Reviews of professor Eric (Guy) Schaffer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Very political and he makes it clear at the start of the class that that's how he will be, but he also makes it clear that you do not have to agree with him and he likes when students push back on his ideas in respectful ways. He's chill and laid back, lectures are kind of boring, but can also be very weird and interesting.

Guy is one of the best professors I have had at RPI! He really cares about students and strives to be the best instructor he can be. Guy is also just all around a very nice person that wants you to be successful. Guy also focuses more on inquiry, which helps you grow individually in the subject being taught and focus on your own professional goals.

He is an amazing professor who actually cares about what you say. Lectures are not mandatory, recitations are. If you talk during recitation, show you are paying attention and show some kind of interest and time investment in your project you'll get an A. Queries are a pain in the ass, though. But overall, he is a fair grader.
