BRAE 335 Junior Grade Earned: B Elective 8:51 pm, Mar 27, 2012 Report Evaluation		gary and his 335 class are the best. i don't know how i only got a B+ but i'll take it. overall great class with a VERY knowledgeable instructor. take it with Mr. Dr. Gary before he retires cuz it surely won't be the same after he is gone

BRAE 129 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 5:31 pm, Dec 10, 2010 Report Evaluation		He is the man and one of the nicest guys ever. Amazing class.

BRAE 129 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 10:46 am, Mar 30, 2010 Report Evaluation		easy class as long as you show up and give two cents. Weisenburger is a beast too

BRAE 141 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 2:39 pm, Jan 4, 2009 Report Evaluation		If you go to all the lectures and labs, it's an easy A. I have no idea where some of these people came up with the idea that he's sexist, but maybe it's because most girls aren't able to get their hands dirty with heavy machinery. I'm a girl, and had a lot of fun. I also got a good grade and I missed a few classes. Pay attention and try to enjoy it

BRAE 142 Sophomore Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 12:19 pm, Sep 18, 2007 Report Evaluation		For all the girls who think Gary is sexist, He isn't. If anything he favors girls because there aren't that many in our major. Gary knows a lot about what he teaches because he has been around it all his life. Gary is a hilarious person and can teach you a lot.

BRAE 432 Senior Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 7:36 am, Apr 2, 2007 Report Evaluation		GARY IS A SEXIST JERK. NO MATTER HOW HARD A GIRL BUSTS HER ASS IN THAT CLASS SHE WILL NEVER GET A GOOD GRADE

BRAE 142 Junior Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 2:25 pm, Dec 13, 2005 Report Evaluation		ATTENTION FEMALES: most of the people in this major are men. However, for the few females in this course and in any course gary teaches, make sure you keep track of your grade. Gary is sexist.. he makes sexist comments in class, he gives women lower scores on labs and other assignments. It is very difficult to get a solid A as a girl in his class, and its a reality that many of us women have to deal with. Its not a funny thing. its very serious. I have been a straight A student all my life, and worked very hard in this class, harder than most of my male counterparts. Unfortunately, sometimes your best isnt enough when you choose a major such as brae or asm.



BRAE 432 Senior Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 11:13 pm, Jun 15, 2005 Report Evaluation		For the first time Gary teaching this structures class, he did quite good. You'll learn about cement, roofs, and touch on materials. Take his class!

BRAE 335 Junior Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 9:00 pm, May 30, 2005 Report Evaluation		Teacher definetly knows his material. Show up to class and you will get an A. He has favorites in the class though, and if you're not a favorite, he doesn't really care to help you.

BRAE 344 Junior Grade Earned: A Elective 6:26 pm, Aug 11, 2003 Report Evaluation		Gary is the best instructor ever. He will go out of his way to make sure that you understand the subject and know what you are doing. Sometimes he will just stand back and watch you fumble around but he will never lead you astray. Take Gary's classes even if they are not required, you will learn more from him than 90% of the teachers on campus.

BRAE 240 Freshman Grade Earned: B Elective 8:56 pm, Feb 26, 2003 Report Evaluation		Gary is a pretty laid back guy. He was always helpful when i needed it and always gave the right advice. He is also a very fair teacher. The only reason i got a B+ in this class was a demise of my own stupidity. He is such a great guy that he fixed the class dinner one night.

BRAE 237 Freshman Grade Earned: C Required (Major) 11:46 am, Feb 26, 2003 Report Evaluation		Mr. Weisenberger is a regular cut and dry teacher. he uses the regular scare tactics in the beginning of the quarter to snap u into shape. he wants PERFECTION. I was more scared about using the right pencil lead than I was completing his huge labs. Get used to going into overtime for this class, 4+ hours easily. My recommendation is to buddy up with the smartest people u can find in the beginning group selection. If not you will be subject to the wrath of his red pen.Try to understand his pre lab description, cause i found that both of my partners would miss the same information. Play his game and jump through the hoops and u will come out average. I don't want to imagine what u would have to do to get an A.

BRAE 237 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A Required (Major) 11:34 pm, Oct 20, 2002 Report Evaluation		gary is an interesting guy, he babbles out some nonsense about putting tools back in your field box or they "disapear" in the "knee-high grass" which is actually shorter than my lawn. He has a FAT combover that accentuates his retardedness when he's talking to himself in the bovine pastures(he does that frequently while teaching surveying). Any potential BRAE students should avoid this man like the plague, oh yeah and don't use your Range Poles for polevaulting the fence, it just doesn't work, trust me.



IME 143 Sophomore Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 8:42 pm, Aug 1, 2001 Report Evaluation		Mr. Weisenberger has the practical knowledge that more and more instructors at cal poly seem to be lacking. Mr. Weisenberger is an everyday machinest and his expert knowledge of the material show in his ability to convey the information. I highely recomend anyone to attend his class he also teaches IME 142, you will get some practical experience from his real life examples.

IME 142 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 3:59 pm, Jun 25, 2001 Report Evaluation		Weisenberger's lab for Welding is the choice to make. Only three lab reports are required for the whole quarter, and they are graded more-or-less on how much and how well you fill them out. Projects are graded on how much you try, too. He weights the lecture grades very lightly, since, in the IME department, the lab instructor assigns the final grade. This is very helpful, because Prof Strahl writes ridiculous tests and gives weekly quizzes. The guy knows what he's talking about, and skimming the lab assignment before class helps to fill in the grey areas in his demos. He says, "Here again" frequently, even for material he's never addressed before....at least in that lab section, anyway.

IME 143 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 10:27 pm, Apr 8, 2000 Report Evaluation		Weisenberger is a good teacher. He has a ton of real world knoledge, being a machinist by trade. He is generally very helpful, but sometimes he can get irritated if you do something stupid. His lectures are interesting, and the labs are really fun. Take some notes, and don't miss any assignments (like I did), and you will do well.
