great teaching style. Dr. S is interactive with the class yet still maintains and organized lecture and lab. He is also know to give extra credit for extra effort. He welcomes questions and always willing to help.
Pay attention and study, this class is easy.
Pay attention, take notes, ask questions, and study. Dr. S. will answer whatever questions you have and relates a lot of things to pop culture to help you remember.
Dr. Schauer is one of the best. He knows his stuff. The class can be really challenging but, he will do anything he can to help clarify. He is very patient and kind. I couldn't ever picture this man getting mad at anything. I started to really apply myself towards the end of the semester.I was really surprised much I was starting to enjoy Bio. lol
Even though I don't like Biology, I still passed this class with an A. Now, it is a hard class, you really got to know your material, but if you just study then you will be fine. Mr.Schauer is an amazing teacher. If you do not understand the material, he will do everything he can to help you. I will always recommend him. Great class!
Dr. S, is an outstanding professor, not only does he love what he teaches but he has a great attitude about. He once was a student and understand students. He is VERY helpful, dont be shy just talk with him. If you are fearful of Biology, dont be!! You can do it as long as you put forth the effort, and talk with Dr. S he is very helpful! take him!!
Dr. S is a wonderful professor who makes biology fun. He cares about his students and will bend over backwards to help you if you ask. He is funny and makes you laugh which helps you stay engaged throughout lecture. I would definitely recommend him. Truly a pleasure being his student and I'm sad to be moving on. It's beyond bittersweet for me.
Dr. Schauer is an amazing professor. He makes learning fun, and you can tell that he really enjoys teaching. His lectures are great, witty and taught in a way that anyone can understand. I highly recommend him for any class. I thoroughly enjoyed his class.
Great professor who takes time to explain things in depth. If you pay attention you will make an A.
The best class for science that I have ever taken. Schauer not only teaches you the information but he WANTS you to know it and does a fantastic job. He keeps you interested even during the driest lessons, and cares when teaching so if you have a question, do it. If you know the information he will reward you on the tests. Take this class! 10/10
Beyond terrific teacher! I hated biology before I took this class and now I love it. He really teaches in a way that makes you want to learn. Gives tons of opportunity for bonus points on exams and helped me a ton when I was hospitalized and missed two out of six weeks. Highly recommend.
Dr. Schauer is one of the best out there. He sincerely cares about his students. He goes out of his way to make sure we understand the material. He is compassionate which is not common in a professor. Couldn't ask for a better or knowledgable instructor! On a scale of 1-10 I rate him a 15!
Class was simple and clear, enjoyed Dr. Schauer!
This is the one of best professors I have ever had!I don't believe I have ever really liked science, and I really still do not like science, but Dr. Schauer made me enjoy the class just about as much as I possibly could given the circumstances. I have never had chemistry, but this teacher helped me through it, and I think I will make an A!
loved this class i will be taking bio 2 with dr.s!!!
I absolutely hate Biology,but surprisingly enjoy this class. Thanks to hard work,I will end up with a B after this class is over. It will take hard work, since it has been 20 years since I have had any science class.Dr.Schauer is a great teacher!
He is freakin awesome! He tells you exactly what he wants which isn't common in professors and helps you learn. He's open about questions and makes it fun. I don't really care to much about biology but I loved learning and going to his class everyday.
SCHAUER IS THE BEST. One of the greatest professors I've ever had in terms of keeping class interesting. Science isn't my best subject, but the way he lectured had the whole class asking questions because they wanted to know more. Never a dull moment. He's the best at what he does! Definitely take this guys class. 10/10
Schauer makes Biology fun and interesting! Everything on the tests is covered in class and he gives tons of extra credit opportunities!
Dr. S is an amazing teacher!!! I've never had so much fun in a class before and learned everything I needed too. He's super encouraging also!!! All material on tests is covered in class and his projects are super easy if you do what he says!!! I wish he could teach all of my classes!
Dr. Schauer is a very very very good teacher. His class is fun and he is so nice. It is very easy to get a good grades if you follow his steps.
Dr.Schauer is an excellent professor and would definitely recommend! I was unsure about how I would do in this class at first, but with the hard work and studying it definitely paid off! His lectures are interesting and he is funny as well! He offers a substantial amount of extra credit and is really encouraging and helpful to all of his students.
Dr. Schauer is probably one of the most genuinely compassionate people I have ever met. He genuinely cares about his students and will help you in anyway that he can. I ask a lot of questions, and although they were usually asinine, he always humored me and patiently answered them without making me feel stupid. He is also very witty. Take his class
I have TOTALLY enjoyed this class!!! What a great experience!!! Great learning opportunity for all students. Best instructor I have ever had.
He is a wonderful teacher who actually cares about the subject and his students.
Enjoyed the class. He makes learning BIO I enjoyable. I took the 6 week summer session and was scared I would bomb the class due to so much information. Great teacher!!!
This is one of the first classes that I have actually enjoyed and didn't feel assignments were painful. Teacher goes above and beyond to help you excel in the class if you put forth the effort! Highly Recommend!!
i HATE SCIENCE BUT HE MADE IT FUN AND EASY! HE MAKES SURE HIS STUDENTS HAVE EVERYTHING TO PASS HIS CLASS. ANSWERS ANY QUESTIONS IF NEEDED, EMAILS BACK IN A TIMELY MANNER. HE IS A AWESOME TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great class very interesting the interest helped me stay focus and receive a good grade not boring at all. Very helpful and clear information.
Dr. S is great. The class was online but the lab was face to face. The atmosphere was relaxed and I learned plenty without being under pressure except at exam time. One of the best professors in the science division. We had a few glitches with the online course tools but he's responsive and approachable. Video lecture, power-points for notes.
Best professor I have ever had. Cares about his students. Is very clear in his expectations.
SUCH A FUNNY TEACHER! This class makes my day, even though I don't like science, because Dr. Schauer is so funny!
This professor is amazing if you pay attention and show up for class. He is very friendly and truly cares about the students.
Love him! Adorably nerdy but seriously intelligent.
I took ENVR SCI with Dr. S and ended the course with a 109. He does everything in his power to make sure that you excel in his class and is extremely helpful. If you readlisten to the lectures and do the reviews, you will for sure get an A. I did not even buy the textbook because of all the information he made available to us.
EASIEST LAB EVER. All 10 labs were online and he gives you extra credit for every lab if you answer all question. YOU DO NOT NEED THE LAB KIT OR MANUAL. He posts everything you need online and most of the work is simple and he gives you the results. I cannot express how easy this lab was and how I wish I could take him for all classes.
Dr. Schauer is one of the best teachers ever! His lectures are explained thoroughly and will re-explain anything until you understand. For me Bio 1 was a little harder than 2 because there's so many different cycles and systems, so you do have to study but there are ample opportunities to ask for help.(you have to attend class to understand though)
He was great! One of the best teachers I have had, and I definitely would want to take more classes with him. He makes it fun to learn and really gets you into learning.
Loved this class... strongly suggest Dr. S as your biology or environmental science professor!!
Dr. Schauer is an excellent teacher, he helped me to enjoy science again! His test are not hard if you study and he goes out of his way to help the students achieve in his class. I made an A in this class and an A in my Biology class with him last semester. If I could I would take more science classes with him, but it's not in my degree plan!
Dr. Schauer is an amazing professor. I absolutely couldn't have completed this course without him. I am and will be grateful for this man and what he taught me. Even though I am going to major in pre-law I learned amazing things about biology that I will never forget. All praise Dr. Schauer.
What a great class. I am a pre-law major but in this bio class I learned plenty of information I hope to never forget. I'm thankful that I had Dr. Schauer and believe I couldn't have completed this class without him
Very good teacher. Test are tough and need to study to pass the test. SI sessions really helped.
Loved the class, learned a lot of interesting things, can't wait to see what part two has in store!
This teacher was amazing! C: He's funny and pretty down to earth. I love how when you would turn in someting on D2L and he'd post a positive responce on what you did. First teacher I've had to actually do that. Made me feel special actually hahaha. But yes This teacher is great. I highly suggest taking his class c:
This class was pretty much the only class I had fun in throughout the whole semester. Prof. Schauer was very enjoyable to talk with, listen to, etc... He was always giving people high fives and liked to drink coffee. He was that guy, the guy you could always depend on. RIP Dr. Schauer CW ;)
Dr. Schauer is a very motivated, inspirational teacher. He encourages everyone to become more involved in LEARNING the subject, not just making better grades. He also passes knowledge on to us with a good amount of humor.
Best teacher I personally have ever taken! Tests are tough yes but his teaching style is awesome, you will learn! And go to the SI sessions, GO TO THEM!! Does extra credit. Always funny, makes class really fun! 2 literature reviews but not hard! You will have to work for your grade. Overall, best class ever, should definitely take him!!!
In order to make a good grade in this class, you will have to dedicate plenty of time to study for the tests. He gives a review, Practice the essay questions.
Thorough and consistent. Loved that gave us what he knew and if we asked him about something he didn't know he was not afraid to tell us that.
Better than any science-related professor I've taken over the past 4 years.
Very helpful professor, takes complex subjects and presents them in understandable manner. Lectures are projected in a clear and insightful way. Gives good feedback and posts grades quickly. Tests can be difficult and papers are required, though with work the class is a manageable A. Definitely one of my most recommended professors! Take genetics!
He was an awesome professor. Gives you numerous chances with extra credit and makes sure everyone understands. SI sessions with this class helps a lot and is a ton of fun to attend.
Excellent professor! Professional, kind, knowledgeable, and excited about the subjects he teaches! Want to really learn something? Then take him. You will need SI for Bio 1, and study group for environmental science and genetics, but you also have access to him to ask questions or voice concerns. Take Dr. Schauer, you will not regret it.
I would highly recommend taking any class with Dr. Schauer. He makes things very easy to understand and makes sure you are set up for success. Tests are based directly on lecture material and he is clear on what the tests will be over. Do your part and study the material and you can be successful in his classes.
This course is designed to help you learn basic biology. Schauer is very professional at what he does and he wants to see his students succeed. The tests are extremely easy because the questions come directly from the material covered in his powerpoint slides. I highly recommend professor Schauer.
Great teaxher, I would totally recommend him. Test are a little tough but studying will get you far. He really cares for every student and you can see that he has a love for teaching.
Schauer is a great professor, if you are up for the challenge this is a great professor to have for bio 2. He is extremely helpful, and give plenty of forewarning as far as assignments go. I was highly satisfied with his teaching methods and his class in general.
I had him for Summer I, I struggled with his exams. However, extra credit, projects and the final got me an A. He gives credit for effort as well as academics too. I changed my schedule for Bio II to fit his schedule. Awesome mentor!
I recommend taking a class with Schauer if you're looking for a knowledgeable professor that can give good lectures and teach well. Professor Schauer not only meets my expectations, but exceeds them. The structure of his class and grading rubric is clear to follow. With some studying, you should be able to achieve an A.
He's great! I took him during the summer this year and he made it so easy for me. I don't about for FallSpring semesters, but when it comes to Summer, get ready to buckle down. You need to work at it, AND DON'T PUT THINGS OFF. But he makes the 4-5 hour class fun with his corny jokes and just his persona. If you're thinking the class, do it!
He's hilarious, actually makes you want to pay attention in class. Great teacher, gives lots of opportunity for extra credit. Mutual respect between students and Dr. Schauer.
Great class. He gives a lot of opportunity for extra credit. If you want an A, you can make an A. Just don't expect to breeze through the course. Worth taking!
Dr. Schauer is a amazing professor I am taking him for Micro this semester and the information is hard but he tries to make it fun, and even though you might not know the information he doesn't make you feel dumb he will tell you that you just need to review and you will get. And if you are looking for biology he is also amazing.
I really enjoyed Dr. Schauer's class! He's hilarious, engaging and really has an interest in you and your work. Highly recommended, lots of life saving extra credit and is easy to relate to. However, you DO have to study plenty, use the resources he gives and pay attention. If you do then there's a high chance you will get an A!
I absolutely despised biology, however, Dr. Shauer made the course enjoyable. He is respected and by far the best professor I have had.
His character is one that makes you want to learn what is being taugh, is very caring and concerned for students and helping them succeed. You won't be surprised in the test. He presents all the information you will need to learn. Is very willing to meet with students and give them feedback on how to improve your grade or studying.
I have taken professor Schauer for three courses, so I can give an accurate review. Professor Schauer is a phenomenal teacher, he explains things in an efficient manner, has clear grading policies, and he truly cares about his students success. His advanced courses are challenging, which requires more studying than usual. If you can, take Schauer.
Awesome I loved this class
Fantastic professor that is always willing to work with you as long as you try. One of the best at the college, hands down.
I love the class he makes the content easy enough to remember and learn , the lecture notes are great too
He is a very laid back teacher. He gives you opportunities at every turn to pass his class, you just have to get up and do it.
He is awesome
Great professor!!
I have taken Dr. Schauer for BIO1306 and BIO1307. He is an amazing professor he explains things clearly and truly cares about his students. He is one of my favorite professors. His lectures are fun and informative he really prepares you for his test. If you pay attention and put in a bit of work you will do well in this class.
He isn't a robot that recites what's on the lecture and moves on. He answers questions and goes in depth in a subject if it's important.
Dr. Schauer is one of the greatest processors I've ever had. He comes to class with a smile and chats and jokes with students before lecture starts. He's responsive to questions and extremely helpful and friendly.
You definitely can't only study the night before the exam, it is a lot of material to know for each test
Dr. Schauer is a good professor he makes Biology interesting or as interesting as it can be. He really cares about his students and is very modivational!
Good teacher
Good helpful teacher
His lectures are simple and funny and mostly everything he goes over will in some way be on the test. He gives plenty of advice and help on the reviews. There are no surprises on the test as long as you pay attention. He wants to help you succeed not fail. You must be willing to do the work and put forth the effort to pass (just like any class)
Really enjoy this class, biology isn't my strong point but he makes the class lectures funny so I learn easier.
The reviews are kind of hard. & so are the tests. But He's very enthusiastic about teaching & science so it's easier to learn the subject matter.
NO no no no! Talks to students like babies and test them like grad students. HARD HARD HARD HARD TESTS!!!!! Bright side: lots of extra credit
He is a great, laid back professor. What ever effort you put into this class will definitely reflect on your grade/exams. Give's lot's of credit so take advantage of that. Review is kind of deceiving, makes you think that's what he's going to ask, and it doesn't. Exam has only a few multiple choice, mostly short answer questions.
I loved Dr. Schauer's lectures. His test questions come straight from the notes. Just make sure you study them very well! He offers TONS of extra credit. I highly recommend taking him for BIO.
Great teacher and really actually kind of funny. He lecture in a way that you can really understand the material but his tests are by the book so you need to really understand the material. Gives loads of extra credit! Pretty funny, has unnatural obsession with hashtags. I would definitely recommend him and would take him again.
An awesome teacher that gives very little homework, lectures are fairly easy to follow along. The hard part are the tests.
He's a great guy and a wonderful professor, I wish there were more like him at the university level. Write down all you know on his exams, he gives out lots of partial/extra credit!
He is a kind man with careness for all of his students.
Dr. Schauer is an awesome professor. His lectures are put into perfect perspective for us students to understand. Very easy to reach him outside of class if you have questions or need to contact him. Studying outside of class and reading the chapters are a must. Would definitely recommend him. He is a super nice, down to earth guy!
Dr Schauer is incredible professor! He takes interest in your own success in class and out. He not only gives you every opportunity to complete extra credit, he explains the material very well. He makes it interesting and funny! I had him for both Bio 1 & 2 and I couldn't thank him enough for all he does!
Great professor, he gives a lot of feedback. You know exactly what is expected of you and the course is very interesting. I learned a lot, did my work, studied for the courses and did well overall. Definitely recommend.
DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! I didn't do to hot on any of the tests but passed with an A! Go to SI!
Dr. Schauer gives tons of extra credit opportunities and covers everything you need to know in the lecture. Be sure to attend required and if possible extra SI sessions. And finally, if you don't understand be sure to ask questions he is willing to help students. He cares about student success.
The best professor I've had!!
This is one of the harder classes I have taken. He is a great teacher but you must do your reading and studying and all SI group meetings. This is probably the most earned A I have ever received because his tests were very hard but it was well worth the effort. Schauer is a great guy! I recommend taking him for BIO and ENVIR SCIENCE (BIO1301-1302)
Dr. Schauer is an awesome professor! His style of teaching encourages teamwork among the students through group discussions concerning the lectures, as well as, homework assignments.
I loved Dr. Schauer!! I was nervous about taking biology since it had been so long since I had a biology class. He makes it fun to learn and keeps you entertained throughout lectures. I would definitely recommend him for any class he teaches! He gives lots of extra credit. If you study and go to SI you will do great!!
You rock
If you go to his class, go to SI, and study, you will make an A in this class. He is an amazing professor. Probably the best I've ever had. You would be crazy not to take him.
Freaking awesome
Dr. S was fantastic. He really is a great teacher and gave great feedback. I would take his classes again.
He reprimanded me for being an introvert, which was discouraging. He should know more than anybody that we all are different (genetics). I don't go to school to talk. I go in hopes of one day having a career and making a living. Crazy, I know. You do not need the book. Save your money. His tests are hard, you really have to study.
Absolutely top notch professor. Not even done with it but I'm confident to say he may be the best professor I will have at any college. Does an amazing job at sucking you in every lecture, and I have never thought I would have learned so much so quick. He is a caring, kind, funny, and understanding professor and I highly recommend taking him.
Good pace, easy to comprehend, quirky.
Definitely worth taking his class over some of the other professors
Best science professor I've had at brazosport
Absolutely one of my favorite classes, and this is coming from someone who really dislikes science. He makes it easy to learn, gives SO much extra credit, and really tries to make class fun. He is always within reach by irl visit, email, or sms on remind. Easily one of my favorite professors I have ever had.
I have really enjoyed the class. Dr. S makes it easy to understand the material in lecture and lightens the mood with his sense of humor. I like how missing a class doesn't kill you but if you make them all it's better. I would definitely take this professor for another class.
Dr. Schauer is a wonderful professor. He does his lectures by PowerPoint and explains ideas carefully so everyone in the class can understand. He doesn't put you down if you ask questions, plus if you're confused and don't understand he tries to work with you so you can get it. His exams are a little hard, but he offers a lot of extra credit too.
Dr. Schauer is one of the best professors I've had. You have to study hard for his tests but he gives a ton of extra credit and a good idea of what to expect for his exams. He explains concepts in a clear and humorous way. If you're looking for a good bio professor take Schauer!
He's so sweet and really cares about his students. As long as you study you'll make an A in his class. He's pretty goofy and funny and makes learning fun. I would definitely take him again if I needed another science class.
Loved the Class, he is very clever and funny, yet well versed in his subject and very respectable. One of the nicest professors I've had and I have 38 hours.
Awesome teacher, I had him for biology too and he's amazing. His grading is clear and he makes it easy for you to understand. His tests are straight from the slides and he's has projects that are the same weight as a test to help you out. Hilarious, fun and an easy A if you pay attention.
Dr. Schauer is a great professor. He really cares about students success. He works hard to make sure every one has a chance at a good grade. He loves giving extra credit, take advantage of it. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take Biology I or II at Brazosport College.
Doctor Schauer really cares about his students. He's super nice and welcoming, even taking the time to learn our names. His tests are pretty difficult, but if you go to SI and study you'll be good. Lots of extra credit. As long as you do the work you'll be good and he's SUCH a nice guy!!
Amazing lectures that are full of ways to help you remember the criteria. Also very leinant with grading and helps you out as much as possible.
Literally so cool. Tons of extra credit. Funny hash tags.
If you don't attend class and listen to lecture you will fail! The class is not too difficult but you have to study and listen. SI sessions are required and also EXTREMELY HELPFUL. Complete and study the review given by both schauer and SI. One last thing. Print out all of the PowerPoint slides on day one! Two slides per page is best for notes!
best professor I've ever had
Dr. Schauer is a very good professor who will help you in any way that will help you be successful. He may make you work for the grade, but he will give you all the tools and knowledge to be successful. I had a great Summer 1 semester with him. Would definitely take again.
Dr. Schauer is an amazing professor!! Class is fun and he helps you and gives you alot of extra credit options..
He is such a great proffesor! He cares so much about his students and their education, and you can tell by his attitude in class. You don't really NEED the book but it's a good reference . He gives lots of extra credit opportunities and his lectures are very important to your tests. PAY ATTENTION!!!
Fantastic guy. Gives doughnuts at end. Very helpful. Used comic sans. 10/10
Awesome professor
He made me eat more fruit 8/8
You have 4 tests and then the final! The 4 tests consist of MC, true/false, short answer, and an essay. Don't freak! It's really easy! Just as long as you study you will do fine! The essay at the end of each test you will know ahead of time cause he tells you them! The final is all MC from the 4 tests! He gives tons of extra credit!
Dr. Schauer is a great professor! I took him for Biol 1306 during the 1st session of the summer and the class was phenomenal. He is very clear in his lectures and he makes sure that he teaches every subject that will be on his tests. If you show up to class and go over his PowerPoint slides and take advantage of the extra credit you will get an A!
I took Bio 1 during summer session 1 with Dr. Shauer. He is an amazing teacher, who always finds a humorous way of bring the lectures to life. I would most definitely recommend taking him, it is such a joy going to class. He makes the information easy to learn and as long as you attend class and SI sessions you are promised a positive outcome!
Dr. Schauer is the bomb. He makes the classroom/material not feel so monotonous; taking huge concepts and making them relate-able. I am only doing the BIO2 summer with him, but have taken a lab, and loved it too. You can tell he truly wants everyone to do well, and most importantly, learn. If you do not do well, that is on you, he gives help. -MegB
Great professor, would definitely take for all your sciences!! Go Dr. S!! -MegB
Best class I've taken in any category, on any level, ever. He makes the content clear, accessible, and very humorous - while showing its relevance in the real world. There is never any confusion about expectations. He is very well organized, fair, and his enthusiasm for the content is infectious.
A fantastic instructor with a real passion for teaching! His lectures are clear and concise. All of the course material can be found in his powerpoints, and he offers plenty of bonus opportunities. The SI sessions are helpful, and as long as you spend time reviewing, you should do well on his tests. Dr. Schauer is one of the best professors at BC.
Hes funny and really nice. He has all of the needed materials up in a timely manner or will bring you a copy if he posts it late. He only reads off the slideshows.
Tests are very detailed. Too much knowledge needed to be comprehended and memorized for one test.
Very nice and informative.
He is really funny and easy going, but his tests are not like that, you have to really work hard to make an a in his class.
Great teacher with awesome attitude. Print out power point slides and use to study. As long as you show up, read your notes, an start ready youll
Most of his lecture was 4+ years old with few updated slides. It wasnt the easiest class to keep up with as far as information in lecture compared to exams. THIS CLASS IS ABOUT HUMAN INDUCED CLIMATE CHANGE. If you cant put your political feelings aside, which I had to do, you wont pass. Very interesting class overall though.
Great with interacting with labs, also helps if you have a question or need to get a hold of him outside of class, he likes to give EC, is extremely excited about students interacting, make sure you do your Pre-Labs and the Expand your mind questions.
The best professor ever!! May of helped too that he was hot ��
If you are planning on going into the medical field taking Schauer for GenBio is a solid YES. I retained so much information that helped me trendously in A&P 1. His lecture are important for understanding the information. You HAVE TO STUDY. He expects you to know anything that is reviewed in lecture.. Tests are MC, short answer, & essays. Best Prof
Really passionate and excited to teach and he makes the lecture interesting and fun.
Have printed notes youll need them.
Fantastic for Science majors. Plenty of opportunities to receive excellent grades. Heavy on memorization and effort. The best professor i have had.
Dr. Schauer is an amazing professor. He truly cares about his students and will help anyway he can for you to do your absolute best in his class. He gives a ton of extra credit. The best thing about his class is he makes the material interesting and relevant resulting in the information easy to learn.
He gives a lot of extra credit, makes lecture interesting. He's a laid back teacher.
I really enjoyed his lectures. Very easy to follow along and understand. The only struggle you will have in his class is not trying.
Dr. Schauer is an excellent professor. While the tests are difficult, the lectures are complete and full of information and give you all the information needed. It is up to you to prepare yourself for the tests by completing test reviews and reviewing material outside of class. Extra credit opportunities are given often.
Dr S. has made learning about Genetics fun. I am so glad I was able to have him as a professor. He makes learning the material easier, he always gives feedback and words of inspiration on tests. If you study, an A is definitely possible. Easy to reach by email, and in his office. Would definitely take again, if I had the chance.
You will LEARN the material. He makes some difficult topics more accessible and truly betters your understanding of them. Tests aren't only multiple-choice and require some thought, rather than than strictly memorization. His lectures are fun and cover what you'll need to know for the tests.
This is an awesome class to take. Do the reviews he gives online, and be ready to write on the test. PRINT UP THE SLIDES AND BRING THEM TO CLASS.
Class was challenging in a good way but so worth it. His lectures with power point are very detailed and he explains everything in a way for us to understand the subject. I would definitely take another course with him because he truly cares about our education and wants the best for all his students.
Dr. S is a really amazing and fun professor in his BIOL and ENVR science classes. His lectures are fun and understandable. You can access all the material online and hes able to meet with you outside of class. Although his test are tough theyre all over his material taught in class. Only way you cant pass is if you dont try. EXTRA OPPORTUNITIES
I highly recommend taking Dr. Schauer for any class that he offers. He has so many extra credit opportunities and is an awesome teacher overall!
He is very passionate about teaching, he makes it interesting and easy to understand. He is also my favorite professor so far, but you need to study!
Really enjoy coming to class. makes the lectures easy to understand. Really enjoy is although you do have to take the time outside of class to study in order to pass.
His exams are nothing like his lectures. This is his first time teaching the class. He offers plenty of extra credit, but he don't know some of the answers to his own questions. He is a nice guy but he picks favorites. I would not take him again for AP.
Dr. Schauer is the best professor I have ever had! His lectures are interesting, engaging and very helpful! He does his best to insure student success and gives credit as much as he can. He is very willing to work with the student and to insure they are truly understanding the material. He loves what he does and that really shows!
If you put in the work, you will excel. In this class, prior reading of chapters will benefit your comprehension and retention. He expects you to show up to class ready to learn and not be stuck to your phone. He provides extra credit opportunities and excellent feedback. He grades fair and his jokes arent bad either. Hahaha!
Dr. Schauer is one of the best professor's on the Brazosport College campus. He cares about his students and as long as you do your work, then there should be no reason why you would fail his class. His class is easy and he provides extra credit opportunities!
Too much extra material to memorize.
Dr. Schauer was a great teacher, I only wish I had had better motivation during the semester that I just finished with him because I probably would have passed with flying colors. If you put in the time and work, and especially take up on all of the extra credit opportunities, youll do well in his classes.
He will make lots of jokes during lecturing, and explains the materials in a very memorable way.
Dr. Schauer has been one of my best professors at Brazosport College. He makes the material in class interesting and fun to learn. He is very intelligent and approachable. He helps with any questions you have. I also loved that he gives feedback on his assignments. Wish I could have had more professors like him!
He is an easy going and funny guy but his exams/quizzes are the most difficult thing. You need to read the book OYO because most of his material on exams are based off what you read on your own time (he does not go over it in class.) He does offer a lot of extra credit, which is great!
Dr. Schauer is friendly and funny, but he does mean business when it comes to exams and assignments. He gives TONS of extra credit, so do take advantage of that. Dont mistake his kindness for weakness. He expects you to study and put fourth the effort. Pay attention during lectures and avoid being on your phone. Above all, DO THE WORK!
Quality articulation of material; open to further questioning of subject matter.
Dr. Schauer is an amazing professor. His lectures are in depth & engaging, & he encourages questions. He wants all of his students to do well; he gives extra credit, & he even organized an event with the Writing Center for his classes to get help on his papers. However, there is a lot of content he covers. If you study diligently, you'll do good :)
Dr. Schauer is a good professor , he is funny and helps you understand the concept. He gives you very good examples on what you are learning. He also makes lectures easier to understand!
Dr. Schauer is an amazing professor, take every class he offers lol. He makes the material very understandable and is always available if you want to ask questions. Highly recommend studying for exams in advance and going to SI sessions. He gives a lot of extra credit and overall a great teacher and I enjoyed his course!!
Makes the material interesting to learn and class exciting. Test reviews are clear and lots of opportunity for extra credit. Little to no homework. Very caring about his students and easily accessible via email or office hours. I actually retained the information I learned in this class.
He's very excited about Science and makes you excited too. For essays, he provides you with many different topics to choose from, and you can pick what interests you. Needless to say, after his class, I subscribed to the magazine he made available to us, Scientific American. Science is no longer a foe, but a favorite.
Dr. Schauer is a amazing professor, and really cares about your success. He makes the lectures interesting and really wants you to learn the material. He offers extra credit so take adavantage of it. I would definitely be taking more classes with him.
Great professor. Gives extra credit. Hardest exams ever!
Explains his lectures very well, asks for feedback and genuinely cares about your education.
Very Sweet man. Teaches well and gives you an outline of exactly what the test will question you on. The questions are all based on his power points which he covers in class. LOTS of opportunities for extra credit.
He always tries to be fun and outgoing. I just wish we used the textbook more.
I'm taking his class (again), and I couldn't be more satisfied with the course. He's energetic and passionate about biology, and always encourages questions. There is quite a bit to cover, but as long as you study, you'll be okay! (But seriously... STUDY!)
This guy would fit under the category of having the talent to teach, if teaching was a talent. His lectures are well done and informative so you have to study the material but taking good notes will help you pass this class/get a high A. Put forth the effort and go to SI sessions they will help your grade. Dont Procrastinate! Highly Recommended!
He was amazing! By far my favorite teacher at this college. He definitely made class and lectures easy to understand and would also throw in a couple of jokes to lighten the mood. He will always remember all, if not most, of his students! He always comes to the college with a smile and made me enjoy walking on campus.
He likes to have group discussions, he is good at answering any questions or concerns you may have, and he has a good attitude.
1st day of class i was terrified looking at everything i had to do in this class. Dr Schauer is AMAZING! He is funny & passionate. Pay attention, do the work, and study; it will pay off. His test are pretty difficult, but he provides plenty of extra credit! It's college people you have to work a little. Love Dr S. will be taking him for BIO 2.
Dr. Schauer was a great professor and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a biology course! There are so many opportunities for extra credit and that will really help your grade in the long run. He gives good study guides for test and if you look over the materials he covered you will be fine for the test.
Dr. Schauer is the best professor BC has to offer. He truly cares about you and wants you to do well. The class will be hard though, but not impossible. You just have to study and not just the night before. Also he requires you go to 10 study sessions as part of your grade just hope you get a good SI leader.
Great professor. Teaches well, cares about students, gives extra credit, is willing to compromise if needed, lectures are well planned and thought out, also very funny. 10/10 would recommend.
One of the best teachers that I have had. You definitely have to work in this class and cant just slide by doing the bare minimum. There are lots of opportunities for extra credit which really help! Go to SI! It really helps!
Amazing professor!!!
Great teacher, very funny and clear in lecture great opportunities for extra credit
GREAT PROFESSOR!!!
Dr. Schauer is hands down the best prof ive ever had! He is very involved & makes lecture interesting/ fun! He is never monotone as he likes to use a variety of voices when speaking. Get used to dad jokes because they are never ending in his class. Lots of extra credit!
Dr. Schauer made me want to major in biology.
Dr. Schauer is passionate about science and it comes across in his teaching. Awesome guy, very reasonable about grades and tests.
Dr. Schauer is hands down one of the best professors here! He's passionate about what he teaches and really likes to make lectures fun and engaging.
Dr Schauer is one of the best professors I've come across. His lectures are made to appeal to the students and provide a clear understanding of the topics. You can tell he really enjoys being a professor and loves to help any time you need it. Don't miss out on this opportunity for a fun class and amazing professor. Appreciate the dad jokes
He is very understanding and will make any effort to accommodate and make sure to answer any questions!
I took Dr. Schauer again for A&P 2 and it was the best decision! Due to COVID-19, everything got moved to online over Spring break. We took Exams 3-5 and the Final. I really enjoyed taking his class in person and online for the remainder of the semester. GO TO S.I AND GET YOUR E.C POINTS!! These points will save your life and A WHOLE LETTER GRADE.
- best online professor i've ever had - amazing online format, well organized and is easily reachable. - lectures are long, but enjoyable - he's really passionate about his class and biology, you can hear it when he teaches - LOADS of extra credit. LOADS! & they're not too hard either. . - his class was a relief amidst COVID. - USE HIS REVIEWS!!
Great professor! He is funny!
A bit of a nerd, brings a lot of energy to lectures. It has been a little harder, but about what I expected as Ive been out of school for several years. Ive quite enjoyed most of the content though, and would absolutely take him again.
Great professor! He is funny too!
Lectures are long, funny, and prerecorded. He's super easy to reach, work with, request extensions from, etc. This class is so specific and detailed about biology that it can be overwhelming, just watch the lectures and attend SI sessions and you should pass. Quizzes are open book/notes, but tests require lockdown browser w/ webcam. Free textbook!
I've taken many classes with this professor and he is one of my favorites.
Dr. Schauer is a very good teacher who makes his lectures clear and easy to follow. Him being a geneticist also made him even better at explaining the aspects of this large and complex field
This was my first class with Dr. Shauer and hopefully not my last! Really enjoyed his engagement and style of teaching.
Dr. Schauer was a great professor. He was very nice and got back to emails quickly. He had great lectures that were very informative. He gave great feedback on the rough drafts of our paper. He also provides plenty of extra credit opportunities.
Dr. Schauer was very helpful, gave out good reviews of each assignment. The Labs were fun and very interesting. I have leaned more than I ever thought that I would. I am very glad that I took this course. Yes I would take another one of his classes.
Dr. S is an amazingly gifted instructor. His PPT lectures were informative and very interesting. He made this study on Environmental Science a class that I actually looked forward to. It was a lot of information for me to absorb, but he is more than fair in offering extra credit projects to offset any problem grades that could be encountered.
Dr. Schauer is the best! I learned so much about environmental science from his class and lab. He gives great feedback and lots of extra credit opportunities. I wish I could take him for more classes, but I am done with science for now.
Professor Schauer is the professor you want if you are looking for feedback, more opportunities to improve your grade, and easy to work with as long as you are able to learn and put in the effort. If you are looking to gain credit in Biology courses, be on the lookout for Professor Schauer!
Amazing professor. Exam study guides thoroughly prepare for exams. Tons of extra credit opportunities.
Dr. Schauer is very clear on what you need to focus on in his lectures in order to make a good grade. Everything you ever need in his Powerpoint lectures will in some way grab your attention. His lectures are funny and normally relatable, which makes the course that much easier to learn.
Professor Schauer's has his students participate in small experiments that correlate with the material that he would be teaching. He encourages his students to socialize outside and within the class to strengthen the chances of retaining the information. He also gives tips for studying on D2L to help improve students ability to grasp the material.
One of the greatest professor out there for Biology, he was always available and easy going. I took him online for the first part, and now I am taking him in person for the second part. Even though I got a B, I felt it was well deserved but he is a very good teacher who gives lot of EC if you do it. Be prepared to study and work hard!
The best professor I have gad at BC. He is aware of the challenges behind being a student regardless of degree path or how far along you are in higher education. He is able to sympathize with students very well and always has high energy for lectures. He adds jokes in along the way that can't help but make you smile. He makes bio an easier subject.
Dr. Schauer was an amazing professor to have. His lectures are not mandatory but it is best to go to them in order to learn what is needed for the exams. His PowerPoints have color and bolded words which are great for visual learners. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
He's very helpful and understanding of your situation as long as you make it known to him. Hopefully, I get some of his future classes!
Dr. Schauer is one of the best, if not THE best, instructor you'll come in contact with. His class is easy. There is also opportunity for extra credit. Would definitely recommend!
The lectures are used for each of the quizzes assigned, and the study guides provided on exams are extremely helpful. Don't expect many out-of-the-blue questions on exams or quizzes because they're all well outlined in the notes (AKA, don't just gloss over things you think aren't important because I guarantee they are LOL).
Dr. Schauer is by far one of the best teacher's I've had at BC. He is funny, engaging, encouraging, understanding, and supportive. You won't get past his lecture without a laugh or two. He also give lots of extra credit opportunities (do them!), is very clear with instructions, and goes right off the syllabus. Thanks for being an amazing teacher.
Schauer is a great professor. He really cares about & understands biology. He gives you all the necessary material for the exams and quizzes, emphasizes what is very important & what you absolutely need to know. quizzes are easy. study a lil for tests & youll be ok. ton of EC. However, he's kinda childish. He sorta acts like a high school teacher.
I would take him for every classes if I could. He is an amazing professor by far. He is really caring for his students.
This professor is really passionate in what he teaches and you can tell through his lectures and I really enjoy it, because it makes the lectures fun.
The online course was very lecture-heavy, but you can tell Dr. Schauer is passionate about the subject and keeps his tone light-hearted and fun. He is also extremely understanding and supportive of any questions. Overall, Dr. Schauer knows what he is doing and would be a great pick for bio.
As someone who will be going on to major in science, I can not recommend Professor Schauer enough. He is just an awesome professor to have, he is patient with his students and understands that A&P is a very dense topic to learn. He has no issues in taking more time to explain a concept that might have been complicated. Take him for ALL sciences.
You will learn and have fun with room for studying and everything in between. 10/10 proff. (he likes dad jokes)
Would Recommend
Dr. Schauer has been one of my absolute favorite professors. He actually reads the work turned in and gives great feedback on what you did well and if anything should be improved for next time. He is funny and understanding and always responds in a timely manner.
Professor Schauer is good at showing the material needed and helping students who need it. :)
As long as you stay up to date on content and study the lecture videos you will do great in this class.
Showing up to lectures is important. He posts all of the presentations for the lectures but he gives more details and explanations for everything in class. He is very interactive and wants students to talk and learn with each other. He brings a good energy to class every morning . He also provides really good feedback on exams and assignments.
Would take again! He is very funny and makes lectures enjoyable and easy to understand. Just make sure you study because the exams are content heavy and diagram based.
He was one of the best professors I've had so far. He made the PowerPoints clear and studying for exams very easy. There wasn't any material on the exams and quizzes that wasn't in the PowerPoints. As long as you pay attention and take notes during lectures you should do great.
I really enjoyed taking bio 1307 with Dr. Schauer! I definitely feel like I learned a lot, and he made it enjoyable! There was some class discussion and reading aloud, and sometimes he would repeat back information to make sure we understood, which I appreciated! I would definitely recommend taking his class if you can!
Professor Schauer makes lectures engaging and easy to understand. The exams are content-heavy, but studying the provided PowerPoints and using unstuckstudy AI for prep can really help. Definitely a class worth taking.
Very good teacher I just wasn't very on top of myself I didn't read the syllabus thoroughly. When you have a late assignment it's only 10 points off each day for 5 days. Very straightforward easy class just don't procrastinate. Take responsibility.
Overall, great class and really fun. You will have to go on campus, or if you're taking it out of state or something, he has options. Most of it will be online, but you will go out of your house at least three times. I recommend taking the class with a buddy so it's more fun. But overall, great class. Would take again.
Dr. Schauer was an amazing professor, I took environmental science lab 1 from him. he had very interesting assignments. all the documentaries were interesting and made homework fun. I loved this class.
I took this class during a very difficult time in my life and Dr. Schauer was very accommodating when I let him know what was going on. He is a tough grader on written assignments (looks very particularly at grammar), but he cares about what is going on in your life and wants you to succeed.
Professor Schauer is an amazing professor, I have taken both of his ENVR courses (1301 and 1302) and he is very consistent. He is fair, professional, and the grade you receive is truly from the work you put in. His course work is easy to follow, he does not add extra things that aren't in the videos he provides.
He gives absolutely amazing feedback. Every discussion, quiz, etc. He clearly outlines what needs to be done, and even when to do it. Overall, a great professor and I recommend people to take him in any class!
Dr. Schauer truly wants his students to succeed. He offers clear guidance, helpful feedback, and strong support that make it easier to excel in his class.
He is a very good professor with kind and honest feedback!!
Amazing professor, very detailed study guides for exams that are exactly like the exams! Gives amazing feedback and is very supportive to students. Good amount of work that needs to get done in this class, however all connected, informative and related to current world. I would easy take this professor again.
This was a short class and the final exam was open book which saved me a lot of time and stress! Definitely recommend!
Good at returning emails, explaining material, uses power points, good syllabus, encouraging feedback on assignments, explains ways for improvement, detailed instructions, provides extra credit opportunities, and reminders on due dates. I would definitely recommend.
