Reviews of professor Scott Schiff

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I don't believe Schiff deserves the criticism he gets. I found Schiff to be very straight forward and his lectures weren't the best but gave you a good idea of the concepts talked about during class. Beware of curveballs on tests, there is always at least one curveball on each test.

Thanks for wasting my time and money, Schiff. You shouldn't be teaching statics, you hate it and you know it.

He reads out loud from the online textbook and solves the problems available. He does not explain the content clearly; he is not personable. He does not seem to care one bit if we learn.

Lots of homework and huge project worth almost nothing. He has unrealistic expectation of students on exams. Will not tell you anything about curve. Think you hate him after structural analysis? Wait until you have him for concrete. AVOID AT ALL COST

This is singlehandedly the worst professor at Kstate. I have taken this class twice now trying to pass and still dont think I will this semester. He doesnt help when you ask for it, he treats the students awful, and brags about himself. You have 7 exams and a final worth 88% of your total grade. He doesnt curve and just tells you to get better

A ton of homework unrelated to our tests. You can tell doesn't want to put time into you as a students unless you are in the top "15 percent" of his class. I didn't learn anything and now have no more interest in anything structural. I use to love learning about structures, but after this class I can't stand them...

Doesn't use any authenticity when lecturing, he just reads slides from the online textbook. Might as well not even go to his lectures and read the textbook on your own. Worst professor that I've had, by far.

He is a very tough teacher and his tests are pretty difficult and long. He is a great guy if you do what you're suppose to do and visit him regularly. Lots of homework and don't be afraid to ask him for help, even if it is almost daily. It will all pay off, trust me.

I spent countless hours on assignments and got 0s in return. I asked for help from my brother who was a senior in engineering and got a 40 on that assignment. Avoid Schiff at all costs!!!

Overall, I don't think he is as bad as people make him out to be. The course has a clear structure, and I found him helpful outside of class. He is just not great at explaining things and his lectures are quite dry. Also, you have a lot of homework but tests are what make up most of your grade.
