Comment:
Dr. Schommer is a wonderful guy and very genuine. However, his class was awful to take. It may be I'm not much of a math person, but he did not help very much when it came to those who were struggling. I taught myself most of the material, but his lectures were long and monotone too. The tests weren't horrible and neither was the homework though.

Best math teacher you'll find at UTM. He's an easy grader and understands most people don't understand math. Homework was more complicated but you get multiple chances to get them right. Every lesson was available online to watch incase you missed a class. Gives you a chance to correct your tests too. I didn't understand the material & got a C

His lectures are a joke. He doesn't cover material that will be in the homework and I feel like I learned everything from google. He may be a good guy, but he is just an awful teacher in my opinion.

Comment:
Professor Schommer is a genuine guy, but his classes are just really fast-paced and difficult. If you are bad in math, you will struggle. However, he wants you to know the material and will stop to answer any questions. His tests are hard so you really have to know the material.

Comment:
I am poor at math but I had to take this class to graduate. Nearly killed me! Material was useless; this should be a class for math majors. Schommer was a kind, sweet, man but his tests were difficult and not enough time allowed. He does help with extra points. Very hard class! Studied 2 hrs. a night every night.

Comment:
He is very unclear in his lectures and sometimes messes up. The good thing is that if you miss his class he has video lectures online. The test are ridiculous and you never seem to have enough time. Definitely study for the test and do the homework.

I love Dr. Schommer I made a 35 on the first test we took and came out with a B in the class He drops your lowest grade and he is always there to help you out when you need it His tests are hard and he makes you work for your grade, but all in all he is a great professor Definitely knows what he is talking about

Comment:
This class is a difficult class if you have a shaky math background regardless of the professor. That being said, Dr. Schommer does not make that issue any simpler to resolve. He speaks fast and his handwriting in nearly illegible. He is an extremely nice person, and he definitely knows what he is talking about.

He is a nice person, class was hard. If you don't remember Algebra from high school don't take him, he thinks you should know it from high school. Tests are very hard & challenging. Will explain problems but just makes it more difficult. If you get him take a different teacher!

Comment:
Not a super hard class but if you arn't very good at math I wouldn't sugest you to take him. He talks really fast and doesn't explain unless you ask him to. Says if you do the homework you would do good on the test but that's not true. I wasn't failing but I wasn't making the grade I needed so my advisor suggested I should drop the class.

Schommer is one of the better math teachers I have had. If you do all the homework assignments and ask questions in class you shouldn't have many problems with his tests. He allows you to correct the tests to earn points back. I have no interest in math and had never done particularly well with it, but I had little to no problems with this class.

Ugh... always made A's in high school math courses. I made a C in his class. Such a nice man, but his tests are the only thing he grades and he goes WAY TOO fast. If at all possible take ANYONE else.

He's a very nice guy. Extremely nice. His tests were very predictable and the final is the exact problems from the previous tests. His handwriting is awful. Listen to what he says and use the book for reference and you're golden. He'll give you test points that you really shouldn't have gotten, too.

Very nice guy. However, he is extremely hard. He moves fast and expects you to understand and remember previous information. His writing is hard to read. Do no take unless good at math and ready to teach yourself. Buy the solutions manual if possible.

Super nice guy and very smart, but the tests are INSANELY hard and he goes way too fast. DO NOT take him unless you're prepared to teach yourself everything.

I'm horrible at math and I did ok in the class. You definitely need to study and get passing grades on the tests. He returns the tests and if you correct the answers you missed you get 1/3 point. DO THE HOMEWORK! GO TO CLASS!

He is a good teacher. You MUST go to class if you want to pass. Do the homework, it's a lot but if you do all of the homework you will pass the tests. The tests are the only grades in his class so you better study. He allows test corrections as well which is helpful. To pass you have to keep up!! Don't fall behind or you will fail this class.

Fairly awful professor. Tests are ridiculous and are your only grades in his class. The content of the course is absolutely useless. You dabble in stats and accounting. And it's supposed to be easier than 140. Lies. Just suck it up and take 140.

He is a good teacher and will help with questions. He does give you 1/3 of points back if you correct tests but if you are looking for an easy pass look elsewhere.
