I love the man!

I thought his class was rather easy. All you had to do was show up and pretend to be interested. Tests can be a bit harsh but you learn to live with it. I would recommend it if you are serious about politics and really want to learn!

Whatever. I got a B in this class. All you have to do is read the book. This isn't a class for lazy students who don't care about learning.

Read, do the work and you'll do fine.

If you read the book and do the homework, it's pretty easy to get a good grade. There is a lot of homework, but it prepares you for the tests and you get credit for doing it. Tests are graded on a curve, which was good. I thought he made the material interesting. I'd definitely take him again.

Good teacher. He expects students to read the text, and uses the time in class to cover different relevant political topics. He is a very fair teacher. Recommended.

We only have to go to class once or twice a week. Also, his instructions laid out in the syllabus are quite unclear. He rambles on about stuff with govn't, but it becomes monotonus and boring. Yes, there are some funny jokes here and there, but not enough to keep me awake. If you want a class that'll teach you by way of yourself, his is the one

I like Dr. Schell's internet class. I found it easy and enjoyable. I would take another one of internet classes. Found him to be vey fair.

I loved this professor! We only had to go to class one day and the other day was optional. I always went on the other day and he explained things that we might want to go over for the test. Those of you are saying that he was unclear and his test were hard just needed to study alittle more. He was by far one of my favorite teachers!

He is a great profesor. I really liked the online computer work as it really helped me on the tests. The key to this class is doing the computer work which I started off doing because a friend was in his class the previous semester.

Excellent Professor. Pryor to this class I had little knowledge of our government. Dr. Schell gives a possible 10 points added to your grade at the end of the semester if you complete all online material. I never even studied the book, I just read once and did the online material and walked away with an A and a good understanding of our gov.

Yes, Dr. Shell is a little hard, but if you really do the online tests and read the chapters you should easily pass. He is one of the most intelligent and wonderful professors that I have had. I would recommend taking him after you have maybe had a semester or two of college experience. He would often stay after class to talk with students.

awesome-whole grade is based on 3 exams- no weekly work-exams are multiple choice.

There are pros and cons. There are assignments each week and if you get a 90 or above they add up to become bonus points which is nice. Three exams count for entire course grade. None of his notes or chapter guides are helpful and the test questions can be tricky. Overall, pretty laid back and can be easy if you read the book as you go

This was a great online class. He allows bonus points for doing weekly work but the real advantage to this class was you get to drop your lowest test score. He was great about responding to emails and I recommended him to two frieds for spring.

Was a great class. He let you drop your lowest test score. The class was real clear and his calender was detailed. Real good about returning emails quickly. Highly recommend this teacher and class.

Hard class, but one of the best professors I've had. He's very intellegent, and it shows. Take this class if you want a good challege with interesting intellectual conversations.

I really liked this teacher and his style. I was a little scared at first but I followed THE PLAN as he called it and did well. He gives you bonus chances and drops the lowest test score. I learned a bunch about government this semester. M

I thought this class was pretty easy until the last test,which had questions I dont think were in the text or lecture.

I liked this class. He covers 11 chapters and gives you bonus points if you do your weekly work. You get to drop the lowest exam grade which helped me. All his ?s came straight from the book. This class offers lots of freedom.

Enjoyed the class. He gave me some good advice about what to expect at NSU. Emails were prompt and clear. Exams were from the text and you could use your book. He drops your lowest exam score. I recommended him to my cousin and she liked him.

Class is a solid online take. His syllabus is detailed and semester outline paces you. All tests were openbook. My only criticism was black board. My humanities prof ranted about bb to. My friend is in his class now and what she described he may have found a way around the timer for his class. Would take another class from him.

What you put into it is what you get out of the class. Professor is great and intellegent and I learned a lot.

Great class for online learning.

I took Dr. Schell's honors class and it was great! Lectures were very on point with the textbook. Tests were all open book as well. While the tests were not easy, and took a few hours to complete, if you can use reference points and write clear notes from his power points you can get an A every time. I would take his class again.

Awesome teacher No B.S. class simple true learning all you do is read and study your book take your test and a few quizzes for bonus points and that's all. Test can be taken at home. There's No Homework, No stupid discussion broads.Dr. Schell is a great teacher.

Spring online class was easy to understand and to follow. We gave us a calender the first day for the semester. Just really organized. Quick response to my emails. Wish he would teach history online.

Well organized class from the first day. The exams are all open book and he lets you drop your lowest exam score if you take all four or if you do well on the first three you can choose to skip the comprehensive final. The class was professionally run and he responded to my emails quickly and clearly.

Stimulating! Lectures were great especially ch 17 and 18. If you do your reading - easy A or B. To the poster of 4/14. He posted the grades summary on his office door so your comments are not true. There was 1W and 2Fs in the honors class. In both Fs, the student took half or less of the exams. I liked him and have recommended him.

Quality online class and easily to follow. Fast response to my emails and he let us drop our lowest exam score.

Super organized as our whole semster was loaded the first day. Instructions were always clear and he responded to all my email quickly. EASY to follow & 0 surprises.

This online class was the best. Be sure to read the syllabus and pace yourself using his calender. The class covered 11 chapters and was really well organized. There was no doubt this professor knew his stuff and was an expert on black board. I never cared for govt but this professor actually made it interesting. thumbs up

Dr. Schell keeps things straight forward and simple. Just follow his class syllabus to learn and get a good grade.

The best online class I have ever had. This professor is so organized compared to previous online classes. He lets you use your book on the tests and even dropps your lowest test if you take all of them. We covered 11 chapts and the answer to every test question could be found in our book. I have recommended him to several of my friends.

Just finished this class and i was really impressed with the quality of this teacher. I have recommended him to several of my friends. There were 3 tests and he let us drop our lowest score. Everything is word for word from the book so not hard.

12 week class online class. We covered 11 chapters with 3 tests. If you take all 3 you get to drop lowest test. The questions were right from the book and you can use your book. Every email I sent him I got a fast response to. I enjoyed my experience and did well.

Gov online was a fantastic class. Dr. Schell is smart, organized and can communicate. I felt I always knew what was happening and his email is priceless. I liked his approach and allowed us to drop our lewest test score. I read the assignments and did well because everything is from the text. He is a highly recommend teacher.

Impressive online class with an impressive Professor. I took this class at TCC because it is easier there than it is here in Stillwater. The class was well organized and simple to follow. For a general education class I was surprised at the quality. I am recommending him to everyone.

My semester with him he taught 8 classes and was always upbeat. Really organized which I liked. He is incredibly smart and funny. He let us drop or lowest test. Take him, you will learn alot.

We covered 11 chapters and had 3 tests which he allowed us to drop our lowest if we took all three. The tests came from the book and they were open book and open note. Every email was promply returned. He is really smart, funny and it shows that he knows what he is doing.

Worked out perfectly with my work schedule and other classes. Professor is very professional and attentive. Would strongly recommend.

Class was easy B. Everything comes from text and all tests were open book/note. He lets you drop your lowest score. What made this class was the teacher. Having taken other onlines the quality is obvious. This guy is just a first class teacher. Also he responds to email and quick. I have recommended him friends already.

Both Dr. Shell amd the class was a first class experience. I stopped by twice. What impressed me was how common he was. He answered and explained all my questions in suc simple terms. I took the class in 4 weeks because I have no interest in history. I would take him again if he was teaching something I liked.

Great 4 week class. All exams were open book open note on blackboard. It was well paced and easy to follow. You can tell he is sharp and knows what he is doing. There were 3 exams and he only counted our best 2. It was fun for a required class and I would take another class from him.

The 4 week class was a well organized class and exams were open book. Dr. Shell responded quickly to every email and made the tough topics seem quite simple. The other day I got to meet him in person. He was even more dynamic in person. I was impressed!

This short class and this Professor were a perfect fit for me.

For those that are stating that the course was difficult or had no information to study, use quizlet . com and post the tests so that others can use them to study with.

I took the intense version of this class in a week. He posted the class on black board weeks ahead of time which really made things easy. Every communication with him was quickly responded to. I really liked the course and the teacher. I would take him again and have recommended him to two people already.

Class was well organized as was the instructor. He counts your 2 best exam scores and everything comes from the book so you will need a book for this class. Overall i thought it was quite easy and well paced. A real positive was he responds fast to your questions. Not a subject I would major in but a good class.

This class consisted of 3 tests and only your best 2 counted which I loved and they were openbook and opennote. Everything on the tests comes from the textbook and the stuff on black board. I thought the class was pretty easy but what really impressed me was you send him a note and you get a prompt response.

This Professor was amazing. He is really smart, organized. 8 week class is easy B but you have to work for the A. He gives 3 tests and you drop your lowest. Everything on the tests comes right from the text and bb icons. His tests are openbook and opennote. He does not procter our tests.

I take classes online due to work. This was a great class. Everything in the class had a purpose and it was easy to follow along. The tests were directly from the text and he let us drop our lowest test score. He allowed us to take our tests wherever we wanted which really fit my schedule.

Good class, good teacher, good experience. I would take him again. You can tell he is smart and funny but he seemed very kind and considerate in his communication. The tests were from the text so I did well. Everything was so clear and easy to follow but be sure and read the Syllabus.

If you are like me and put studying off until the last minute, don't take this class. I took the 8 week online course which consists of 3 test but your lowest one gets dropped. You have to start reading the chapters two weeks in advanced to get a good understanding bc you won't have time to look up every question. I would take this class again

This class is easy if you put any work into it. His tests come directly from the text and he allows you like a 12 hour window to take the tests and you can take them wherever you want, even at home. Dr. Shell is brilliant and easy to deal with; however, he can get impatient with high "drama" people. I would take him again.

His syllabus was clear and easy to follow. You knew the schedule for the entire semester the first day. Three tests and you could take them from home and everything was directly out of the book. I thought it was easy. I liked him!

This was honors so his lectures were amazing like he was telling you a story. I read my chapters and did well. We got to use our book and notes on the tests and everything comes from the book. What impressed me was how common he was when I talked to him one on one. I wish I could take him again.

I took his condensed 4 week class and it was great. He was well organized and I was done with this general education class in 4 weeks. Every contact was positive and I like him. Another thing is he responds quickly to email. He sends out the syllabi a month or so in advance so you can read ahead if you desire.

This course was laid out well and easy to complete. All tests were open book and could be taken anywhere. The amount of work required was about average. The teacher seemed well prepared and I felt he really knew what he was doing.

I see why his classes pack. I took the 8 week, the word is the shorter time the class the more flexible he is. We covered 12 chapters and tests were open book and open note which I liked. Best run online class I have taken.

I liked this Professor. He was smart, charismatic, and off the chart funny. He was just interesting to chat with. The way he analyzed and explained things, it all seemed so simple and logical. I loved his style because he was so real.

So professional when you compare him to my other teachers and classes. Smart! I would love to sit down and talk to him about the current presidential election and get this thoughts. He was a delight when I had his class because he will communicate with you and QUICKLY.

This teacher knows how to design an online class. Everything is clear and he posts his classes a month or so before they start. The class was well paced but politics is a bit weird at times. It is not a subject I would ever major in but I really enjoyed him and his class. I would take him again.

This teacher teaches like 8 classes and like every seat is taken and I can see why - his approach is student friendly. I had a practice test and like 4 regular tests and you can skip the last test the way he averages. I wish he would offer history on line. Be sure and get a book because all tests are open book.

the tests for this class are open book and you are allowed to use your notes. The teacher was well prepared and totally knows the subject matter. I found him enjoyable and would take him again.

his HONORS in government course was exceptional. It was an easy B but I wanted the A so I plugged in. He gives the same tests and they are take home. His style is smooth and he keeps things real. I really enjoyed him, the class and would take him again.

This honors class was amazing. I enjoyed every aspect of it as it mets once a week. The prof made everything seem so effortless. All of his exams were take home. I would for sure take him again.

This was an easy 8 week class as all exams were open book. We had 4 tests and the tests were from the text. The word is the shorter the duration of the class the more flexible he is and I would take him again. He also responds quickly to email.

Delightful and uses a common sense approach to politics which I found refreshing.

4 week class worked great for me. He was so clear about everything. His exams were open book and open note which I liked/ He is known for his 4 week classes and he said he could get by being a bit more flexible in grading because of the shortened time frame.

This 4 week class was excellent, not to long or too quick. I chatted with him 4 times and he was always helpful. The exams are from the text but he does use that respondus program. He was extremely organized and I would take him again..

We covered 10 chapters and had a practice exam and four regular exams. All the exams were open book and note. Quick feedback and super easy to follow. Helpful!

Professor Schell is an absolutely wonderful teacher. He really knows his stuff. He grades fair, easy to understand and really explains things in an easy to understand way. By far, was my best class this semester.

I took this 4 week online class. We covered 10 chapters and exams were all open book. He seemed like a really fun guy and very helpful. I have recommended him to several of my friends. He was generous grade wise at the end and I liked that too.

You will need a text for this 8 week online class because his tests are open book. Amazing guy yet he so common. He pushed me to become a better student. I started slow and got better and better and did very well in the end. Take his class.

Dr. Schell is a very interesting guy. I learned a lot about life and politics. The tests are HARD. They are the only grades. I was really challenged, but I appreciated it a lot, and I would definitely take a course with Schell again.

Professor Schell is really smart and helpful. I started off slow but improved through the semester and when grade time came he was extremely giving. I really liked his style. I sent him several notes and got rapid response to each. I would take him again!

Dr. Shell made me a better student by helping me improve my study skills. He is a book of ideas. Like my football coach, he will push you especially if he sees talent but was generous at the end. All tests were open book. I have such respect for him as he is a great role model.

I have taken several online classes and this was the best one. He was really clear and so organized. He quickly answered all email and I enjoyed the experience. You could tell he had taught for a while.
