Quite possibly the worst teacher I have had throughout time since I was in kindergarden. She will make a potentialy easy course like "Introduction To Computers" seem as hard as Calculus 2. She is rarely satisified with quality work.
Not too bad

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE WITH HER YOU WILL REGRET IT!! makes you do ten times more work than any class i have had a Farm. Take MIS with Bojack if you have a choice.
Never had her for a prof but have stood outside her classes. Seems like a very bitter lady. Very demanding and never satisfied. I've had adult education students (who generally seem to be on the ball; atleast more so than younger students) tell me to avoid her like the plague. I have. Thank God!
Assigns more work than you do in other classes alltogether. Never satisfied with quality of your work. Always makes things much harder than they are. Unhelpful. You cannot reason with her. Besides, she's really annoying: makes stupid sounds, remarks and poses. I strongly suggest to avoid her.
Very hard to work with, looks for the things you do wrong, rather than the good! Avoid her if possible!
SUCKS SUCK SUCKS .. TOO MUCH WORK.. ALL the TEST HAVE CHOICES OF ALL OF THE ABOVE OR NONE OF THE ABOVE.. THINKS THE CLASS REVOLVES AROUND ONLY HER CLASS
No Comments
ACHTUNG Frau Schoenacher! Diz iz NOT Nazi Germany! Ve are students... not robots. Schoenacher is the worst teacher since the dawn of time! Avoid her if you can.
The class is not that bad if you do your work..DO the homeworks and the group bproject and you will be OK..Don't worry about the test gardes that much because the other work will bring it up..Particpate, do the HW, do the group work and the class is cake!!!..
I would rather stick my head in battery acid then to ever sit in her class again. If you like to do 6 hours of homework a day, this is the class for you. Don't think to ask a question because she will make you feel dumb right in the middle of class. If you are taking her my prayers are with you.
Do not take this class with her WAY TO MUCH WORK! YOUR SEMESTER WILL BE RUINED BELIEVE ME! Seriosly find a different professor. I am just looking out my whole semester sucked because of her! I busted my ass and she gave me a bad grade. I hate this lady!
She is tough and very picky. Follow instructions ***EXACTLY*** and you'll be fine. If she says use competitive forces model you better have the exact headings in the exact order. The content of your comments doesn't seem to have as much effect on your grade as long as it's somewhat relevant.
This class, like ANY other class, if you do your homework and participate you'll do fine. I took 4 classes with her and had no problems. If you don't like to study and learn, just take an easy class.
Also took 303, 350. She is a very good teacher but also very hard. ive taken her one class every semester. She definately teaches you alot but you have to be willing to do alot of work. Alothough all the work Her class is where i learned the most. Be prepared to work hard for your grade but learn!!
Problem with Research Paper. She was very casual and general about topic, but after I received a B, she elaborated on what the topic was about. I argued that her original instruction was general, and her followup was more detailed. She said I didn't understand. Most level-headed instructors would know when they are wrong, but not this Nazi. Avoid!!
If you miss deadlines by 1 minute you receive a zero.I was taking a class online and working full-time, and because of an emergency at work could not complete the assignment by midnight. Zero tolerance doesn't work in the classroom. I take online classes to learn the subject, not what a deadline is. Teachers like this are bad for the institution!
I was taught; "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all."----- Get the point?... What a bad experience this was.
This professor is horrible!! There is tons of work and if you have no life take her class.. especially the online one because you will be online for literally 3 hrs every night doing vague assignments that you will probably get a "D" on. Change professors right away!!!
How many ways can a student say DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!! She is unclear and very picky. I learned very little from her class as I was too busy trying to do what I THOUGHT she MIGHT want in her many assignments.
tough, ugly, unfair
This was the worst professor ive had, and ive had some bad ones.. She is not the least bit considerate, and doesn't do a great job explaining the material. Gives tons of work, as if her class was your only priority.
She assigns ALOT of work to do, also a group project. Offers some extra credit if you ask. It was alot of work, but I got an A
She assigns ALOT of work to do, also a group project. Offers some extra credit if you ask. It was alot of work, but I got an A even though I didn't do all that well on the exams. DO THE WORK, and SHOW UP TO EVERY CLASS!! She doesn't accept ANY late work though.

She is very unhelpful, rude, and unclear in regards to material, give a lot of work, grades most students harshly, enjoy reducing students GPA's. She’s by far the worst professor in Farmingdale. Future students, please stay away.
After seeing all these negitive comments about thie hoe, I dunno If I wanna take this class. But I need to. And unfortunetly shes the only one teaching this class this semester
The class (online) was tough, but I learned a lot. There is a lot of work given, two papaers, case studies (group project), discussions, but all in all, I enjoyed the class. She took a different approach than the usual teaching style, making the students teach the class, while she supervised.
Why is she still Teaching? oh ten year!!! She's must be one of the worst top 10 professors around.
Worst. Professor. Ever. Seriously, I have never hated a professor more in my life. Gives wayyyy too much work and tests are next to impossible. Shes rude, boring and cant teach her way out of a paper bag. If you have to take BCS 301 you cant avoid her because shes the only one teaching it, good luck.
shes a ass ugly **** professor. she loves to lower students GPA. i guess that her goal, am not playing with u guys. she is the worse professor I have ever seen. God bless us and take her to the hell. Plus her face looks like a dirty**** that was ****ed by 3 big sausages! DO NOT TAKE HER!!! Next semester, another teacher is teaching this class!!
**** you, **** you, **** you, **** you, **** you, **** you, **** you, and **** you
HORRRRRIBLE! WORST TEACHER EVER! SHE MADE MY EXPERIENCE HERE AT FARMINGDALE A BAD ONE! MAKE SURE U DO NOT GET HER! IF YOU DO, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DROP OUT.
How the hell did she get a job teaching at Farmingdale? Either Farmingdale doesn't follow up on their professors or she works for free and that's why she still holds her position there. TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! If you never attended any stress management therapy, just pick her as a teacher and that will change. She is TERRIBLE...
She's useless in everyway possible. Assigns too much work in order to enhance her image and make the students look stupid. I am not happy with her performance. Take the same course with another professor if you must. But in my opinion....AVOID HER AT ALL COST!!! She cannot be trusted on any campus anywhere
Get ready to give your life away, you will spend all of your time doing assignments for her. Assigns a LOT, and i mean A LOT!!!! of work. she grades unreasonably taking points off for things that are not even required as per her specifications. Not very helpful and very hard overall. Teaches right off PowerPoint and tests are near impossible. Lot o
I wonder if the college has the guts to fire here right now. She is not a good professor and the amount of work she assigns is too much. Take this class with any professor and not her. I am not happy with her attitude nor her teaching skills.
without doubt has to be the hardest/worst class i have taken at farmingdale in my three years. believes her class is your 1st priority in life. assigns loads of work all at the same and expects it to be perfection. half my class dropped out by mid-semester. she appartently has NO life whatsoever & needs to be shipped to some isolated island ASAP!
THIS TEACHER SUCKS SOOOOOO BAD!!! AVOID THIS OLD MISERABLE LADY. SHE ASSIGNS WAYYYYYY TOO MUCH WORK AND ON TOP OF THAT SHE IS A *ITCH. PERSONALLY I THINK THIS LADY HAS NO LIFE THATS WHY SHE ASSIGNS SO MUCH BECAUSE SHE NEEDS SOMETHING TO DO IN HER FREE TIME, WHICH IS GRADE PAPERS HARSHLY. I HAD SURGERY AND THIS STUPID *SS TEACHER WOULD NOT EVEN ACCE
THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER!! SHE ASSIGNS WAY TOO MUCH WORK. IF I SAW HER WALKING ACROSS THE STREET MY FIRST INSTINCT WOULD BE TO SPEED UP. SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO LIFE THATS SHE HAS SO MUCH TIME TO GRADE PAPERS.SHE IS A VERY UNHAPPY WOMEN.. SO SHE WANTS EVERYBODY ELSE TO BE UNHAPPY WITH HER.SHE CAN BURN IN HELL!
i've only been in her class for 2weeks & i CAN NOT stress enough that its THE worst class at Fdale. The workload is complete BS and i can honestly say i have learned absolutely NOTHING so far from her, thank god i bought the textbook. There is not enough space in this box to list all of my complaints about her. STAY AWAY - FAR AWAY !
You want to see a full drop out in that class? Choose her and everyone is going to drop. She assigns too much work to begin with. She thinks every student evolves around her. Some of my friends dropped her class in February and I am one of them. Take the course with another professor. She is terrible!!!!
She's really not as difficult or mean as everyone says. You just have to do your work on time and pay attention in class and you'll be fine.
Please stay far away from her class as possible!
I don't know what that person who said "She's really not as difficult or mean as everyone says. You just have to do your work on time and pay attention in class and you'll be fine." is talking about! THIS TEACHER IS THE WORST AT FDALE, DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR HER. That said, I had straight A's at Farmingdale until I unfortunately took her class!
WORST TEACHER EVER!!! SHE'S MEAN, ASSIGNS WAY TOO MUCH HOMEWORK. OVERALL JUST A HORRIBLE TEACHER!! AVOID THIS PROFESSOR!
All of these comments made me nervous about taking her class, but there was no avoiding it since it's the only section this fall. So far it's not bad at all! Just go to class, pay attention, do your work and you'll be fine. She's nice and is willing to help you. This is college, not HS!
vv that comment came from the professor vv
If you study and do your work the class is a bit tough but you can manage. Otherwise, her class isn't for you!
Worst Professor ever. This is the first class that I ever dropped. Stay away from her. Take her class only if you want a very low grade.
She is the worst professor that I ever had in this college. But the problem is If you are a Computer Programming major, you have to take her class. I did more assignments for this class than all my other class combined. She assigns a lot of home work assignments and the final project and assignments are worth 50% of the final grade.
Her class will either make or break you. She's pretty tough and assigns a lot of work. Just do what you need to do and try to stay on her good side and you should be ok.
I think I'm one of the very few people that got an A in her class! It's a lot of work (especially the final project) but you definitely learn a lot! Despite the horrendous reviews on here, she's really not that bad..
She's inflexible. She the type of person that would rat out her own mother if she caught her cheating. She treats people like she thinks she's better than them. She gives too much homework. She has no empathy for anyone and isn't understanding of others situations.
They don't call her Sheryl Sausageknocker for nothing. Farmingdale should be embarrassed for employing this nut. Sausageknocker is a miserable excuse for a teacher. You will do alot of work and learn nothing. On registration day remember the name Sausageknocker and choose Maurino instead.
hahaha...she definitely will try and knock yer sausage. Try and avoid this women even if she is dying in the road and your the only one that can help. Everything everyone wrote is the truth....sausageknocker...lol
She is horrible. Avoid taking her class if possible. You will want to drop out of school. Read all the bad reviews. They exist for a reason. 50+ bad reviews... 2nd most of all the professor in the school.
Luv her! She's soooooo nice and rly such a gr8 prof. Wish all prof at framingdale were liek her i learned so much from her class
She is the worst professor that i ever had. Don't take her class.
Rude and spiteful person. No one likes this woman...no one. If you do believe me take her class...to the downfall of your GPA.
worst teacher. I don't recommended anyone taking her, and all the good comments that might be written about her its probably the ones she wrote.
There is no help in her class, she talks if you dont understand your screwed. And the tests are ridiculous
Stay away from her. She is the worst. If you do not every little thing her way and hand in every thing on time then your done for. A computer teacher with a website that looks like it is from the 80s?
I personally think Farmingdale hired her not teach but to fail students. If you take any of her classes your bound to receive a low GRADE.... I strongly advise all students to beware of her classes, skip a semester if you need the credit. she'll kill your GPA and your confidence in respect to teaching in this Higher education field.
DO NOT TAKE HER!! she is a loser and has no life. she fails you on purpose. She waits until 11:59 until the assignment is due and removes the link. She gave me an F and I only missed 2 assignments out of the 20 she assigned. She is a lonely old woman with nothing else to do but give failing grades to students.
she has to be the worst teacher i have ever taken. she is rude, a hard grader, and wont want to hear anything you have to say.
Despite all these bad reviews, she's not a bad prof. Yes, she does assign a lot of work and can be demanding, but I've taken 3 classes with her and received an A in all of them. If you do your work and show you care you will have no problems.
How can you expect so much from students in an advanced web development class when your own webpage appears like it was made in the 1990s. Just when audio files became mainstream.
She is a very hard grader. Not understanding at all. Lowers your overall confidence. If you take her just expect to get a lower grade than you normally would. If you don't follow every direction word for word your grade will suffer dramatically and there's no argument, she does not care what you have to say.
avoid at all costs. When other students have a problem she merely brushes them aside, or says "look in the textbook". She will make a decision one class, and a week later reverse her decision (often forgetting about it in the first place) which HAS resulted in losing points on student's grades, all over a "miscommunication"
This teacher is to be avoided at all costs. Very rude, not very helpful or understanding. A hard grader. She is known as the hardest teacher in the BCS/CIS field at farmingdale. This does not just come from me but also many other students I have meant throughout the years ive attended FSU
I hate her. She basically tells the whole class their grades. There is no respect for peoples privacy. Don't hand in an assignment on time you will get a zero. Doesn't take anything late. Her syllabus is confusing its almost like its on purpose so you can do the wrong assignment.
She is the worst professor in the BCS department. Her instructions are incredibly vague often ending with "if you don't know what this is, look it up", in the actual syllabus. She does not use a rubric to grade assignments and grades very harshly. She takes more points off for format errors than content errors. Missed a line? -30 points. Must Avoid
I am writing this after completing an internship where I had to apply some of the things I learn in this class. And I was surprised by how clearly I remembered everything. A the time, Dr. Schoenacher's EXTREME number of homeworks didn't seem fair . But what you learn will stay with you in the long run and you will be glad that you took her class.
She told me I could separate my website into sections, when the day comes to present she changes her mind; says everything should be on ONE page (just like her website) stupid and conservative professor
Nothing to say that has not been said before
By far the worst professor I have ever encountered. Has no business teaching online. Syllabus is a mess. Directions unclear, then takes off 30 points for typing in a wrong cell. Meanwhile has typos all over her documentation. An utter joke that seems out to ruin your GPA. Only professor I have ever rated negatively.
Assignments Galore
One of the most unhelpful and unclear teacher I've ever had. Makes students use Microsoft Visio but refuses to teach it or provide any assistance. Gives graded homework on subject matter that she doesn't teach until after its due. Large group project that spans the semester but no complaints about that. Just a terribly unhelpful teacher overall
Requirements for grading are all over the place. She'll complain about a missing title in one assignment, yet let it go in another. Not to mention that including a title is redundant in most cases. It's a completely random experience. Maybe you'll get a good grade. Maybe you won't.
This professor does not grade whether or not your homework answers the question. She grades the work based on what she believes it should look like. If you make a grammatical error in the name of the file you submit, she will take off 10 points. Do not just follow the book, ask her repeatedly if your work is acceptable. Her way or the highway.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! IMPOSSIBLE to be so incompetent at your job and expect everyone around you to read your mind. Unclear and confused assignments and grading. She should have never been teaching, NEVER! Never take her. Never. I would give Zeroes if this website didn't require the 1 grade minimum.
This is one of if not the worst professor I have ever had. She is so vague in homework instructions and takes off points if you don't have included what she was looking for. She lets you know AFTER the assignment was due in class what she was looking for. I've never heard of a professor that grades homework so harshly. Absolutely terrible.
Horrible Horrible!!! Very bad grader. vague assignments that don't make any sense. Stay away!! She will make hate going to college.
Taken as an online summer course. HORRIBLE to navigate work and instructions. Assigns work everyday, literally 7 days a week, that is due the same night and gives a 0 if its late. Leaves no chance to email for help. Grades like an English teacher but doesn't comment about content. Proof read your work and stay on top of due dates or you'll fail!!
Horrible horrible horrible professor. She grades very tough, takes off chunks of points on your assignments for little mistakes. No clear deadlines of homework on blackboard so you better be on top of the assignments. I can honestly say she is the worst professor i have taken so far. She is not lenient what so ever. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!!!!!
Worst professor ive ever had before. Extremely unorganized with all her material. She is very vague in all her assignments, and you never really know what she is looking for. She grades however she wants, there is no rubric for any assignments. When you do ask for help, usually her response is "Well look it up". Avoid taking any of her classes.
No professor has ever made me want to drop out of college more than this poor excuse Farmingdale has for a professor. For an upper level class no less... She is a very nice person but she just really is not good at her job whatsoever, and Farmingdale should re-evaluate her. Or she should really reevaluate her entire way of teaching, grading, etc.
She has assignments due on things you'll never learn in class and grades them as if you've done it at some point in your past life. She lectures about topics of an information systems that you'll need to study for the exams. Tip, go to her office hours before submitting your assignments to get good grades. do not recommend, good luck
By the end of the semester, you will do hundreds of hours of homework assignments for this class only to be given a C+ if you're lucky. The grade you get is essentially whatever she feels like giving you at the time.
She's too harsh. Not lenient at all. You will cry and want to drop out if college just because of this one class. She's not flexible at all and it sucks because she is the ONLY ONE teaching BCS303 in Farmingdale university. She's not a good professor, doesn't give engaging lectures. Took this class twice and I honestly haven't learnt a thing.
Well, I made it one week in before deciding to drop. I've never seen an online class so dysfunctional in my life. Assignments due every two weeks, a group project without giving us an opportunity to talk to our peers, and strict grading when it comes to punctuation and spelling (in a technology class). Stay far away.
Literally the worst professor i have ever taken. I have never gotten less than an A in any class until i took her. I really don't understand why a professor would want her students to fail. She gives way too much work for an online class is the strictest grader. Do not take her whatever you do you'll regret it. Absolutely horrible!
So. much. work. but I learned a lot and she helps prepare you for the "real world" because she gives such as heavy work load and doesn't accept any late work. I know a lot of students have issues with her, but I always do my work and on time so I had no issues.
Not any sense with the way she grades. Handing out zeros for missing small parts of assignments. I don't understand how she hasn't changed anything after reading these reviews, she's awful. I don't know why I took her for a second semester. Maybe she'd be better with on site classes. Her online classes need to stop.
Dr. Schoenacher was much better than advertised. She gives a TON of work but if you stay on top of it you will be OK. She was fair in her grading contrary to the review I read. Her recorded lectures were good BUT she did not provide lectures on the last 2 chapters which were the most difficult of the course. Work hard and you will do well.
Avoid taking this Professor at all cost. I graduated from Farmingdale in 2014 and let me just say not only is she awful but the classes are going to be a waste of your time. Do not pursue the web development track at Farmingdale. The courses specifically the ones she teaches are not valid in the real world.
