Took this class on livecapture and she made it pretty easy. I liked her teaching style but she could be more organized when it comes to writing the information. It is taught with powerpoint. The best way to do well in this class is to do homework (what a surprise!!!)
The professor made the class very easy, I personally do not like to do homework but by attending the SI classes and going to class, I got an easy A. She is very clear and her test are just like her homework. So if you do the homework u don't even need to attend the SI classes. She also gives extra credit which helps a lot. Take her!!!
She is by far the rudest most unhelpful professor I have ever come across. If there is any way you can take another professor for QMB please fo yourself the favor. The class is difficult as is, a professor who is not willing to help her students nor cares about her students is less than helpful to say the least. Absolutely no communication skills!!
I took this class online. The powerpoints are helpful, but no lectures are provided. I constantly got emails inviting me to attend tutoring groups that you had to pay for, and videos they were selling. Does she get a kickback? I already paid a premium to take the class online and the videos should have been included.
Smart lady, really knows her stuff. She can explain things well but you have to go to class to pass. There is a lot to know to pass but once you get the hang of it you can pass. She does give extra credit quizzes :) especially if it is online version.
(ONLINE CLASS)GOOD THING IS U CAN WATCH THE CLASS OVER N OVER,WHICH MIGHT BE NEEDED BC SHE GOES FAST.OFFERS XTRA CREDIT QUIZES THAT HELP U ON THE EXAMS, TRY 2 UNDERSTAND ALL CHAPTERS SHE COVERS(QUIZES CONTAIN Q'S FROM THE BEGGING CHAPTERS). I NEVER READ THE BOOK(USELESS), ONLY TO DO COUPLE HW EXERCISES(OPTIONAL)ALL U NEED IS THE PW SLIDES SHE USES
Took the video lecture class, ALL CLASSES should be like this. You can review every lecture as many times as you need. Prof made the subject easier than I ever thought possible. SHE WANTS YOU TO GET AN A. DO the all the work she says and you will get the A, do not try to skate by. This subject does not allow for it.
Take this class via Lecture Capture~ you will actually LEARN the material! Dr. S is an EXCELLENT teacher; she is FAST so sitting in class is NOT enough. Watch it, rewind, review! Dr. S gives you EVERY opportunity to do well, do what she says and you don't have to be afraid of QMB!
She changes the way exams will be taken mid semester, including no backtracking so that you cant go back and check your work and rediculous time constraints. Ended up taking a B+ in this class due to not having enough time to finish the final. Experimenting with online exams mid-semester is not an effective or fair way to conduct class. Thumbs down
she makes the class interesting. she can give examples and she is very funny. she makes the class easier and is fair on test. she also gives quizzes which is extra credit to go towards your exams. remember to do homework it will help make this course be alot easier.
Took this class lecture capture in 6 weeks. Prof. Schindlbeck knows her stuff and is amazing at explaining it. Watch, rewatch and rewind her lectures. This class is all about the effort that you put in, it's about practice. She provides you plenty of opportunities (like extra credit quizzes) to do well. Do her problem sets for each chapter!
Dr. Schindlbeck knows her stuff and is amazing at explaining it. Watch her high definition recorded lectures. This class is all about the effort that you put in, it's about practice. She provides plenty of extra credit opportunities and materials on Blackboard to do well. Problem sets for each chapter make a difference.
I took the 6 week LCVS course this past summer with Professor Schindlbeck and I really enjoyed it. The material was fairly easy and she did a fantastic job of explaining everything and was extremely helpful. I'd definitely take another class with her.
Dr Schindlbeck knows her stuff and teaches it very well However if u plan on passing this class the 1st time around u must put in the wrk Watch rewatch & watch the videos again She gives extra credit quizes and lots of HW assignments which helps alot, but again u must do the wrk. Not an easy A class but its doable. Dont take if u have alot going on
I took the 6 week LCVS course with Prof. Schindlbeck and I absolutely loved it. She's very clear and does an amazing job explaining the material. She is also very accommodating to any questions you may have. Math has always been my strong point and I found this class to be extremely easy. Watch and rewatch the videos, and practice the problems.
she is a very good teacher. Do not let her terrorize you that this is a very hard class. Practice all the exercises and you will do okay. I did buy an extra program to help me, and it was awesome.
she goes over the problems over and over..if your good in math you can ace this class with your eyes closed. i took math classes in high school harder than this
There were only generic notes posted online. If I hadn't done the SI Tutoring, I probably would have failed the class. The exams and quizes are not worded the same way as the notes or so it makes the class that much harder. I am normally really good at math. I am sure it was hard bc it was online with no lecture from the teacher.
GREAT She's really nice, very helpful. She knows her stuff. I took this class online. SI Tutoring helped me a lot. Book is barely useful. Slides and exercises are really useful, but you must practice ALL exercises. I found this class easy but I practiced a lot. It's a cumulative class so study from the beginning. She explains all materials clearly.
Best QMB teacher at FAU. Online class gives you advantage to use all your notes, PP, and excel.Don't buy the book!! Watch the lectures and go to SI. She explains things in depth and very systematically. Shes makes the subject very interesting. Besides, if you are bored you can always fast forward. HW not mandatory. Up to 8 extra points per test.
For a difficult class, she made it seem easy. A little quirky, but explained things in a way students can understand. I learned so much in this class that I'll use later in life. Took this class Lecture Capture, which was great bc you can pause to take notes, rewind if you don't get it, and re-watch before exams. Highly recommend
Horrible!!!! Stay away from her. She rambled on and on about her life. Waste of money
I took this class online after not passing it in the previous semester. My other professor (whose name I shall not mention) was terrible. Although since it was my second time taking that class I might of had an edge. Great online notes, very helpful
She is AMAZING!!! I loved her class and I would definitely suggest you take anything she teaches. She gives lots of extra credit so there's no way you could do bad in this class, and as long as you pay attention/watch the lectures the material is pretty easy to understand.
She is amazing!!!I took her online/video lecture class, and I truly wish all professors were somewhat like her. She encourages you to think, and she doesn't teach just by the power point slides.It was good to take her online because I could stop the lectures to take notes, and rewind when I didn't understand something. She was great!!Take her!!
Honestly this professor is who I point at when people ask how I thought QMB was a joke. She makes the class as easy as possible, I got an A on everything and didn't end up needing the EC. Only complaint is the tests are only 20 questions. Get one wrong and you already have a 95. Get 4 wrong and you have an 80. Just learn the material, it's easy.
She may knows her stuffs but most of the time she is too.... fast, especially when she goes over some new concept, it makes very difficult to keep track on.
take her for QMB.. she offers so much extra credit and she makes this class easy as long as you watch the lectures. the tests can be tricky, just read the questions carefully. 20 questions multiple choice.. easy A
If you want to get an A in QMB, this is the professor to take it with. Gives lots of XC quizzes and HW is not required. Just take detailed notes on each problem and you will be fine. If you use Excel for everything, the class is even easier! 20 questions per exam (40 on the final) and you have 90 mins to do each exam. Good luck!
She is an amazing professor!! teaches very well and explains everything. 3 test 20 questions first 2 test have 2 extra credit quiz last test has 1 quiz 1st 2 give you up to 8 extra pts on that test and last gives you up to 6 pts final exam is on a sunday night and is 40 questions
Great Professor gives extra credit Lectures on awesome Shes one of the best professors Take her you do not need the book
Confusing professor, talks fast, go off subject a lot. Hard EXAMS.. try to look the other way if you see her. She brings her Level to students!!! Very Difficult and she talks about students behind their backs. Someone told me that she was going to ask us a lot of questions when presenting Which was not fair LOL
I took her lecture-capture course and I am not going to lie, this was my 2nd attempt! Her class is hard but its not the professor its the course! QMB is awful. It just is! You need to study and watch the lectures or go to class, its simple! You will not pass unless you study. She explains the material well, its just all around a tough course!
She is super confusing. I took her lecture capture course and she went through the examples really fast. She tends to go off topic alot. If you can take with another professor. DO IT!
This lady just goes way too fast it is hilarious. Not much care as far as for people who do not understand math very quickly in the class especially after seeing the class averages half way through. I've had to get help from tutors online and spend hours just trying to re-teach myself this stuff. This class shouldn't be this hard or confusing.
She is awesome!! I am still in the course but have done pretty well On the first test. She explains the material very well. She is hilarious and I love her personality. She goes above and beyond to provide extra learning opportunities and truly does care about her students success! Highly recommend her!!
If you have the chance to take her for QMB, do it! She was clear, concise, and maximized every bit of class time. Also, she was funny and nice. The way she lectured translated perfectly to the format of the test, pretty sure I'll get an A. I attended review sessions with students of other prof's and they seemed so lost. Would def take her again.
Took this class online and it was set up very easy to understand. 3 tests and 1 final - no homework. There are also quizzes available for extra credit.
Professor Schindlbeck is a very knowledgeable professor. However, her lectures tend to be very fast paced. Which makes it hard to understand, but you can ask her to slow down. Which she will slow down if you ask her to. Do her problem of the week and practice packets you will do great in the class. Don't even need the book just print out her PPts.
DR Schindlbeck is amazing, the best instructor for QMB, you would be foolish not to take her. She is very detailed in her lectures and makes a hard class seem easy. She explains each topic excellently and makes it easy for you to grasp the concepts, very helpful with questions that you bring to her that you might not be grasping.
She makes everything seem so easy. The tests are easy, the quizzes are for extra credit, but do them anyways because they will really boost your grade. She is super nice and detailed in her lectures. But, do not waste money on the book. She and the TA's explain everything better than the book. I would definitely take her again.
This professor teaches like you already now the material, & goes way too fast. You are better off rewinding the videos over & over again. Tons of Xtra Credit which is the only benefit of taking her. She knows the subject very well but can't teach it. Not the nicest professor, can be stern & strict but she is better than other professors out there.
If you are going to take this class with this professor take the lecture capture not the basic online, it offer nothing but optional homework and slides that you will not understand unless you take he lecture capture or go to class. Class is only difficult if you don't study & practice. Studied for the final 5 days in advance and got a B.
Dr. Schindlbeck is great. She is extremely talented with math, primarily statistics. Lecture capture course, I would watch the videos, take notes, print off everything she made available to help students. Re-watch. I got an A in the course. Allows notes on exams. I would recommend taking only if strong in algebra.
She goes way to fast and is not helpful when you have questions. She has a nasty way about her. Stay away from this professor.
JUST GO TO CLASS! I had an awful time in Calc. but found this class to be way easier. Don't need textbook, she puts up tons of examples and weekly quizzes for extra credit that only add to your exam grade. LC is cool b/c you can watch lectures over and over. She does go fast but she is very thorough when going over assigned HW. TA's are great too.
Great professor. Don't need the book because she provides enough material to pass the class. Her exam are the same as the quiz. Quiz are counted as extra credit towards exam so do all the quizzes. She goes step by step and go over problem over and over. You must study to pass.
she is so clear w/ her explanations and she does a great job w/ her reviews before test, (w/ the exception of the final i think there were some things she didn't go over) i would take her again if i could for any other classes
taught this class at a level I could understand. piece of advice; TAKE THIS CLASS SERIOUSLY FROM THE BEGINNING. Do the extra credit quizzes, seriously. study for them and do good they help. Study and do the practice problems for exams. couldve gotten an A, but didnt start caring til 2nd exam. this class is do-able and youll feel smart after taking!
Dr. Schindlbeck was awesome! She helped break down the difficult topics into stuff that was relatively simple and easy. Incorporates lots of humor in her lectures and very down to earth. I wish all classes were like Dr. Schindlbeck's QMB!!
I am an online student and took Prof Schindlbeck QMB class. If you take this class online, please do not waste your money and buy the book, what will help you is the tutoring sessions that comes with the online course and the materials she post online. Do the extra credit quiz as they count towards your final grade. You get 3 attempts at it.
Professor Schindlbeck was great! I was skeptical to take this class for i have never taken a Lecture Capture course however i do not regret it. 3 exams and a cumulative final. Gives extra credit quizes that count towards your exam grades. You won't regret taking this teacher. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!
She's very nice and helpful! Not bad at all! Its 3 exams and 1 cumulative final all online and proctored! Extra credit is there! Just focus on the lectures and you can watch over and over at anytime! All types of notes allowed on exams so thats great and a formula sheet she gives.
I took the lecture capture version of this course. Honestly, don't waste your time going to class. You will learn more and the information is 100 times clearer at the free SI sessions. Went to every class with no SI and got a 60% on the first exam. Went to no classes and every SI session for 2nd exam and got a 90%. Plus is she let's you use Excel.
Took via LC. She knows her stuff and tries to break it down as simple as she can. Watch the lectures, use the powerpoints at notes and do all of her PoWs and packets. Allows notes on exams, and gives extra credit in quizzes. Doing the quizzes is a must! Never went to SI and passed with a B+. The textbook was never opened.
This was an online lecture capture so attendance was not mandatory, never went to class but watching the online lectures i believe is a must to understanding the material. She is funny and keeps your attention for the most part. There are a few extra credit quizzes and 3 exams and a final, all of which are proctored, you can use any notes & book
I love Professor Schindlbeck, she explains everything very clearly and you understand everything in class. She gives mini quizes which are extra credit and they are great reviews for the exams. I got a B but because I slacked off.
I took this class during a 6 week summer course and she made it so easy to sit through a 3 hour lecture. She's funny and easy going. She really wants her students to do well. Just do all the extra credit quizzes and don't slack off! I got an A and I hate math so it's possible!
Dr. Schindlbeck is an amazing professor! Her lectures are entertaining; three hours flew by and she provides plenty of examples in class and extra practice opportunities. She made QMB summer course easy. If you take advantage of ALL the practice problems, self-tests, TA exam reviews, and extra credit quizzes all three attempts, you should do well.
She is a solid professor. Will be blunt with you and doesn't mess around. You need to study for this class and do the extra credit if you'd like a good grade. Don't just take it to pass. Take the class to get a good grade and you will.
She was a difficult, but good teacher. She talks extremely fast and goes so quick you wish you could pause her. All of the material is possible, but you will need to understand the functions to pass. I recommend this class. She has 4 exams, no hw, and EC quizzes.
Dr. Schindlebeck was FANTASTIC!!! I couldn't of asked for a better professor for QMB. She's eccentric, entertaining, and exceptionally bright. There is a TON of study material to help you pass the proctored online exams (open book/note). She even lets you use Excel! Extra credit available. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you give her a shot. (lecture capture)
YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR YOUR GRADE IN THIS CLASS! 3 exams make up 70% of your grade, and the final is 30%. Practice problems are A MUST to do well on exams. Make sure you take advantage of all the extra credit, which could boost you up from a B to a B+ for example. Take LC! She goes SUPER fast. Very straightfoward lady and super funny. Knows her stuff
All the quizzes are only for extra credit and you get three oppurtunities to take each quiz. This class isn't difficult but you need to be diligentl and spend time practicing the material. She was a great professor.
Dr. Schindlbeck was one of the best professors I have ever had. QMB is one of the hardest classes in the college of business and she made it very doable. Tons of opportunities for extra credit. 4 tests, all proctored. Go to SI for help. Take the practice exams over and over for practice. No textbook needed. Do not fall behind. Highly recommend her!
One of the better profs at FAU. She is such a sweet woman. She tends to talk a little too fast. She wants you to learn and pass. Put in the effort and it can be an easy A. Pick a good partner for your projects!!! If excel isn't your thing, you may want the book, but I never used it. Does an amazing job explaining material! Would take her again!
There's so much extra credit that if you do it all you can afford to bomb an exam. I got a 75 on the first exam but still got an 98 in the class because I did all the extra credit and got A's on the rest of the exams. There is room to fail and correct yourself! Don't NOT do the extra credit! Owl tutoring is also very helpful but you have to pay.
Amazing professor, gives you everything you need to succeed in the class, no textbook necessary and gives extra credit quizzes. Watch the lectures and put in the practice and this class will be a breeze
I graded her high because QMB is a nightmare no matter who teaches it. But this professor makes this course look easy. Very thorough, detailed, takes her time with each questions. I took her course online and I'm glad I took it with her. My advice, make sure you practice with the review she posts online before each test.
GO TO CLASS AND PRINT EVERYTHING SHE GIVES YOU. Open book tests, quizzes:extra credit. Write everything down! Class is not easy but she makes you THINK & work hard for your grade. Take advantage of EVERYTHING she gives you. I passed with a 97% & I was taking 5 other classes, dont get scared, but dont be lazy either. Dont buy/rent the book!
For a difficult subject, take her. There are extra credit opportunities and she allows you to use your notes on the exams. Be sure to print what she provides the class, follow along and take notes.
Don't buy the book. Print out EVERY POWERPOINT SLIDE AND HOMEWORK PACKETS. Print everything because you can use it ALL on the tests! I would have stacks of her notes and hw to use for the tests (they use honorlock no cheating) and thanks to that everything was easy. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND! Write notes during her lectures and do hw. TAKE HER!!!!!!
I took lecture capture in 6 weeks. Do not believe these reviews from students who say she's the best. Take Prof. Sweet (he cares). Mary is a passive aggressive professor. She rushes, she does half of a problem and teaches the LONG WAY when there is a short cut. I am an adult all A's, 1 B, finishing my bachelor's. If you HAVE TO take her, take 16 wk
QMB is a hard class and this professor does what she can to try and make it easy for the students. She is very smart and has a history in what she teaches. She gives one quiz every week that is purely extra credit, so it is hard to fail the class. She cares about her students and is aware she teaches a tough class. Gives a ton of practice problems
I took her 6 week video lecture summer class. If you seem to struggle in math take the full length term instead of the fast track class. 3 tests 1 final, plus 5 extra credit quiz. No need to buy the book, she gives you enough material to help you learn. Take the self tests to find out which sections you dont understand and practice that.
The class has A LOT of materials so don't fall behind or you won't pass. First exam is usually the hardest as everyone usually does terrible on it, so visit a TA and go to SI if you need help. Do all the quizzes as it's free points! 3 exams and one cummulitive final exam. Also take lots of good notes as all the exams are open note.
3 tests + cumulative final. Easy if you watch the lectures and do the optional practice problems she posts. Quizzes similar to the test, and extra credit (5% points). You can use notes on the test, I recommend making a cheat sheet with everything and studying with it, so you can find the info easily on the test. 6 weeks summer LC, easy class
This professor is a really good teacher. Everyone always talks about how hard QMB is but I ended up with a 98% in the class because of her. Extra credit quizzes that add up to 5% total added on to your total grade. Open note tests. 3 tests. One of the easiest classes I've ever taken.
Not a tough class and I'm a slacker. She gives so many examples- they are very similar to what she tests on. Used examples of every concept that she did during the lectures so the exams were CAKE. I just used my cheatsheets and swapped the numbers around. Binge-watched the lectures the day before the test and got a 96 in the class
QMB was actually better than expected. She gives lots of examples, Pay attention take notes that you can use on the exam it will help a lot. Gives extra credit but they are based of quizzes on the topic.
She is a very fast speaker and tries to teach the material as if you already know it and understand her references/examples to the material. I stopped going to the class and took extremely detailed notes on the youtube videos provided in canvas for each module, I ended up finished with a 98 and only showed up for exams. Forgot I even had the book.
Took this class lecture captured video stream, nice professor. Talks very fast and goes through material fast. BUT she does do it more than once to make sure you understand, and she's very very nice when you ask questions. She's really nice and a good professor. Take thorough notes you can use them on exam!!!!
Best professor I've ever had for a class that's supposed to be very challenging. Very explanatory and will answer any questions. Gives you more than enough notes and assignments (that are not mandatory) to get you ready for the exams.
Professor Schindlbeck is the best professor I could ask for, especially for this subject. The amount of resources Prof Schindlbeck provides to make sure we students succeed is more than I could ever ask for. As long as you try in the course, watch the lectures and do the problems she tells you to do, no reason to not get an A or B.
AMAZING PROF. She is 100% the reason I passed this class on the first try. QMB is a hard course and having a good teacher really makes all the difference. She tries to stay away from the textbook and huge formulas and instead teaches by giving examples and dumbs it down for everyone. No question is stupid with her and I couldnt ask for more.
Took the class online and it was not hard at all. The lectures are useful but I found the SI sessions to be more important to passing. Material is easy. DO THE QUIZZES, they are half a letter grade alone and they are not hard. Nice teacher. 5 quizzes and 4 exams... thats it and the quizzes dont count against you just extra credit! DO THEM.
Great professor! The class is difficult but she is more than willing to help if needed. Go to class and do the extra credit quizzes and self-tests - you will be fine!
Everyone I knew stated this would be a hard class. It wasn't. Easy A. That is probably due to my Calc 1 and Calc 2 background but still. No problem with this class at all. Got a perfect 100%
Do not buy the book. Do all assignments until you get a 100 and do all the extra credit quizzes. Tests are a bit easier than the assignments. Great professor. Put in the work and you will pass. Do not be afraid to take the six-week summer lecture capture.
Not the easiest class but that might be because I took it over the summer. Pay attention to the lectures, take plenty of notes, and pay close attention to her reviews. I passed with a B. Shes entertaining during lecture captures.
THE BEST!!! i took this class in 6 weeks over the summer and she mad it easy to get a 100! she does a lot of practice problems which helps a lot, gives 5 quizes that are extra credit, practice problems are just like the homework. the tests are open book & notes and u can use Exel. She made the class real easy, just do the problem sets 4 tests!!
Makes a difficult class, easy. She is a sweetheart, I recommend taking live streams because she is soft spoken and goes pretty fast. Overall great!
I took the LCVS in Fall of 2018 and The class was great overall, most of the grades were weighted on the exam, the other quizzes and assignments could help slightly in terms of grading, but they just help reinforce the lectures which were really good. She is really funny in her lectures and the study material is somewhat similar to the exam
LOVED this course! The exams weigh the most, but she gives plenty of material to help succeed - problem sets, examples, youtube videos, self tests, and quizzes. She made a difficult class super easy and entertaining. I recommend going to the actual class rather than watch LC, she LOVES questions and interactions. 10/10 recommend.
I took this class as a lecture capture and she was amazing! if you watch the lectures all the test and quizzes are explained and its easy to get at least a B on each test. work is easy, only grades on quizzes, self tests and exams, with exams being 90% of the grade but are not too hard if you pay attention. no book needed and shes an excellent prof
Easy A if you listen to the lectures! Awesome professor gives great feedback a lot of practice used in lectures and helps you to do. If you take notes, listen to lectures, write down all questions,examples, and definition you'll pass! Do the work and great professor makes QMB easiest thing in the world!!! Can use notes on exams & practice, final.
Took this course via lecture capture in spring. Textbook not required. Grade based on 4 exams(90%) and quizes(10%). If you watch each lecture and study the many examples she does in the videos youll be set. Every example Dr. Schindlbeck does in her lectures are very similar to exam material. Allows notes for exams. She is the best and good person
Class is an easy A. there's graded homework and problem sets that help you learn the material.
I took the lecture capture class which was great because you can watch lectures at your own pace. QMB was not an easy class for me, but I am glad I had her as my professor. She goes over things over and over, gives you lots of help with practice questions and answers and is very clear on due dates.
Took six-week accelerated lecture capture over summer. Textbook not needed but in order to really grasp the material you have to work along with her during lectures, meaning you will need to print a lot of stuff throughout. While the class was very quick, she was great. Very accessible and wants students to succeed. Open note exams!
One of the best professors ive had at FAU. Everything she teaches is so clear and EXACTLY what is on the test. 100% recommended
Be ready to strap down and devote lots (LOTS) of time and practicing for this class. Prof. Schindlbeck does not, I repeat DOES NOT given ANY extra credit for this class whats so ever. I don't understand majority of her ratings and why she has the tags that she does because I disagree. Worst class I ever took in my college career. Good Luck.
I loved this professor. Her class could be challenging but all of her exams are open notes. Make sure to do the self tests and quizzes because the exams are very similar.
I loved her personality so much. So here's the thing, if you know math and how to read the problem, then the class is an easy A. My biggest mistake was not having notes with me during the test cause I felt very confident,so don't make this mistake. But,you will struggle if you are not ready to put some time to learn math and connect it to class
This class is the first one I withdraw form in my entire school history. This class is unstructured. Assignment are done in groups worst thing ever. since she expect you to learn everything by your self. Takes over 3 days to answer emails, doesn't give information. only have one power point doc + plus basic lecture. This class requires way more.
Great Professor.
People will NEVER forget how others acted during a pandemic. Businesses, employers and professors. Unfortunately she is a poor example of humanity. I had an A in class before everyone was uprooted from FAU. Most teachers adapting accordingly, this one is not. No assisting students in any way, acts like status quo, reads lecture like teleprompter.
cares about her students academically by offering good resources but has no actual personable or nice personality. i was .95% (not even ONE point) away from getting a passing grade of C rather than a C- and she failed me even though i showed her how hard i worked. find a professor that is fair and actually has a heart during a semester like this
Professor Schindlbeck is a conservative person and you can tell by how she grades the class and how she speaks during lecture. As long as you dont mind no agreeing with her side comments, the class is a fine choice. Very straight forward and easy to understand but you NEED to follow instruction to pass. Never any extra credit and doesnt round
She is AMAZING! I would definitely take her again. Quick tip STUDY do not procrastinate, you won't pass. (I took this class twice because the first time I procrastinated.) You need to put time into this class. She is available to help outside class. She is so funny. Ask questions she LOVES that. She really cares about her students
If you have the option don't take her. Most of your grade is group projects and she grades very tough. Ambiguous instructions with little feedback for improvement, doesn't answer emails. Had to put WAY more time in than other professors for the A. That being said, I did learn a lot, and tests were easy, but not worth the struggle of groupwork.
I took the Summer 2 course, which is the compressed course. She gave easily 3 assignments a week and a test every two weeks, on top of 4 lectures totaling an hour each a week. She has no sympathy for you if you miss an assignment, and I missed one. I failed by 1.26 points and she refused to help me out, saying I should take her class again....
Professor Schindlbeck is a great professor. There were a lot of homework and quizzes due every week with the 6 weeks class. She is an amazing teacher though. Her lectures are very clear and if you follow her instructions you can do good in her class. Tests are clearly from what she taught in the class.
I would never take her class again. In the midst of this pandemic she was extremely robotic and had no compassion for students. She treated us all like we were incompetent when the course material is EXTREMELY hard to grasp. She had no leniency for late assignments and it felt like she could care less about her students success. Do not recommend
This class has been really difficult for me, but she is defiantly the best choice for QMB3600. Class is extremely test heavy so be ready to pull your hair out. Use the cram tutoring resources they make the class much easier. Be ready to pay up for those resources. Her lectures are ok but you have to watch them and force yourself to comprehend.
I really liked Dr. Schindlbeck, she is very knowledgeable and explains the material in a clear and direct way. Tests are the bulk of your grade but if you watch the lectures and do the assignments you should be good. I would take her again in a heart beat.
This was one of the most difficult classes I have taken at FAU. Use cram tutoring if you want a chance of passing. Self-test were very helpful and repeatable. I did not watch a single lecture after the first test and improved my grade from failing to passing using cram tutoring only. The teacher was nice but honestly did not help much on the work.
everyone was saying that this class would be very hard but she made it very easy especially her teaching methods and she goes over the question step by step. she has a TA that does tutoring-> Marcela has been so helpful and answers all our questions! i definitely recommend her as your teacher and going to the sessions!!
Professor Schindlbecks explanation and step-by-step examples helped me grasp the material with ease. Her upbeat lectures were full of charisma and made it entertaining to watch. I found myself laughing at silly mentions of students not answering back in an empty classroom. It made me become more engaged and better able to absorb the material.
I took this during the summer 6 week course(ONLINE). If it wasn't for NEIL and MARCELA, I would've struggled. Take advantage of free tutoring! 6 quizzes (one optional), 8 self test(one optional), 3 test, 1 OPTIONAL final(replaces lowest grade). Quizzes and self tests aren't proctored. Tests and Final are proctored through Honorlock. Heavy learning.
This Professor seems to be a great one, but if you don't put your 100% you will get lost and score low on exams. Some of the material taught gets twisted when it comes to the Exams. Majority of grades to pass this class comes from the EXAMS. So make time for this class or you will fail and she does not take into consideration anything!
She speaks very fast and will not slow down at all! I learned most of the material from other students and tutors. It is a math class that you must study a lot to be able to grasp the material. Yet, the tests are fair as far as difficulty. I would certainly choose a different professor if I knew better.
Fully online course. Tests are proctored and quizzes for each module. She's a great teacher, but be prepared to put in the work for the class. She's super accessible outside of class which is great. 100% rec and would take again.
8 week online intro course but requires a lot of self-teaching. Only 30-minute prerecorded lectures per module/chapter, no live sessions/review. No TA support. Almost all assignments are paired with another person. Use of CANVAS is unorganized. Expectations are not clear. There is room for improvement yet I do not think it will happen.
I thought that Professor Schindlbeck and her TA's were amazing. I am not certain if there was a book for this class; I just watched the lectures and she is very clear and witty. The only con to her class is that there are 3 exams (plus final optional) and that is 75% of your grade. I would definitely take her again.
one of the best professors i've taken. assignments include self tests (unlimited attempts), quizzes (2 attempts), and exams (proctored, open notes/excel). lectures were worth watching as she stays on topic (and throws in a joke occasionally) and explains everything thoroughly. also gives other optional material to study. just don't procrastinate
Avoid this professor. None of the questions she does for reviews is on any of the exams. Extremely tough class.
Take this class at your own risk, the ratings are not very accurate. She is very rude I had my work done 3 weeks ahead and missed a minor assignment and she still refused to let me retake it. Her lectures are quick but the examples do help. I don't have many complaints for her teaching style just not a very good or understanding professor.
If you are not good at math I would highly recommend you take Professor Schindlbeck. She gives you lots of opportunities to pass the class. However, you will have to study! the best way to study is to do the self test & quizzes. She allow's you to use notes on the exams so if you fail its on you. Her lectures are long but super helpful.
This professor is awesome, but the material for the class is REALLY difficult. If you do not study for at least 1-2 hours every few days you will not pass. I had to study a ton for this class, but it was worth it in the end.
If you're curious about all the other low scored reviews, they're true. The class is based off of exams which are 75% of your overall grade. Good luck bringing your grade back up as the rest of the assignments (which are due often such as tests, quizzes, and self tests) are worth so little. It hardly makes a difference. Good style, bad methods.
Prof. Schindlbeck isn't a bad professor, just not very patient in explaining concepts and also not very responsive via email. She probably looked at emails once a week. Hard class overall, test heavy and uses honorlock. She gives an optional exam at the end of the course to drop one of the previous exams, but that was really the only pro.
This is a very difficult course, with hard-to-grasp material. This professor was very clear with instructions and lecture material. Pay attention and study HARD. As long as you work hard, your grade will reflect that. What do you expect from an upper-division mathematics course?
Take her if you have to take this class. she is an okay professor who does not give extra credit. but just make sure you take all her quizzes and homework. Try to get the best grade in those. for exams i got a -C then an F and then a C and i still passed the class. dont fall behind like i did and you should get a better grade.
Prof. Schindlbeck was great! Her lectures & notes were easy to follow and her dry sense of humor made it amusing. There is a LOT of non-graded homework she suggests, but it helps a lot with tests. Consistency is a must, don't skip assignments. She doesn't extend due dates or curves, but the grading criteria is clear. Do the work and you'll be fine.
This class isn't very difficult if taken/taught the way it should be. The material she gives you isn't terrible to understand, the bad part is that her exams are MUCH harder than other content and even though it's open note, the content basically doesn't exist in her lectures/powerpoint. 3 exams on Lockdown count for 75% of your grade.
The tests are nothing like her youtube lectures. Go to tutoring and practice a lot.
She gave me generic responses when I would email her, I was working during lectures, so I asked for an arrangement of extra office hours on a different day and she was inflexible. The TA was even worse, I felt like I was talking to a robot. I wanted to reach out to review my tests after I had taken them and no response. I have to retake this class.
The ratings on her are not accurate at all!! I had a mission trip to a 3rd world country planned for the end of the semester; I hadn't missed any of her assignments prior, so I emailed her asking if I could take the final a few days early. She responded back that she will not change the date nor the time for me. she is very unwilling to compromise
Her videos are really helpful
This Professor is horrible, talks way too fast to understand anything. Tests are all 75% of your grade and no extra credit. She has to have the worst teaching style I have had throughout my entire college career. Do not take this professor if you have an option.
although this course was easy, it was require a decent amount of time to ensure you know how to do certain things (not something you can jump into an exam blind). however exams are opened notes which helps A LOT. just as long as you're willing to put time into learning, i feel its a very smooth class to take.
Professor Schindlbeck's class is challenging, but her videos are very helpful. Consistency is key - do all the non-graded work, and unstuck study can be a great study aid alongside the textbook. Attendance is a must.
Professor Schindlbeck's class is challenging but manageable if you stay on top of the work. The exams are tougher than the lectures, so make sure to use resources like Unstuckstudy for extra practice. Consistent effort is key to doing well in this course.
She is amazing! Tutoring always available and she is always ready to help you. She's super funny too. She drops the lowest exam grade too, final optional. I suggest going to class even though it's not mandatory. Tons of practice available too! 10/10!
Honestly, coursework is ok. Exam heavy and difficult. The teacher and TAs are sassy & unhelpful. I reached out since the browser required was not working (Watched the lecture, talked to IT, stated I was aware there is no password, but Idk whats wrong) Res: "Maybe watch the lecture" Multiple friends had the same experience with the prof and TAs.
Overall her assignments were easy but she does not round up final scores, my final grade in the class was an 89.09% I asked if u can bump it up, she does not offer it. Please don't waste ur time with useless professor like this one, so unprofessional and unnecessary.
Hated this course with a passion, super challenging. Lectures were ok but hard to follow, lots of gambling/card game references. 3 exams and an optional cumulative final. Long "self tests" w/ unlimited attempts and shorter quizzes w/ 2. Teacher is understanding of extenuating circumstances.
She's an ok Professor. The material for me was not that hard and the structure of the class was not too hard to follow. The only thing for me was that one of the TA's were very aggressive and kind of rude in tutoring sessions and it was hard remembering that assignments were due at 9pm and not 11:59pm like most other classes.
As long as youre not lazy and are somewhat intelligent, ur good She gives you more than enough for what you need and exams are all open book and notes. Her lectures were good. She drops the lowest grade for all assignment types. Only bad thing is TAs are unnecessarily rude, like it makes you wonder what happened to them as a kid level of rude.
Took 6-week QMB3600 online with her. Just put in the time. It's a somewhat challenging class. Many times I felt like ripping my hair out, but as I stuck with it a little more, I had many “ah-ha!” moments. Once you understand the material, it's pretty smooth sailing. Make sure you do all the test reviews and problems she provides. Finished with 98.
Be ready to teach yourself (the TA is really helpful though). The study guides and exams don't always match. She failed me by 1 point (C-), so I had to retake the class. If you have another option, don't take her.
Took in Spring 2025. Not a hard course, I mainly taught myself all the topics as I did not want to watch the lectures. Just teach urself the hw and then do a practice quiz and exams. Then u will easily pass. Also open note and she gives you a pre-made formual sheet too
