Professor schneider, while being really funny has made me enjoy english again. If you take his class in engwr 300 he allows you to get creative with your writing by choosing most of your own topics with the 5 assigned essays. He is a stickler for grammar so i took wac with this class which counts as ec as well. He is a great teacher!!

Professor Schneider is a well respected man, an amazing educator, and a very caring individual. Communication is key in this class; if you are struggling in any way come to office hours or to WAC. Lectures are very clear and to the point. The syllabus is a very important; it will show the the due dates way ahead of time. Always do the extra credit!

He Is a nice guy, but when it comes to grading essays.. he could be a bit too harsh. If you wrote the best essay in the class but missed a detail, you get a low grade. Disappointed

I love professor Schneider! If you want to become a good writer, then take his class. He gives a lot of extra credit, so do it! He truly cares about his students, and wants to make sure people succeed, however, this is not an easy A. He's the best professor I've ever had! He is well organized and gives great feedback.

5 essays, some back to back. Feedback is given mainly on MlA and Grammer. Didn't learn to strengthen the structure of my essay. The class was not very engaged. There's a lot of work and little points, it's hard to keep track of your grade.

I'm lucky to have taken my classes with Harold. He really cares about his students achieving their potential. Visit him in office hours. He will go over your papers and help you understand what to do better. Easy going and very down to earth gentleman.

Very clever, inspirational, and witty. Fun teacher -- will make you work for your grade. Just stick to the given criteria and you'll do fine. Gives long lectures and is monotone so can get boring.

I love this Professor! He made me actually enjoy writing. Only 5 essays on interesting topics and a few reading analysis papers which were easy. I found him very funny and witty. He is a stickler for grammar, so if you really want to improve on that he's a huge help. You can miss 3 classes before he docks points. SEE HIM IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING!

Although his class was a challenge, he is an amazing Professor. He has a calm essence and a soft spoken voice. I was never afraid to ask for help, the most approachable Professor I have ever had. Assignments are intense but he only wants his students to grow and succeed. He has a great sense of humor! Definitely take his class!

Professor Schneider is an English literature veteran. As a result, he introduces well known works of literature by some of the most famous authors like E.E Cummings, Dylan Thomas, Sharon Olds, and Gary Soto. Furthermore, students receive e-mail's about college events, which are helpful reminders about campus life at American River College.

So I'm not a fan of comp., and therefore took English last. However, words can't do justice to the character of Prof. Schneider. Exceedingly kind, helpful, and funny, he makes it not just tolerable but enjoyable. I saw incorrect postings about attendance with regards to his class, it's standard rules. He doesn't dock for 2 missed classes (maybe 8?)

Though grader, I missed class like twice and he took off 50 points from my grade. I ended up with a C instead of a B+. I Wouldn't take his class again. C's get you degrees! right?

He's really nice and very understanding. I had a doctors appointment and a surgery during my finals week so he gave me more time and was very understanding. You just have to ask him for help and he will for sure help you. He wants you to pass and do good and actually learn. Awesome teacher and very funny and cute. Even though I had a rough semester

Professor Schneider is great. I took him this semester, and I haven't regretted it even once. For 300, you have to write 5 papers and 4 reading responses. It might sound a lot, but it is not (trust me). Moreover, the paper's topics are really interesting , self revealing, and insightful. Well, if you have to take 300, take it with Schneider!

Took him this semester. Have to say one of the best professors i ever had. You will have lots of writing to do, but its 300 class so it's not bad. He gives good amount of extra credit. Whether you need WAC or no, take it. Its extra credit. Plus at this level of writing extra help and advices will always help. Very good teacher.
