05/17/2024		Lectures - he speaks while showing slides, I don't really know how else to put it. It is not the most engaging lecture style in the world but I guess it gets the job done. I will say, he tends to go over many details and specifics that you don't necessarily need to know for the exam. Exams are short answer and based on overarching concepts from lecture. Despite being short answer, they are not overly difficult and you have the choice between which questions to answer (given 6, answer 4, for ex). But, the material can get complicated, especially if you have little to no background in systematics, physics, anatomy and physiology, etc. He does not put grades in ELMS at all. I didn't know my grade until I went on Testudo, after our final. It's a very exam heavy class (no quizzes or homework, just 2 lab reports) and not all expectations are always clearly laid out for exams/assignments. But overall it was fine. I think Dr. Shultz is a decent person and he doesn't mind answering questions or helping you. It almost seemed like he wished people would ask questions more often. I guess things have changed compared to 2014. Overall just somewhat unclear and disorganized, though.

One word describes him: ASSHOLE. He is the worst teacher that I have had at UMD so far. His lecture slides are nothing but scribbles from is touch screen laptop he uses for lectures and it is impossible to learn anything from him. His slides would have little to no valuable information for the tests on them and it was impossible to use them to help you study and do homework. He was very unapproachable and was extremely unhelpful whenever you asked him a question. For one of the exams my test score was mixed up with someone else's and he wasn't going to go back in the grade book and change it. Luckily another nicer professor did it for me. NEVER TAKE THIS GUY

07/17/2013 This review was automatically imported from OurUMD. It was not manually verified and may not follow our review standards.		I thought he was a decent professor, and his only fault was that he was sometimes dull in his speech. It became a little difficult to pay attention later in the lectures, which can be a problem.
