Funny guy. Great teacher!
Great teacher. Explains stuff well.
Tells jokes in class and will review so that you fully understand material.
Great teacher, very funny, very clear explanations.
CRAZY AS HELL, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!
Well, to say the least, this professor is hilarious. I love him as a math professor, he presents things to students in a way where what you are learning is extremely interesting.
Okay I must be an idiot because this cat I thought was hard. He gets off the subject all the time and I had a hard time following. I thought it was hard and I am good at math.
You can not hate this man. He will stay up all night with you to make sure you know your stuff.Only FMU Pro that was kicked out for his grades..LOL..
dr. schnibben is a funny professor, but he is way too hard to follow. he gets excited really easy and always seems to be in a rush. he jumps all around when he is teaching and i wound up teaching myself.
he is my best professor, all you have to do is ask if u don't understand and he will break his back to make you understand, and you might want to laugh at his jokes to make him happy, all around great guy
Schnibben is the best! I had to study and do my homework in his class but he explains things on a very elementary level. He goes over things MORE than once. His test are very straight foreward and he replaces the lowest test grade with your final if its higher!! TAKE HIM!!!
Schnibben is really cool. His class is really easy. His test are a no brainer. He is very helpful and explains evrything very well. If your average rounds up to an A you don't have to take the final. Great guy, funny!
He was a very great teacher. He makes math fun with his corny jokes, but overall he explains the material very well. I would highly rec. him for any math class he teaches.
VERY NICE TEACHER. MAKES THE CLASS FUN. HE LOVES STAR TREK. HE IS REALLY HELPFUL IF YOU EVER NEED HELP. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO SOMEONE THAT WAS LD (LEARNING DISABILITY)
Excellent teacher; love the don't have to take the exam if you have an A- I took this class with Gower my first semester in college got a F retook it with him and got an A!
this man is the greatest for math...GO SCHNIBBEN! You rock homie...
Best and funniest teacher ever. Totally easy A and you would be crazy if you could take him and didn't. Dr. S is tha man!!!!!!
This man made me appreciate math! He's super funny and his teaching methods are wonderful!
After I had a class with Gower and realized how horrible she was, some friends talked me into taking Schibben. Schnibben's great, he totally changed my view on math. Hillarious guy. His 3rd test was a killer, but the others were easy.
This guy will make you want to come to class. He's hillarious...also a great teacher. The second test killed me, but I rebounded and came out with an A. Great at explaning stuff, oh and did I say funny? Definitely a must take.
DR. SCHNIBBEN HAS TO BE HANDS DOWN THE BEST MATH TEACHER AT FMU!! HE IS SOOO EASY AND OUTGOING! EVEN THOUGH HE MAY TALK ON SUBJECTS OUTSIDE OF MATH AT TIMES IT MAKES THE CLASS FUN AND INTERESTING. HIS TEST ARE VERY EASY IF U STUDY AND REALLY NOT STUDY THAT HARD!! I RECOMMEND FOR ALL MATH CLASSES AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE TAKING HIM AGAIN
Dr. Schibben was one of the funniest teachers I've ever had. Put that together with being a good teacher and that makes a great combination.
He was one of the best teachers I ever had. He is so funny and makes class worth going to. He explains everything very well and you never do a lot of work in his class because he gets on different subjects like talking about movies or just telling jokes. Highly recommended
Mr. S is very interesting and funny. I would recommend him to anybody. He cracks a lot of jokes in class, but you actually learn something.
This guy rocks. He's such an adorable geek. He knows Klingon will speak it in class! Go Schnibb-co!!!!
Dr. Schnibben is awesome! He made math easy. He likes to joke a lot, but I've found that it's the jokes that help you remember the material. This was the one class that I actually enjoyed going to. He managed to make calculus easier than it seemed in high school. I would reccomend him to anyone, even if you don't like math. Take him!
He is unbelievable the biggest geak ever, but the man is hilarious. He totally cracked me up! He so reminds me of the dad off of honey i shrunk the kids!!! lol!!! he is so funny! i failed his class because i so suck at math but i did learn a few new things! he is wonderful and if you really pay attention and try to learn you will pass no problem!

Dr Schnibben is hands down the best professor ever. He made Calculus seem so easy. I made an A in his class. He makes class so much fun and test are not real hard. If you go to class and pay attention and do your homework, you will make an A in this class. I wish I could have him for all my maths.
This guy is hilarious!! I made a D because frankly I didn't do a damn thing, but thats not his fault. He is really pretty easy.
Dr. Schnibben is not a notes professor. He does not really explain how stuff connects from one topic to another. However, he is a funny professor. He does have a dark side, so watch out for that.
Absolutely the best professor in any field. He is such a good teacher, and is always willing to help.
This man is awesome. He teaches but he also talks about crazy things. You can come to class and not be bored. He has alot of funny things to say and watch out he can just yell out randomly. Yes he is hilarious. He is smart and he knows what he is talking about. He is one of my fav. Professors. You've got to listen and do the homework. Perfct.
I wish I could have him for ALL my math classes. He is the best professor at FMU, hands down!
He is the best teacher I can say that I have ever had at Francis Marion. He is so funny and keeps that class interesting the whole time. He makes you not want to even miss class. He breaks the math information done so good and you need to go to class so you can get all the helpful information! He is the best math teacher ever!

schnibby is the man. he's the best professor. if you need a class that he's teaching, sign up early because everyone knows how awesome he is!
He is very funny and keeps class interesting. Explains things well and has some great tricks to help you remember concepts. He's dorky, but a GREAT teacher.
Whoo! This professor is awesome for all the sci-fi nerds like myself. In Trig, he'll show a picture of DS9 on the first day and talk about tareems. Gotta love it. ^^
He is a clown, and he loves to joke around. He a GREAT teacher and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!! He is willing to work with you, and his office is always open. Be prepared to listen to a story every time you got to class. He's a very cool guy!
This guy is the man! If you are the type that falls asleep in class... this man is for you. He is interesting and funny enough to keep you awake, but if you feel like sleeping, go right ahead. He won't even wake you!
I absolutely adore this man! He is a wonderful teacher and explains everything so well. He is fun and easy to get along with. He is a fair grader and will go out of his way to make sure that the student grasps the material. I highly recommend him.
Wonderful teacher, great man! So funny and interesting,goes out of his way to help you. He's a great man. I highly recommend him!
Funny
Honestly, an elementary school kid could pass this class. And he teaches as if we are still in elementary school, too.
I don't even have to take math classes at FMU but I go to the 4th floor of his building just to catch a look at this guy.
Great teacher.
He is an awesome professor. I am extremely terrible at math and I can actually grasp it with his teaching. He is also really fun which makes an otherwise boring class one of my favorites to attend. He gives extra credit and he gives really good study guides before each test. Highly recommended.
Pretty easy. He teaches well and keeps you interested.
He is very willing to help you. It's not mandatory that you do your homework but if you are a point or two away from a grade doing the homework will benefit you later
extremly helpful
His class is very unorganized. Don't expect to be able to know what matieral will be covered before hand. He makes a lot of pointless jokes that have nothing to do with the class. Funny? Yes. Good professor? No.
This class was quite easy. He is a nice teacher and allows you to exempt your final! Which I did. Do your homework, it isn't that hard and it will help your grade. He likes to make a lot of jokes so class goes by fast. I generally don't like math, but this was an easy clas.
LOVE THIS CLASS!
Schnibben is a nice and funny guy. HOWEVER, the way he teaches leaves something to be desired. His class is very unorganized. He tells way too many jokes and doesnt work enough problems. He goes over easy stuff in class, yet makes test questions more difficult. I have no clue what will be asked of me on a test. I need more structure in math cla
He is very funny & has great intentions on making sure his students succeed. If you do not go to class everyday you will be lost if you do not review on your own. And make sure to pay attention!
Good Teacher, very helpful. His final is based upon his previous tests so if you study the material, you will do well. Save your tests.
Easy professor. However, He tends to get off track and spends way to much time talking about things that have nothing to do with what hes teaching. Dont take him if you plan to go to grad school and are taking mcat or pcat. Doesn't cover as much material as he should. He ran out of time at the end of the semester, important sections were skipped.
He's okay! Could stay on topic a lot more but class is easy. Do your homework.
He is a great professor, very helpful and caring. Can tell he has alot of knowledge.
Very great teacher and funny. Always learn something new that has to deal with real life situations
Hilarious and a very easy class. Always something interesting to learn
TAKE THIS CLASS. Easiest teacher at FMU. Do the homework. Attendance is mandatory at first but by halfway through he stops caring. Class is boring, he talks about things no one cares about. Very nice and very easy
I really enjoyed this teacher. He is very nice and extremely helpful, and his class was a great Christian atmosphere. He is very smart and wants to do everything he can to help you know interesting things about everyday life. He rambles some, but his stories always tie in with the lesson.I would certainly recommend taking him.
A great teacher, made statistics come to life.
If you are going to take Math 134 take George! He helps you get your mind off the "fear" of math by telling silly stories and jokes that cleverly tie back to the lesson plan. Elementary style of teaching that helps build a solid foundation in stats. Bravo!
Great teacher
Dr. Schnibben is who I want to be like when I am old.
awesome teacher!
He is super funny for an old guy. He rambles sometimes but knows his stuff! Made Trigonometry easy to pass! Definitely take him!!!! Not anyone else!
He would ramble randomly about things that didn't seem to have anything to do with Math but was interesting to know. He was very willing to help and explain things that were not understood. He is a very good professor because he is willing to help and works with you outside class if need be.
He's an amazing teacher. Although he may get off subject a few times, he knows his material. He's hilarious. He doesn't always take attendance, but if you don't come, you'll fail. There are only 4 test, and as long as you practice on the homework and take good notes in class, you should be fine. Overall he's one of the best at FMU.
He is a cool teacher if you don't want to learn much. Gets off topic frequently and I didn't seem to learn much. Over simple and easy.
Although he tends to get off topic, he is a wonderful teacher. He knows his stuff really well and breaks it down for you. He may not always know what problems he has assigned for homework, but he will forever be one of my favorite math teachers. I am giving him a chilly pepper so he can tell his wife he is hot.
Dr. Schnibben is one of the best teachers I have ever had in math. I use to struggle with understanding concepts but he makes it so easy to understand. He is hilarious and will often get off topic, however, he still covers the material in great detail. Take his class!!
Dr. Schnibben was an amazing professor! He does talk about irrelevant subjects during class. But it doesn't throw you off.
Dr. Schnibben is one of my favorites, and I've gotten good ones! While he does get off track at times, it's well worth it and doesn't make you feel overloaded with material. He's a breath of fresh air. Take him at all costs!
Dr. Schnibben is a great professor. If you don't get distracted by his narratives and stories. Attendance is required the first part of the semester, but he doesn't check after midways through. He's really refreshing, but sometimes grumpy in the mornings. Overall, if you want easy, but not overworking yourself chose him.
SUPER FUNNY! He gets off on a tangent but he really is a good teacher. He's so willing to help you succeed! He gives clear instructions and explains everything pretty well. Lots of homework but it's all due before the test. He also drops a low test grade
Best professor at FMU! Super corny. Extremely helpful and repetitive for comprehension. Gives multiple ways to accomplish a problem and loves questions! Definitely recommend!!!
Best math professor ever! He is very nice and respects and cares for his students. He tells many jokes and funny stories thorough the semester. He is extremely smart and knows a lot about math and various other topics. Gives a lot of homework but the homework is a grade booster so do it. I recommend him for math 132!
He's an Ok professor, but you don't really learn a lot. I will say he is one of the nicer math professors and he cares and is willing to help you if needed. There isn't a lot of homework, only a couple of problems per test. He gives 4 exams and a final so not many grades. Do the homework, it can boost you a letter grade.
He gets off topic a lot and very easily. You can be learning about triangles and he will go on a tangent about his trip to Paris or something. But hes very nice and understanding.
Best math professor at FMU. If you need to take statistics and probability don't take anyone else.
Dr. Schnibben is a real gem! Both of my parents took him while they were in college and loved him. His lectures are hilarious and he will give you formula sheets for most exams. Pay attention to the problems he does in class, do the homework, and you're set!
The best professor ever! He is funny and will always see him in the Magnolia Mall. I went to class up until the first exam because he teaches you the very BASICS and nothing more. I made an A on the exam, so I stopped going to class. If you high school math department was A1, this is the class for you. Just do his homework.
To pass his class, literally just show up and take notes. You only need your book to do his homework which is due the date you take your test on that chapter. He tends to ramble and go off on random whimsical lectures about his love for mathematics which to some can be distracting, but he offers great comedic relief. Definitely take his class!
Dr. Schnibben was by far the best professor I have ever had. His notes are straight forward. His tests come straight from the notes. You only need the book to do the homework assignments. I recommend taking this class with him. He keeps the class interesting, and his jokes are by far the best. Attendance is mandatory the first couple of weeks.
Best trig teacher at fmu, I wish I had taken him for calculus
This has to be one of the best professors ever!! Prior to taking this professor, I had dropped this class with other professors. Dr Schnibben taught the material so well that I actually looked forward to class. He is also quite funny and his test are never hard. Highly recommended!!!
Best prob & stats professor i had. Only does a few tests and only checks if homework is done (doesn't grade them). One of the few professors that lets you exempt final (need an A though). He's really funny and only a few of us get his comedy, which is funnier. Taking him for Math 134 cause i switched majors. but take him if you can for real though.
He's the very best math teacher, explains everything so well. Took Prob & Stats and Trig with him. Made it super easy and understandable. I transferred to another college and skimming through trig, glad I took cause this professor doesn't explain it well. He's a life saver. TAKE HIM for all your math classes that he teaches
Best case scenario for a math class! He makes the material easy to understand and his tests are simple. Plus he is hilarious, and had me dying in every class. Take him!
Dr. Schnibben is easily my favorite professor I've ever had. He somehow finds a way to integrate hilarious jokes and stories into his lectures, and I always left his classroom with a smile on my face. TAKE HIMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Schnibben is the best. He is my favorite math teacher of all time.
This is the second class I took with Dr.Schnibben and he is the best math professor on campus! He makes things easy to understand, and you can always look forward for a laugh in his class. He is always willing to help you. His homework is graded on completion, not correctness. He can get off topic, but it is usually a funny story. 10 out of 10.
Dr. Schnibben exceeds in making class fun! He is obviously passionate about math, and I would recommend everyone to take him if you have to.
Lectures can be very off topic. The tests are confusing. I got 100's on all the homework and studied hard and only passed with a C. Even if you understand the concepts, the tests will still confuse you. He took his time teaching for half the semester and then rushed through information and tests at the end. I don't recommend.
Good class, lectures often were off topic. Dr. Schnibben tries his best to make math fun. Enjoyed his class, tests were mostly easy, he provided cheat sheets for each one.
Professor Schnibben makes math fun and engaging. His lectures are informative with a healthy dose of humor. Attendance is mandatory, but the workload is manageable, especially with the help of resources like ChatGPT and Unstuck AI. Highly recommended for anyone looking to ace their math classes.
