knowledgeble, applicable material, this is the teacher to take.
nice teacher
Professor BOB is very fun and creates a fun learning environment....He cares about his students
BOB is great...funny funny man....everyone is encouraged to take his class. You will regret it if you don't!!! GOOOOOOOOOOO BOB!
Bob is great! I failed psych with an awful teacher- and got an A in his class! Take this-- it is mainly take home and open book tests!
this guy is so far out, i walked in on the last day of class and he asked me why i was late and i told him that i was hung over and he offerd to get me a cup of coffe thats how awsome he is i think every one should take his class there first quarter if your reading this bob i miss u and thanks agian
HILARIOUS! I think he's the coolest dude. Easy class so far. I'm glad I have him as one of my teachers, it really lightens my workload. And you don't even have to go if you don't feel like it. Its great
This instructor is hilarious. He talks a lot of trash and often answers his cell phone in the middle of class. His quizes are easy and he allows students to make up work and improve their grade. He makes class intresting with his debates and entertaining with his one-liners. Oh yeah, did I mention that there is no final in his class.
This class was so easy! Both the midterm and final were take home! Awesome personality and very easy to talk to if you have questions! I would take a class by him again if I had to.
SERIOUSLY! I love Prof.BOB! He is amazing! Prof. bob i hope ur reading this b/c this class was sooo fun!!! and i loved being in it!! I seriosuly thought i was going to get a C for the class b/c i got a C on the test and b/c he liked me and i showed up for class i got an A! im soo happy! TAKE professor BOB He's soo funny! and sarcastic u'll love it!
Prof Bob made social psychology interesting. It ended up being mostly social with some psychology sprinkled throughout. I thought it was dumb for a while, but I ended up learning a lot. Take social psych w/Bob, you won't regret it, unless you can't take a joke.If you're all about lots of reading/hw don't take it,otherwise this is the class for you!
GREAT TEACHER! HE DESERVES AN 'A' IN TEACHING.
SCHIELF IS THE COOLEST!
Schilf or Die! By far the best instructor on staff at the College of DuPage. Funny, brilliant, and very informative. He's one righteous dude.
pROFESSOR bob CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS....ENJOYS TEACHING AND ALWAYS WILLING TO TALK AFTER CLASS HE MADE ME ENTHUSISTIC ABOUT SCHOOL...TAKE HIM
it was a really easy class...kinda weird at first, but hes a good guy
If you want to learn in this class-- read the book, because what Dr. Shilf taught during the whole semester could have been taught in the first hour. This man will waste class time repeating personal stories- over and ove again.. Yes, the class was easy...if that's all you want, then take him, but if you want to learn something, find another prof.
dry hummor! hes hillarious and friendly!
Thanks for helping out the class today. At times, I have a hard time consecrating due to test anxiety. Loved the blue sweater! And, I finally realized that you look like Eric Clapton. Your fellow Roman Catholic (half) Irish lady, Tina
Mr. Schilf is the best teacher ever. He has a tendency to drift off and start talking about his life or other crazy stuff. He is such a nice guy. I guarentee if you take this class, you wont regret it. I had him 3 sememsters ago and we still talk. Hes like a likeable kind of guy. You can talk to him about anything.. and i mean ANYTHING!!!!
This class was my blow off class for the semester. The class day before any quiz he gives out all the questions that will be on the quiz, basically you just have to look up the answer. I didn't learn anything in class. If you want to learn a lot, don't take his class. He chose favorites and talked to them the whole time.
awesome teacher...take him, specially if u needa boost ur GPA
EVERY SINGLE PERSON READING THIS SHOULD TAKE HIM. Consider yourself lucky to be taught by him. Easily one of the best teachers I ever had. I took his Psych 1100 2-2:50 and he was great. Very down-to-earth and intelligent. 9 20-question tests and that's it. No attendance, the "final" wasn't cumulative. Enroll early.
TAKE PROFESSOR BOB! I absolutely loved this class. He made lectures fun again, and his stories were hilarious. Easy tests, mostly take home. He usually lets you out early! :)
Dr. Schilf is the best funny teacher iever had in my life. If you want to pass the psych class so badly then take him or you'll missing something extremely good in your life. His class is extremely ultra easy A if you take note in class and study for the quiz. If you don't believe me go ahead take other teacher or you regret it.
I super extremely recommend Dr. Schilf. He is the the exremely best teacher all over cod. You will easily understand all those psych stuff in less than a day. There is something good will definely happen if you take this class. If you don't believe me then don't come cry to me later and say i didn't recommend him to all of you people.
Prpffessor BOB is amazing the coolest teacher. i leaned lots of thing and joke from him. you can talk to him about anything. If you take him i can gurantee you that you will like it nand not regret for taking his class. don't miss your chance for not taking him.
Horrible horrible teacher. If you have a disorder or know someone who does do not take it because he insults everyone and everything. Extremely closed-minded and rude.
Pathetic. RUDE. Doesn't exactly know the material.
The best teacher I have ever had!his attendance is not mandatory but if your not there to take the notes then you won't do well on the test bcuz he doesn't use the book. speaking of his tests, he gives you the "study guide" the day b4 which is the test ?s. Awesome teachers anybody that says they don't like him are the losers that can't take a joke.
DO NOT TAKE HIM. BEING A PSYCH MAJOR, A LOT OF WHAT HE TEACHES ISN'T FACTUAL. It's no surprise people who don't know psychology like him...but if you do, stay away.
I love how all these people say that what he teaches isn't factual. seriously, he works for the government. I think he knows a little bit about what hes talking about... by far, the best teacher I have ever had! really if you don't take his class, you WILL miss out!!!
Very Easy class. Funny guy and had fun teaching our class!
Dr. Schilf is AWESOME! If you are someone who takes things too personally, you might not like him, but he is funny and makes psych fun, not boring and overly technical. Definitely the kind of prof you can respect, and you can tell he actually cares underneath the sarcastic exterior. DO NOT pass up an opportunity to take his classes.
Down to earth good guy. 15 quizzes take good notes and study and you are good to go
Out of all the classes I have taken in the past year, he is my favorite so far. He teaches while using his life experiences. Easy class,easy studying and easy quizzes. Only one project due during the semester. If you read the book and take good notes from his power point presentations you will do great in this class. Don't miss out/great class!
He is a nice guy, but with his level of education he should know A LOT more. Sometimes his lectures very obviously contradicted the textbook. The keys for the tests were wrong sometimes too, and even he didn't know the correct answers. I suggest taking a different professor if you have a disorder, especially a personality disorder.
Horrible professor, I learned hardly anything in this class and everything I did learn was incredibly vague. The quizzes are ridiculous. They're almost like "trick" questions. His powerpoints have a horrible format and most of the things on the quizzes have nothing to do with the powerpoint notes.
Awesome professor! Class has a good mix of facts and stories to keep it interesting. Take your notes in class and take notes from the book and you will do well. This is my second class with this professor. I only took this because I knew he was teaching it. He's really a great guy who wants you to do well in his class and in life. Highly recommend
He is a great gut. he's very sarcastic but a lot of fun. I'm taking him right now and was struggling in his class I went to him for help and he's been very helpful and my grade is higher now. great guy I highly recommend him just listen in class and take notes. you'll be good if you do that.
Great, Great Individual, horrible class. He's smart and interesting, but he gets sidetracked so much. Says you won't need the txt book for test, LIE. Powerpoints are awful. He's a little too laid back. Almost seemed a waste of time to even show up to class sometimes...
He's a fun guy. Very sarcatic. You def have to take notes out of the book for quizzes. The quizes are kinda difficult. But if you show up for class he will help you put at the end. If you need help all you have to do is ask. I would take his class again
Definitely a very interesting class, and he's a great professor. Hilarious and will keep you entertained. He'll also apply the knowledge to real patients that he's worked with which is very interesting. You will have to put work in outside of class but his notes are helpful and so is attending the class.
I took this class at the start just to get the required class out of the way but I learned so much about myself from this class especially from the presentation at the end. The tests were fairly challenging but if you need help he is an easy person to talk to. Outstanding Prof Overall worth it to take his class and I would take it again if possible
I greatly enjoyed his class. He was a very knowledgeable teacher that taught with life experience rather than regurgitating information. Useful power points were used and had easy quizzes, provided you showed up for class. Final was either 25 words about yourself in PP form or an essay. Seriously a good class for those of you in need of the credit.
Dr.Schielf was seriously the BEST professor I've had at COD. He's hilarious, sarcastic, unique, kind-heart, and he helped me out a lot throughout the semester. Taught me to never give up. I was sad that his class ended. But anyways, you need to take notes in order to understand whats going on. Open notes for quizzes. Final=PIECE OF CAKE. TAKE HIM!!
One of the best teachers i have encountered at COD! He was straight forward and very helpful! He was also a lot of fun and down to earth. Wish he could teach all my psych classes!
Easily one of the best professors I've ever had. Knows how to engage his students and make you want to learn. Also very helpful. He was one of the big reasons I decided to change my major to psych. Highly recommend taking his class.
nice guy and interesting stories but the class itself was not very good. i didn't learn very much and i would feel uncomfortable taking a higher level class after this intro. tests and powerpoints were confusing because of poor organization/structure.
He was engaging and super funny! The quizzes were open-note and easy. However, his powerpoints were a bit unorganized, and his pace was a bit fast. He also got off track at times and just told stories for fun. But if you didn't copy all of the notes he could put it on a flashdrive if you bring one, and his stories were fun so it was cool.
He was a fun guy. His final is the last chapter of whatever you are learning. His tests are alright, but he does this project which you get many points out of so you can still manage to get a good grade, i got a high B.
He gives powerpoints and an easy grader. will make sure you get an a. take him he is cool
He's funny and knows a lot about psychology.
Do not take him if you take comments personally. He is not judgmental, he just has a different sense of humor and is very sarcastic but funny. I really enjoyed going to his classes. There is a quiz for each chapter which are not hard if you study the notes and read the book. You can ace the class by just reading the book. Would take him again
Schilf is the funniest teacher I have ever had. You have to be very open minded because he will say some stuff that one could consider offensive, but if you have a good sense of humor you will be perfectly fine! There are just quizzesafter every chapter, 1st two are open note and the final is a quiz! Super easy and a fun class to take!
Professor schilf is very laid back. Theres quizzes every week but when you take the quiz you get to go home right after. His lectures are kind of boring only because he never stops talking and he can get off topic but its still understandable. No final just a quiz and one paper. Very easy class.
Dr. Bob is awesome, he's a psychologist so he has very interesting personal stories to share with what your learning, super funny! He is super helpful if your not doing well on the quiz's, nearly impossible to fail, i would take him over and over again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Easily the best teacher at COD. He really cares about his students and wants them to pass. Will find time to help you if you ask for it. Proffessor Schilf is the man.
Dr. Bob is the nicest professor I have ever had. He looks for ways to help his students and Is willing to give his time before class to make sure everyone passes he is great. All you have to do is ask for help and he will meet with you. He offers study groups and makes the class fun and easy!! You will have to read the chapters but it's not too bad
My favorite teacher I've ever had. He creates intimate bonds with his students and incorporates humor and discussion to keep each class as engaging as possible. Many teachers can be mechanical in their approach to teaching he is far from it. His class was the highlight of my days. it's refreshing having a teacher with passion and humor every day.
Dr. schilf always made class interesting. He is hilarious, you definitely have to get used to his humor but once you figure it out, he's awesome! You have quizzes, but he goes over them with you before the test if you attend the study group.
Although he genuinely cares about the success of his students Professor Schilf is not skilled at instructing. His lectures account for less than 5% of whats on the test and this really hurt my grade early on. He says take notes and youll be fine, however this is not true. YOU MUST read the book and complete a few concept checks, then youll do ok
if you have a lot of work take this professor and get your easy A xD
Bob really takes the time to make the class easy. He makes sarcastic comments here and there so you really cant take him seriously. Since he has to be there, he at least wants people to participate. Loved him and the way he organized his class. Quizzes are super easy if you take notes.
This class was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. There are study groups that are at a specific time and if you don't go to them you don't pass. The tests are so specific that reading the book is pointless and even though he is funny, he doesn't really lecture on anything that's on the test. My major is psych and I had to teach myself.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Dr. Bob is a an amazing Prof. He is all about YOU attending class. He is caring and tries to help you with all the questions and has a very brilliant sense of humor. DON'T MISS ON PRACTICE SESSIONS BEFORE TEST.
Easy class, gives you the power-points that are used based off of the quizzes. Just show up to class, listen and make notes off the power-points and you are in good shape. Dr. Bob was a funny and respectable professor as well.
Hands down the best professor Ive ever had. Hes so funny and I always looked forward to going to class! He genuinely cares about every one of his students and if you want to do well you will.
Thought he was a great teacher. Always had examples to relate to what he was teaching which helped a lot. One of the easiest classes I ever took!
Hands down the funniest teacher I've ever had. Does review sessions right before the test to help you understand. If available take his class. He will always give you help either 1 on 1 or in a group as long as you ask and show him you want to do better. If you're doing bad and don't ask for help he won't give it to you.
I was always worried about taking a Psych class, but I'm glad I took it with Dr. Schilf. He has lots of experience and connects what we are learning, to personal experiences. Really helps you remember. He also does quiz review sessions (literally goes over the questions and answers). The only grades you get in his class are from the quizzes.
BEST TEACHER EVER !!! Take him for psychology and you will be very happy with this class he tells many interesting stories !
Easy class, the lecture are in power point and given to students, you may take some notes as you listing to the lecture, and not need so much studying because the prof. explains very well. Time is going pretty fast and it is not boring at all. Learning something new and interesting all the time. I definitely recommend this class.
The best professor I have had here at COD, 10/10 would recommend! His classes were fun, informative, and his lectures were easy to follow. I highly recommend Doctor Schilf
By far one of my favorite teachers. He definitely made lectures entertaining and brought real life scenarios and class interaction. Awesome teacher with a good attitude, very professional and cares about his students. Quiz for every Chapter but tells you what will be on the quiz. Quizlet will be very helpful for an A ! Easy A!
He was such an incredible and inspiring professor. I loved him and his class so much! People who give hate about his class didnt really care about it. Dont listen to them! Hes amazing!!! His stories always intertwined with our lectures and really helped with what we were learning!
The class is basically him lecturing you on the chapter and then he gives you a 25 question test. He has many stories from his time in the field that lead him to getting sidetracked during lectures. Big assignments was analyzing a movie and some sort of emotion web. Only downside was that he never checks his email or puts the grades on Blackboard.
Professor Schilf is an amazing professor who makes learning psychology so fun, even if it's not your favorite topic. It's very heavy in lectures and note taking, but he makes being in class very easy and engaging due to all of his jokes and interesting stories. He's very understanding and cares a lot about his students success.
His lectures are incredible with his experience in different environments/jobs. The quizzes can be difficult, but if you study and go to class you will do well.
Great teacher right here. Easy to listen to and explains things very well. Not too much homework but enough to get you to learn the materials. I had no tests at all just discussion papers and the final. I would highly recommend. Slow at grading things is the only negative I have to share!
Dr. Bob is probably one of my favorites this semester! He's a great educator, loved every lecture I was able to make! He's very knowledgeable in the field and will elaborate if need be. I hope I can take him again in the future!
I took Dr. Bobs online psychology 1100 class and hes one of the best psychology professors here at COD. His lectures were great! Lots of discussion question post but thats mainly what youre graded on. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you miss a lecture you will be a little lost. Otherwise great class, and you will be in good hands.
Easy A.
He is a very understanding and knowledgeable individual. He will take time out of his day to make sure that you understand the material he presents for the quizzes. My advice is that participating in class will ultimately help to have a higher grade.
The funniest professor I have ever had. He is very lecture heavy, and requires you to be in all of his classes because our assignments or based off of his lectures/power points other than that he is very well spoken and uses a lot of real world examples in his personal life to explain. Would 10/10 recommend if you want a funny & sarcastic teacher.
Wise, helpful, caring about his students. No hw, no final, no tests just come to class and take notes during lectures. Would have students give feedback to questions once in a while but answers are in power points. so chill!!
So caring about mental health, and learned so much from lectures. Would take it again for future psych classes.
No quizzes or tests. You get 3 questions you write 3 paragraphs about for each question and that's it. No midterms or finals. Take him for an easy A.
