Really nice guy and super helpful during and outside of class. He loves to get to know his students and his personality is so German lol. Highly recommend taking project lab with him!BIOL2309 2026-08-15 15:40:09 +0000 UTC
BIOL2301- Great teacher for this class. If you study, it is doable, and you will learn a lot. 3 midterms and 1 final exam. Going to class helps.BIOL2309 2026-08-14 04:14:57 +0000 UTC
Loved taking Bio Project Lab with Professor Schlichting. He was helpful and accessible for the group projects and made sure he was checking in with each of the groups and keeping us on track with time. Nice grader and gave good feedback on assignments.BIOL2309 2025-12-26 15:16:53 +0000 UTC
This man is lit would take any class with him again. Made being in class from 7-9:50pm actually funBIOL2309 2025-12-11 21:06:41 +0000 UTC
Had him for 2301 during summer 1. Really great professor with 3 midterms and 1 final (one gets dropped). Would definitely take again!BIOL2309 2025-06-25 20:11:10 +0000 UTC
Highly recommend taking a class with Dr. S. He is a great professor and is always willing to help. He makes it clear what is expected of you and offers guidance whenever you need it. I learned a lot in this class.BIOL2309 2024-11-01 06:51:04 +0000 UTC
Honestly, he's a good professor for this course (2301, not 2309) and he gives a fair workload. The homework assignments take about 10 minutes each and there are 1-2 per week. The lectures can get boring, but it is possible to self-study and still find success in the course. Take him, he's so much better of a choice compared to Henzy.BIOL2309 2024-07-03 04:53:39 +0000 UTC
Took his class Summer 1 w/exams online on Lockdown Browser. He posted all slides the day of lecture and truly wasn't a difficult class as long as you studied for ~1 week before the exam. 3 exams worth 50% with the lowest one dropped and 1 final worth 35%, the rest was HW based off completion. Did not need textbook bc slides summed up material.BIOL2309 2024-06-16 16:07:22 +0000 UTC
Absolutely phenomenal professor, he works extremely hard to make sure students understand exactly what he's looking for in every project completed. Grades fairly and is very passionate in his field. He is always happy to converse and learn more about students' personal lives and works hard to make the classroom an enjoyable space. Great professor!BIOL2309 2023-04-17 20:38:11 +0000 UTC
Great prof! Cares about his students and is willing to help and answer all of the millions of questions first-time bio lab students have. Tries really hard to balance work out for students so that it is not all piling up at the end of the semester. Also super friendly and approachable; he's great to chat with and has an interesting background!BIOL2309 2022-11-26 01:28:01 +0000 UTC
