Great teacher. Up to date topics

very cool guy and I really enjoy his lectures

Great up to date lectures. Always uses new info. Very helpful and understanding.

really nice and also helpful... a good and patient prof (even when people are being dumb). his lectures are very clear, but be prepared to talk during them. participation is very important to him.

Schroer thinks he is smarter than everyone else b/c he has a Ph.D. He can be nice, but he can also be very condescending. He is extremely anal when it comes to writing papers.

Great teacher, very helpful, obviously knows his stuff. Covers a huge amount of material, only real problem is he talks MUCH MUCH to fast to keep up with most of the time.

good, but talks to fast to even understand at times...

very interesting teacher. Has great taste in music and beer.

he does talk kind of fast, but he is a good teacher who tells some funny stores that ties to the subjects. nots are a little vague, but he elaborates on them to help out a lot. not a bad teacher at all.

I think he is a great teacher!! Interesting lectures! Patient and willing to help! However, be prepared to read the assigned text and take notes..tests are a little hard. You couldn't have a better teacher though!

He is an awesome professor. He has an interesting personality and very funny comments. The tests aren't too hard if you study your notes and read everything assigned. He's a great guy and he's very helpful. Take him if you can!

He may talk too fast but at least I can understand what he is trying to teach. His experiences are also very interesting. Sorry about the glasses prof.

Not an har hard class. Study and read for his test and you will do fine. His grading on the research paper was to strict.

Demanding, yes, but not impossible.

He talks very fast, but if you ask him to slow down he will. He seems very willing to answer any questions. His tests are not easy. Studying is required.

liked the class but he was a little dry.

I thought his class was easy if you put the time into doing the papers and studying for the test. The powerpoint presentation was very straight forward. He can easily be interrupted with a question you may have and answers it appropriately.

WOW!! i am shocked at the neg. comments! I love this professor. Took him 2 semesters in a row! HE IS HARD, BUT GOOD!!! Just study a decent amount of time for the test and you will do great. I recommend him if you don't mind studing a little bit!

You definately need to study for this class or else you'll do bad on the tests. He is more than willing to help if you ask. This class is hard if your not willing to study.

I absolutely love this professor. His class can be hard, so you can't be lazy, but if you have any questions he is very willing to help. He explains things very well. Study for tests.

Social Construction of Drugs is an awesome class but be warned!!! If you only are taking this class because you think drugs are cool forget it! All the tests are 100% essay, there's an 8 page paper and you have to give a presentation at the end of the semester. I would suggest this class for any sociology majors though. Great and interesting class

I took every class this guy taught, and never got bleow a B+. he is very hard, and expects you to work, but you will get out of his classes whatever you put into them. "Hate Crimes" was one of his best, he is a real expert on **** groups, etc.,

classes are pretty hard and tests are even harder, but if you pay attention, read, and study you'll do fine. Checks REALLY well for plagerism in assignments and papers so be extremely careful. His classes are very informative and if you're a soc major, you'll probably end up taking at least one of his classes.

I took Juv. Delinq., Social Construction of Drugs, and Criminology. Great classes and a great professor. Despite other postings, he is a very personable professor even though he has a tendency to grade rather hard on tests and papers. You learn what to say to get an A if you pay attention.

if you can take someone else, do. He grades really hard and hes cocky bc hes really smart. He assigns like 40 short stories to read during the semester as well, dont read them, the test only have like 3 questions about them and he usually goes over them in class anyway.

I love this professor. He is so helpful and really knows the material. Yes, you should study, but if you are in college & expect to just breeze through, then you should't be here. The papers & presentations aren't bad if you put forth a little effort. I recommend these classes, especially to SOC majors!!!!

Tests are pretty easy. Assignments are garded harshly, but they don't effect your grade that much. He does talk about how 1/3 of the class will fail and how hard it is, but I found it pretty easy. But you must read and pay attention in class.

Love this professor's smart ass teaching style ! If you are taking his classes on drugs because you think drugs are cool, you WILL fail, but all the classes I have taken from him (4!) were the 4 most interesting classes I have ever taken on campus and I'm getting ready to graduate.

I am surprised by many of the comments. Yes, he's a hard prof, but this is college. Tests are short answer and if you study, not unreasonable at all. I think he's a great prof and makes class interesting. If you don't like to study or keep up with the readings, then find a different class.

He says you don't have to attend, but in order to get good grades you better. He's really smart and uses a varity of resources and materials.

This prof is full of himself. He likes to put students' ideas down to make himself sound better. Some things were interesting, but the professor made the class suck. He graded hard on assignments, but if there is a discrepancy, he will correct it. He was helpful when I talked to him before or after class. Other professors may be easier...good luck!

I enjoyed the seminar...yes, he's a little egotistical, but in his defense, he has a lot of knowledge to offer in his field. He'll grow on you. Overall, interesting and fair.

really enjoyed the class. not too hard if you come to class and do the reading. went to his office once and he was extremely helpful. i would recommend him

Took him for Hate Crimes/Groups. Enjoyed the course. Very simple. Great professor.

Yes, this class is difficult, but it's college. What do you expect? He was very knowledgeable, and many people think that's arrogance, when it's really not. Listen to the man, he knows his stuff.

I needed this class for my major, but I wasn't keen on the subject matter of Hate Crimes. It was a difficult class to get through due to this, but Dr. Schroer is very knowledgeable and if you ask for help he will give it. He may be hard, but college should be a challenge.

Don't understand negative comments. Good, dry sense of humor, not arrogant at all! All I can say is morons grow your ego; smart people grow your intellect. He definitely grows your intellect. Awesome professor, and extremely intelligent! Also, good at explaining and re-explaining if necessary. I'm trying to get more of his classes!!

He's a great guy. Super nice and pretty funny. He will reapeat and clean up any questions you have for him. He doesn't really keep my attention and that's where I have problems in the class. He is a pretty good teacher overall, but his tests are not anywhere near easy.

Dr. Schroer has very strict and specific guidelines within his courses. Individuals, who don't do well in his courses, generally fail to follow these guidelines. If you go to class, take GOOD notes, and study regularly you will be fine. You will not do as well if you study for his test and complete his papers the night before they're due.

This class is a LOT of theory, didn't really get interesting until the end. Dr. Schroer speaks very fast but gets across the material he tests on. Tests come STRAIGHT from the study guide topics and were very easy if you knew the study guide well. The outside readings are covered by maybe one or two questions on the tests.

As long as you put forth effort in reading and participating in class discussion you should do well. He takes time to help clarify material if you do not understand, but you must ask! Dr. Schroer is knowledgeable and does a good job of communicating subject matter

He is a great prof if your willing to put the time in for his class. You must ask question if you don't understand he will help and you will learn a lot. Do not take if you could care less about the subject he is not easy. Overall awesome

This professor is very knowledgeable about the material! He is very easy to approach whenever a student needs help. Be sure to read the textbook and be in class for unannounced in-class assignments!

Dr. Schroer is one of my top professors at USI. You will notice his leftist tendencies as they are apparent in his lectures, but he is very intelligent and thorough in his field and notes. I didn't agree with most of his political philosophy, but he was very open and friendly to all students, and is a great professor to learn from.

Honestly, if you put forth effort by reading the assigned work and doing the homework to the best of your ability, this class is not that hard. He can be sarcastic and blunt at times, but I think he's just really honest with his students. Overall, I enjoyed this class & the lectures were interesting minus the statistics day, but that was expected.

I really liked this class and this professor. He was accessible outside of office hours and enthusiastic about what he was teaching. He doesn't take attendance but you will miss important lectures if you're not there, as his Powerpoints aren't very useful. I didn't do the readings as much as I should have, but I still did well without it.

If u are going to school to learn and not to just skate by and do nothing then u should have no issue. He can be rude but I think it's bc he thinks he is being funny and not to cut you down. He often will back down on what he was saying w a laugh. I had him for 2 classes and now a 3rd and I am happy, not all professors need to be ur best friend!
