Reviews of professor Alan Schenkel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. S is probably one of my favorite professors! While immunology is hard and can be extremely frustrating, he does his best to make it an accessible subject to everyone. Even if you're struggling, show him that you're trying and he will do his best to make sure you get the score you want on exams.

Didn't really contribute much to the lecture.  Should've stepped in when other coteacher was running us into the ground.

Schenkel is an amazing professor and truly cares about his students. He has a very calming presence and is very helpful in office hours.

Things are taught completely out of order and the due dates of grades and quizzes is constantly re-shuffled. You will have to take notes at the speed of light and then completely re-organize them as he is just spitting random facts at you in no particular order. To pass you'll need an extra 2 hours a day to review and re-organize your notes.

This class inspired me to focus on immunology and possibly pursue a career as an immunologist.

MIP342 is a horribly structured class and Dr. Schenkel and Izzo should stick to research and stay out of the classroom. Instead of building from the basics of immunology, this class just spews an absurd amount of information at you without connecting anything until the very end. There is a lot of disconnect as there are three professors. Horrible.
