Reviews of professor Mark Schneider

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Mark is so nice and a great teacher. He responds quickly to emails, lays out what's expected of you during the course from day one. He's lenient on some homework deadlines and grades generously on assignments. Wish he taught more classes!

One of the more irritating professors I have taken throughout college. He rushes through lectures and doesnt explain what he is doing when he writes on the board. He gets lost easily within his own notes. There are homework or quizzes switched every week. The tests arent very difficult if you attend lecture and study the problem sets.

Incredibly intelligent professor with a big heart for his students. He can be difficult to follow in lecture due to his troubles with public speaking. However, he won't leave you out to dry and his tests are exactly like the homework.

I really enjoyed his class. He is somewhat of an awkward guy and the lectures can be a bit boring, but he is always available to answer questions and I do feel like I learned a lot from the class. There are readings every day but hardly anyone does them so the course load is light, theres a map quiz, mid-term paper, in class debate and final.

Dr. Schneider is one of my favorite professors ever. His lectures are very helpful for the exams and show why he does what he does in addition to how to solve problems. Office hours are great, and he always makes sure we understand. Homework prepares us well for the exams too. He has a clear passion for both econ and helping students and it shows.

Terrible at lectures. Nothing he said made any sense even after paying attention. The TA taught better than him.

He interrupts you when he asks you questions and you have to say everything the way he's thinking about it for him to say you're right. Didn't learn much that isn't conceptual/from pre-reqs, not really ideal for moving forward with my major

While Professor Schneider tends to move quickly during his lectures and can sometimes be hard to follow, he really cares about the success of his students. During my semester with Schneider, there were bi-weekly alternating quizzes and homework assignments. As long as you can do the homework assignments, then the quizzes should be a breeze.

Ridiculous amount of reading every night to the point where no students would read at all. Easy grader though so most people got As.

His lecture style is rather dry. The material isn't really difficult but I feel like occasionally he overcomplicates things which means you have to try to parse it for what's actually essential to know. I stopped attending class around October but still did fine by reading his lecture slides. The quizzes are exactly like the homework which is nice.
