Comment:

If there is one word to describe this professor is ATTITUDE. He has no respect and talk to student like slaves or stupid. He is far away from being nice and considerate. You cannot make human mistakes he will not forgive you and will give you the worst negative attitude. Do the work easy to get A but his attitude is unbearable.

Took his History 101 online class. Really manageable, 3 exams, 1 extra credit exam and an essay. Do your ready and use the book. You should not fail this class if you put in some effort.

Comment:

all I can say is that this guy is well known across Miramar college. Trust me!! I love this guy, I will be taking his Hist 110 this upcoming summer. I didn't like the other guy named David Reeves because he will tear any paper that you turn in to him apart like via. Grammar/ punctuation. This instructor (Schilz) is the best, very knowledgeable.

I took his history 109 and I actually was hopeless at the first. But as I went to his class for a while, I started enjoying them to the point that I wouldn't miss his class for any reason. There are 3 easy exams during the class which are easy if you just read some important parts of the book. 2 major papers. 1 extra credit exam.

Took him for Hist109 online and it was the easiest class I've ever taken. Exams are easy and there's a huge extra credit extravaganza at the end and really can boast your grade. Def a must take for GE's but probably not if it's part of your major.

Take this class if you need an easy class for your Humanities. Three tests, two essays, and one super colossal extra credit extravaganza. This teacher understand that not everyone needs history as a mandatory class for their major, so he makes it simple to get these kind of classes out of the way. His lectures are entertaining. He knows his stuff.

Take is class online, but make sure you can spell properly. Grammar check before you post anything and youll do great. I personally did pretty bad on the tests, but did really great on the discussion posts. He gives extra credit at the end. I passed with an A because of that extra credit assignment.

He only lectures. No group projects, no homework/tests done in class. You have a few essays to submit online and a few test to complete online. His vocabulary is very colorful and is definitely not afraid to cuss you out in front of the class. He can be terrifying or really funny.

Although his lectures are long, as the semester goes on you learn to really enjoy them. He has a hilarious personality and he has no problems answering questions! There aren't that many assignments, so paying attention is a must! He doesn't really take attendance, but its hard to do well in his class if you aren't there. I'd for sure recommend.

Comment:

Dr. Schilz is by far one of my favorite professors of all time. That being said, his class is by no means an easy A. He does lectures that last all class which you NEED to take notes on. You'll also read the textbook a lot of the time, so find the time or you WILL fall behind. He is extremely smart and the funniest professor or teacher I've had.

Completing the study guides is one way to pass. They cover a lot of material that will be on the exams. Special Discussion Board post are like essay's for this class. It is important to check your grammar before posting. He will deduct points if he finds any grammar or punctuation issues. Easily accessible by email if you have questions.

Comment:

Prof. Schilz is a great professor because he is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to History, so if you need help do not be afraid to ask. He is a stickler when it comes to grammar and punctuation, so make sure to check your discussion board post twice before posting. Study guides are essential so get them done to study.

Professor Schilz was a great teacher, that I'll be taking another class with him next semester. He's very straight forward. GO to his lectures & take notes, they help a lot when taking his online exams. (his lectures are never boring) Also NEVER have your cellphone out, he hates it and will call you out in front of everyone in class

He's a pretty easy grader. The class is based on 2 discussions questions and 3 tests. The discussion questions he isn't hard on grading. He has all his criteria for it on the length and what not, but as along as you answer all sections to the question he will give you an A. The tests you get 2 hours to take so you have plenty of time, no rushing.

Probably the easiest class in the whole SDCCD System, if you fail this class, you shouldn't be in college. I literally never show up and I got an A+. If you need a GPA booster this class is perfect for you.

Super easy class. Three tests (100pt each), two essays(50pt each), one huge extra credit test at the end(150pts). Tests are pretty tough, but it's easy to get extra points on the essays if you listen to what he wants and are thorough. Super understanding, knows that life happens. Only lectures, no discussion at all unless someone asks a question.
