He's extremely intelligent, but his lectures are pretty boring. He gets off topic a lot but he will answer your questions well. Use Professor Leonard on youtube and do the review sheets and you'll do fine.

I had to take the class online. He was difficult. His slides would just be filled with words and letters and numbers and I never had any idea what was going on. I didn't learn a single thing from his lectures. Read the book, understand the examples, and DO THE HOMEWORK and you should be okay. Exams were so hard because the class was online.

Comment:

If you've already taken calc in highschool, then 151 with Scheffer is pretty simple. Exams can be tricky but he puts out review material and has office hours about twice a week. He's also very responsive when you send him emails, so I would recommend taking advantage of that if you have any questions. You can understand him through his accent well.

This man is the most fair grader, I have ever had in my academic career. Arguably lenient at times. His lectures seem dry but he covers the content on exams. Do the review sheets they will save you. He spends a great deal of time to ensure the success of his students. Not too many prac problems in lecture but the review sheet should carry you.

Professor Scheffer is one of the best math professors I have ever encountered. I don't know if it's just Rutgers, but he really made me understand math. Writing proofs during workshop and going over difficult logic problems made me get a rush whenever I solved something I've never seen before. Do the webassign and study lecture and you'll be fine.

You have to try to fully understand the Webassign homework and do additional practice problems to do well in 152. Scheffer is a kind professor who loves answering questions and goes slowly and carefully though problems. He speaks a little quietly and sometimes goes off on tangents about math history , but his exams are straightforward. He's good!

His tests are straightforward and not too difficult as long as you study the course material. There are no curveballs thrown. Make sure to do hw and workshops because they are a huge help to your final grade! Overall, he is a good professor and is very helpful!

He's really nice and pretty clear on what he's teaching. Doing the homework and workshops really help your grade. And although his lectures are long, going to them does help since his exams can have problems from the examples done in class and overall his notes are really helpful for the exams.

He was my freshmen year calc I professor. His classes are very easy, you just gotta put some effort into it. Although, lectures are very boring and often will make you fall sleep, because of his voice tone, its a really easy going class. Attendance does not really matter, unless you want to learn something . Definitely take him again.

Superb Professor. Take him if you want an A in Calc 151 or 152. You won't get bored in class and will hear a lot of history of math. Excellent professor. I hope I could have it for further more math classes at Rutgers. He is extremly knowledgeable...

I've never taken a calculus class in my life and had to take engineering calculus but I didn't struggle nearly as much as I could have. Scheffer can be boring and move at a quicker pace but he proves everything and makes everything clear. Also examples in class can be more advanced than homework and exams so they come easier to you.

Comment:

Compared to other Calc professors, Scheffer is very straight to the point and he makes a lot of sense. And as far as his tests go, if you do the homework and study the notes, you'll honestly be fine. He's kinda boring, but going to lecture is worth it. Plus, he occasionally makes one of his "algebra is the way of life" jokes to add entertainment.

Relatively good professor. His lectures are boring but he's a nice guy to ask questions. Exams were actually not that hard. If you take review the problems and examples you will do well on the exams. He curves according to the department, but it was a generous curve.

Comment:

I think that professor Scheffer may be one of the best teachers I've ever had for any subject. He explains things with the utmost clarity and most importantly he shows all steps in problems. I hate it when professors skip crucial steps and expect you to know what they did. Wish that he taught some engineering courses he would be great.
