Reviews of professor Jeff Schiman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is very educated in the field of economics and clearly knows what he's talking about. The one downside of this course is that if you miss one day, you miss a lot of information since he writes everything on a whiteboard. He is very engaged with the class and provides a lot of practice problems.

I took Professor Schiman for Honors Macro and it was definitely difficult, but rewarding! Showing up to class definitely matters as he gives you a lot of notes to write! He always tied in what we were learning to current events in the world which were very cool! I struggled with the tests at first, so it took me a long time to learn how to study.

professor schiman knew a lot about economics and was very interested in what he was teaching. he was a great professor but you are only graded on 4 exams and 4 hws throughout the whole class. he would be generous and curve / give extra credit occasionally but it is a hard course and you probably wont do well if you miss a lot of classes.

Hes not a bad teacher, he really knows what hes talking about. Im not good at Economics so I thought the class was pretty hard. Other kids in my class thought the class was easy so I think its just personal preference. You have problem sets that act as quizzes which can be hard at times. As long as you study and take GOOD notes youre good.

He is an intelligent person. His Econ of Education course was very beneficial. Attendance is graded. Don't take this course if you want an easy A. He is a fantastic lecturer and explains everything well, however, if you miss a lecture you MUST get the notes. Problem sets & written tests. Read the articles he posts as you have to cite them on exams.

At first, the test were hard because he didn't really give us opportunities to understand the material in class but then he started doing worksheets and they helped a lot in class. Other than that, he's a pretty decent teacher but the tests can still be a little difficult. Just ask for help when you can and you should get by fine.
