Comment:

He is a really helpful and understanding teacher. However, you do need to go to class. Even if you can not finish the full reading assignment, the class discussion helps. Plus, everything discussed in class ends up on the exam.

Comment:

If you love HOUSE, you'll love Dr. SCHNEIDER! He is extremely witty, and his intellectual capacity is INVALUABLE! He will go above and beyond the call of duty to you, but ONLY if you help yourself. I had him twice, and he is on my advising, exams, and dissertation committee, and because of that, I KNOW that I will be successful!

Comment:

I have had three classes with Prof. Schneider. Every experience has been rewarding. He is the kind of professor that you only hear about--one invested in students and helping them achieve their best work. He also has an amazing ability to direct questions and guide ideas. Every class experience has been one of integrity and respect.

As good as a professor can be - knowledgeable, dedicated, fair, respectful, and always available for help outside of class. Always picks engaging texts and facilitates excellent class discussions.

Comment:

I've known Professor Schneider for almost four years, have taken multiple courses with him, and have worked closely with him on my own graduate research. His knowledge of content is unparalleled, and he has a unique ability to share his understanding and to encourage his students to generate and develop their own thoughts. A a gentleman, scholar.

Comment:

I have taken multiple classes from Prof. S over a period of three years. He is completely committed to teaching (unlike other Profs I have had at Purdue), and he has always been more than willing to help me out--even on projects outside of his class. I have learned so much from him, and look forward to taking classes from him in the future.

Prof. Schneider is undoubtedly one of the best and most supportive teachers I've ever had (and that's through four years of college and four years of graduate school)! He's helpful, encouraging, respectful, challenging, and funny...two thumbs up for Prof. S!

Comment:

In the 3 classes I've had with him, he has been the most respectful, commited prof I've had at this school. He is always interested in what you have to say, and he really cares about his students. You have to work hard, but you learn a lot! I just wish he taught engineering classes.

Comment:

I can't believe some people here thought he was their best professor ever. He's so full of himself, it's disgusting. It's rare to have a professor who degrades and disrespects his students *that* much.

Best professor I've ever had. Brilliant, engaging, passionate, dedicated, and fun! And, yes, hot. It can be quite the distraction, but we manage as best we can. He keeps us focused. :)

Great sense of humor. Has a lot of fun with the students, and doesn't take himself too seriously. He will make you work though, so don't think you will get off easy.

Comment:

Dr. Schneider truly cares about the academic and professional development of students. If YOU are serious about learning, then HE is the professor for you. If you're more interested in being lazy and whining, don't even bother. He is not having it, and neither is the rest of the world, so get over it and get used to it.

best prof i had. totally smart and funny and SO NOT full of himself ( when he says your there for his entertainment and not your education he doesn't really mean it, thats just his sense of humor--duh!). how can you say he's too old when he looks more like a student than a prof? cute for sure. luv it when he smiles.

SO not Tom Cruise!! Tom is HOT--Ryan's NOT. Too boring and makes too much of grade count for participation. Why do you all think he's dreamy?! Too old and not hot enough for me.

utterly smart; utterly hip. less the tom cruise of lit (!)--more like the Rico Suave of all things aesthetic. NOT a waste of time to study with this one! AND, he may deny it, knows his way around europe (can you say Leiden? can you say Amsterdam
