Good Prof, always willing to help to find a way to solve the problem

Know your definitions, word for word!!!

Very intelligent but tests/quizes/labs/grading were not fair

labs are impossible, knows his stuff, nice guy

Math tests in essay format, be sure to know definitions, plug & chug unimportant

test's are not bad - labs are impossible - let's you use a cheat sheet

Dr. Schlicker is not a pushover, but you will learn in his class.

Good Teacher, math is tough, subject is tough. he is tough; but you will LEARN!

I don't understand why everyone says he is so bad. I found Dr. Schlicker to be very helpful and considerate. I learned alot in this class.

Steve was a hard prof, but he was good and he was very willing to help. I think he's great.

Steve lovesss definitions, so make sure you know them before quizzes and tests...umm had to work really hard to get my A-, was in his office prlly at least once a week and e-mailed him prlly like twice a week

This was definitely the hardest class I've taken in my academic career. If you're not up for the challenge, I'd consider taking a different prof, but I know I learned more with him than I probably would have without. It's a give and take situation.

Steve is a hard prof. He assigns lots of homework, but it's necessary for calc 3! He spends alot of time going over homework, and is willing to help. He expects that you know your stuff from calc 1 and 2, especially definitions. Take him if you're up for a challenge, and remember to always bring your model function that you will build!

Steve was pretty hard grader, however, his quizes were simple, be sure to look over the questions in the back of the syllabus before hand...he likes to put thoseon his tests and quizes. But beware of his maple labs, he grades super hard. One good thing about him is that he knows his stuff real well, so ask questions!!!

Great Professor. Posts everything on blackboard. Very easy to talk to outside of class, but only gives you just enough info and leaves you to figure out the rest. Get the solutions manual for the book, it was a huge help ($30). Labs are long, tedious, and extremely hard. He grades very hard on format and understanding with the labs.

Professor Schlicker is probably the best math prof. you could get at Grand Valley. Any one who says he doesn't provide much help is a joke. He is constantly available and goes out of his way to make sure you know what you're doing.You have to know definitions but its only to help you understand the extent of the material. Awesome guy, awesome prof

Very good professor. He's very clear on what he expects from students. He's difficult, but not so difficult that you have no hope. Also, he's very helpful, very open to students, and quite patient as well. In all, I would recommend him.

Very good teacher but very tough grader.

Prof. Schlicker is a great math teacher. He is always very helpful and willing to go over anything until it is clear. If you do your work and ask for help, you will do fine in the class. It does take work.

Schlicker is ALWAYS prepared for lectures and prepares immaculately typed notes explaining course material. Lectures are easy to follow and he can satisfactorily answer any question asked. Schlicker genuinely cares about how well his students understand the course and is readily available to help when needed.

Professor Schickler is one of the best professors I have had at Grand Valley. I've taken two courses with him. No, his classes are not easy. So don't take him if you want to coast through the class. If you don't understand something, ask, because he is able to explain the material in different ways that may help different people.

Professor Schlicker does a very good job of explaining the material. He puts far more emphasis on learning the definitions and concepts than doing actual problems. He expects a lot, but he tells you exactly what he expects of you. His Maple labs are not that bad. He lets you use Microsoft Word to type them up. You don't have to be a Maple expert.

Very hard. Extremely thorough. He expects Lots of effort from his students. This is a very hard class to do well in. It is possible, but very challenging. You will have to work very hard and must be thorough with every assignment, lab, and test you take. Very time consuming. Good, solid teacher but very hard. Strict grader on everything.

Dr. Schlicker is one of the nicest professors you will meet. Yes, he is difficult and sometimes picky, but it is for your own good, and it is really hard to hold a grudge against him. He will explain anything you need him to, over and over, and will never judge you. He honestly cares for all his students and wants to see them succeed.Wonderful guy!

Great guy. Stressful part was that he used his own textbook (but free,)but gives a lot of partial credit. Keep an extra set of notes with only the most important formulas and it will help a lot. The math labs SUCK and he is picky about the grammar for homework and write ups but overall good.

He's the bomb. He tries to make you figure out the answer without just telling you. However is always willing to help. Makes sure everyone is on the same pace but make sure to ask questions.

His group projects and hands-on approach to teaching math really help you to learn in depth. He expects an extremely accurate, highly detailed answer in all assignments, tests, and projects, but by demanding that level of answer, he really ensures that you learn the material inside and out.

Cares a lot about the wording of answers. Make sure to follow the writing guidelines for assignments and projects or you'll lose lots of points. Overall cares a lot about teaching, and is a pretty cool guy in class.

He's not a bad professor. He really cares about feedback and course evaluations and is getting better. However, he expects you to read the text and prepare yourself well before class. But hey that's college! If you don't prepare yourself well, then your grade will DEFINITELY reflect it. It'll take a bit to get used to it, but the class gets easier.

He definitely makes you work hard for your grade, but he is incredibly understanding. If you use his office hours and show him that you are trying, you will pass the class just fine. Get to know him, he is very resourceful!!

Schlicker WILL make you work hard for your grade, but he is there for every question you could possibly have.

I struggled in this class but he is the only reason I was able to pass because he was willing to understand and help when we were struggling. You're able to do a lot in partners as long as you both understand the material, which was a great set up for me and it's how I learn best. He also was super caring and always asked about us.

Professor Schlicker is boring, I'll admit it. There are times where he struggles to fully comprehend questions and he's sometimes a little off track from the lesson. However, this professor cares that you learn, and he will make sure that you're fully in understanding of what is expected of you. 100% would take again, made MTH 202 doable.

Great professor. Teaches effectively and is always available to to give help and feedback often. No tests/exams, final grade depended on your portfolio where you prove what you learned. Workload wasn't TOO heavy, but you definitely have to do the work. Short activities due at the start of nearly every class, a few full assignments and reflections.

Professor Schlicker was a great teacher. I had him for Math 124. You have no tests or quizzes. You do a reflection and resubmission for every assignment and Schliker gives feedback. Your final grade is based on a final portfolio you do and you get to choose what grade you think you deserve. He is very caring and wants to make sure everyone learns.

Absolutely amazing mathematician and inspirational teacher! If you don't plan to study math, he may not be for you, but as a math student I benefited greatly from his approach to the subject and his desire to inspire.
