I have always loved math. His class is easy, but not one of my easiest classes and professors. He is helpful. He tries to make jokes, but some arent funny. He gives help and bonuses. He tries to make the class easy. You have to do the homework, its for a grade. He prepares you for exams.

I hate math, so this class was tuff for me...However, i went to every class did good on quizes, labs, and did most of my homework walking away with a c! Matt's a nice guy and held many review sessions.

Extremely helpful and always available for help. Grades tests and quizzes that day so there is no wait or anticipation to see what you got. Best teacher for math 156 from what i hear.

This is a very hard class, but Matt does a VERY good job teaching it. He gives you plenty of quizzes (take home)so you have time to get an A on them.

Very helpful! I suggest taking him if you have the chance for any math course.

Matt is an awesome instructor. He will help anytime it's needed, and is very thorough and complete when explaining the work and knowledgable. I would take him for any Calculus or above course. He was an Electrical Engineering major who decided to teach Math. He makes it easy to pass the class, as long as you give him a little effort.

Matt is a wonderful math teacher! He is extremely helpful and has lots of study sessions to help you learn the material. He seems kind of mean at first but he's really nice once you get to know him.

He's a very good teacher, pretty funny, VERY anal about attendance, so go to class. It's a pretty challenging class, especially if you don't like math, like myself.

Easy class, he goes really fast but if you're decent at math you will pass. Never talked to him one on one, mainly because he seems like a jerk.

I thought he was a really easy teacher. Just go to class and get attendance points and take the quizes and look up the answers either in the book or online, Very Easy! Also test are just as easy. when going into the lab pull up your test and then pull up your quizes from that section and some of the questions are there. Easy class, recommended.

Pretty good teacher. However, his notes didn't really help too much with the online quizzes. He always had a bunch of helpful reviews when exams were coming up and answered questions if they were asked. Takes attendance every day for points.

Best math teacher I've ever had! Just go to class and pay attention and you'll do fine. He was very helpful if you asked questions and wanted you to understand the material.

he's a good teacher, but if you're not good at math, you may not do very well. however, he gives you many chances for extra credit and really seems to care that you do well in his class. an added bonus is that he's hilarious and cute as can be.

His teaching of the material is fine, but his grading is beyond insane. The tests were not about knowing the concepts of the material taught, but seemed to be about formatting everything exactly how he wanted it, and him searching for little ways to take off unnecessary points. There was not enough time to take the tests. He mocked students.

One of the best teachers I've had for any subject. His teaching was easy to understand while still thorough. His tests for Integrals and Volume were on the long side of things, but the rest were easy. WVU needs more teachers like him.

He is very arrogant, and rude. His grading is bogus, looks at every way possible to take off points. On my last lab he couldn?t let a 100 pass so I received a 99.75. He lies about the extra credit and if you confront him its WW3! I would take another section because this will be a D/F repeat!

It's a hard class but he gives every oppertunity for extra credit. Go to his office hours before each test and he will go over everything and do examples for any question you have, all he asks for is some effort out of class or he gets frustrated really easy and will make you go home and learn some of the material

I think he was a good teacher, funny. You have to do the HW out of the book if you want to pass. The Quiz's are easy if you do the HW, and they have some of the exact questions on the Exams. I dont know yeah every one dislikes him so much. You just have to do the work and stop being lazy! It's Math, common.

He's a pretty good teacher, he is very arrogant, but the stuff he teaches at least makes sense. This was the easiest class I've taken in college, the tests are all really easy, I got 95% or 100% on all of them. As long as you go to class and pay attention there's no reason you should get anything less than an A.

he is stuck in his own world and comes off being intimating before class he ask questions and comments but every one is scared of what other people think out them and if you try to ask him a question he stares at you like you are a idiot for asking him a question and rush though how to do it and end up being more confused than when you started off

He is a great teacher. I am not a math person and got an A in his class. He is available for office hours and if very helpful if you go to them. His humor is a little different but I dont think he is trying to be mean. He wants his students to be involved in the class so thats why he does that.

One of the easiest teachers ever. He hands out work sheets you do in class on mondays. These sheets literally teach you how to do everything. I didnt study for the first test got a 70 and then studied for the rest and got all 90's and above. guy can be funny. Do not talk in his class or leave early he will smite you. Overall B+ rating

Great instructor, very thorough. Always available to help if you ask. Corny but cute sense of humor. Class average was low, but in my opinion, not a reflection on him since most students barely pay attention. He expects respect in the classroom (as he should!) and is quick to put people in their place if acting up. Firm teacher, but effective.

The difficulty is more in the class itself on my end, He is a decent guy when you talk to him, but definitely tries to make you angry. The tests were difficult, the final was 20 questions and was the most difficult final I have taken. I liked the him, but the class was a pain. He taught the material well, but it is a ton of material.

He's not a bad teacher, he shows many examples and explains all of the concepts thoroughly. The class is pretty difficult though because it covers so much stuff. Attendance is HUGE in his eyes, go to class! Show up, do the homework, study and you'll definitely get at least a B.

Pretty good professor. Lectures are very clear, and he has a good sense of humor. If you do all of the recommended problems from the book, tests are extremely easy. Labs are graded a bit harshly, but they don't effect the grade that much. Most of my lab grades were in the 70s but I still have an A in the class.

He is Very clear in lectures. He does grade hard and come off as unpleasant. Those who are having difficulty have not made an attempt to go to his office hours. He will always be at office hours and is very good at explaining what needs fixed. Not a bad professor.

Labs were graded by a lab assistant = not cool. I got a 95 and 100% on every test- the labs pulled me down to a B in the class. But, if you go to class and do the online quizzes, the tests are crazy easy. Everyone says he's mean- he IS NOT! his humor is sarcastic- I think he's funny and super nice! I would recommend him !! Just be careful in lab !

I saw all the review on here and got so nervous but I promise he's an awesome teacher! He wants you to do well you just need to put in some effort he gave 45 points of extra credit this semester that were like online surveys. He means well with his nerdy bad joke and he wants everyone to do well and will always help you if you need it!

Was very good at explaining how equations worked and where they came from. Made sure everybody was on the same page before moving on. If help was needed he would be there to help. I enjoyed the class overall.

Go to his office and take notes. Not just on the math stuff though. He often makes up trivia questions for extra credit that you can figure out if you where observant and visited his office a few times. At any rate, he is very well organized and presents the curriculum as clearly and concisely as the subject demands.

Labs were tough. Told jokes in class.

Many people complain about him being mean, but if you respect him, show up to class, and do the work, you won't have any problems. His jokes are super cheesy, but equally hilarious. This course had online homework problems, which seem like a pain to do, but are very helpful when it comes test time. He is also always willing to answer questions.

Schraeder was one of my favorite professors. He is super good at explaining things in a way that's easy to interpret and is willing to repeat techniques until everyone understands. Always offered extra credit and reviews before exams. Homework was a lot of work though.

Super helpful outside of class. If you show that you care he's completely willing to help. Took the time to help me one on one through an entire homework assignment I was struggling with. Seems a little scary but it's mostly to get people to pay attention. lots of homework, if you study exams aren't too bad.

Schraeder is awesome. He has a really good sense of humor and is very personable. He's so knowledgable and is really good at explaining the material in class. As long as you actually go to class, you'll do well. Don't bother buying/renting a textbook because I never even opened mine.

BEST MATH PROF YOU'LL FIND TRUST ME

Schraeder has a bad rep and I feel like people dont like him because of what they hear. He is strict, Hates when people leave class early,and a tough grader on labs. Despite all that, he is a great teacher. He reveiws a lot and really does want to make sure the students understand material. HW is easy and exams aren't bad.

The best math lecture I have had. The professor is awesome and smart. He is ready to help and answer any questions. He has a sense of humor. In addition, he encourages the students to answer during the lecture. I highly recommended.

He is fhe best math professor ever! I never got bored during his class and I enjoyed it alot. If you need any help you can always email him of go to his office, he is really helpful.

He is a very caring and funny professor. His jokes might not be funny at times, but its so he can learn about his students on a more personal level. He knows all students by name, and makes sure everyone throughly understands the material. He assigns no homework but quizzes and tests, but you wont pass if you don't do some personal book work.

Great guy, cares a lot about his students, not hard to do well in this class. There is extra credit opportunities for the homework and exams. Grades are usually curved. Go to class and do the homework and you'll do fine. It isn't hard.

Schraeder, is a really genius person he could explain anything to you from basic math to calc 4, though, you need to work for your grade as he does not curve grades even if the average is really low, study for every quiz and test. Every point counts I was 0.23 from an A, also he rounds down not up.

Schrader is an amazing teacher. His teaching style is all examples and really goes into depth about each problem. He really cares if you are understanding the material so if your confused ask him questions and he will gladly answer them. The quizzes are the most challenging so be sure to study hard for those. Go to class and do your homework!

I've got to say Dr. Schraeder does what he can to help students in the class. but if you do the homework early, you get extra credit on Mondays. also do the in-class activities, exercise sets from the book, you'll do fine on the exam to be confident with the materials covered overall.

Dr. Schraeder was a great prof. His lectures were very interactive and he gave many examples that were in the exams. The course was quite difficult, but he was very willing to help with any questions or struggles that I had. He was very accessible and answered my emails within 30 minutes each time.

Schraeder's class was by no means easy unless you know trig. I never took a formal trig class in high school, so I didn't have the foundational knowledge. That said, I learned so much from this class. If you do the homework early, 25% extra credit on the assignment, which was a lifesaver! He works fast during lecture, but he answers all questions!

The Professor does what he can to help the students out. Also has a very good sense of humor. He often relates math to the real world and which often makes me laugh. He does this because he means well and wants students to succeed in class. some students in the past says he is mean which he is really not. if you do what's expected you'll be fine.

Very intelligent professor who is great at speaking and presenting material, and very open to answering questions and making sure you understand. He is also quite funny. However, he is quite the harsh grader and you'd often lose like 33% or 50% of an entire problem's score for forgetting to put down something irrelevant while showing your work.

On the first day Dr. Schraeder said that Calc 4 is his favorite class to teach, and it shows. Most of the class is lecture and example problems, and there is usually a "Quiz" due before each class. The material is straight forward and the tests are very fair. He offers a lot of bonus opportunities and is always making jokes. A solid choice!

Dr. Schraeder moves at a college pace, and he fully expects content to be at least looked at before class along with some understanding of the lecture for the day. Go to class, take notes, do the homework early for EC, and don't get behind and an A is easily achievable. Also, take 128 in person. If you took trig in high school, you'll be fine.

This class was easy for me and I enjoyed it. However, if math is not your strong suit I would suggest someone else because the other comments are correct on teaching style. He is very fast-paced and flies through the material.

Good teacher, corny jokes but I laughed. Easy concepts taught well and very easy to answer/ask questions. Gives good and encouraging feedback if a mistake is made.

Dr. Schraeder is an excellent professor. He cares about his job, and he cares about his students. His class is not easy. Tests are important, homework and quizzes weekly, but if you put the work in and listen to his lectures, he is a very fair professor and a good guy overall.

As someone who is not naturally good at math, I definitely had to put in extra effort to be prepared for his exams, but he is a good professor if you pay attention and write down the examples. Really nice and approachable in person but he can be condescending over email. He never misses attendance grades and make sure to read his emails fully.

He's genuinely the best math prof I've ever had. His method of teaching is less memorization & more knowing what you're doing and why. He's super approachable and can pinpoint where someone's thought process is/where they might have gone wrong. He cares if you care about your grade/participate. Ask questions during lecture & do the homework early.

This class is one where you will definitely have to spend a lot of time outside of class reviewing but the in-class examples are very helpful. I am terrible at math but if you do the homework, the WebAssign exams are very predictable, and the written exams are also mostly the same stuff as in class. I even ended with a 101% because of extra credit.

Professor Schraeder's MATH128 class requires serious effort, but he's a fair, approachable teacher. The material is challenging, but attending lectures and using resources like unstuck study can really help. Overall, a worthwhile class if you're willing to put in the work.

His way of teaching can be confusing. What I liked about him was that he always took 2-3 days to review before an exam and went over problems that students sent in. If I ever didn't understand a problem on a homework or review, I would take a picture and send it in then he would do the problem in class.

He is a very nice and sweet teacher, who seems to care about his students. Tests aren't too hard, but they are short so it is harder to do well. Teaches material well and homework amount is not too bad.

In my opinion the class is not difficult. He works through problems in the book and usually has multiple review days before a test. Exam preps are almost exactly like the exams. If you do the work and pay attention in class you will have no problem getting an A in this class.

teaches lesson well, gets boring at times but it is easy to understand and he uses class participation to help. also funny and genuinely cares about his students

Great math teacher for both 122 online and 124 in person. He explains everything clearly and makes sure students understand. He's welcoming with questions, and attending class gives you all the notes you need. Homework is easy if you do the workbook. Gateway exams allow daily attempts, and exam preps have unlimited tries.

Super nice guy that likes to have fun in class, always willing to help you individually but gives a lot of class time for answering questions and reviewing.

Star Wars fanatic.

Willing to help all students, was very funny and had an upbeat attitude even though it was only 830 in the morning. He taught well and was very helpful

Great teacher! His lectures were genuinely intriguing, best math teacher i've ever had

Dr. Schraeder is a tough grader, but he's actually good at teaching. Take home quizzes were more helpful than homework. Pay attention to fun facts he shares about himself. They might show up as bonus on quizzes.
