    the lectures were really well put together and clear to understand. Schriver is a really kind instructor, who listened to student feedback and needs, often changing deadlines to accommodate technology issues, etc. His midterms were incredibly similar to his review sections

    Schriver is an amazing professor! His exams are very fair; the problems he does in class are reflective of what’s on the exams. As long as you do the homework and review the slides, you will do well in the class!
