Excellent teacher, very helpful, easy to approach, very clear with directions. Recommend to anyone taking Eng Comp II
very easy teacher! His assignments are straight forward and always has conference hours for people who need extra help. I recommend this teacher for compI. Explains everything. Easy A!!!
I really like this teacher coz he takes time to explain the assignment and give us a lot of examples. he even go around and ask everyone if they have questions or not. i really recommend this teacher.
excellent teacher!!
got an A in his class; he explains his assignments thoroughly. in addition to papers, takes participation grade by doing exercises from Penguin Handbook (only completion grade). he curves his papers too!
I got an A in his class, which is likely unlikable because Im soo bad at it. He's easy on the grades, because he curves and you get part. points, which really help, if u come to class and do the homework. I would defintely recommend him.
I got an "A" in this class. Dr. Schulz was very helpful. He may seem to be hard at first, but he is very easy...

HE is lenient on the grading and the essays were annoying, but sometimes I did not get what he was asking for. I didn't like his class but I made an "A". There is HW in the handbook, and usually let us leave 30 minutes early.I thought he was boring and he does seem a bit on the gay side, even though hes married
Boring teacher, acts and sounds gay, only way ot make an A in his class is if u suck up to him I RATHER TAKE ENGLISH WITH SABRINA BELZ MUCH MORE EASIER AND NICER
Nice and helpful teacher. Lets you leave early sometimes. Explains things clearly. Takes attendence. I thought it was too much work. I dropped it cuz I got caught behind. He does seem a little fruity but he's really nice. He seems like a bia bia but he's not. Recommended!
His assignments seem a little hard but they aren't anything he doesnt go over a million times and he offers every oppurtunity to help you. He's not for immature people. He makes you think and challenges you and thats not for everyone. Which probably explains some of the negative comments
he's a pretty cool guy if you have good attendance. he curves on essays, very helpful and understanding. i recommend him.
He plays favorites. But he's real easy. You can talk your way out of some assignments most of the time. He lets class go early which is good. A hour and a half can get too long. His class is easy. He takes a lot of things for granted though.

He is not as easy as everyone said he was. I did pretty good in english before I took this class. The only thing I liked about his class was that he would curve the grades a little. He grades papers really hard!
Helpful and direct instructor. Do the work and you'll do fine. Highly recommend this teacher.
This guy really hard. he grades papers extreme hard and has very long papers. if your grade is a "B" on a paper is gose down to an "D" just because you have more than 11 errors on your paper. PLEASE take a different professor
i liked the gothic horror class. but he doesn't explain what he wants in his essay. he looks for something specific but is not clear. very hard grader on essays! class is interesting but he has a degree in math and is teaching english. tell u something? he's a nice guy but anal about his grading methods.
Do NOT this take this professor unless you have to. Inconsistent and hostile. Difficult to understand what he's looking for in essays despite repeating himself 100 times. Anal rententive when it comes to grades. I've always enjoyed English.. before I took his class. Having this professor was my worst college decision, ever.
Great teacher. Great class concept (gothic horror). Most say that he's anal about grading papers, he's not. Just follow the directions. Participate in class. If he sees you participating and knows you understand the material, he'll grade less harshly. If you don't understand, talk to him after class and he'll explain.
This guy grades pretty hard, but if you study and complete assignments you can get an A. If your failing or worried about your grade he will help you just have to ask him.
I took his summer class and I made an A... there were 4 essays and mini quizzes everyday but i was late almost everyday and missed most of those... alot of what we did in class was just buzy work... for the most part i recommend him cuz it's very easy to get an A.
i never found him hard at all...only 4 essays with mini quizz every other day..and i think if u pay attention it will b easy and if u dont get it he will explain it to you...as much as he can..i like him and will take him for 1302...

He is helpful, he is a nice guy. But if you are not a detail oriented individual you can kiss your good grade good bye. Grading system is extremely hard. Deducts points for any minor mistake. Boot Camp Sytle.
He is awesome!! he knows what he's talking about and makes it very easy for u to understand if you don't get it the first time. You do four essays and the final itself is an essay, and mini quizzes which were a piece of cake. Those who don't like him just aren't willing to work hard! Awesome TEACHER!! I'm takin him again for enlgish 1302
I wish I would of had him for 1301 he is VERY clear & helpful. He grades very hard,(his system can be confusing but it works & it's VERY FAIR)if u do ur work and study u will not have a problem. U also get lots of chances to bring the grade up due to the amount of quizzes he gives (he drops some too) take him & u would enjoy CompI&II. HAVE FUN!!!!!
He explains things well and gives you ample time to work on papers assigned. Very respectful to students. Attendance is important-he gives participation grades based on your attendance. Good instructor, nice person.
great professor,fair and helpful.I got a (B)in his class.He explains every step,but you have to attend class.I recommend him,if I can get a (B)...he's good.
he is very clear and concise. grading is fair, and there is not much work. To make an A, just come to class, pay attention, and do what he tells you to do for your four essays.
Dr. Schulz is a great professor. He is very clear and explains in detail so that everyone can understand. Very nice and helpful. He wants to see students succeed. His lectures are very thourough.
He is a wonderful teacher! He actually cares, and if you really need help, he is more than willing to help out! Just like any other class, you actually have to attend and listen. He is not hard, just do what your supposed to, and thats an "A"
Very picky about mistakes made on papers. Will hand paper back if it has more than 2 errors and takes off 10 points each time it happens.
The class was pretty hard for me. Very picky about mistakes. Takes short quizes in the begining of the class, so don't be late.(quizes open book, NOT hard). as i said, to my mind class is kinda hard....
Pretty good teacher if you actually want to learn. Explains assignments pretty clearly you have 3 major assignments, gives you about a month do a paper, final research paper is based off the first paper you write. Fairly strict on grammar allows for 13 mistakes per page if you have more than than he gives you the paper back to fix grammar mistakes.
I took his class in the summer. Pretty straight forward and explains the things he expects to see in the essays. 2 short essays, research paper is based on essay # 1 and final is an easy in class essay. He is particular about grammar, but gives you chance to make up. Open book quizzes daily. Very easy!! Recommend him.
Prof Gavin is just okay. he gives enough time to complete your essays but at the same time he is a very hard grader. you get your essay back with all red marks. it is also hard to tell what he is looking for in the essay. some of his lectures does not even go with the topic. oh ya..his quizez are easy.overall he is okay but write your essay well
It was really easy to take notes in his class. Be warned about his handbook quizzes, they're really easy but you'll have to use your textbook. Also his essays require a lot of work and his grading system is really werid.
DO NOT TAKE HIM....he grades hard on format..takes off like 30 pts if u don't have the format right...
Dr. Schulz is actually pretty cool. He has a specific way of grading papers and he tells you from the beginning of the semester. Just follow those guidelines and you will make an A. Though I don't recommend doing everything last minute like I did, I made an A on all of my papers. He gives ample time to finish. Just FOLLOW HIS GUIDELINES!!!!

He is really easy, just make sure you write your papers exactly the way he wants them.. youll get an A if you do. I bought both the textbooks, and yes we used them. Great teacher i would recommend him to anyone

He is a very easy professor in a sense. He tell u what to do. If u listen ur at a B and add ur efforts and ur at an A. If u dont listen and do ur stuff last minute like me ur at a C. I still dont know how I managed to pull of a B.
I had him for 1302 and I should say that he is a reasonable teacher. He gives students second chances to improve their work and he will explain what problems you have in your essay if you ask. If you are the type who can't take an honest criticism think twice because 1302 makes you work hard. Just listen to his advice and you'll do just fine.
(Detective Fiction)Great professor! He gives you a lot of opportunities to improve your work. Even though the class has not ended for me yet, but I know I have an A. There are quizes everyday based on readings. One research paper throughout the semester. So very easy, recommend him.
He's not an easy prof. he's a grammer nazi, if you have more than 5 mistakes in one page automatically he takes 10 points off. Most people in my class dropped his class...
I believe he's a really great professor. He's very clear on what he expects to see on the essays. He gave us outlines on how to write. He is very picky about grammar, but he's also very understandable & if you approach him, he will help you out.
He is wonderful. Tells you what to write paragraph by paragraph. Gives you lots of chances to correct papers. Grammar quizzes are open book and easy! He is a bit strict on grammar but he is a PHD english prof. he wrote a book what do you expect? This is 1302 guys not 6th grade english. There are only 4 papers to write... very easy, got an A :)
He is a good teacher, maybe not the BEST but he's not bad at all. He is VERY specific on what he wants on an essay and he gives all kinds of examples to make it clear for you, so that makes it easier. He is kinda harsh on grammar, so watch out for that, however, he does give you the chance to correct your paper :D
Best English Prof. ever!
He failed me in class at the last day. Now I'm in search for another professor... Don't take him unless you want C or F
OMG! He is best teacher ever!! He is clear about what he wants from his students. He tells you step by step what he wants on the essays. First and second essays he will give you second chance to improve your grade but on the research paper he does not. He is very fair teacher and he will help you if you have any questions.
He is a very clear teacher. The way he grades your paper is very strange but gives you room to make mistakes. He gives lots of time to write your paper and there are open book quizzes about every week which would really help your grade if you suck at essays. I'm not very good at essays but I still got an A in the class.
I don't know what's wrong with the people below, they either seem to be nerd masters or those ratings are by the professors itself. I took his class and survived until the end but by the 6-8th week half of the class ha dropped the class the professor is nice but doesn't have any clue how to teach and if you want a B then take it im an A student btw
This man was no joke. I had to drop him within the first few weeks. I went to him a few times after class for help, but his style of teaching is so weird that it didnt really make sense. He just kind of expected you to know what he was talking about. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS TO NOT TAKE THIS MAN!!!
What a bad professor I had to drop his class in the 4th week when you ask him question he won't answer and he is very rude idk why he has good rating which screwed me up DON'T TAKE HIM!!
Please do not take him and if you're a student rating a professor, please be honest because the past ratings were either made by himself or something. I mean this. Dont mislead students. DO NOT TAKE HIM! He's strange, not available to help, more than half the class dropped including myself (after 4 weeks). His ratings are misleading!
OK, I am an A student, this semester seriously screwed me over and now i have a really horrible GPA. He does not answer your questions correctly, we are literally on our own. He wants your papers PERFECT. If you do not have up to the word count he wants, even if its one word away, he will give you your paper back! He does not see YOUR EFFORT!:(
Great teacher, teaches a college class and very interesting. If you can't get a b in this class, you don't belong in college. great class
He's a really good teacher! I made a B. He's clear, and at times laid back. He knows how to teach and communicates well with the class. Easy class, I could've made an A if I tried a little harder.
He is a very clear teacher, he tells you what he wants and thats it. It's not a hard class if you just do your work.
he teaches a COLLEGE class and I loved it. It's nice to be treated as if you have a brain and aren't a snowflake. Thanks, Dr. S!
It was a pleasure to have him for a professor. I truly enjoyed his class. GREAT teacher.
This is not a class where you can just slack off and expect to get an A. He is extremely crucial with grammar when grading your essays, but does give you chances to revise them. His sessions are mainly about how you can improve the next essay assigned. Overall, he is a good professor but you HAVE to do your work to maintain a good grade.
JUST DROPPED HIS CLASS. HOMEWORK EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK. HORRIBLE TECHER, IS NOT CLEAR ON WHAT HE WANTS. ENJOYS MAKING STUDENTS MISERABLE WITH LOTS OF DIFFRENT THINGS GOING ON!!!! DO NOT TAKE HIM YOU WILL DROP HIS CLASS BY SECOND WEEK.
Does not really help you. Gives you what you need to know then makes you figure out yourself. He always refers to the book that is not required and doesn't show you the correct way until after he gave you a horrible grade on the assignment. I would not recommend him. He also gives work everyday like we have no life outside of his course.
He gives work that is stupid and useless and does not give enough help for all the work that he gives. All he does is let you fail miserably and then tells you why you did so bad instead of helping when you have questions. Horrible teacher.
One word: HORRIBLE!...I have never failed an essay at any level no matter who the teacher was and this guy failed all my essays! He first gives you an evaluation essay and do not get fooled if he says you will do fine in his class. He is a cold grader and does not care if you fail despite how hard one tries to get a good grade. Please believe me!!!
I was a student that didn't care for ENGL classes at all. In fact I dreaded it. But Schulz is a good teacher. Follow his EXACT instructions, don't be lazy, and ask questions and you will make an A. He responds back daily. He gives extra points if you follow his instructions. Give your best effort and you will pass.
He did not give clear instructions and by the time he responded with questions you had it was too late.
You've gotta have heart All you really need is heart When the odds are sayin' you'll never win That's when the grin should start You've gotta have hope Mustn't sit around and mope Nothin's half as bad as it may appear Wait'll next year and hope When your luck is battin' zero Get your chin up off the floor
2 essays, 1 research paper, 1 take home final, about online homework every week. 2 peer evaluation, brain storm exercises. He has strict rules for essays and research paper, but he gives bonus if you don't make mistakes like citation format and plagiarism. The bonus can make your grade from 60 to 80. Very nice and willing to help.
You only have to attend some lectures because the way he likes his essays can get pretty specific but overall very easy. I don't want to say he "curves" essays but the way he grades them you'll get around 20-25 bonus points every time- I got 100+'s on all of my essays because of this. There are a few online assignments but they're simple. LOVE IT.
I just needed to pass this class with a C did not make it, I should have dropped a long time ago.
Very very tough on grading. If you just need to pass a course, choose something else.
Took him during summer at HCC. Had taken the class within the month after graduating High school, and was scared to take the class. He was really easy and explained everything. Even went over essays with you. But if something was graded he didn't help to be fair. Did have homework, but if you keep track you will pass.
This is a very straight forward hard professor. If you are looking for a professor to boost up your gpa this guy is not it!! He takes off points without even grading your paper if your format is not correct or if you do not have the quotes he requires. He does give you three chances to correct it however if you don't you get a zero.
Tough grader. You will write three essay that you will never again have to in your life. You will use three different citations that you will never again use in your life. If you are graduating at the end of the class, he will not be as helpful or take that into consideration while grading your paper. Do not waste your time or money I wish I didnt
I took Gothic Literature with him and he was one of the best professors I've had for english. I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. Granted, we had a quiz every class but they were only 4 questions! Super easy if you read the story, and even if you didn't, he left time to discuss the stories beforehand.
great professor.
I took him for engl 1302. He gives you 3 big essays throughout the semester which aren't hard if you actually read the story's and apply yourself. The prompts aren't so exiting but that's all you do in his class write big essays and you're done. He grades hard but gives you long deadlines to turn in a good paper.
I took this class online in the Spring. Dr. Schulz is very specific in his lectures and requirements. After you submit your essay he will let you know what corrections are needed and allows you the opportunity to correct it before the final grade. Read his lectures and follow his instructions and there will be no problem passing the course.
Worst Professor. Don't take him. If you take him, I would say welcome to the club of stress. Too much rules and unnecessary information. He doesn't feel and appreciate student's situation. I wish I hadn't taken this class. Negative impact on my GPA and lots of work. I advice you not to take him.
I've got to be honest, if you're not comfortable or not having any interests in writing, you wouldn't want to take his class. Otherwise, he is an amazing instructor. He will be specific of what he wants you to do, and at the same time, more than willing to help if you really want to make progress in writing. I'm taking another one of his classes.
I took Dr. Schulz's online English 1302 class hoping to boost my GPA. This is definitely a no BS class. Every assignment revolves around the 3 papers you write throughout the semester. He is a tough grader, but if you put in the work and do the smaller assignments you'll do well. He always responds to emails and is very clear about everything!
Dr. Schulz is very fair and clear. He will give the syllabus at the beginning of the class make sure to read it as all information you may need will be there. He will give 4 essays, essay 3 is the one that is the major essay so do your best. Class participation is required. He is very fair and clear so just pay attention. He is a great teacher.
Dr. Gavin Schulz is a challenging professor. I would recommend him only if English is your major. It is difficult to earn an A in his class; however, it is not impossible. The grade in the class is based of 3 essays and peer evaluation . In addition, you also have to do some quizzes and assignments that are due in between the essay deadlines.
I took this class online. The workload is a little tedious. There are two 900 word essays, a 1800 word research paper, and several homework assignments throughout the semester. The level of difficulty was above average, but he was a good professor. He makes you work for it. Easy B, difficult A.
His class isn't for most writers. His is very much goal oriented. He wants you to read what the paper requires and just that. Not so much the context of the paper. If you're an aspiring writer I think you're better off with someone else. If you're able to just write and check off the list of things he wants to see you'll be okay. Not alot o freedom
best English professor. you will do a lot of homework
Professor Schulz is amazing! Im not much of a writer but his lectures are easy to comprehend and hes very detailed in what he wants regarding assignments. He gives extra credit, replies fast to emails, and doesnt require you to buy any books. EVERYTHING is given to you online. Take this professor, you wont be sorry.
All lectures are easy to understand. No textbooks needed. 3 essays, 1 Final essay, a few easy quizzes. He replies back fast to emails. Your papers will be based off of online readings. You will be challenged to become better in your writing technique and overall presentation of your essay. He will make you write using different formats like MLA,etc
Dr. Schulz is a phenomenal instructor! If you want to improve your writing skills, then take his class! He gives very detailed feedback on every assignment, which is very beneficial. Yes, his class is challenging; however, it's definitely worth it. If you're lazy, his class isn't for you because you actually have to work for your grade.
Dr. Schulz teaches comprehensive and goal oriented lectures. Dr. Shulz is an instructor you'll be glad you signed up for. Dr. Schulz goes above and beyond your expectations. Dr. Schulz directs you in a way where you will be able to exceed your academic goal, however the progress is only up to your own work ethic for your results.
I don't recommend this professor,very hard grading,so if you have option run and don't take him you will destroyed your GPA if you will take him.
He is a great professor! He cares about his students and stays late after class for any questions you have and explains everything really good. I took hybrid class with him. 4 essays, couples of quizzes and assignments in class but very simple. Attend class to understand what the essays have to be about a little difficult but really liked his class
He's nice and also helpful.
I have always considered English to be an easy A, but this professor is tough and the opposite of that. He wants you to be very specific in how he wants you to write a paper and grades said paper with a fine tooth comb. I have never received such poor grading in my life (beware). Good luck if you do not know how to cite your sources down to a .
The professor is very detail-oriented. You MUST do all essays. If you skip one essay, you will not be able to proceed or pass the class. He does not accept excuses. Requires participation such as peer evaluation. You must read all notes in order to pass. He communicates well via email. Do not take this class if you like being graded hard.
Too much homework on a daily basis. Assumes all students are straight from high school, and is evident in his choice of words and method of assignments. Releases work in piecemeal - good for an high school straight to college student, but a nightmare for someone that holds a 12 hours per day, 6 days a week job. Avoid this lecturer if you can!
He was really nice and a straight forth teacher. We weren't given much work throughout the course. 3 Essays, a Final Essay, 3 discussion boards, and 3 short quizzes. I would just say read the lectures so you know what he is grading for and to turn in all assignments on time and you'll be good.
Medicore. You will like this course if you know how to really write but it was hard for me because he was a difficult person.
Professor Schulz is a really good professor and I learned a lot but he is a difficult grader. There's a very clear rubric but the slightest thing he will mark you down for. The really good thing is that he gives great feedback for future papers if you opt in to that option.
