Amazing teacher and is extremely caring for his students. He always wants each student to know what their doing and makes sure to answer any questions in clear understandable detail.

I've always had issues with math but this is the man that changed that. He is an AMAZING professor. He doesn't assume that you know everything. He teaches at an elementary level without making you feel stupid which is just what I needed. He's also very entertaining. Enjoy this class

Bill Schildknecht is the man! He made the class really easy, which was surprising considering that I am horrible at math. Before each exam he would devote class to reviewing everything that would be tested, going through each type of problem in an in-depth manner. He also had optional review sessions outside of class that I would highly recommend, the exams closely followed the sample tests he provided. He was really good about answering any questions in lecture, and was very clear in his explanations. He was funny, entertaining, and very flamboyant, which made a very boring subject tolerable at such an early hour. Get this guy if you can.

I never did the hw and just reviewed the practice exam and got by. He is a great professor just go to class and u can learn from the problems he does on the board which sometimes end up on the test. I highly recommend him. We only had 3 test and a final as well as 10pt quiz in discussion which the 2 low grades get dropped. My TA was pretty nice as well carter price. TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE OR GO ON WAIT LIST ITS WORTH IT!!!!

He is HILARIOUS and makes everything really easy to follow. At the finals review session, where students from all sections (and with different professors) came together, I heard them saying, "Why couldn't our professor have explained it like that? I just understood everything from the whole semester."

Professor Schildknecht is a great professor. It is very easy to do well as long as you go to class and pay attention. Just make sure you get A's on everything up until the Final. The final was really hard and I doubt I broke a C but still got an A in the class.

The class was pretty easy to begin with, but Dr. S. made it even easier. He explained things very clearly and you could tell he really wanted the students to be successful. He's also really funny and a very nice guy overall. Exams weren't too bad, and he even gives you sample exam problems from previous semesters. He doesn't try to trick you, but you might need to think a bit on a few problems here and there.

If you're looking for a teacher to keep you awake during class, this is the guy. He has a very distinct voice and is a pretty funny guy. The course material may be a bit challenging, but he does a good job explaining. His T.A. Russell Halper did an excellent job.

The best math professor at UMD. Not only is he hilarious but he really knows what he's talking about. He is an amazing teacher and goes out of his way to help students. I hate math, but I LOVED this class with him. I normally stuggle in math, but got an A. If you have to take a math or have to take Math111, try hard as hell to get into his class...he is amazing and makes the lectures fun and interesting. I would recommend him to everybody!!!!!

Wow... he's so hilarious, even when he's not trying to be funny. He's really flamboyant and so funny to listen to, which makes for a great math lecture. The class is easy, and he makes it even easier. He covers everything you need to know for exams and goes out of his way to help students. You take a weekly quiz in discussion, so the quiz is like an attendance grade. Easy A, and so amusing. TAs are usually nothing special, but you might get lucky. I recommend taking his class if you have to take 111.
