I took Prof. Schumann for MGMT 305 Business Ethics class. The class was extremely boring and long, especially for a 2 hour class. Since it was a one credit class we met once a week for seven weeks and he lectured the entire time. At the end of each class period you take a quiz on the lectures. The quizzes are easy. You don't need to buy the book

Class is based off exams, but he allows us to truly understand what we are learning by having open-note exams. He cares about his students and wants us to succeed. Always available to help students!! Also, just because attendance isn't mandatory, I recommend going anyways. Helps with exam hints and can be a great connection for your future!!!!

I don't have enough good things to say about Paul, nicest guy ever. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the topics that he covers. He makes the course very enjoyable and gives you all the tools/resources necessary to succeed. You know exactly what's on the exams before you take them. One assignment the entire semester.

Very very nice professor. Gives you everything you need to know for test. Wants you to do well and have material necessary for expected knowledge. Do not have to show up to lectures. Posts all powerpoints. Doesn't require book to do well on tests.

Professor Schumann was one of the very best professors I have had. He wants his students to succeed. Best part is he understands that we all learn differently - some by lectures, some by reading, etc. and provides the ability for all students to learn the way that works best for them. A must-take prof!

This was my first management class- he exceeded my expectations. He was a great professor if you went to the lectures and made them seem interesting and relatable. He gives you the option to come to the lectures, read the book, or to look at the powerpoints so a learn at your type of style. He is an amazing professor and I loved his course. 10/10

He's very organized. No textbook needed for this class. He gives out the pdf version of the book on d2l to students. Very nice person and very helpful. The presentation slides are what's important to pass the course and the study guide for the exams. The exams are all from the powerpoint slides.
