Reviews of professor April Schantz

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
You can definitely make an A in this class, it's just an annoying class. There is group project work every week and if you're lucky and have a good group with no slackers (nearly impossible) then it won't be too bad. The quizzes are easy as long as you have a book and you get 3 tries to take the quiz. There are no large tests in the class either.

This class would be an easy class if she didn't grade so hard. It is IMPOSSIBLE to make a 100 on any of the group work. There is always some negative feedback about at least 1 thing in the group work so expect to never make a 100 on that. There is group work every single week in the online class. The quizzes are easy, though, as long as you read.

This class is annoying. A term long group project included. Also, discussion posts, chapter feed back, and quizzes. The quizzes aren't bad, they are directly from the book. The feed back and discussion posts however are a nuisance. She never grades them herself and the TA's always have a reason to not give a perfect grade. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

After a couple weeks of the group project I realized Prof. Schantz had created a truly immersive learning environment and I was hooked. Our group only lost a couple points the entire semester. If you get all the instruction & do all of the work you will do great. Will totally be taking her again.

I learned a lot from Dr. Schantz in INP3004. She's really tough on APA formatting -- which is good. Because of her feedback, I learned more from her about APA formatting than from previous professors. She's very clear about expectations, so pay attention to her syllabus. Overall, great course!

Research Methods is not the most fun class out there. It is a requirement that we are all trying to complete. I would 1000% take Dr. Schantz again. I wish she taught Res Methods 2! The class has a lot of work but it is straightforward and her grading criteria is easy to follow. She up, pay attention, and you will make an A.

Wonderful teacher. We used the book plenty (so buy it) and we learned a lot. She is sweet, kind, and a great lecturer. She helps you if you need it and it is a good learning environment. Tests are fair and not difficult. I forget if they were open note or not (was all online because COVID). But I miss her & she doesn't teach RM 2. That made me sad.

The teacher is very nice and usually replies same day. But there is lots of work, group project every week which takes up quite a bit of time, have to do your best plus some to get all points for it. The quizzes are a little difficult.. but you get 3 tries. But like any class, an A is achievable if you work for it.

Dr. Schantz gives you everything you need to be successful. If you do the work, you'll pass. If you have questions, she's receptive and will be glad to help you. I wish I had more teachers like her at UWF.
