Professor Schueller cares about her students and wants them to do well. She provides helpful feedback and grades fairly. During finals/midterms she would bring us treats, which is so sweet. Overall a great professor and a great class, although the workload can be quite challenging, especially towards the end of the semester.Rate My Professors ↗
We love Jeanne!Rate My Professors ↗
Prof. Schueller is just SO sweet, empathetic, kind, and caring, and it's reflected throughout the course. She's flexible with deadlines, great at answering questions, and makes the class quite enjoyable. Not an abundance of homework but a few large projects/papers. Very doable. Go to class, participate, do the work, and you're golden.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof Schueller is excellent just like the other UW German professors. The final book is difficult and the test can be hard so be prepared for that. The homework assignments were also tedious (yet easily graded) and took way longer than they should have. Attendance is mandatory and is worth around 15% of your final grade.Rate My Professors ↗
Super caring and understanding prof! Assignments weren't difficult, but often took a lot of time and reading. Final wasn't hard as long as you paid attention in class and read the book. Excellent feedback and grading was fairly easy, but many of the assignments were due on Saturdays and the lectures could be boring.Rate My Professors ↗
Mid-semester assignment worth 9% of the grade was left ungraded for a month and a half. On the final day of semester, I was notified that I missed a portion, and my grade dropped from an A to a B. Never had any clue that I had missed a portion and was given no chance to submit the part for some level of credit. Also awful at responding to emails.Rate My Professors ↗

Past student reviews · Jeanne Schueller
Jeanne Schueller was friendly and helpful in class, though one student found her attempts to spark discussion often led to awkward silence. Both reviewers described the homework as unnecessarily long, while one noted that tests were easy if you paid attention and the other called her a good grader if you tried.
