He is a great teacher and cares if you care. He is willing to answer any questions you have, and he dose use the text book for examples (just for the record) and long as you go to class and do your hawks you'll do fine.

He is an awesome instructor. I had him and i couldn't ask for a better instructor. His teaching method is efficient and fun. He explains very good, crystal clear.You want an A, do his maple, practice exercises and you'll do great. His class is so not stressful.Fun instructor, better lectures meaning high grade and better GPA in your student records

He is a great teacher if you can do it without the book.He only taught to the MAPLE TA assignment,and never really gave book references.I felt like he was a bit flustered in class with his lessons,and sometimes I just couldn't focus because he seems to have crazy ADD.If you can deal with surface explanation then you will do fine.I didn't deal well.

If you can deal with someone running all over the room then he is ok. He loves his job, but I never felt that he was prepared to teach the class. He NEVER used the book. We were only taught the maple test, and quizzes.He was way to unorganized for me. If you need structure, then he isn't the teacher for you.Extremely nice though. It's not personal.

He is very high energy! He never seemed focused in class. He is a nice guy, but if you are looking for a structured teacher than he isn't for you. He is all over the room, never once used the book. He only taught the maple quizzes. If you need to understand more conceptual math then take someone else. He is very surface.

I took his on line class. I do not recommend to anyone that is not good at math. This Professor does not communicate well and if you ask a question he does not try to explain the answer & recommends 2 go to the lab. Lots of on line quizzes & no extra credit. I heard he is ok in class but do not take him on line unless you are A+ at self teaching!

Mr. Schramm was very helpful. He answered emails quickly and really addressed the questions in them. He communicated with the class well and helped when he was needed. I would definitely recommend him for any class. Just a tip for college algebra: do not take it online if you are not self-motivated or if you are not good at time management.

Make sure you actually do the HW well because he rounds up your grade if its high. Tests are all mult choice and there are only 25 questions. 4 tests, online HW and quizzes, and the final are all his grades. c
