she made intro. to math relatively difficult. wtf? at least 40 people dropped her class when i was in it. she'd get mad when we'd ask questions. she was also wrong a lot and gave way too much homework.

She should be doing something else.

She should be doing something else. The class started around 90 and when I dropped there were only about 15 remaining. I heard this from a TA who said she was about to fail him or her too.

I was taking this class as an elective because I'm good at math. I dropped it. Like everyone else has been saying, she makes you feel stupid for anything you don't know. She decides to tell you every time she's writing an extra step that normally SHE wouldn't write. If you ask a question, she'll say oh that's algebra or that's pre-cal and i'm not teaching that in here..and freaks out. She'll put problems up and won't finish them because she thinks everyone knows how to finish them, so you have no answers.

If she were a hot dog vendor, she would be fired after working two weeks.

Awful, awful teacher. I've never had such a bad professor before who makes you feel dumb and won't help you in any way. She absolutely cannot teach statistics, even to the smartest person in the class.

This class was so incredibly ridiculous. She is the worst professor. I used to sit in the back of the class with the TA who would say "Oh my God, what is she saying?". She's the WORST!!!! Don't take this class if you value your GPA. I made an A in calculus and a C in this MATH class!!!

I wish I had read the reviews before choosing her. If you want to do well in her 408K I strongly suggest going to the UTLC twice a week or joining a study group because she is really no help. Do go to her office hours & ask SPECIFIC questions on concepts every week. I totally failed 408K but Schultz passed me with a D she knows I tried.

Awful teacher. Skips a lot of information on notes, as if she's trying to rush it. Most famous quote during note-taking *gets halfway* "ok, this is the final answer if you want to finish on your own later"

Stats is not a hard class, but she sure makes it hard. You would think she'd let you use a graphing calculator for so much data, but no, everything is all by hand. Also very rude and never responds to emails. Picks up hw at her discretion which doesn't help your grade and her tests are ridiculous in how points are distributed. Worst prof ever.

Get out of this class! I dropped her as soon as I could!

Her tests are ridiculous... like 6 or 8 points each and she takes off a lot of points for little errors in work out problems that should only count for -1 pt. Not hard material but she makes it hard. Gives homework out EVERY CLASS and picks up whenever she wants even though she says it's not for a grade but IT DEFINITELY IS!! WORST PROFESSOR!!!!

Without a doubt the worst teacher I've had after 3 years of college. Aside from being rude and condescending, this was my third time taking intro stats (credit didn't transfer) and I got A's the first 2 times - I'm dropping her class with a D. Her tests are nothing more than guessing games. Avoid at all costs.

Avoid at all costs. She is a mean lady, who makes you feel stupid. If you have a question to ask her in office hours, don't bother, she'll explain it exactly the same way she did in class just with attitude. -.-

DO NOT TAKE SCHULTZ CLASS. She is the absolute worst teacher I've only been in her class for two weeks and my whole school schedule is dedicated to her ridiculously hard 40+ question DAILY homework assignments. Expects students to be geniuses after a summer of break. Also I'M VERY GOOD AT MATH and this still is WAY harder than it should be.

She's terrible. She's rude and condescending, & as much as she may not want to admit it, is self centered. I emailed a TA regarding my final exam test accommodations and heard back in 30 minutes. I emailed schultz 3 times in 7 days and has yet to respond but she sends mass emails anyways, clearly having seen mine. DONT TAKE SCHULTZ YOU'LL HATE LIFE

The course itself wasn't incredibly difficult, but the tests and homework problems were created in such a way that your grades will fall into a sinkhole. She's one of those professors where the material isn't difficult, but her assignments really kill it. If there's another professor available, I strongly recommend choosing an alternate option.

The tests are really hard and her class is awful. You will be randomly called on when she draws your name from a stack of note cards and its pretty stressful even without that.

I dropped her class because my homework and test averages were so low (never had to consider this option before or even taken a class pass fail). I retook it the next semester with another professor. Same material, but somehow my second professor explained the material clearly without over complicating and with a much better attitude...

Horrible!!!! I went into her class reading the reviews thinking I would be ok but no! This is the hardest class I have ever taken. The average for our first test in Schultz class was a 58. Do not take her for calculus 2. She is rude and her test are horrible!

Avoid taking Schultz at all costs. Material is learned through Quest and the book. She will start long, drawn out problems in class and then never finish them. Tests are multiple choice, and it's impossible to finish them before time runs out.

Lets just say, after every exam, I would walk back home crying due to how horrible her exams are. Had to use my One time exception Q drop for the class since she would't bump my 69 to a C-. She is the rudest professor I have ever run into in my life.

Easily my worst class and professor at UT. Why this woman is teaching is beyond me. She was hardly even friendly when you would talk to her outside of class. I went to office hours and did not feel welcome at all and in class it seems like she enjoys picking on people who do not know what they're doing and then enjoys being rude about it. STAY AWAY

Worst class I have ever taken. Most heartless women I have ever met and she cannot teach. Hard Quest based test.

Ever since schultz got divorced, she has become the rudest person you will ever meet. Lectures are unorganized, she will pick on students who ask questions, and her exams are AWFUL. I don't understand why she is teaching. Out of all the math professors in the department, she has the highest QDF rate-(Q drop) (D's) (F's).

Don't take her. Out of all the M408N Professors, her Quest based exam was by far the hardest out of all teachers. Don't take her, she wants everyone to fail her class. She does not care about her students success, I repeat, she does not care!!!

Dr. Schultz is an awful professor. Her class is insanely hard, she does not teach at all, has unrealistic expectations and impossible tests, and after a test where the average was a 46, she offered a 30 point extra credit opportunity, only to take it away due to "emails opposing the extra problem."

She is a fairly rude person and her tests are definitely tough. She has been at UT for quite some time, but her teaching ability really makes it seem like she does not have much experience. When working problems in class, she makes many mistakes which certainly confuse students. I'm not sure if she could pass her own tests within the time limit.

Any time someone asked a question, she usually didn't answer clearly and made the student feel bad. I skipped nearly every class that second half of the semester since going to her class would put me in such a bad mood. I did keep up with the work and ended up getting an A, but I did a lot of work and got help outside of class.

Do. Not. Take. Her.

I saw that this women is teaching THREE class times for M408L for spring 2016. Please, whatever you do, don't get in her class. Wait until next semester to take it with a better professor. Its a shame that the UT Math department does not address the problem with this women.

Rude, dismissive, and impatient. Puts problems up straight from the textbook and gives about 2 minutes before she calls on someone. If you are working the problem incorrectly, she shakes her head and tells you to have a seat. If you do not have a background in calc, she will not help you learn anything. Consistently works own problems incorrectly.

Wouldn't even recommend my worst enemy to take her class. It was a nightmare!!! DO NOT TAKE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very disappointed in UT's math department for still employing this woman. I basically did everything from Quest because her lectures are absolutely a waste of time. This course might as well be an online class. I'm paying so much tuition to receive zero education.

She is super rude, the subject material is already hard, and she will try to make it as stressful as she can. Test averages in the 40's and will call you out in lecture. If you don't know the answer, she will penalize you and make fun of you in front of the whole class. Horrible!!!!!! I can't express how horrible her class is.

She can be rude and not very helpful. Need to go to discussion if you want to learn anything. Assigns the hardest problems she can find

The rudest lady I have ever encountered. Do not take this class under any circumstances unless you want to be in a bad mood every time you are in class. She is not an effective professor and creates an overall hostile environment. DO NOT TAKE. There are so many better professors (like Lorenzo Sadun).

She takes attendance, calls people to the front, and then ridicules them if they cannot answer her questions. She is rude, tells people they are wrong if they do not do things her way, and says every problem she gives is "easy" or "level one" even though everyone is confused. Unless you enjoy being put down, avoid this professor at all costs.

She can't teach. You won't learn anything in class. Had a 95 in M408K, now I'm struggling to get a B in her class and thats with the possibility of a curve. Extremely rude.

Do. Not. Take. Her. Literally the most difficult class I've ever taken at UT and I had to teach everything to myself despite attending every single lecture and discussion section. In class she just goes over practice problems and never explains the methods or theories.

THE WORST TEACHER EVER! PLEASE EITHER TAKE THE AP EXAM, TAKE IT AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE OVER THE SUMMER, OR TAKE ANOTHER TEACHER! PLEASE DO NOT TAKE!!!

If you took AP Calculus you'll be alright, if you did not, you will struggle a lot. Instead of guiding you through the process of solving a problem, Schultz gets mad and makes fun of you if you do not know. She makes horrible analogies during class. Kris (the TA), is amazing. She is very helpful and you'll learn more with her than with Schultz.

Take another professor. She's nice I guess, but calls students who go to all of her office hours by the wrong name. There are so many Quest assignments. She makes you turn in a lengthy paper homework once a week in discussion class, that you have to format in a special way. There's basically no remorse on tests.

Not a good calculus professor. Goes over examples but skips many steps assuming you would know it on your own when many don't. She will ask if there are any questions then shoot you down or belittle you for asking one. The university has better professors and I am bummed they don't use them. Don't recommend

Schultz was a nightmare. She says shes open to questions but either refuses to answer or belittles whoever asked it for not knowing. I know it wasn't the students's faults because most of the class (including myself) had made an A in Precalculus the previous semester. She doesn't teach whats on the test or the homework. I ended up dropping it.

I'm no math wiz, so I went to her class every day just to review. Boy did I waste my time. If you read other comments about her, they're mostly true. She will not explain any intermediate steps and seems to look down on students who aren't as math oriented. I made an A because I took Calc BC in high school and bless the TA's. They'll save you.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE SCHULTZ. There were 7 homework assignments due every week, and you're teaching yourself all of the material. Her lectures are useless because she doesn't explain actual concepts. I tried going to her office hours, but she was never there. If you have a question, save it for later unless you want a sarcastic remark. I had to drop.

Prepare for sarcastic comments if you ask for help 50% of the time and feeling helpless and frustrated the other 50%.

Do. Not. Take. Her. Sarcastic remarks, reminders of how everyone is underperforming and awkward silences. She creates a tense and negative atmosphere almost every lecture. TA discussions will take the weight off a little but it will be a lot of self-learning. Look for LA's. Half the class dropped after exam 2. For your sake, switch out asap.

I highly recommend you switch to a different Calc teacher. The only reason I did not fail this class is because I took Calc in high school and had some basic knowledge. The amount of work you have to put into this class is really intense and is made worse by the fact that you will have to teach yourself. She means well, but is very scatterbrained.

This women has been the most rudest person I have ever met at UT. Cannot teach, yells at students during lecture, never shows up to her office hours, and exam averages were horrible. After exam 2 (class average 45) more than half the class dropped. I barley survived this class by hiring a tutor and teaching myself everything. BEWARE!!

Schultz is pretty nice unless you ask her any questions. She is a really tough grader, and never regrades or gives points back even if she made a mistake.

Don't take this class, especially if you do not have previous calc experience. It is very hard to learn in this class and it's designed to make people drop (most did). Difficult tests were 78% of the grade and homework is extremely excessive. Schultz was very rude, chewed us out after every test, and refused to answer most questions in class.

I read the reviews on here before taking her class and wanted to remain unbiased. I feel like the other students on here say it pretty well. Keep yourself aware of due dates. Asking for explanations condescending comments from Schultz on your intelligence. Only went to a few classes before switching to 408C for a better professor. Best of luck.

Her lectures make absolutely no sense, very unorganized, doesn't explain how to solve problems, skips steps. ONLY TWO TESTS and the averages were in the Fs. Your grade does not reflect how well you know the material. Most people dropped or failed. The only thing that saved me was the TA. Very bad experience.

She is the rudest person I've ever met. This class made me question myself and lead to numerous breakdowns. I would recommend everyone out there to not have her as a professor at all costs.

very hard class, hard to pass

Worst professor I've ever experienced. Lectures are confusing and she is unhelpful in office hours. Would absolutely not take again.

This professor is not helpful. I went to office hours and many tutoring sessions to get through the homework because we had to teach ourselves the content. Her explanations are terrible and the book isn't helpful. She only goes over some examples and takes attendance even though it's not apart of your grade. Take someone else save yourself!
