Comment:

A lot of emphasis on the textbook. Lectures are interesting but tests are very inconsistent. Never know what to expect: sometimes they are easy and sometimes impossible. Assignment is easy to get a good grade on. Focuses a lot on his own research and his own academic accomplishments.

Took thesis class and IRP with him. Even though there was a lot of responsibility, you will feel very much rewarded for your hardwork. My experience with Dr. Schellenberg was nothing but motivational. You do your part and you will accomplish your goals.

Awesome prof! Seems hard to approach but is actually really nice and helpful. He wants his students to succeed but he's going to make you work for it. Very high but very clear expectations! Go to class, do your readings, study and you will do well.

All about the studies he teaches you in class. MC based on book..as long as you read you're basically ensured a 50% on every midterm. Easy Essay. Short Answers always ALWAYS on studies he taught-very specific/hard/irrelevant..hated the 3 hour class.

Comment:

Originally, I wasn't incredibly enthusiastic about Devpsych. For me, Schellenburg's class ignited a new interest in the topic. However, the class is not a walk in the park. Pay. Attention. To. The. STUDIES! He will not simply feed good marks to you: like any good teacher, he will make you work for them, and will eventually make them work for you.

He's pretty interesting. The textbook is very important in this course, especially if you wanna do well on m/c. His short answer questions are based on case studies. Quite a bit of memorization

Comment:

A good prof with some interesting lectures...he kind of ran out of steam at the end of the year, though. It is difficult to do well in his class. If you are in DevPsych, take lots of time to understand the material. That means read the textbook, go to class and STUDY!

I didn't like him at first, but I like him a lot now. His tests are hard, but easy if you study--TRUST ME. Study. Especially those experiments/studies. Your textbook is your bff. Take good notes in class. The stuff he writes on the board= important. Sit near the front. Print your notes beforehand. Read before going to class!

Comment:

Ditto to everyone mentioning hard course. A lot of work and precise note taking on the case-studies is a must. Overall he can teach and hes a little weird...Also he sweats a lot lol. Back of his shirt will make you think he just did some interval sprints.

Comment:

His writing is HORRIFIC!! I stood up close and still could not make sense of the word. He is not someone I would approach for help... Case studies = whole course. He focuses on the little detail of the case studies rather than the concept of it, which I find very useless as these will not help in the future. His notes are garbage.

Comment:

Not too bad of a prof (or course) when it comes to teaching style,helpfulness etc. The only negative was having to memorize a million different studies. He's also a bit too picky on the multiple choice questions. Lectures were interesting enough.

Comment:

Agree with rest of the posters that he appears rather intimidating, and that he is not very approachable. Having said that, I appreciate his lectures very much...he challenges you to think. Exams were a mix of easy/straight out of notes to more abstract questions requiring understanding of underlying concepts vs. details.
