Reviews of professor William Schwendner

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Overall nice guy. You definitely need to go to every class and take good notes. Tests are short but some questions are worth 20-30 points and he rarely gives partial credit. Webassign homework is helpful sometimes he just copies and pastes homework questions for exams.

A caring professor, really wants you to do well, dropped lowest quiz grade and curved some and curved some webassign homeworks. You definitely need to study if you want to do well. with that being said the quizzes are easier than the exams. sometimes we uses a whole webassign problem on the quiz. do the webassign it helps a lot.

Professor Schwender is a nice and caring person. As a professor, there are better options. What sucks is that he rushes through his lectures which results in less practice on what is being taught. What also stinks is that he will have a lecture a day before the exam and he expects you to master the material in 1-2 days. His test are nothing like HW

Really fast paced, did not really help well. Leaves very unnecessary comments on quizzes and exams and makes them pretty challenging.

Worst math professor ever. He is extremely fast-paced, tests are extremely hard and he is homework heavy. Out of 40 students in my class, 30 of them had to withdraw just because of how fast-paced he teaches the class. Additional there is no review session in this class, and often times he makes very off-putting comments. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

PROS: He knows his stuff, very fair grader, and has office hours to help you before the test. CONS: Can be strict for no reason, can be rude at times, you will be on your own due to the fact he gives no review guides. Best advice: find a study buddy!
