He is a very good professor, knows his stuff well and his tests are not too difficult if you study hard enough. Book was not really needed. Very important, attend the class if anything for the random fun attendance quizes which WILL help your grade out in the end.

Very interesting and hard at the same time. I would only take the course if you have an extreme passion for fornsics and bones, the tests are rather tough, a lot to memorize, all the bones and how the bones were injured and what was cause of death and how long ago are important. I've taken him before for 2511, but 4521 was way harder, good luck!

Dr. Schultz is amazing! He is humorous and very intelligent. Keeps his classes interesting, but also realistic and full of facts you really need to know. He doesn't waste your time.

I've taken three classes with Dr. Schultz and found them interesting and informative. If your field is forensics, he will provide a solid foundation.

The key to getting a good grade in this class is to show up to every lecture (and I mean every single one), and to take really good notes; he will ask you about anything and everything. Majority of your grade comes from exams but there are some 'fluff' assignments to help your grade. He is very accessible/helpful if you ever have any questions.
