Professor Schaeffer is really great. His lectures are really clear, well structured, covering both theoretical knowledge and easy-to-understand examples. He is almost always available in office to answer questions, and he really loves to help students. Definitely take a course with him!

Terrible grader. Deduct points off just because you don't write like the standard answer.

Amazing teacher. His lectures are boring, but he cracks some "old man" jokes every time I was about to fall asleep. Very clear and has a thorough understanding of the material. And I think the guy below me meant to post his post on another J. Scheffer in CMU.

I had this guy for three courses in the early '90s. Good to see he's still teaching. I remember him only because he was by far the best professor I had as an undergraduate.

Comment:
The best calc professor I've ever had. Not only is he excellent at explaining a very hard subject (calc in 3D), but he also has examples ready and shows how things are derived and used, rather than just presenting the formulae and expecting us to memorize them. Exams are easy compared to homework material.

Schaeffer is, hands down, the BEST teacer in the entire department. He explains everything clearly, then provides examples illustrating his points. And somehow, he gets through all the material with plenty of time to spare. If you take Calc in 3D, take it with Schaeffer.

Don't take Calc3D w/o a good reason, but if you do, take it with Schaeffer. Presents everything clearly, and understands that lots of examples are the best way to learn. Not much class interaction, but tests are fair given the difficulty of the material
