Comment:
Professor Schap's lectures are fast-paced and pretty confusing. He assigns a lot of textbook reading and practice problems that are not graded. HOWEVER, this extra work is how I actually learned and did well in the class because the lectures were confusing. If you take this class, do the extra work because it will be to your benefit in the end.

Very nice man, but this class was awful. He assigned YouTube videos instead of teaching and yet gave the hardest exams and homework I have ever had to do. Questions were unclear and made to trick you. He takes off an unnecessary amount of points for small errors. In office hours he is not helpful and says that it is for you to figure out. Run!!

If you enjoy submitting assignments and being deducted points for your PDF quality, then this is the course for you! Prof. Schap is your typical tenured professor: could care less about his students. Tests are super hard and do not reflect the material taught. TAKE THIS COURSE OVER THE SUMMER AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS!!!!!!

Professor Schap will hold you well over the time period every single, showing a blatant lack of respect for students as individuals outside of his class. He also decided to send us links to YouTube videos halfway through the semester and watched those instead of class. I payed a lot of money to watch random YouTube videos. Frustrating.

Comment:
Honestly Professor Schap is actually really enjoyable and can be funny in lecture. However, his material is very challenging and he grades tough. Every class will go 5 minutes over so be prepared for that if you have a class after. Additionally reading the text and doing the problem sets are a must to do well in the course.

Id rather transfer than take this class again. The class is an hour despite the 50 minutes allotted for the class. For the sake of your mental health do not take this class. Studying for exams with our homework and with a professor that teaches differently from the textbook will kill you

Professor Schap is a great professor, and you can tell that he likes teaching. You will read a lot in his class, but it is manageable. While his lecture material can be very difficult, you will learn a lot. No curve, but 90 is A in his class.

GREAT GUY! He is very funny, and makes class interesting. There is a ton of reading, but no deadlines for it. He just says "as long as you read this for the test, you'll be okay." He makes learning Econ very interesting and brings outside, real-life examples to class. Never boring.

Very good professor, makes everything clear, and goes out of his way to ensure you understand the material. Says class attendance is mandatory but not enforced but you'll miss critical material 3 tests, 3 HW assignments, no quizzes, possible to cram in the last week w/out reading, only if you attend all in all, best Econ professor, take this class

Very thorough in his explanations, but he moves pretty quickly through his lectures. Willing to help during office hours. Would recommend for Micro. Read material and do the homework. Attend class, because his lecture notes are crucial.

Comment:
Very conservative, and almost only points out viewpoints he agrees with. Dismissive if differing views are presented in class. Reading material included text on global warming not being real, and "all poor people choose to be poor or are disabled."
