Comment:

Professor Schott is one of the best professors I've ever had. He is extremely helpful and kind. He an amazing professor and I feel like I actually learned and retained a ton of information from this course. He makes it very interesting, gives great examples, plenty of chances for easy credit, and answers all questions thoroughly no matter how dumb.

Professor Schott is one of the best professors Ive had at HVCC. His grading criteria is clear as day and he makes it damn near impossible to fail. He also offers additional help if you need it in regards to your tests. 10/10 would def take him again.

Comment:

Also had him for Intro to Psych. Both courses, while easy, did demand at least some level of engagement. The quizzes/tests in 235 required knowledge of the text but the reading load was very light so there's no excuse not to pass. He is actively engaged with the course,participates in discussions, & clearly cares about teaching effectively. Awesome

I can't say enough good things about Mr. Schott and I don't think I could come up with even one bad thing to say! So funny - coming to class every day you knew you were going to laugh at least once. Lots of baseball references (that's points in my book) and he gave the most hilarious little skits. So caring too. An A+ Prof in every way!!! Take him!

Really great, however no nonsense. Gives you one week to do the readings and questions, the 2nd week to do the summary sheets and quiz. His summary sheets outline the quiz. Do those and you pass. All there is to his class. Seems pretty laid back. Participation matters! Expects you to login (for online) nearly daily and comment on posts though.

I remember signing up for my first psychology class. I was so nervous, didn't know what to expect. Mr. Schott is by far the best professor I have ever had. His grading criteria are very clear and understandable. His teaching techniques are outstanding. They are 5 exams and 15 quizzes. The exam and quizzes are extremely easy. I highly recommend him.

Comment:

One if my favorite professors so far. Uses analogys and acts out some of the more confusing stuff to make it easily understandable. You need to buy the textbook to do the study sheets he assigns. If you do the work there's no reason you shouldn't get an A.

He gives out easy packets to fill out. All the answers are in the textbook. (I put them all on Quizlet, search it up). He gives out-of-packet quizzes. You must know everything from the packets for the test, but their easy. Remember the answers to the questions, don't need to memorize the questions. Essay is somewhat easy. Drops 3 lowest grades.

He basically hands you the material you need to pass so if you don't pass it's honestly just you. When i say you'll learn in this class YOU"LL LEARN, he was made to do this for a living!

Comment:

Nice teacher, good organization of the course. All quizzes and tests are multiple choice and rather easy. Teacher participates in discussions, providing a bit of feedback to individual responses. But, discussion was lackluster (reqs too low). Decent intro course, could do more to foster comprehension. But if you invest in it, you'll gain something.

Comment:

Prof Schott keeps you engaged in the subject matter while making it funny, but not in the way some profs go where it seems like they're practicing a stand up comedy routine. Uses methods of teaching that helps the information stick and makes sure to highlight the important stuff that will be on the tests.

He is very clear at the start of his class what is expected of you if you want to pass. If you show up and do his term sheets you will pass this class. When it comes to testing he drops lowest test grade and he gives you a term sheet before each test to use as guide for test. An amazing teacher who cares about his students.

Specific with details in giving examples. He paints the perfect Picture when giving his lectures. You will never be bored in this class. Tons of group work. Offers "Study Packets" for exactly what's going to be on the Exams. This could not be better. Offers research Paper. The Best paper I ever got to do. I hope my kids get to take this course.

I had professor Schott for both general psychology, and positive psychology and I have to say I am so glad I did. The class(es) was/were easy, entertaining and I feel like I got a lot out of them. Super helpful all around, especially for quizzes and tests. Gives amazing feedback on everything and wants to help you do well. Very highly recommended!

Uses real life examples. Teaches towards reality and gives easy quizzes and test based on what is taught. Has you participate in activities. Knows how to teach to ALL TYPES of learners! He teaches in a fun way! He will act out examples and show relevant/cool videos. He will always respect his students as well. Little HW. Grades are spread.
