Awesome teacher. Always very helpful. Would take him again!
No Comments
Awesome Teacher- MAT 121 was overwhelming, but 122 with him is great. Very little homework, class is very relaxed. Highly reccomended!!
I got a C in MAT 121 w/ Frederick, but got an A with Prof. S! He is truly amazing, and actually made the class enjoyable. I reccomend him to everyone!
always explained clearly. always ready to explain again.
Mr. Schwiegerling is a great guy! He really cares that everyone understands what is being taught, and provides plenty of examples! There are only 3 tests, so you need to do well on them, but he really prepares you well, and you get to bring 2 3x5 index cards with info on them to the tests. He is a great professor! Take him!!!!
Mr.S is very calm & easy going. He takes his time in explaining the materials and as long as you ask questions, he will be sure to help you understand before moving on. He prepares you well for tests. He is definitely there for the students! Don't think you can show up freely & then expect him to cater to you! He makes learning fun & interesting.
Awesome professor. Knows everything about the subject at hand. Is fair. Take this professor. You will not regret it!
great teacher. really looks out for the interest of the students. puts math in simpler terms.
This teacher genuinely cares about his students. Although the material is tricky and he doesn't quite know how to explain it all, he is not out to make you fail. Class average on tests were around a 65 but will curve the grades. Kind person overall
Take this teacher you wont regret it ! Material was difficult to understand but if you go for extra help you will do well on the test because questions in review are similar to tests. Grades are curved because everyone does bad
Great professor! Extremely understanding. He is funny, presents the material clearly, and answers every question. I would recommend him to anyone. The class wasn't easy but he made it as simple as possible.
One of the nicest professors I have ever had. He genuinely cares about each of his students and wants us to succeed. Take any class that you can with him, he is great!
Very knowledgeable on the subject matter. Helps you think outside the box on problem solving.
Professor Schwiegerling is THE BEST teacher I have had in my college career. He makes statistics not just understandable, but useable. I am confident that the skills I acquired in his class will be of great benefit to me when I have to take graduate level stats classes next year. Thanks Mr. S!!
He's a good teacher and I would highly reccomend him. Tests are fiar, he grades on a curve, and rarely gives homework. Does a lot of group work in MAT 122 so sit with people who know what they are doing
Mr. S is a great professor. I had him for Statistics 311 and Math 122. He makes stats understandable. For 122 he provides useful information and activities you will remember and actually use in your future classrooms. Grades on a curve and will graciously help when you need it. I highly recommend this professor for any course.
Excellent professor! Statistics isn't that hard, but he makes things very clear. Always willing to help students when needed! Would definitely recommend him!
Statistics was my nightmare class till I took it from Prof Sshwiegerling. I would highly recommend taking math stats from him if you are having any difficulties at all in that subject. Great class, great professor!
Mr. S is great. The class is alot easier than the other 311's
What a great professor! He is extremely helpful, barely gives homework, and his tests are straightforward. I definitely recommend taking him for any class.
Mr. S is by far one of the best professors I have had. He takes difficult material and makes it understandable to all. Straightforward tests which he helps your prep for and he is willing to give you extra help whenever you need it. Come to class and you will literally have everything you need to pass! If you need to take any math he is the best!!!
Awesome professor! Everything that is expected of you for the class is clearly defined and the work is straight forward. Go to class, practice the problems and you'll get an A. He's helpful, funny and a great math teacher! I understand statistics now!
Great teacher! If you attend class there is no way you will do bad. He is very helpful when needed. If you do the work he gives you will Do great!
Take this professor for stats!! I had to retake this class because my credits did not transfer. He makes stats understandable. I am by no means a math genius but i did very well in this class. If you come to class you should pass. He answers any questions and helps with anything. I would recommend him to anyone.
I actually was choked up leaving the final. He's a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person. Math is not a strong subject for me and I usually find anyway imaginable to get out of going to other classes. Not this time!! I loved going to class and I loved the rewarding grades that resulted in his teachings. Thanks Mr. S!
Very, very nice professor, extremely knowledgeable and goes out of his way to make sure his students fully understand the material. It is fast paced, but he made MAT-311 interesting and fun to learn! Go to class, do the assignments/homework, study for tests (only 2 tests and a final) you will definitely get a good grade! PS. He LOVES Chocolate!!
Take with him! very nice professor! goes out of his way to help! class is all tests but after the tests he hands out extra credit! he really is passionate about his job and wants everyone to do well!
There are two exams and a final that are short and straight forward. He goes over everything that will be on them. There is ocasionally homework, maybe like 5 assignments total. Two actually handed in. As for teaching, he was very clear and took the time to make sure everyone understood the material. He was willing to help before and after class.
Statistics can be tough but schwiegerling does a great job of providing students with the help they need. Would recommend to any BSC student if you have to take stats.
I was extremely nervous about taking this class because I hadn't taken Math in a couple years. Not an easy A but he's a good teacher.
He is a total sweetheart. The material is very easy to begin with, and he keeps it easy to understand. Three tests, no graded homework and offers three extra credit assignments. Easiest A by far, loved the class!
He is a total sweetheart. The material is very easy to begin with, and he keeps it easy to understand. Three tests, no graded homework and offers three extra credit assignments. Easiest A by far, loved the class! Although you will need to buy the book as he uses it in class almost everyday.
Easy class if you pay attention and go to class. Nice guy. Need your textbook daily. Fair grader. Give extra credit on the day before vacation if your one of the few to show up.
If you come to class and pay attention, the class is a breeze. Really easy to understand, has no problem helping you if you are stuck or don't understand something. Total sweet heart. Really enjoyed this class and the professor!
Really great professor! I had previosly taken a stats class in the past that I ended up withdrawing from because I was failing. I was scared to take this course because of how hard it had been, but he explained everything in a way so that I understood it very well. He is an awesome teacher
I HATE MATH and absolutely SUCK at it but i love this professor. He is very clear with his teaching. Im so thankful I had him for math 311 otherwise I would have no chance of passing. I would definately recommand him for any math course. aside from the fact he has great teaching skills Hes funny and hes such a sweetheart.
I was scared to take this class b/c I didnt think I would do good in it AT ALL, but this professor is THE BEST! He goes over anything you want step by step. I HIGHLY recommend this professor especially if you arent really good at math.
very helpful. takes care of his students.
He is helpful teacher.
Mr.S is a great professor and is all about making sure YOU AS HIS STUDENT understands the material.(and not leave any student behind.) He doesn't grade off of attendance, but you wont understand things if you skip. Take him if you need help with math. He takes it slow. There are 4 test and one was open book.He also does extra credit for poor grades
This Professor is amazing. I was nervous to take stats, but he made it super easy. If you have to take this class, take it with him!
The Professor was very helpful and willing to give you a chance to bring your grade up.
Professor Schwiegerling is a wonderful professor. His pedagogy inspires students to learn math. Math 311 is not an easy course, but Professor Schwiegerling helps motivate students' learning interest.
I had professor Schweigerling for Math 311 which is Statistic. He made the course easy and when it wasn't he offered extra credit to raise you grade. this class is an easy one if you need to fulfill a requirement. I recommend taking it.
I think Professor S is great. He helps the students with their grades alot. Math has got to be my worse subject, but taking it with this professor has made it alot better for me. If there is any questions in which professor to take I would choose this one. The only concern I have is, what is my grade? Since there are so many makeups.GREAT PROFESSOR
Great professor, I am not good in math but he made learning statistics fairly easy. Definitely recommend him if you have to take stats!
He is a very helpful and friendly teacher. He goes to incredible lengths to make sure you do well and he takes as much time as is necessary to ensure you understand the material. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
He is very helpful and explains everything thoroughly. You really have to pay attention and put your mind to the class. And practice more at home. If your start slacking then you will be behind pretty much the rest of the semester. This is what happened to me so don't do it people. It's very easy and simple if you try your best. Good Luck Everyone!
He has alot of experience & is great at clarifying complicated topics. Beware, if you don't have a strong understanding of algebra then he will criticize and marvel at the fact you even made it to college. His favorite question is "how did you make it past 6th grade." He's pretty nice about going over problems an re-explaining them. A+ & snarky
I love Schwiegerling!!! He's so sweet and is very patient about the subject. He want his students to succeed and does his best to explain things so you can understand. He wants you to ask questions. If your taking any math course i recommend you take it with him. Just be careful because its very easy to lose track and fall behind.
Mr. Schwiegerling was a wonderful professor to have. After taking a year off from math I felt lost be he did an amazing job of getting me back on my feet. The class is not a walk in the park,it is challenging, but the satisfaction of getting a good grade on your test is well worth it! Thanks for a great semester!
Mr. Schwiegerling is an excellent instructor who explains Calculus slowly,using the large three Blackboards.He does not go fast. As a result whatever is taught in the class is understood very well. He does not give a hell of a lot of H.W. rather gives right amount of H.W. at each week. Whatever is done in the class is given for the Test.
Calculus is a difficult course but Schwiegerling makes it as easy and painless as possible. He's very helpful and passionate about math and teaching and is a very nice man. There is homework and group work every week which is very helpful. I would recommend him for any math class you might take.
Breaks topics down and makes things as easy to learn as possible. Highly recommend this professor. Wish i had him the first time i took this course. I went from an F to a B+
This was more than a Calc course. Words that describe him... Clear, Concise, Polite, Humorous, Appropriate, Genius, Understanding, MOST IMPORTANT he is the most fair Professor I have ever had, he treated everyone identical, from the annoying, to slow, to smart, to silly and obnocious. He was fair, and you'll be lucky to have him as a Professor.
Best Math Teacher i ever had. Very funny and extremely hopeful, no reason to get lower than a B in this class
One of the best professors I've had thus far. Very clear, helpful and fair. Not only a great teacher, but a great person. I highly recommend!
Great professor that has an amazing understanding of the subject. Made calculus far less painful then I had imagined it would be, and if I have the opportunity to I'll take him again in a higher level math class. Highly recommended.
Great professor that has an amazing understanding of the subject. Made calculus far less painful then I had imagined it would be, and if I have the opportunity to I'll take him again in a higher level math class. Highly recommended
grat professor. broke everything down. I would definitely recommend him to any major.
Best Math Professor I've had at Buff State so far. He breaks down the material so that it is easier to understand and encourages you to speak up if your confused. He is also always more than willing to help you.
Such an easy professor! You will literally have to TRY to fail this class. I took it over the summer, so it was only 4 weeks long, but even then, we were almost always let out early. Explains topics extremely well! Very recommended for non-math and math majors alike!
Mr. S is the best professor I've had. He explains the material very well and will make sure to address any confusion in the classroom. He really cares about all of his students and is a fun professor, making this course extremely entertaining.
He's a great teacher and a very nice man that is more than willing to help.
He is a fantastic teacher--you can tell that he really loves what he is teaching. This was a summer class, so i'm sure it was more low key than a semester course, but irregardless, this was the best math class i've taken in college. Thanks for taking the time to show us some really interesting things--I know we all appreciated it.
I took this class over the summer and at first I was very nervous because I heard it was a very difficult class. But I learned so much from this class and he was very helpful with all assignments. It was very low key and we did a lot of group work, which helped me to understand other parts of the course. I highly recommend him.
Great professor. Material is moderately difficult but he does a great job explains it. If you have a question, he will stop mid-lesson to answer it. He also allows for make-up tests if you struggle on the test. You would be foolish to not take this professor.
With the expectations of Statistics being a difficult class,I surprisingly enjoyed this course after taking it with this enthusiastic professor.He is extremely helpful and wants you to succeed.I truly enjoyed going to class. As long as you do the work and attend class regularly you should excel and receive the grade you deserve. He is awesome!!
This class was great!Mr.S made it super easy to become interested.He anwsers any and all questions and makes sure that you fully understand before he moves on.Attendance is not taken, but is a must if you want to do good in the class.Tests are straight forward and homework is given to practice weekly problems.Would highly reccomend for Math 311!
Great professor. definitely take statistics with him and you will enjoy the semester
Good teacher, is able to explain and help with any questions you have.
Great guy! Funny.... Makes sure you understand the material before he moves on... Just come to class and you will do fine...
You can get away with out buying the textbook as long as you know some who has it.
Excellent professor, will take the time to help you with any math problem that you have. If you at least try, the professor will help you, but you must try to do the work!
This man is tha man! Just come to class. If you do bad on a test you can do corrections (only get up too class average) he explains things very well and easy to talk to
Not a bad guy, went a little slower then I needed but I could see how it would be helpful if you didn't understand the material. All around good class and I would recommend taking him.
very good math teacher
Good teacher. He will help you until you understand. Class isn't mandatory but if you don't go you won't know!! Plus, you will miss extra credit assignments that can help your grade. Recommended.
Excellent teacher! Very thorough in material. Considerate of students needs, and very helpful with any questions. Also offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. Strongly recommend!
Professor Schwiegerling, truly is an educator. He demonstrates the highest level of passion, for the material that he teaches. Class material is presented clearly, which makes it easy to understand. It is apparent through his teaching, that he is genuinely concerned about students, and goes above and beyond to help. I would highly recommend him!!!
Highly recommend him for statistics! Very clear and easy to understand
I would recommend him!! Try your best and he will work with you! You can sound stupid asking questions but that's life!! If you study and don't miss class you can get a for sure A.... He is not your grandfather..he is there to teach and that's it... LOVE the MAN!!!
I do not like math classes and if I took this with anyone else I probably would have failed. That being said, he is an amazing teacher and I would recommend anyone to take his class. Attendance really wasn't mandatory but in order to get a good grade you have to show up to learn the material. He would also give us problems to get extra credit.
I am a math minor pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering so obviously i need calculus. This professor right here made it so easy for me to grasp the material and bring it into real life scenarios ( "Calculus used in real life?! how?" ) he takes his time going through the material and he helps you out when test time comes around. The Best
Great professor. Course is very hard however. Will always help you before, after and during class. Very clear cut in his instructionslecturers. Also funny which is need when taking calculus. Come to class. Once you fall behind, hard to catch up. Get tutoring on campus as well, it can really help.
Very straight forward with the course, test are very easy as long as you come to class and do your homework. Everything he reviews are on the tests there are no surprises. Very helpful and thorough
Was never good at math but he helped me understand.
Extremely fair. The class is best suited for those who do not have a strong background in math, as he simplifies information in a way that anyone can understand. Amazing guy, amazing teacher. The UPDATED textbook is necessary, as homework and practice questions are different than in the older versions.
One of the best teachers I've ever had! Made sure I had him again next semester. Very nice and easy to talk to. stayed after class if you had questions. I've never really liked calc but he made it some what enjoyable, I stayed interested. Over all great teacher.
I have taken classes with this professor before and once i saw he taught MAT 311 i was excited! I love his teaching style, he make sure everyone knows whats going on and the tests are to no surprise. There is HW but he never collects it, just goes over it. If you pay attention in class this class is an easy A!
Great professor, very clear with what he expects and a fair grader. Show up and do the homework and you should have no problem getting an A. Definitely would take another class with him!
Great teacher very helpful
Very easy to follow, very funny, just an overall good guy and great teacher. Very understanding if you have a problem. Definitely helped me out when I needed extra assistance. If I went back to school next semester, I'd take another class of his.
All around a great teacher. I think a must have for classes. If only they could all be like Paul everything would be easier.
Great professor I would recommend anyone to take this course with him.
He is a REALLY GREAT TEACHER! I loved his class. He takes his time to make a student understand and he makes you feel comfortable enough to ask a question. He tells silly jokes but they are funny. He doesn't take attendance, HOWEVER, if you miss classes, you will not pass the test! He grades by 3 tests and a final. I left with an A in his mat311
He is an awesome teacher. Makes calculus seems like basic math. He really breaks everything down for you, I would recommend to any that needs a math class and do not understand it.
Very nice teacher. Very funny.. But calculus is hard as always
I am terrible at math and I was really nervous about this semester having to take this course. He is a great professor and helps his students understand the material. VERY helpful. Best math teacher I've ever had! Do not skip class though, you will be lost.
test are not so bad, he goes over anything you don't understand. Not a boring math teacher like most! Actually one of my favorite classes i taken. Homework he gives but doesn't not collect he uses it as a study guided. I would recommend everyone to take him.
Great Professor. Helps as much as possible. Hw isn't collected but doing them is essential to passing; whatever hw he gives is whats going to be on the tests. And make sure to actually do the work. But if you have any questions, he'll do his best to answer them. And he tries his best so you can pass.
Very clear and helpful
A great professor, wouldn't have been able to pass calculus with any one else. Go to class everyday and you will be fine.
Great Professor hands down. Do remember this is Calculus 2 and the course material is challenging so studying is a MUST!! Prof. S does his best to break down the material so that we all can have a better understanding. He's easy to talk to. Don't miss class we learn new material every class. Just grind it out and he will provide his time for you.
great professor! He is old, but definitely doesn't act his age at all. He is sharp and knows so much. Class is easy, 3 tests and a final ( not cumulative). He assigns homework, but doesn't ever check it so its basically up to you to if you want to do it or not. Is helpful, but encourages students to go to tutor not him for help. Textbook needed
expect 7-10 question tests that are challenging but as long as you take the notes and equations he writes down you will get a b or better
GREAT professor. Easy to understand and is very helpful. Most likely if you skip class you will not pass, however he does not take attendance. Definitely take with this professor.
He teaches all the material in the clearest way possible and does a lot of examples which really help me understand. Tests are easy, homework isn't for a grade but everyone still does it because you go over it in class. Definitely take this class, you learn alot and it's not even hard.
Very caring Professor, there to help you learn his material . Not out to fail you, wants you to understand why and enjoy your experience.
cares about the material and students. you do the work you'll get the grade you deserve. TOTALLY Recommend this Professor !!!!!!!
I haven't taken a math course in years so as you can imagine I was terrified knowing I needed this class. I am thankful I found this Professor and would recommend him to anyone! Please, if you struggle with math like I do, take him! Although he doesn't collect homework, it's In your best interest to do it! Professor Schwiegerling, you're a God sent
Overall a great teacher to have. The type of teacher that everyone wants. He does challenge you but that's to make sure you know what you're doing. If he taught any other classes that I needed I would be getting in his classes.
Prof Schwiegerling was so helpful to all of his students this semester. I've always hated math and have never had a good experience in any math course. I reccomend taking his class because he is very pleasant and really helps you to understand the material. It was hard to me and I struggled but he helped me when I needed it and I am so grateful.
GREAT PROFESSOR! I HAD TO TAKE CALC 2 TWO TIMES. THANKS PROFESSOR S. I PASSED THE SECOND TIME AROUND. NOT OUT TO FAIL YOU. WORKS WITH HIS STUDENTS. DO THE HOMEWORK ( EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT GRADED OR COLLECTED) , AND COME TO CLASS , YOU WILL BE FINE .
Hard course but as long as you show up and try your hardest you can pass. Ask as many questions as you want, he will answer them all. He wants you to understand so you can stop him to ask whatever you want.
He is clear, organized, and easy. He only has 3 tests and 3 homework assignments, so not many grades. That means you have to do good on them. Overall a fantastic teacher.
He is a really great teacher. I went on vacation and missed three classes and he told me to bring him a candy bar and made the test a week after I came back so I could catch up. You could ask the same question six times and he'll explain it in great detail each time. When other math teachers aren't helpful he is. Would take any class with him again
One of the top 5 best professor here at buff state(if there is a top 5) . You can learn a lot in so little time. If you don't go to class, how will you know? But he lets you know! He will explain one thing over and over until you get it. take the class!
Great at what he does. He's very clear and concise, if you come to class you will most definitely pass the class. Always goes over what's on his tests and he has a sense of humor. If you don't come, you will definitely fail - he goes through a section/2 every class, as long as you follow along you'll have no problem. I would take class w/him again.
He is a great teacher and is always there to help. If you study you will do great. He teaches material and then moves onto another topic so make sure you are reviewing before you take the test because he moves on quickly. Always bring your calculator.
Tests are difficult , but you won't find any surprises . He does an excellent lecture and walks you through examples and won't let anyone get left behind . Great teacher A+ highly recommended . He also has two degrees in mechanical engineering making him rather well rounded compared to other teachers in the math program at buffalo state.
Really great professor. He is very clear when explaining new material, and extremely willing to help students (as long as you show up to class and do your work).
Very well rounded professor, but you definitely have to work hard in his class to receive do well on tests. But quite honestly that's how its should be. As long as you pay attention, come to class and participate you will do well.
Professor Schwiegerling was one of the best math professors that I have had so far at Buff State. He was very clear in his explanations of the material and was more than happy to answer any questions from students. The homework was not collected or graded but you definitely need to complete it to keep up in class. I would definitely take him again.
Professor S is the Man. I had him for MAT127 also. His teaching techniques are hands down the BEST. His exams are straight forward! Exactly what you learnt in class (Unlike other professor's). He will slow class down so that EVERYONE is on board. He really wants everyone to pass once your giving effort. If you need more help just ask him.
Easy A, if you don't plan on practicing alone you might as well not take this class, goes over everything with everyone. The whole class could have gotten an A
One of the best Math teachers I've ever had will explain math problems clearly, however for the tests make sure you study your head off or you won't pass
One of the best Math teachers I've ever had
Great Math teacher. Helpful and also really dumbs down the lectures, in a good way. Go to class bc everything builds off each other. Not cumulative. Gives HW but doesn't check it, it helps for review. only 4 test. Very nice guy
Great professor. Really easy going and nice. Would definitely take another class with him.
Very polite, easy to understand
He is great! Even though going to class was necessary (though he doesn't take attendance) to pass he made it enjoyable and went over everything we needed to know for the exams. I'm so bad at math and I got an A and you can too with Prof. Schwiegerling!
Explains things very well
Show up to class and you wont fail.
He is a great teacher, kind & very helpful. He knows his stuff & explains things very well and is very straightforward. One thing that bothered me, there were only 3 exams (incl. the final) & if you did poorly there was little chance for redemption. Very little homework & no extra credit. But I'd take him all over again!
I love this teacher he was funny and he made the class fun. Make sure you study !!!
Really good teacher who cares about how well you do and wants to help you understand it. Test are hard but he does review the class before. Only 3 homework assignments all year but they're like 25 questions each
He was clear and went over every thing we needed to know for the test. It willing to help just have to ask. He's such a sweetheart because he really does care. Also, easy grader. Some of my test answers should have been wrong but he gave it to me bc I had most of it. Loved him. 3 tests, but his words on tests will make u confused, only downfall
I had this professor for calculus 1 and 2 and he is by far the best math professor at Buffalo State College. Please take him, he makes you work but it's for the best
He's Awesome! Breaks it down for you to actually learn the material
You are manly graded on exams so study for them but this is an easy class if you pay attention and actually try. Participating is a good idea too.
Really nice professor, if you dislike math take it with this professor trust me. This should have been a hard class but he made it really easy, cares for his students. Will even help you to a certain degree while you're taking the test, very easy going.
Professor S. is by far the best professor I have had at Buffalo State. He is incredibly intelligent but makes MAT311- which is a stats class, very understandable and enjoyable. He gives clear notes and always makes sure everyone understands what he is teaching. He is Buffalo State's hidden gem- he's hilarious and a great educator.
Great Professor, had him for calc 2 and did very well in his class. Which made me happy because I had gotten a C in calc 1 from professor I didn't like very much. Makes things easy to understand and is willing to go over anything
Mr. Schwiegerling is fair, friendly, and easygoing. He leaves it up to you to ask questions if you are lost. If you don't ask questions, he can't help you. His tests directly cover the material presented in class. If you don't come to class, it would be easy to get behind. He is approachable, and makes the material interesting and accessible.
Had him for Stats and Calc 2. One of my favorite professors at the school!
I'm not the best in math, but I eventually got the hang of it. Professor was willing to work with me and help me use my resources on campus to succeed. However the course is kind of fast paced.
Honestly one of my most favorite professors. He was so Helpful and the tests were fair. Funny and nice, always polite.
Very good and helpful professor. He teaches in a way to make it easy to understand and he is always willing to help and answer questions. You really have to pay attention in class though otherwise you will fall behind quickly. Homework is not graded but you have to do it otherwise you won't know how to do anything. Grade is based on 4 tests.
Professor Schwiegerling is an amazing professor. His lectures are very straight forward and follow the textbook nicely so if you need more practice its easy to find. His tests are easy if you practice, this is the type of class you have to actually study for which is how it should be! GO TO CLASS, it's so disrespectful to skip!
The best professor on Buffalo Sate Campus!
AMAZING!! I cant say enough great things about him.
Sweet and nice. Always willing to help. Do the homework assignments and you will get an A.
Attendance isn't mandatory but if you miss a class it is easy to get lost. He does everything slowly and makes sure you understand it before he lets you go and start doing the problems by yourself. Would take him again.
he is a very good professor, I would recommend him to anyone that needs to take calculus. his exams are baes on the class work. so if you miss class you won't pass.
Gives a reasonable amount of homework, but does not grade it; it is used solely to ensure the students understand the material and will be more successful on the tests. Steadily paced teaching with clear instructions and descriptions of concepts. Lots of example problems in class to assure full comprehension. Exam is non-cumulative!
If you are going to take any math class, this class is it! He teaches Intro to Probability and Statistics (Math 311). Professor Schwiegerling makes the topics very easy to understand and takes time making sure you know it. Best Math instructor I have ever had! Gives review questions for test, do them and you'll do well. Very understanding.
Exceptional Knowledge
Very knowledgeable Professor, he is very helpful. If you ask questions he will go out of his way to answer them. If you miss class it will be easy to get lost. The course it self is very straightforward, you have to study a lot on your own time. It is also wise to visit the tutoring center after classes.
One of the best professors I have chosen this semester. He made the idea of statistics very likable for me, my only issue is that his grading criteria is very confusing. Other than that, this professor is worth taking.
Professor Schwiegerling was very knowledgeable about the topics he covered. Before he goes on he asks if anyone needs help and makes sure everyone is understanding the material. You definitely have to come to class if not youll be lost.
Professor Schwiegerling was fun! He is hilarious and clearly very knowledgeable. You definitely do need to show up to class to know what is going on! My favorite part was that the lessons were very easy to follow simply done on a white board with very organized work and exceptionally neat handwriting. He answers all questions thoroughly.
Super easy class. The last test he let you have a cheat sheet, so it was an easy hundred. Textbook used often in class, lots of homework but ungraded. Nice teacher, very willing to help.
This was one of the best teachers I ever had. One of a few who inspired me to switch to teaching. He made what could be difficult material easy for everyone to understand. He would slow down when needed, but never punished people who were ahead and might skip review or leave early. Professor S made math into art.
Professor S. was the best math teacher I've ever had. He was awesome! He helped me understand everything and walked me through things that I struggled with. I would definitely take his class again in the future.
By far one of the best math professors I've ever had. He makes subjects that could be difficult to understand so easy. Not only that but he lets you make test corrections. Highly recommend this professor.
he's a great teacher but he's super passive-aggressive for no reason. if you can deal with that then take him.
Professor Schwiegerling was the best Professor Ive had at Buffalo State and probably the best Ive had in my entire educational career. He is so willing to help with any questions you have and makes you feel important. I struggled in the class but his generosity for his students made it all worth it. He will do anything to help you succeed!!!!
