  1. Dr. Weller is by far the most engaging and enthusiastic teacher I have had at Michigan. It is clear that he loves teaching Physics. In studio, he would always go to each group to check in with them and ask questions to confirm that we understood the content. He was always receptive to questions and was very easy to talk to. He responds very promptly outside of class and is very receptive to feedback. Especially when he taught online Physics 250 in the spring semester. He took feedback very seriously and changed class and grading so students would be more satisfied with the class. He worked very hard for each of his classes to confirm that he knew the material and could teach it properly. His enthusiasm made it much easier to pay attention and learn material. My first teaching experience was with Dr. Weller and he helped me understand how to teach students and tried to guide each of us. I have the utmost respect for him and I would recommend him to anyone taking Physics.

  2. Dr. Weller is hands down one of the best professors I’ve had at the University of Michigan. With so many pre-med students and such large course sizes, it can be hard to feel like you get individualized attention, but Dr. Weller truly changed that experience. He is kind, energetic, funny, and genuinely personable, which made the class environment engaging and supportive.

    I’m not typically a student who attends optional sessions, but because of how effective he was as an instructor, I didn’t miss a single optional Physics workshop. I also attended nearly all of his office hours and exam review sessions. His teaching and support were a huge reason I was able to finish Physics 250 with an A after earning a B+ in Physics 150.

    I truly couldn’t recommend Dr. Weller more highly.

  3. I took Physics 150 with Dr. Weller and he exceeded my expectations for the course. Although I found the content itself to be hard, Dr. Weller was always so well spoken and clear on the subject that it wasn’t hard to understand. During lectures, he would always showcase live experiments and talk like a TV host, which made them much more entertaining and enjoyable. It is evident that he truly loves teaching and is very passionate about the subject. During office hours, he would often crack jokes and lighten the mood, which I believe is very valuable. 

    This was one of the first STEM classes I took at UofM and it has truly been an unforgettable experience. I genuinely felt like Dr. Weller alongside his GSIs and TAs wanted me to succeed in the class, and I believe my peers agree. There were always plentiful resources and practice problems to prepare us for the upcoming exams. Moreover, Dr. Weller is extremely fast when it comes to responding to emails/questions, 10/10!

  4. Dr. Weller has been my favorite professor at Michigan. He truly cares about his students success and I felt extremely comfortable always asking him questions or meeting with him. He shows so much enthusiasm teaching, and it kept me very engaged even in morning classes. Even after three hour review sessions, he would stay late past 9 pm to help me. If you can take physics with him I highly recommend it.
