Professor Schreck was great! He is so funny and makes class enjoyable. I felt like I didn't learn a lot because we only had the midterm and the final but least sitting through his class was fun because he often told jokes. Easy A if you answer his twitter questions. Attendance isn't mandatory but attendance "quizzes" are given once a week

Dr. Schreck is the best! I took him over the summer so the lectures were almost 3 hours long and I still looked forward to going to class. He made everything super interesting and he is seriously hilarious. Class participation points came from Twitter and he said we needed the book but his notes were so thorough I never even opened it. Take him!!!

Overall, i would reccomend Prof. Schreck. The only issue i had was that his online assignments were a tad disorganized. Sometimes i wouldnt even know i had an assignment due. However, he was always more than willing to work with me, and his assignments were straightforward and easy. Would recommend for anyone that needs this class.

I had professor Schreck for intro to political science. As long as you show up and take good notes, you will be prepared for any quiz or test that he gives. He is hilarious and his lectures were never boring. I looked forward to going to class just to see what we were going to be talking about. I recommend this professor to everyone.

He's very respectful and extremely funny. He's also COMPLETELY straightforward. His class is easy as long as you write down EVERYTHING he writes and ACTUALLY listen to what he says. We have weekly quizzes (5 questions) that are open note/book (we can even use the Internet). The midterm is three questions, and STUDENTS choose the topics on there.

Skip class? You won't pass.

This is the 3rd class that I have taken with Dr. Schreck. I waited until the on-campus class reopened. You would do better taking Dr. Schreck in class rather than online. He enjoys teaching in front of a classroom, instead of a computer screen. Don't do yourself a disservice and take his class online because you will lose out.

This is a very straightforward class, every week, he would post the slides for each chapter for you to read and study, and then you had a quiz. He usually posts the quizzes Friday afternoon, or even Saturday sometimes, and they are due on Sunday.
