Schley is a caring person, but he is not a good lecturer at all. His lectures do not prepare you well for the midterms and barely taught anything. Made his final short, but very point heavy and brought my A down to a B+. I suggest going to CLAS and teaching yourself if you want any grade above a C. Offered extra credit.

Prof was nice caring guy but he could barely teach the class. He did not prepare us well for the midterms. Made 1st midterm wk 2 of class, and for the other ones he did not provide an answer key for practice exams. Lecture was really useless and I had no idea what was going on. If you want to get an A in this class, GO TO CLAS and drop in hours.

Professor Schley is one of the nicest teachers I've had here at UCSB. He is super kind and cares a lot about his students doing well in his class. The lectures can be slightly disorganized, but there are so many helpful resources provided if you don't understand the material. He offers plenty of extra credit and even rounds grades up. He's great!

He doesn't post the solution to problems done in class so make sure you attend lecture, WebWork hw is insane but he does give extra credit if you do it early, but sometimes it's impossible to do it because he hasn't even gone over those topics yet. Exams are very confusing, and he's unclear on what's gonna be tested; you never know what to expect.

It is very clear that Dr. Schley wants his students to succeed. HW is unlimited tries and you get extra credit for completing homework assignments early. He removes exam questions that might've caused confusion. He is very accessible outside of class. He truly cares about his students and it shows. If you put in the effort, its easy to succeed

After reading these ratings at the beginning of the quarter I thought "Maybe he isn't that bad" I greatly underestimated just how bad someone could be at teaching. The lectures were unorganized, he constantly made mistakes, made topics overly complicated, etc. Possibly the worst experience I've ever had with an educator. Avoid if possible.
