  He has been one of the best math professors I've taken at csulb. This man goes out his way to answer any math questions/ hw questions, which is beneficial. He has 3 midterms w/ 1 final all say to study my math lab homework as review, which isn't bad but not great. All 3 midterms I received a high B. Then almost aced the final, recommended studying.

  Great professor overall, but be ready to struggle with a lot of homework and assignments. However, the work does pay off when you take the exam and he does explain every concept well. Can be a harsh grader at times, but he does go out of his way to be accessible outside of class and helps as much as he can if you're ever stuck on something.

  Best math teacher I've ever had! He makes lecture somewhat enjoyable even when no one participates. Lab is mandatory but it honestly helps a lot. He explains concepts and answers questions very clearly. He does require SA attendance for some. Tests are always out of 105-110% so it is easy to get good grades. Take him if you can! Best calc 2 prof.

  By far the best calculus professor I've had. He is a fantastic teacher and is great at answering questions if you have any. The tests are very similar with the homework and lab questions given. Quite a lot of homework, but only 3 tests and a final. Only mandatory thing you have to go to is the lab.

  Calc II is hard, but he made it enjoyable. He explained the concepts well and was able to go over hw problems if we had any trouble with them. The man is actually funny, whenever he cracked a joke I didn't express any laughter, but on the inside, I was laughing my butt off. Just study the practice problems before taking his exams.

  Weber is an amazing professor! He's very chill and very accommodating to students questions in class. There is a lot of homework at times, but he'll be able to go over it in class. Though, you should also try to stay on top of it and not wait last minute. He has a list of what you'll need to know for your exams (3 midterms and 1 final).

  Weber is an amazing professor! He explains the material so well and it honestly even isn't that hard. If you like computational material, this class should be easy. 3 midterms and they havent been too hard. MML every week but not too many problems. Only "negative" is he can get behind in material because he answers all questions about HW. Take him.

  This class was quite stressful and definitely not worth taking online. Lots of WebAssign homework, textbook problems, and in-class activities that he grades pretty flexibly on. Focus on the lectures! Total of 3 exams, 1 cumulative final. Only curved the final. Very difficult exams, wished he gave more time. Professor was nice but was too strict ):

  One class problem and MML every class session, 7 quizzes, and one final. He drops 2 lowest class problems and replaces one quiz with the grade of ur final if it's higher. He's a nice professor who wants his students to succeed in math. If he makes a mistake, you just have to let him know and he'll fix his errors.

  Professor Weber is a really nice person. He cares about your understanding of the concepts being taught and genuinely tries to help you achieve a higher understanding of calculus. I'm not very good with mathematics but I still managed to get a B with minimal work. I didn't always do my homework and leisurely studied for tests. 5/5 would take again.

  Pretty straightforward, 3 tests 1 final, homework due on test days, very similar to tests. My one complaint is that we're always behind due to him allowing for students to ask homework questions in class. This led to us being behind in lectures and super rushed at the end. Rec. that only asks q's in office hours to prevent rushed lectures

  Great Professor. He uses WebAssign but it's only worth 10%. No quizzes, does activity instead and they can be done with other people in class. His explanations were very helpful and understanding. He moves hw if necessary and goes over hw questions during lecture. Test were not difficult if you did practice test.

  Richard Weber was a really chill professor. The usual, 3 midterms & a final, all pretty easy if you study for them. You can raise your grade a bit with homework & the "labs" which is just like 1-2 problems you do in class. He drops lowest exam grade which helps. I liked his class and I have no complaints, returns graded things promptly too.

  Dr. Weber is alright. His lectures are clear and his homework and worksheets are similar to the exams. My only complaints are that we're sometimes behind schedule and his exams are too long and tedious in a limited amount of time. Luckily he drops the lowest exam if you get a better score on the final. Not too bad of a professor.

  Prof Weber understands that Calc 2 is a harder subject and breaks it down so you understand the concepts well. He'll stop in the middle of his lecture to re-explain if you have any questions/confusions. Webassign and midterms are critical to passing this class. Go to SA if you're not feeling confident. He's very helpful during OH too. He's great!
