amazing professor, made class interesting and material easy to understand. weekly discussion posts, but they were pretty easy, just needed to ask questions about the text.

You need to read to be ready for discussion. The lectures are clearly explained and the professor is very open to students comments during class discussions. I also liked the brief discussion of contemporary events at the beginning of the class. He's clear with what will be on the exams so all you need to do is study.

Professor Schafer is very understanding and patient with students, and makes legitimate efforts in making the material clear to the class. I took his writing intensive, and he was very understanding regarding deadlines, and even negotiated to shorten the page count with the class. There is a fair deal of reading, but its very manageable.

Cannot lecture to save his life. Gives too many pop quizzes. Lets students call out constantly. His class is easy but you dont really learn much from him. He expects you to learn everything from the textbooks. Why bother?

He is actually a great professor, the work is really simple. Most of the work are take home and if you participate and he sees you trying he will give you a good grade.

Great lectures that combined very informative presentations with in class discussion. Tests are reasonable (not easy) but he reviews what will be on the test and is happy to answer questions during office hours.

Professor Schafer is a good professor, he really wants his students to learn (that's why he gives so many quizzes). If you enjoy the subject, you're going to enjoy the class.

Lots of reading, quiz due for every class that is on many pages of reading. Definitely on the easier side but lots of work and not really coming out any smarter
