Reviews of professor Stephen Schaf

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I chose to take a chance with this professor after having no other options for my schedule. I read these reviews and hoped that Schaf wouldn't be as bad as they said he was but I was sadly wrong.

He is a good professor although he does give very long lectures, he provides good information in those lectures and wants you to succeed to the best of your ability. He is a very nice guy, and wants you to get feedback from your peers, and gives you time to work, on the assignments, instead of barely giving you any time.  He is very passionate.

Stephen had us buy about 100+ dollars worth of text books and materials that ended up not even being used. in addition to design projects we also had exams and quizzes with readings which was painful.
