Pretty useless. Pointless course readings.

Avoid Schandorf like the plague if you are in Engineering & want time to do something cool like join a design team & do sth amazing like build a prototype of a robot. Design team is 10-12 hrs per wk & you get fantastic hands-on experience. BUT, Schandorf doesn't care. Selfishly monopolizes your time by demanding many draft rewrites & unnecessary readings.

Schandorf relishes opportunity to leverage power over students by making them run around like hungry chihuahuas hunting for food scraps by making them re-do MANY successive draft proposals under the guise of learning. Real reason: he likes to sit back & smirk while watching students sweat like pigs while compiling another unnecessary draft proposal

Avoid. Michael Schandorf's Words 150 class is for science & STEM students. These students are eager to start prestigious & lucrative careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, computer science, engineering in Silicon Valley etc...and don't really care about Words 150. Schandorf knows this & tries to force students into making Words 150 their top priority class by deliberately overloading students with an overwhelming amount of busy work to occupy all their time so they can't focus on the class that they are actually interested in such as chemistry, biology, physics, applied science....the courses that will actually move them forward into their desired careers.
