| Andrew Schiffmacher ANSC437 Expecting an A admin 11/18/2025 | Dr Schiffmacher is my favorite professor I've had in my entire time at UMD. His classes are so engaging and interesting that it makes the difficulty of the subject matter seem minimal. He really cares about his students and the work he does. If you ever have the privilege of taking one of his classes, I highly recommend. |

| Andrew Schiffmacher ANSC435 Expecting an A- admin 05/08/2025 | Experimental Embryology was literally my favorite class of my entire semester. Dr. Schiffmacher is so approachable and nice. Any questions you have are easily answered. All assignments in this class are super reasonable and I found myself really loving my final project at the end of the semester. |

| Andrew Schiffmacher ANSC435 Expecting an A- admin 05/09/2024 | Dr. Schiffmacher has major dad vibes. You can easily get him talking about his personal life by asking him random questions. His lectures are not the most enjoyable, but he makes an effort to make sure his point is getting across. While he does not curve, his grade data speaks for itself as he is an incredibly lenient grader. Additionally, his ANSC435 course is heavily designed around the weekly lab sessions, which are actually cool and can be fun, despite their apparent impossibility at times. If you put in any amount of effort, you will do fine in any of his courses. |
