Reviews of professor Jeff Schiman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This was my 3rd time taking this class, but he was the first professor that really made sense to me. He doesn't post his PowerPoints, but that gives more of an incentive to go to class. He goes into lots of details and encourages questions to ensure understanding. He is really funny and makes an effort to learn students' names, which I liked.

Dr. Schiman is very difficult. Idk if it was the way he taught or that we were under-prepared for the tests, but it was a VERY difficult class. I am an A student & barely scraped by with a B. If you are interested in Economics then you will be fine, otherwise pick a different teacher. He tries to help with grading, but it only helps so much.

Stay away. Hes a fair professor, just not a good one. Does not give any extra credit, and underprepares you got exams. Does not drop any low test grades. Just a really hard professor teaching a very hard course

I took him freshman year. He writes everything on a whiteboard, so make sure you take notes. That didn't help me much though. Nothing is posted online. The in person practice was okay, but it didn't translate well to the exams for me. Economics just might not be my thing though.

Dont take his summer class. He does not offer extra credit and is not lenient on test material.

Before I took him I was a 4.0 student - not anymore, I barley passed this class. His lecture material is super easy and you think you can do it but his exams and weekly assignments are extremely difficult. If you are good in solving riddles then go for it - if not, stay away. He did not offer extra credit. (I took him online over summer.)

Take Jeff for any econ class, but make sure to study a lot because he only takes attendance and tests as grades! He is very helpful and wants you to pass his class.

I had Dr. Schiman for micro econ and the class was IMPOSSIBLE. There are no notes or power points. The only study tools you have are the notes that he scribbles out on the board during his lecture, so if you miss class you won't have the notes. Your grade is based off of 4 tests and 4 homework assignments, if you do bad on one test you're screwed.

Graded by 4 problem sets and 4 tests. He has a good teaching style and will always clarify something if there are questions. Sometimes he drops hints about what will be on the tests.

loved his class! had him for honors econ 2105 and he is such a good professor! the class is very tough, as well as the exams and you need to be prepared to study a lot but he explained things very well and made econ very interesting! he has a dry personality but he was always willing to give extra help and is a very kind guy
