He is an excellent teacher. Gives partial credit on tests. Tests are not easy but do-able if sufficent time is given for studing. Homework is assigned every class and there are projects for 6-7 chapters (can be difficult and time consuming). I promise that if effort is put forth, a lot will be obtained and retained.

He really knows his stuff and is clear in lectures, always answers questions and is available to contact. TONS of homework and his homework sets are tough but they are easier than the tests. He gives you old tests to study from which is great. Make friends in the class and divide and concur the homework you cant do it on your own. Take him!

He makes it interesting so it would be easier to learn, grade the homeworks strictly, projects are much harder that homework or the problems you learn to solve in the class. Make a friend in the class, it would be very helpful to work on the projects with someone and do homeworks. His class level are higher than normal so makes you ready for future

This is, hands down, the best math teacher I have ever had. He teaches you Calculus by helping you discover it using the knowledge you already have. He also applies what you're learning to what you might encounter in your respective fields. I would definitely take him again.

Schultz is a great professor, he gives clear expectations and as long as you meet them you will do well in the class. There's 5 problems for homework - 30 minutes at best - due almost every day, sometimes there isn't any though. Some extra credit. Overall, he tries to make the class interesting. Makes puns and math-related jokes.

Best math teacher at MCC! I have taken him for Calc 1 & 3 and I would keep taking math with him if he taught more classes. He is challenging but he does the impossible and makes math interesting and even exciting at times. If you don't like math, take him. I guarantee you will leave thinking about math differently! (bonus he's quite funny)

I very much enjoyed professor Schultz' Calculus 3 class. The lectures were great, and he explained everything quite clearly. Yes, there is a lot of graded homework, but it helps you to better understand the material. By test time, you will be more than adequately prepared as long as you have done the homework. Overall, a great math teacher.

He is an extraordinary teacher, very dedicated to his craft. But, his homework is incredibly hard, they consist of 50 online math problems, 15 book problem (Most of them are word problems), and a projects which is close to impossible to solve by yourself so you will most likely have to visit the math tutoring center.

Professor Schultz is really cool. He came in mid semester and took over the class. He is really helpful and well respected! He is really clear when explaining the problems. MAT 121 is not an easy class but if study the review, do the homework, and ask for help/go to tutoring you should be fine. He's willing to help anybody who needs it.

Schultz is hands down the best math professor at MCC. He takes lots of time explaining concepts and will take more time if you don't understand something. Pros: Approachable Test questions are always from HW Will walk you through anything you don't understand Cons: Some of the hardest HW you'll ever get (it helped me understand calculus though)

I like Schultz, but something about his teaching style left me frustrated. We were given specific, one-off examples without a solid explanation of how to approach the type of problem as a whole. The class felt rushed at times and disorganized. He's a smart guy and really know his stuff (gives excellent shortcuts) but his style didn't work for me.

He knows definitely knows the math and really cares for his students. He records the lectures and provides the links so you can watch them if you need to review something.

If you work hard, complete all the group projects you will do great! He even offers 40 points of extra credit at the end so it'll bring you up almost a whole letter grade if you need it
