Reviews of professor Eric Schafer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Pre-calculus with Prof. Schafer was the only math class that the material was easily absorbed, I learned quickly and efficiently. 5 stars. His understanding of the topic and execution was exactly what I needed as a student. He genuinely cares about us knowing the material and using it in the real world. Thank you.

You receive 5-7 practice problems per class period and the tests are online through blackboard. He's willing to try and work things out if you are unable to figure it out. He'll take any work you do and give you credit for it. Overall not a bad choice but there are better

I enjoyed this class very much, Professor Schafer's teaching style is easy to comprehend and he goes at a slow pace that allows students to follow along with lectures.

Professor Schafer is really considerate and helpful towards his students and wants them to understand the material. 

You can tell that he wants his students to succeed.

One of the best teachers that I have ever had. His teaching methods allow his students to actually learn the material, and not just memerize it. He relates to the students which makes him feel more like a friend than a teacher. I would highly recommend him.

One of the best Math Professors at San Jac! Teaching methods are superb. He is also kind, patient and caring. I am so grateful to have him this semester.

I really enjoyed taking Professor Schafer's Pre-Cal class as I personally do well working independently. If you are stuck on any questions he is available for help, I also recommend watching Youtube vids if you stuck. He provides practice questions and grading is very easy to understand. I will be taking him for Cal I & Cal II.

You have no homework, but I believe you need homework to practice. Has classwork, but when the test comes materials are not on it. Teach yourself or go to the tutoring center. The class is lecture and classwork and he asks to have students teach each other as he grades papers. If you don't understand he recommends a website.

Puts material on the exam that was not covered in class. Does not use the textbook or give enough practice problems so that people are prepared for what (covered) material IS on the exam.

Professor Schafer was a pleasure and privilege to work with. He is an excellent and knowledgeable professor with great flexibility and someone who keeps the situation and needs of his students in mind. He is very willing to work with us when it comes to assignments and due dates, and is a very good teacher.

I really like the pace you teach at, it makes digesting the material a lot easier.
