He is by far the best math teacher I have had. He answered any questions someone had. He will slow down to make sure a student understands what he is teaching. He is hilarious and at the end of each test he gives 2 bonus questions, one being either your favorite movie or to tell him a joke. Be sure to do the homework and you will pass.

Professor Schellhous is extremely easy going and works with students' schedules, questions, and concerns. If math is something you do or don't enjoy, this teacher will make it bearable by cracking jokes and thoroughly explaining each problem or formula not out of obligation but with enthusiasm. First math professor I would truly recommend.

His Lectures are different because he teaches in front for a few minutes and then the rest is group work, but it works!

Schellhous is hands down one of the best professors I have ever had. For a 6 week summer calculus course, I was extremely impressed with how much information he was able to teach. Notecards on the test, online homework, cumulative final with a notecard, it doesn't get much better than that. His style of teaching is great, and he's pretty funny too!

Professor Schellhous was a great teacher. I actually took him for Math 63 (pre-stats) and liked it so much I took him for Statistics. I got an A in both his classes. You will do fine as long as you do the online homework and know the material on the quizzes (the quizzes are very easy, 1-3 questions). Math can be hard, but he made it understandable.

The absolute best math teacher I have ever had at vvc. He provided great lectures for the online class. He responded to emails very quickly and was able to throughly explain and clear any confusion about the homework. He is just overall very caring and really wants his students to understand his material.

Professor Schelhous is probably one of my favorite teachers I've had at VVC. He cares about you passing and further explains anything you might not understand. He is the definition of what a real teacher should be like. He is great and I am so thankful I was able to come across such a caring professor. Thank you so much Professor Schellhous!

Professor Schellous is a wonderful professor. He loves teaching and is very funny making the classroom feel very welcoming. It is consistent and easy to follow with most of the work being on canvas. As long as you do the work and use all the resources avaliable you will pass. There are difficult concepts but he does a great job of teaching it.

He gave many opportunities for students to understand the course material and to make up for late work. Online office hours were also available. He responded to my emails very quickly. He gave many materials so that the work could be done solely with what was provided with the weekly modules which made learning more efficient.

If he says that what you see in the practice exam is on the midterm exam, then he's not lying! His exams ALWAYS correlated with the lectures. I would say lecture attendance is mandatory because there are weekly quizzes he does on Kahoot and you'd be losing easy points if you don't go. Do the discussion boards! They're also easy points!

Professor Schellhous was fantastic! He is compassionate and makes his class enjoyable. He enjoys what he does and it shows. More people would go to college if more instructors were like him. Take his class!

There is average amount of homework, not overwhelming. The chapter assignments are the bulk of your grade, there is also simple discussions, and a midterm and final. There's homework lectures, for visual learners. I am not good at math at all but he's such a good teacher that I pass with an "A", make sure you take notes of the questions your doing.

Professor Schellhous is an amazing professor! If you need to take Stats, have him as your professor, his videos are really really helpful, and he gives you a practice midterm so that you can have time to review before the actual midterm. Also for the final, he gives you a practice one first. He deserves more than 5 stars!

Schellhous is a great teacher! He purposely makes homeworks and lectures more difficult than the quizzes and exams. I appreciate that he moved office hours to the math success center for extra help if needed.

Professor Thomas really is a good instructor, I'm not good at math at all but the lectures and the walking us through step by step really helped me be successful in this class, the practice test are just like the mid-term and final exam, if you really practice with those and study them, the actual exams will be cake. Can't go wrong with Prof Thomas

This professor makes complex math easy to understand through clear, YouTube-style video lectures. He breaks down each topic step by step, explains how to use a statistical calculator, and focuses on why concepts matter. His approach builds confidence and helps students truly grasp the ideas behind the math.

He is the best professor that I have EVER had at VVC. Calc is notoriously a tough subject, and he always made it super easy to understand. He is super caring and funny, helps to lighten up your mood during early mornings. I wish all faculty were like him. He deserves only the best!!!

I was able to ace his statistics class with no problem. Only had a discussion and 2 assignments/week. There is no reason you cant get 100% on assignments, he allows multiple attempts. Midterm & final were not too bad he allowed 2 attempts/question. Not proctored & all lectures on YouTube. Gives late passes when needed. Overall, great professor.

Actually took Calc2 but amazing teacher, funny guy, great notes he prints out for lectures. Always willing to help. Lots of quizzes but they're small. Tests are easy if you study the material. Final has questions from previous tests, homework was online this semester *thank u pearson*. Grades exams w/minute detail but great feedback if you need it.

I was going into stats with FEAR cause I HATE math. But Professor Schellhous was the most easy and amazing professor I could've taken for stats. I also took the coreq and the workload was still very light and easy. I did well on my midterm and he congratulated me privately and I appreciated that because many professors wont take time to do that.

No textbooks were required for his course, which I loved. His lectures were on YouTube and easy to follow. He provided practice exams that were exactly like the midterm and final. There are so many more positive things I could say. However, I don't have enough characters. I would take him for Math 105 if I could.

Wonderful Professor! Always assures students it is okay to receive help from him. Lectures are clear and understanding making the homework a lot easier to do even if math isnt your thing. Homework problems can be redone as many times and late passes are available making it easy to get an A. 100% Recommend having him as a professor :D

Took his statistics class! Professor Schellous is more than generous when it comes to the hw and grading. He uses an online platform where you have almost unlimited attempts to get the problems correct. The only exams he requires are the midterm and final exam.

Dr. Schellhous is a phenomenal instructor! Please take his class. He's great at lecturing the material and responds nicely to questions. He is available often, so don't be afraid to reach out for help when you need it. Plus if you make it to Finals week (which you will), he brings donuts for the class!

Highly recommend this class for Stats. I'm not a big "numbers" person but this instructor does a great job of breaking the material down and making it accessible. He gives you all the tools you need to do well as long as you put in a reasonable amount of effort. Practice exams are also extremely helpful, do not skip those!

Schellhaus is an amazing professor he was able to take the advanced concepts of calc 2 and explain them in a way that was SUPER easy to understand. He also provides typed out lecture notes that he hands out to the whole class so it's easy to follow along during the lectures. He also lets us use cheat sheets on our exams. 100% recommend taking him!

While Calc 2 is known for being difficult, Professor Schellhous broke everything down and made it super simple. If you have a chance to take him, do it! He does assign a good amount of homework but it's because he wants you to practice and really understand the material. Exams are almost like the study guides he gives out. Also, don't cheat!!
