He hardly ever commented on papers. I don't think he spent much time preparing for the class or grading homework at all. He seems to know a lot though.

Very smart guy, but way too much busy work. He lectures every class period and gives many long assignments every week. Also will not let you forget that he has his own book published. Very political--doesn't shove his views down your throat, but it is somewhat annoying because he has something to say about everything.

Schul is a really great guy and he really knows what he is talking about. I learned a lot of really practical things from his class. He does have a habit of talking about things that he thinks are relevant, but really they are not. The textbooks he chooses for this class were really great and I am definitely keeping them.

Dr. Schul is one of the few professors in the education program that practices what the education textooks preach. He truly cares and is passionate about teaching and his students. His textbook is such an easy yet insightful read. You can tell he wrote it to be an improvement to other texts in the field rather than to just make money.

Dr. Schul is great. His class was somewhat challenging, but it mostly consisted of busy work. If you do the work, youll be just fine. He is very understanding and will work with you to help you succeed. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Schul, just beware he may go on some tangents. But, theyre entertaining and shows how passionate he is.

Very kind and caring. I felt that all of the assignments we received were manageable and impactful to my future teaching. The readings are short, assignments easy, and exam was manageable. People say that he is too political, but fail to realize that certain political leaders want to defund education which is our field and we need to know this.

Dr. Schul is the best professor I've had in the education department. Daily coursework is very simple, just answering a few questions and taking a quiz. He knows a lot and is very involved, but you can tell that he thinks his way is the only right way. I wish I had him earlier in the education program; I wouldn't have lost faith in them so quickly.

Although Schul seems to be regarded as a great professor by many, he is very narcissistic. He cannot handle any form of criticism on his class or on himself. As a teacher who is teaching teachers, he should be reminding his students about how feedback is important to make you a better teacher, rather than disagreeing with the feedback.
