He doesn't curve, but the material in of itself is not that hard, and he explains the concepts VERY indepth and well. However, like posters below me have remarked, the midterms/finals are not very forgiving. Labs and hw were straightforward, but the midterms and finals were essentially all multiple choice with no partial credit given. With a midterm of 15 or so questions, screwing up on two questions puts you at a B. If you know your stuff, though, it really isn't that bad. If i recall, his averages were in the low 80s. He is also very helpful during OH. Take his honors seminar, too; you just do a small research project of your own choice and write up a paper - quite a cinch.

Class was a cakewalk until the final. It came out of nowhere, and I was someone who felt like I was on top of the material until I sat down and opened that final. Watch out.

Prof. Schoenberg is a great professor. He is very organized and the tests are reasonable. There are weekly homeworks and labs which just helps keep you on track with the lectures and readings. He is also very helpful in office hours. Take him for stats 13!
