If you get this man, get ready for an A. There is no way to fail this man. He give one paper, midterm and final. All open book. The paper is due basically when you hand it in. He even bought us dinner the first day of class. He's wonderful.
I agree that Prof. Schramm is a great professor. He is caring and understanding and it is a pleasure to be in his class. Additionally, he is super nice and always goes that extra mile. He is great!
Wonderful professor. John Jay should have more professors like him. Always earger to help and go the extra mile for his students.
Great professor and I really feel lucky that I took his class. He is very caring and understanding, he teaches with his heart. I wish that all of John Jay professors were just like him. Excellent!
Best professor that I have had in college. Clear, fair and prepared. Best class interaction and activities, period. Power point presentations and handouts for every class. One of a kind teacher. Do not miss taking him. He loves his children and I wish he had been my father! Smart, stories, fun.
Don't miss taking this guy! I could not believe the intensitiy of his classes. I have NEVER had perfect attendance in a college class before taking Dr. Schramm's class. He is the most interesting and dynamic professor you will ever have. Every class had "gotcha" teaching exercises! I loved this man.
Taking Dr. Schramm was the most wonderful experience in my educational background. He actually listens to students and gave extra time when I had personal problems. He is really a one of a kind professor. Do yourself a favor and take this man. He is my hero and mentor model for my future challenges.
Dr. Schramm is the greatest. I am taking a second class with him this semester and am looking forward to being able to spend another class that will teach me more about being a good clinician. I cannot believe that he was willing to teach here in New York. This is a man who loves to give. Take him.
Professor was my best teacher. He made his class interesting and I learned a bunch. It was not a class I thought I could like but Professor made want to learn new things. I never had a man teacher like Professor who treats students like equals. I wish I took him again. He is a good man.

He is easy! Take him. I don't why the person gave him an average rating, cause Scharamm rocks. There is always one that wants to give a great professor a bad rating when they don't need one.
Best teacher I ever had. The only way this man could get a poor rating is to never had attended his great classes. He is a class act. He has lived what he teaches and knows more about the subject then a student could ever learn in a single semester. Don't miss taking him. A 5-Star guy!
Easy A. Very classy guy, Very nice and warm hearted. When he found out I did not buy the book until the midterm, he gave me a gift certificate to barnes and nobel so I can get the book ASAP. He knows his stuff very Well. Enough can not be said about him. This guy will give you the shirt off his back if you need it. Take him, cant go wrong
Simply the best teacher you could ever have. Take him before he moves on to a larger university. You will never believe how good a teacher can be until you take this professor. He is number 1 in all areas.
I just had the best class at college level, ever! This is the most dynamic professor you will EVER take! The class actually clapped after Prof Schramm finished a class exercise. This is a man I could take forever! You should too! What a man!
Schram I LOVE U. ur the best JJAY has.most of the teachers at jjay suck, this guy is the BEST...take him...ur gone love the class and him too. hes funny, very helpful,very sweet, if u ever need help hes there for u.
I took professor Schramm two semesters in a row he is helpful intelligent and brings much experience into the classroom. I wish he taught on a graduate level his expertise and knowledge would make for excellent course.
I have a HUGE crush on Schramm.
He IS THE BESTTTTTTTTT. if you need a friend,one who cares about his students, that is very approachable, sweet, kind, that is going to help you later on...take Him...and you gone remember him for the rest of you life.

I love you man! Schramm you are awesome, not afraid to cry in front of his students, a real man. Very helpful, very understanding, plus he gives extra credit for not missing any classes. Has real knowledge about the field, FINALLY Somebody!
I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU. YOU SHOULD RUN THIS SCHOOL.
wonderful professor!!! Every prof should be this caring n have an affinity 4 teaching as he does thought this class was gonna b really hard n boring,since it was a 400 level course, but instead i found myself a bit sad that the semester ended extremely wonderful person can't stress enough..... I LOVE YOU.... UR D BEST!!!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT JJAY....DONT BUY THE BOOK....NEVER EVER USED IT...HE USED POWERPOINT, AND TELLS A LOT OF STORIES ABOUT HIS JOB AT THE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC....THE BEST PROFESSOR....LOVED HIS CLASS.....BTW DONT BUY THE BOOK
Why doesn't JJay let Prof Schramm teach at graduate level. He would be the best just like at undergraduate. Clear and passionate. Best class and instructor I ever had! You will not miss a class!
Dr. Schramm is one of a kind. And kind is where his heart is. You will never regret attending his course. I learned more about myself and life listening to this man. Most intense class I ever had. I never missed a class and wished every professor was as smart, nice, and competent as Professor Schramm
Dr. Alan Schramm is simply the best professor you will ever take. This is my second class with him and I would take him any time, any course, for ever! Where in the world did JJay ever find him? I dream about getting to class. I think about learning from him. He rocks my world. I will remember him forever. Brilliant. Funny. Clear. Honest. Cute.
Prof Schramm will amaze you as no other teacher will, focused class presentations and great teaching style. He's a professor that raises class to highest level of learning. I never missed a class, you won't either. I feel Schramm prepared me for graduate school level program. Best professor. Best class.
This is seriously the best teacher at JJay, SERIOUSLY! He's almost like a parent to his students, he teaches us exactly the tools that we'll need for our careers, he uses his own experiences that occur in his job, not like some teachers that just use examples out of a book or something.When you leave his class, you actually leave learning something
You think you had a great professor and class you learned in? WRONG! This the professor and this is the class!!! We learned, experienced and grew up as adults in this class. Dr. Schramm is the greatest teacher you will ever take. We rated him best across every score on his eval. I was told about him now am glad I listened and took him. Do it!
SIMPLY THE BEST. NO COMMENT ON THIS SITE WILL EVER DO JUSTICE FOR THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING IN SCHRAMM'S CLASS. I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR.
This is the first professor I have had that is not only encouraging but inspiring as well to all his students! A true supporter and motivation to become the best throughout college but especially in your careers!! I am taking him again next semester and so should you!!
Are you kidding me? Any student who takes one of Dr. Schramm's classes and actually attends would never score him less than 5 Stars top teacher no matter what class he teaches expects that we read listen learn. Best professor learned lots fair but high expected results.
Best ever
Took Prof Schramm two classes in 09 & 10 and am sad to have semester end. Best all around teacher. Learned every class. Not to miss this guy. jjay got lucky.
None better & you should score any of Schramm's classes. I got B+ & A- in 234 & 476 but learned more than with any other prof. He's inspiring & will hold you attention every class. Do not miss this man. He wants us to be success.
The class is full of energy, and student participation is a must. Is full of interesting and fun anecdotes and info. Very experienced. Vet friendly.
Two class sessions and I love this professor! Never before any level of education have I experienced such dynamic, honest, motivated, funny, intelligent man. I never can miss a class and wish I can take more from Dr. Schramm. Yikes! I got lucky and just never knew about him. Read these notes here are truth about him!
Thanks RMP. Now I do believe he is the best. It took one class.
At first I thought the course was pretty yucky.....but Prof. Schramm truly makes it interesting and I feel more comfortable with the course topic as a whole. He truly knows his stuff and is passionate about it......
Prof. Schramm is a great instructor.He is compassionate & straightforward. My distaste is in the course itself. Sex is something that should be private and intimate between you and your partner. Watching illicit movies & discussing sex openly with classmates is truly NOT my cup of tea. I could not drop the course because it fit in with my schedule
Schramm is the man! what an awesome teacher..he makes the class fun and enjoyable...I've learned so much and literally had fun doing it...he's a vietnam veteran, so make sure you thank him for his service...ps. if you're in the military or graduated from a military academy or college...tell him!....I highly recommend his course.
He was a cool guy in class, pretty funny. Class was fairly easy and you learn quite a bit. My one gripe is that he gave me a B when I deserved an A. I admit when I mess up, this wasn't the case. I asked him for my final exam grade and he hasn't responded for months. I need to go over his head to deal with it, which I never like doing.
Very nice professor... I would take his class if I could.... I got an A...
He is the best professor at jjay..... highly recommended>>> i got an A....
Best class ever. Prof Schramm held my attention and interest like no other teacher. I changed my major so I can be like Dr Schramm. I got B and learned more then any other class before. I hope I can tke him again. Dont miss this man.
Schramm is amazing! I have taken two classes with him and I loved both equally. He is understanding and caring and gives his cell phone number in the event that someone is in desperate need of someone to talk to. He's just an amazing professor!
He is a great professor!! Had him for 2 semesters & he is JUST an AWESOME professor!! LOVE HIM. I got an A in his class. (:
i wish i had met this professor when i started john jay. His class is great and most of the class work are about his life's work.
2nd class & still outstanding professor. Nothing more to say, but.. he's a role model and professional. Never wore same outfit in 28 classes! Classy guy. Don't miss him.
Best professor! Make sure to take him before leaving John Jay College! He makes school more interesting! It's a shame that not all professors are like him! Anyway take him because he will give you the time of your life and helpful life lessons!
He is a great professor! Loves his students and he knows what he is talking about. He's a great leader and very positive. Strict on attendance but every class is so interesting so its better not to miss. Def take him before graduating!
Unbelievable capstone class and professor! This guy knows his stuff and teaches each class session using real case examples from his own forensic career. I never had a class or a professor that provided such real world knowledge with professional insights. Do not miss taking Dr Schramm. Once in lifetime opportunity. Thank him!
Don't miss taking Prof Schramm. Ridiculously down.
Dr Schramm is one of a kind and gives from his heart. I am learning how to think and analyze info about real cases. This guy is the real deal. Miss him miss chance of lifetime. I was lucky I heard about him. Not to miss.
Professor Schramm is THE BEST professor I have ever had! I learned a lot about working with groups and a lot of life lessons as well. He is a fair grader and he gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. He is hilarious and he really cares about all of his students! Take any of his classes! You'll be glad you did! :)
Dr Alan Schramm is the bomb. Miss him & miss opportunity of lifetime. Heard he will be teaching at graduate level so get his class while you can. Notes here do not describe experience of being in his awesome classes.
Professor schramm is one of the best I've had in my undergrad career. Took him for 2 classes, group dynamics and sex. The sex class is REALLY REALLY vulgar but fun as hell. The most humble and best professor you'll ever have, 30 + years in the psych business. Gave out pizza for the class during the final and other treats during the semester. BEST
Just finished senior year that was made amazing because of Professor Schramm. Will miss him and his smile. Learned beyond expectations and will def stay in touch with this man. Take him. I'm teary writing this.
Awesome professor. Made me work hardest to earn my C+. Love him.
Best professor and best class ever. Don't miss this professor.
Thanks for all you do. Experience of lifetime. Not to miss professor Schramm.
Best class I ever had. Do not miss taking dr Schramm. Best prof. Best time.
Professor Schramm is wonderful teacher. I am taking another class from him this semester. Looking forward to his professional approach to helping us learn. He's the best teacher you will ever have. You must take him to understand what a true master teacher is like. Best ever.
Late writing this since I graduated in 2013 but Dr Schramm was an outstanding professor and has become an amazing mentor for me an many other senior circle students. He writes killer recommendation letters and has encouraged his Schrammarian students to do well in all areas of our lives. He is one in millions. Thank him.
Professor Schramm is just an awesome teacher. You miss taking this guy you gonna lose opportunity of you life. When they say DOWN the man is DOWN. He is like a father we never had and a poster guy for who we need to be. Take the MAN.
Schramm knows. As a card carrying Schrammanian after having taken his 370 and 336 classes I'm trying to wring every last drop of wisdom from this final capstone class. Read one or read all of the comments about this professor and you will never know. You must take him. I did. Now I know. Why are you reading this? You don't know. Take him. He's it.
Intense class activities. Innovative teaching. AMAZING professor.
Schramm is the best professor you will ever have and you will never regret taking any of his incredible classes. His level of teaching skill, intelligence, competence, and knowledge of the subject is like no other I (or you?) could ever hope to experience at jjay or any other university. Do not miss taking him! Loved him.
Dr Schramm was understanding and helpful but the class really required reading textbook and a lot of studying for all quizzes and the midterm and final exams to get a good grade. Attendance every class is actually very important. Best class I ever had at JJay and hope to take Schramm again.
If you're serious about learning Group Dynamics, don't take him. Buy the book and save your money. No depth or substance. Lots of irrelevant talks and exercises. Doesn't teach the book, but tests on it. Teaches his own techniques but doesn't tie them into course topic. If you just want a light load (no homework, no paper, no stress) take him.
Who wrote that? I was in that class and attended every class (and so was the 2015 valedictorian) and it was the best class I ever had! We had group dynamic exercises and activities every class and Schramm tells us in his syllabus and during his outstanding lectures that he doesnt teach the textbook. Best professor you can ever take and learn from.
I took that 336 and now am takeing two more from prof Schramm. Don't be fooled. He's the real deal. You can learn more in his classes then from a any other prof. Amazing man.
Best teacher you can ever have. Second class from prof Schramm and he's awesome in every class. Any student who isn't clueless can benefit but attendance is a must. Don't miss him,
Totally agree Schramm is the bomb and only truly clueless non-attenders would think otherwise. he's the best that Jjay has to offer and he gives 100 percent every class. Your significant loss if you miss this professor. These classes complete the triad and his students leave his classes prepared for any future challenge. Incredible man.
Class was best o ever took. What a great professor he is just the best. Learned new stuff every class. Taking Dr Schramm again in intersession. Never to miss this teacher who's fine in all ways.
Simply the best. No comparisons.
Miss Prof Schramm, your loss. Best ever.
Dr. Schramm is popping. I learned so much in his class and he is truly helpful. You must study and read the textbook. If you don't get a A in his class than something is wrong with you
What an amazing professor. This was a three week 12 session intersession class that allowed me to experience learning from the most incredible teacher you could ever have. Every minute of every class we learned from Professor Schramm. By the second week he had learned names of every student. His lectures and vignettes are ridiculously down.
I was lucky enough to take two courses (Psy 336 and Psy 476) with Dr. Schramm, He was a breath of fresh air and I always looked forward to his class. Apart from doing an excellent job teaching the subject matter, he took the time to help me with a personal problem and provided insightful advice for my career. Pick his brain! You won't regret it!
Professor Schramm is so very special. He made extra times for me when I had to miss class about home and family needs. I never met any man like him so was very lucky I heard about his classes and him being the kind of teacher he is. I will pass his joyfulness on to all others at jjay I know. All thankfulness and blessings for him.
Dr. Schramm is way more than any written evaluation can ever attest. I have so many memories that are emotionally tied to the instruction he provided in 336 & 476. Wonderful man. Incredible human being. Not to miss.
Prof Schramm is very inspirational and passionate about his work. You will learn a lot from his lectures and assignments. He will give you insight into the field of psychology, and train you to think outside the box. Best experience was taking his class, it was easy as long as you did the work and payed attention.
Summer session was awesome and Schramm will exceed any and all expectations. He's one on a million. He hosted over 100 grads and alums at his home so we could meet many of his colleagues who are judges,lawyers, doctors and law enforcement professionals who can help us in the future. Love him.
Take any Schramm class cause he's best professor at jjay or possibly any other college and you will learn as never before.
Thank you Professor Schramm. URDBest ever.
Unbelievable teacher. He makes my heart palpitate. I have never learned like this before. Ever. With the semester drawing close I can only look forward to becoming a life long Schrammanian. May God bless this master teacher. I am thankful for his wonderful gift of learning.
Best. Ever.
Schramm is moving on to teach in the graduate program. Get his class while you still can. Just finished the greatest class I ever took. He is just the best teacher in the world. I am a life-long Schrammanian now and forever. May this man be blessed now and forever.
He's a really great professor that eventually becomes a person you can call a friend after you're done. He's been through a lot in his life (good and bad) but he uses those experiences to help anybody who wants to be helped. 100% take his class even if you think you're going to fail.
Unbelievable. RMP rocks. Two classes and I'm blown away. Dr Schramm had been sent from G*d. Believe what any former student tells you. All true and beyond.
I was fortunate to have heard about this professor from friends. He is truly amazing. This is my last undergraduate class but I will take him in the graduate classes he also teaches. Never learned like this before. Incredible.
Schramm is the man. My second class with him and he delivers again. We learn every class and I feel his teaching is the best we all have ever had. Do not miss taking him.
no homework entertaining lectures. he tells us real life cases he has done. very open to talk to. reviews each quiz although they're super easy. he makes you want to come to class to pass you with an A. a few easy quizzes a mid term and final he also reviews for. optional final paper for extra credit
What an amazing professor. This is a Summer Masters course and Dr. Schramm knows what he teaches. He just might be the best professor that I have had in college or my graduate program. If you want to learn about Foresic assessment take this man. All of my classmates have shared similar feelings about his mastery of the topic & teaching skill.
My first graduate class at JJay as a transfer student and this professor is the bomb. What an inspirational man. He teaches with the essence of the consummate professional and brought his career work right to the classroom. Classy guy, no hangups and a solid ego that epitomizes professionalism, competence and a lifetime of caring. Do not miss.
My last class at jjay and wish I had found this professor earlier in my time here. I actually might consider taking graduate course here so I can experience Dr Schramm's teaching again. He's just the best. My chimes are ringing to start into a career that can bode well for my future. Sorry class is coming to an end. Do not miss this professor.
Professor Schramm will rock your world! He's a great teacher, but more importantly, he made every class a true learning experience with in-class projects and real case interviews to let us know what being a professional counselor might be like. First upper level class and hope to take him again.
Schram's the man. He's applies real world learning to his curriculum. You should definitely take him. You wont regret it!
The professor was an excellent teacher, helped me learn alot with his class exercises and help me achieve my academic goal.
Hes awesome!!! He does pull material from the textbook though although its not required but he is over all amazing and cares about you passing his class
Professor Schramm is a wonderful man. He is highly intelligent and a very caring individual. His career experience and ability to teach and willingness to help students is the reason I'm in the FMHC program. We need more professors like him. You will learn a lot while enjoying the material. Thank you for all you do for your students.
Legend! Schramm is such an amazing professor. His qualifications are out of the this world. He has a ton of experience in psychology 30+ yrs and he is willing to help you outside of the classroom. You are missing out on one of the best if you dont take him.
I took him this summer. He is a real gem in John Jay, and I am really glad that I took him. I learned a lot about myself in these 12 days and he is helpful, caring, and accessible outside of class. This man cares about his students, and I'm glad to be one of them.
Prof Schramm defies any written synopsis beyond simply being the BEST. As a teacher.. As a human being. A patriot. A mentor. A mensch. This is a man not to be missed. You will not be disappointed. Check him out since every class he teaches is usually closed as soon as it is made available. I will def take him again.
Dr. Schramm is an excellent professor. He is able to make connections between real/personal life experiences and psychology. Full of energy and awesome stories, this is the one class you look forward to attending and hate missing. He's helped me so much, he's the reason I'm in the FMHC program. Dr. Schramm is a mentor, role model, & amazing human!
Winter Intersession that is a grinder 26 sessions in 12 days but Prof Schramm pulls it off. What a truly wonderful experience being in his class. He taught our Capstone class as a prelude to graduate school. All of his Spring classes were filled but he'll over-tally his senior year students. Take him! Incredible class and professor.
GOD BLESS THIS AMAZING HUMAN BEING!! HE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS AT JOHN JAY. ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM! HIS CLASS WAS SO FUN. HE IS SO BRILLIANT. TBH IF YOU DON'T TAKE HIM YOU ARE MISSING OUT.
One of the best Professors at John Jay. This course specifically was very interesting from the get-go and he just made it even more interesting and fun. I enjoyed his class and hope to take him again for a capestone.
It's not an exaggeration to say Dr. Schramm is a true master of his craft. If you are considering forensics or mental health counseling, you will have made up your mind one way or the other after taking his courses. Do not take his warnings on attendance lightly. Participation and attendance are HUGE.
Best professor at John Jay! Took over the winter semester and Professor Schramm is amazing!! I was excited for class every single day and never wanted to miss a day! We learned a lot of material in 3 weeks but it was totally doable. You need to take this Professor!
This is my 3rd time taking Professor Schramm and he doesn't disappoint. This semester was quite different (Spring 2020) but he helped as much as he could to be accessible. The effort we put in as students he realizes and will help you as long as you care.
Professor Schramm is an amazing man. I learned so much in the span of 12 days. He is a true asset to John Jay. Honestly the best professor Ive ever had. The work was a lot, but did his best to make it as simple as he could. Participation counts A LOT! I will definitely be taking him again.
simply the best!
Schramm is the man! Amazing professor. This is my third time taking him and he hasnt disappointed. Hes helpful, funny and blunt. You learn a lot from this man and he is a blessing to the PSY department. Everyone who can take him definitely should.
This man is literally the sweetest. Although the class was online he made it fun and informative. He's such a great professor, and I truly don't think I will ever come across such an amazing professor again. Definitely recommend taking him, no ragrets. at. all.
Schramm is literally the best professor in John Jay. He is such an angel he is always available after class, you can call him or email him, he gives all of his students so much support and career opportunities. This was truly the best class I have ever taken. Super funny and sweet.
Amazing professor! Now I understand why he gets such incredible ratings on RMP! After just the first two class sessions he really does rock. I will never miss a class. Do not miss taking this professor.
Very excellent Professor who clearly knows a lot about the field. He does talk for a while and uses up all of the class time but it is worth it, each story and case study is relevant and interesting. Do the work, fairly easy assignments can even be done in one sitting honestly if you pay attention. Highly recommend
Best graduate professor I've had in MMHC program. Finally a licenced professional with years of actual counseling experience and expertise. Providing tools that will insure career success. Solid, Pointed instructions of "how to" work with real-life clients. Do not miss this master teacher.
Dr. Schramm is the best professor I have ever taken. Period. The only way to rate him less than 5.0 is to have missed some of his incredible classes or have other issues. The work represented his actual clinical cases. We made a binder to help build a real clinical practice. Do not miss taking course, best at John Jay. Thank you for your expertise!
