One of the best professors I've had. Dr. Scheller is hilarious and a super nice guy. Really tries to connect with students and makes class enjoyable. I actually looked forward to coming to class. Uses models to illustrate the concepts described in class, which really helps a lot with understanding. The course is a bit difficult but you'll be fine.

Scheller's a fantastic professor and a great guy on top of it. He will do everything in his power to help you get the grade you want. If you want to succeed, go to class every single time, do the practice problems in the book, and go ask him for help. No reason you shouldn't do well if you do these things. Very smart man who goes above and beyond

Comment:

Dr. Scheller is a great professor who does care about his students. The only thing I didn't like were his exams. He made them himself and they're difficult. I did all the readings and online assignments to help study but I still struggled. But his lectures are interesting and very informative! (Also gives ex credit points for silly stuff sometimes)

Listed points possible in the syllabus is not accurate. He comes up with the total amount and you basically never know where youre standing. So hope he likes you

Best professor at USI hands down! He makes learning the material fun. Funny guy and really loves what he does. He cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. accessible outside of class. Be sure to take good notes and do the online homework. I wish I could take him for every class!

Comment:

I'm not much of one for any sciences, especially physics, but Scheller made it interesting and fun! He demonstrates what he teaches and they are enjoyable. Homework is online, but super easy! You will need to get an access code for the homework and the book to read because some questions on the tests are from the reading. Highly suggest him!!!!

Comment:

I was dreading taking this physics class after struggling horribly in high school level physics. SCHELLER IS INCREDIBLE. He uses so many real life applications to explain the material and his lectures are always super interesting. I walked in feeling like I would do poorly, and came out feeling a lot more confident. Take his class, it's worth it!

Take him. No questions asked. I'm a business student who is terrible at science based classes and I'm doing fine. If you go to class and listen, you'll be fine. Don't buy the book.

Book not needed, access code needed. If you show up to class and actively take notes, this class will be a breeze. His tests model his lectures pretty spot on.

Physics isn't my strong suit, but he makes the class interesting and you actually learn something from it. Funniest professor here, and he keeps it real with you. As long as you go to class and take notes, you'll pass.

He is hilarious! He is also very helpful when you do not understand something. He does a lot of demonstrations and always has practice tests available online for each exam. He gives homework online but if you google the answers they're online.

By far the best professor at USI. Physics is a tough class in general but Dr. Scheller made it easy to understand. He explains everything clearly and does a lot of interesting experiments in class with the help of students sometimes. He makes his own test but as long as you show up and pay attention, you will pass.

One of the best professors I have had. I am terrible at math and understanding science and I got a B in his class. He is very fun, outgoing and has a way to get the whole lecture involved. I enjoyed sitting though his class. He preformed many experiments during the course to. If you have to take Physics take it will Dr. Sheller.

Absolutely wonderful professor. He is super knowledgeable about his area, but he can still teach it to beginners. Open to any questions. He truly cares about his students. I actually looked forward to coming to his class because he made lectures exciting. He also had chances for bonus points. You do have to put in work because it's a hard subject.

Scheller is an amazing professor. If you want to pass this class, he gives you all the oppurtunites too. That may involve basically living in his office, but he is always willing to help. The tests are not neccissarly easy, but I imagine most physics aren't

So many people talk about how difficult his tests are. I have never had a physics class before so I thought this could be trouble. I was shocked to find that for me these tests were fairly easy. I went to every class, did the online homework problems, and if I had trouble with one of them I looked it up. I scored a very strong A in this course.

Comment:

BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. He is great at what he does. I am horrible at physics, but he has helped me so much and my grade is improving. The tests are tough if you have issues with conceptual questions, but so worth taking. Sit close to him to be more involved and don't be late! If you are, just bring a quarter. TAKE THIS CLASS!
