I had Larry for Calc I and basically am grateful for it. Without the firm understanding of the basics of Calculus, I would have been lost as many other students from other classes were. He's a great teacher. He's strict, but gets the job done and is more than helpful at explaining the topics. Thanks Larry! I definitely recommend Larry for Calc if you can get him. Most of his classes fill up first!

He is one of the better math teachers at UWM. For one he is american...kinda rare around here. He will also explain topics again if you do not get them the first time over. Takes time to go over homework, and really gives you a good idea for what is going to be on the tests/quizes to help you study.

let me make things clear about him... If in business school at masters level you want to learn high school maths, this guys is for you. If you know even a little bit maths you will sleep in this class. He has made the course so easy that you think you are understanding everything but in reality you learn even less than a 200 level class.

Kept what could be a difficult and boring class interesting and didn't try to trick anyone on the exams. He is very supportive and always willing to review things over and over until everyone is clear. This isn't an easy "A", but if you put the time into the class, you'll get an A. My favorite MBA class so far! I wish he still taught stats!

I took Schultz for math 106, the easiest math class I've ever taken. He goes on tangents a lot but sometime is funny and weird. He DID take attendance but didn't check homework for this course, but he does for others. There was a weekly test (could use textbook) and exams (could use textbook and notes) Don't sit in the front row; he spits.
