Wonderful teacher who helps international and domestic students with developmental English classes. You can even find him hanging in the student center during his off time to help students. Way to go George! :). keep it up!
Cool guy
GOOD Guy very helpful..... Always there to help students.... I thought he was **** .. but i'm not sure
Great teachers. Went out of his way to go over your essays and gave you extra time if you needed it. deadlines to him were only a mere guideline. Go to class and make an effort and you will do well as long as you just keep up with your work

best teacher, always there to help, give you more time if needed, overall best of best
george is totally awesome. he talks a lot and hardly 'teaches' at all, but when you're taking 301 it's not like there's much you need to be taught. he obsesses over everyone's papers so its really really hard to do poorly.

Best one there is... Do your work and he will give you the grade you deserve!!!
Best teacher ever. I dislike english but he helps u a lot so u can definately do good in his class
George is the most wonderful man. Very helpful. This man taught me how to write. I now teach English myself, and I have this man to thank for it. I hope you read this, George!
I don't know what the rest of you are talking about, because I think this guy was a HORRIBLE writing teacher. Completely disorganized. Hard to get in touch with outside of class. He assured me that my final draft was excellent, and then I find out that I got an F. Thanks, jerk.
Talks a lot, but really helpful. gives extra time if need... a great teacher..
He's a cool teacher. He's really funnyand very interested in his own personal life. Overall, he seems cool for now.
hes rellie easy.. he corrects ur rough draft.. basically bring in some crap u write.. he will correct it all for u.. the more u bring in for each draft.. the better u do.. hes always late for meetings but he does his best to help students.. hes da best.. although i onli got a B but i rellie did nothing.. not paid attention in class.
He is very DEVOTED!!! George wants you to get the best possible grade you can get!
The most talktive person I ever met.
He is an awesome teacher! he helps to do every single paper and give you so much idea...Impossible to fail if you just go to classes and take his ideas. Go to his meeting then you are guaranteed to get B to A
george is a great man and an extremely good teacher everyone should take him he is awesome
I had George for Research in Disciplines and he is absolutely great!! He is beyond helpful. He makes personal conferences with each student to make sure that they get the help they need. There is not a better professor at Rutgers, or anywhere else!
i took his class in fall 2005 and learned a great deal from him. he made me confident of writing and he really takes a lot of his time into helping his students out. such a great, great teacher!
He is an awesome guy, very helpful to all his students. He is very fair in grading the paper.....just go to his classes and participate in the class.....and all listen to his talks....and you are 100% sure to get A/B+.....
Gosh, he is the greatest teacher ever! a fair grader, great instructor, he teaches you everything you need for writing, follow his instruction and you will do fine for his class!!!
Expos 2 is a hard class but George is an AMAZING professor - i recommend taking him for any english class regardless of the subj for expos2: do exactly what he says and you'll be fine in the class- one of the best professors at Rutgers
this is the BEST teacher here at rutgers!! he truly cares about his students and although he may look like...i guess...a bum..he is so wonderful! he would do anything to see his students pass!
even though george is allergic to punctuality, it is easy to overlook. he really goes the extra mile to make sure your paper is the best it can be and that you are the best writer you can be. you'd be crazy to pass up a class he teaches.
george, george, george. he was a VERY interesting professor...although the 1st couple of days i didnt kno what to think of him, during the duration of the class i was able to find out how kind hearted this professor. He was opened to any suggestions that would enable a student to pass a class. overall george was the best freakin prof. EVER!!!!!!!!!
He's one of the best teachers here at Rutgers! Makes classes fun and try to keep it as relaxing as possible. As long as you come to class, talk to him about your paper, you'll be fine. He'll do anything he can to get you a good grade!
If you want him to tell you exactly what you need to do, do it for you, so you can pass the course then take this man.If you like engaging with a topic to learn more than you thought possible, this man will be your plague.Never arrives on time, then lies about when he arrived to make himself look better.His stories are killer.Worst Professor EVER!!
George- what a guy. I didn't do as well as I would have liked on the final paper, but he is still a great prof. He tells you exactly what you need to do to alter your paper into an A paper. Doing the alterations on your own on the other hand is a totally different story, and you have to be self-motivated for it. Never comes on time. Nice guy.
He is one of the greatest professor ever for english at rutgers.professors will also tell you the same thing. just do the work on time and make as many drafts as you can and then ask him for his comments. He will tell you exactly what you need to do. Make your nice impression on him and then it will be his job to get you an A.
George, What a great man. Just Show that you care about your grade and are working hard. Make nice impression on him and then it will be his job to get you good grade. Really, THE BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR at rutgers. Even if you ask other english professor, they will agree on his greatness. He is extremely helpful: spends ALL of his LIFE for students
Great Teacher!!!! Very funny guy and helps you alot. He is awesome!!!!
GEORGE.....BEST TEACHER EVER...I WAS PART OF A HIGH SCHOOL CLASS(SENIOR YEAR) TAKING BASIC COMP AND EXPOS AND HE BY FAR WAS THE BEST TEACHER EVER. HES ALWAYS HELPFUL AND TELLS YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT UR PAPER. BECAUSE OF HIM I PASSED BOTH CLASS WHILE CONTINUING MY REG H.S. CLASSES. HIS MAIN GOAL IS FOR YOU TO EARN(EMPHASIS) AN A+ BY HELPING YOU.
Great Professor! He dedicates so much time to his students and has endless energy to help them. Very sweet and as long as you make a good impression on him (show that you want to get a good grade), he will do all he can to help get you a good grade (but you have to work for it). I didn't look forward another semester of expos but it was great.
very laid back teacher. tells stories over and over but its bearable. he was a great teacher for expos 201 because for most of us, we didn't want to be in that class. he works hard to get you the grade you want but you have to work hard too. writing a paper that long isn't easy but he definitely helps a lot.
best english lecturer ever! :) extremely helpful!
The man. He makes you do your work, but hell teach you to write like a champ. Hell go COMPLETELY out of his way to help you get at least a B. Probably one of the most chill and helpful professors at Rutgers. Take him if your not stupid
George is the most amazing prof. ever. I learned so much in his class. He is beyond helpful. I love his personality and sense of humor. Such an understanding person and his passion is to help out students. He ACTUALLY cares about his students. Learning how to write such long papers is not that easy but his tips and outlines help out a lot.Take him!
very laid back. fun class. easy A
He is the best. If you think twice you are highly mistaken. His guidance will help you understand other English courses also. If you think you cant write then George knows who to turn you around.
Great professor. Extremely helpful. Make sure you get him early since his classes are usually full.
George is the best. I learned so much during his class. I always looked forward to his class because they were never boring. He will always help you in any way he can no matter what time it is, which is why he is always late to meet others lol. Honestly the best professor at Rutgers.
The worst teacher I have ever met. He is so strict to my papers.I got an F eventually
He is the easiest teacher but he is not so helpful. If you attend his classes and he likes you, you will do fine. At first he will review your drafts and as the semester ends he will review very fast try to get him to always review your papers. but go ahead and take him!! Easy!
Awesome teacher!! really does try to help you. although he tends to go over class time and come late to meetings, his class and personality is very interesting. class was very enjoyable.
the absolute best teacher, he is so helpful . he is a great teacher, very interesting.
George is awesome. You may have no idea what is going on in class and confused as to what the purposes of certain discussions are however, when it comes down to it he is always there to help. Devotes so much of his time to sit and work on your paper with you and clearly directs you on how to improve. Not strict so it's up to u to not procrastinate
Professor Schroepfer is the nicest and most helpful professor! He gives you a lot of guidance on papers and extensions if you need it. Lectures are a little boring, but his disposition more than makes up for it. He is a fair grader and easy to communicate with (by email and face-to-face). Take him!!
He's a great professor. He will read what you write and say what he thinks what you're saying. No joke, what you write is more profound and complicated than you think. This professor helps you understand what you think you understand. I think this is what makes him so great. Take his film study class. You won't regret anything.
George is an amazing professor. As admittedly not the best student, he saved my grade in the class when most professors would have failed me. He goes so far out of his way to help you. The night before the final paper was due, he was reviewing my work at 2 a.m., amidst his super busy schedule. This man will move mountains to give youthe best chance
George is great. He cares enough to go the extra mile to help you to get a good grade if you show that you're willing to work for it. This is not a bs class; you have to put some effort in your writing. But, George is clear with what he wants in each paper so pay attention. He's lenient with deadlines and takes a lot of time to edit your drafts.
submit drafts often and let him comment on them! it's hard to get lower than a B if you do all the work and follow what he says (he knows what he's doing). also give yourself lots of time for working on your final paper since it is a big portion of your grade
George is amazing. I like writing to begin with but took this class because I had to (failed it the first time when I was pledging). He is so helpful! His comments are pretty clear and sure the paper itself requires a lot of work, but he makes the class so fun and chill. He's super lenient with deadlines too. Got an A. 55 for sure. TAKE HIM.
the easist teacher in writing courses. TAKE HIM!!!!!
He is an awesome professor and he is very chill back! this is my second course with him!
George is the best professor I've met so far. I'm a pharmacy major and was very worried as I thought I was terrible at writing. Didn't get an amazing grade in Expos too. But when I had him for Research in Discipline, it was just an amazing class. Take him!!!!!!!!! He'll guide you to the best paper you will ever write.
Best professor. Great lectures, very helpful and open minded.
best prof i have ever had! take him for ead II, do the homework! and then you are definitely pass
I love George. most helpful professor i've ever had. he commits so much time into his students. he helps whenever you need help. amazing soul. i would text him at 2am asking for help on the paper and he would be there. the paper ends up being really long but thats any research in discipline class. he makes it easier for you if you put in the work
I had him for 2 english classes and I must say he is amazing!!! His comments are really helpful. HE WILL GUIDE YOU and tell you EXACTLY what to do. Love this dude! Be ready to hear cool stories about his life too :P
George is a great professor with great teaching styles and great stories. He will make time to help you. He is an awesome professor and a wonderful person but that does not mean his class is an easy A. You have to meet him halfway and work with him to get that A. He is also very good-looking and has very nice hair and a hilarious guy.
George was excellent, always there for you and willing to work with your schedule. He would always set up conferences with you if you needed extra help with your paper. He has lots of great stories he tells the class.
Best professor I have ever had in RU, he is very nice and ring to help!
George is very easygoing, patient and he loves to help his students. Besides, I learned many practical skills from his class, which helps me set up for Basic Comp. Overall, a very generous professor. If you can, take his class.
The best professor you can have for expos. Extremely helpful and great work ethics. Class is layback and grading is fair.
George is the best professor I've ever had. He made this class as fun as a writing class can be, and he is very enthusiastic about the job. Genuinely cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. As long as you put in hard work and listen to his suggestions, there is no way you will have trouble. Best professor at Rutgers by far.
He is very helpful and approachable. If you have a problem he has a solution. Best professor at RU. The essays are also on interesting topics and pretty easy to complete.
George is by far the most helpful professor here at Rutgers. Ive never taken a professor that really truly wants his students to do as well as George. his assignments are not too bad and everything is explained thoroughly. great guy.
He is the most respected prof at Rutgers. TAKE HIM!!! He wants you to do good and he wants to help you in anyway he can. Amazing guy
Trust me, the nicest professor but a strict harder. Show your work and you can at least get B beyond. Choose him!
Took him at Kean University in 1990 and 1991 - best prof I have ever had (includes grad school). Taught me so much about writing - I am an accountant and I use what he taught me every day. Great guy, easy going and relatable. Not sure I was too crazy about his choice in music, but not everyone is perfect. Lucky to have met him!
Funny, talkative, smart, entertaining, extremely helpful. Learned a lot about writing, made the class easy and fun, talks about his own life a lot. one 5 page paper, 1 10 page paper, 1 presentation, 5 source evals. Tells you exactly what you need to do to get an A. Decent amount of work but very doable. Best teacher I have ever had! Take him!!
George is a sweetheart. Also gives great feedback on your papers, which is the only reason I got As on all of them. He tells you exactly what to do to get a good grade and makes class so much fun.
Pro. Schroepfer is an inspiration. He loves his job. He loves his students. He is full of energy. He is your best friend, your mentor. He has this ability to inspire you with his presence. I took his class in 2004, I gave him a book from Ismail Kadare. It seemed like the thought of that gift touched his heart. I hope he remembers. -Love you George
Prof makes every effort to work with you and ensure that you succeed, but to get a good grade you need to put the work in. Read your sources carefully and go to conferences prepared with questions. He is relatable and I think this is what makes him inspiring, but b sure to pay attention when he gives you feedback! I would take him again if I could.
Prof Schroepfer is by far the BEST English teacher. He is devoted to improving every student's writing by teaching us how to explain more effectively. He taught us the difference between information and analysis, which is really important in expos. Take him for basic, you will learn so much in his class.
Professor S. is undoubtedly the most accessible professor I've ever had, he always makes himself available to you whenever you need him. Even though there's a lot of research and writing involved, he gives you lots of tips to help you succeed. As long as you make a genuine and consistent effort, you'll do well in the class.
George makes a class like Basic Comp way more fun. He makes classes more entertaining by bringing in his own stories along with real-world relevant stories. He wants every student to get an A. As long as you put a good amount of effort in the class, you will be fine!
Hilarious, VERY candid - the use of profanity and saying things most teachers would say makes him very lovable. Likes talking about past experiences and old students, which is fine. Very understanding, flexible, and lenient. Constantly expands due dates. Down to earth and conversational. decent effort = good grade
If you put in any kind of effort he will see that and reward you for it. He is literally always available to help and made a super long paper way less daunting and more manageable. Super easy grader and will basically give you the answers if you just ask. Just be kind and do your work and you'll forever be on his good side. A little crazy but funny
Professor Schroepfer is the best professor to take for Research in the Disciplines. Being required to complete five source evaluations, three rough drafts, and a final essay, the assignments become much easier if you go to class and join his office hours. A solid 10/10 professor
Professor Schroepfer is one of the best writing professors I have ever had. Architecture is not my level of expertise, and I knew nothing about it, so I was even more scared. But the fact that he gives excellent feedback and is actually willing to teach his students about architecture is inspirational. Love his class, take this professor.
He is a tough grader, doesn't give much feedback, and takes extremely long to grade the papers. He changed the syllabus too late into the semester causing chaos in my class. While he is nice, he talks too much and gets off track easily sometimes leaving students confused about the assignment.
Nice, considerate teacher. Takes forever to provide feedback on papers. Left early a few times because he couldn't get to me. Supposed to have a writing conference with him a few times, but he was a no show. Also happened to other students. Didn't know what he expected for our research papers. No guidelines! I don't know how I passed his class.
Professor Schroepfer is the best teacher. He spent lots of time with the student to revise their paper, to make sure as large as possible, every student could get an A. Although you may wait lots of time during his conference, it's useful. And you can definitely get an A with him!!
George Schroepfer is the greatest professor that I have ever had. He is incredibly understanding, funny, and caring, and is super lenient with due dates. His Research in the Disciplines 201 class caused me to look at film as a medium in a completely new way. Great guy all around.
Great professor who values your work ethic and knows who wants to do well in the class. He holds conferences every week and provides valuable feedback for your essays. He is also one of the only professors I know who extends deadlines to accommodate for upcoming exams, busy weeks, etc.
I had him for expos, and he is a great teacher while he does get sidetracked during class telling stories overall though he is clear about what he wants in the paper as long as you talk to him. Also, he is accessible outside the class during office hours and gives good advice for papers.
He is a nice guy, very down to Earth. But hes extremely unorganized, gets his students mixed up and is late every single day. I felt bad for him bc hes old and a nice guy, but he has you running around like crazy at the end of the semester bc of how unorganized he is.
George is a great professor. He knows his stuff and cares about improving his students' writing abilities. I had a lot going on at the end of the semester and he was incredibly gracious on giving me extra time for the final paper. I would recommend him for any topic in 201 but definitely for film.
I have a lot of respect for George and his care for his students. Sadly, I believe he is retiring this summer, so I hope his last semester treats him well. If you genuinely show up with questions, you will have no problem getting an A. He may be old and late at times, but he still puts 100% in class. He even showed up after suffering a bloody fall.
George is retiring, but his class is very boring; he repeats the same unfunny joke many times. Assignments were easy but overly complicated by his explanations and directions. Grading is lenient and easy but class is unbearable.
George is a very chill teacher kinda like a grandpa. I had him last for 101 in the fall, and he was very caring and understanding. He will give you an extension if you talk to him. He's very inclusive too, he would talk to the internationals more but nothing against that. Only like 4 main projects and pretty easy grade if you do it.
Overall a great professor who provides valuable feedback and is willing to accommodate students. The class can be challenging, but engaging with the material and using tools like unstuck ai can really help.
very good professor, always willing to help you with the papers althought u might wait some time before he sees ur paper after class but overrall passionate teacher
Had him for 101. He's retiring but planning to come back. Yes his lectures were boring, but he made 101 easy and didn't give us an unbearable amount of work. The papers we did write were not difficult at all, although his explanations of assignments is not clear. Would recommend you take English with him if possible
