Reviews of professor Peter Schadler

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Schadler was amazing during my FYS. There were so many readings assigned that I felt we couldn't deeply cover each, however, Schadler ensured that each student understood the content of the reading. He valued every student's opinion during discussions and encouraged students to step outside their comfort zones and explore unfamiliar concepts.

Professor Schadler is very invested in his subject matter and loves to engage with his students, whether on the topic of the day or anything that may come up. Sometimes the readings can be a bit much and lecture pacing can go between too fast and too slow. But overall, it's a good environment and not as stressful as many classes. Learned a lot.

Professor Schadler is a very informative and chill professor. Content is interesting, attendance is not mandatory, and he definitely works to ensure students are not overworked. He gave students with a B or higher at the end of the semester the option to not take the final, which was a life saver. Would highly recommend taking a class with him.

TONS of reading every night. I often felt he was disorganized and it was his first time reading the materials as well. Never seemed overly prepared to lead a discussion or able to direct it in a meaningful way.

He is super nice and doesn't care if you come to class. There's a lot of reading and it is mainly lecture based. There's not many assignments but he grades pretty leniently and is willing to meet. Super personable. Love him!!

I had Prof. Schadler for my FYSM "Ideas That Have Shaped the World". While he is a bit unorganized, he is a very pleasant and patient person and incredibly well-read on various topics, including contemporary issues. He leads very thought-provoking discussions and values participation from all students. Tough grader on writing, but for your benefit.

Professor Schadler is extremely misleading with academic expectations. Tries to be funny and cool but is not. The work is tough and pointless and the readings are way to long. This entry level course is more challenging than it needs to be. He is a stickler for attendance. DONT TAKE PETER
