Professor Schneider is one of the better econ professors at UCSB. What I respect most about him is his ability to empathize for his students. He structured the class to be very accomodating to a student's schedule, so if you're working a part-time or full-time job while enrolled as a student, Professor Schneider is a solid pick.

I really liked Schneider because the material is very practical and I find his tangents interesting even though I am not pursuing tax. I get how some people may find his structure in lecture confusing but everything is based off the textbook and he is really helpful outside of class. He adds random extra credit and really wants students to do well!

Extremely boring professor who was more interested in talking about his political beliefs than teaching taxation. Does not give any explanation for his grades on exams and neither does he show you what you got wrong and why. Not sure why the mystery? Extremely lazy and haphazard approach to teaching and grading. Avoid him at all costs.

Great. Easy. Nice.

He really sticks to the book which is nice since the book is actually helpful and has good examples. If you want to do well, read the book and take notes, do every application problem, take advantage of extra credit offered, and ask questions. Schneider wants students to do well and it shows. Best accounting elective class and 138B is great too.

Make sure you go to lecture because he does a great job wrapping up the main points. Very fair grader and very knowledgeable as well.
