizzes and tests come from lecture material so as long as you're in class and pay attention you'll do great. His lectures were really engaging and you can tell he loves what he does, and wants you to love it too.

Took this for honors requirements and it ended up being one of my favorite classes because of him. Funny and really invested in the material. He's really helpful when it comes to the honors project as well. Exams and quizzes are pretty easy. Attendance is definitely in your best interest.

Weismer is a wonderful professor, and really brings the material to life. However, do NOT buy the $89 "textbook" that he requires. I read one chapter in the beginning and got an A on everything. Weismer's module is interesting and he is generous with extra credit on exams and quizzes. 4 quizzes, 2 exams total for his module.

This class was an interesting overview of communicative disorders, and Weismer did a great job of teaching it! He is extremely knowledgable and whenever I asked questions he always had interesting answers. The class itself isn't too hard but studying for the tests is definitely necessary to do well

Great lecturer, challenging class. Definitely one of the more difficult Com Dis courses. Tests have very general essay questions that really test your knowledge. I used the book quite a bit. 3 midterms, 1 cumulative final, 2 easy homeworks, 11 quizzes. Lots of opportunity for extra points.
