It is so evident in Mike Schneider's sense of humor and excitement as he jumps from table to table (to demonstrate an aspect of globalization) that he truly values educating his students by sharing with them what he has learned in the world. He challenges and inspires students with the unique perspective he brings to the classroom through his own travels and education in Japan. Professor Schneider teaches us to never rely on surface-level answers, but to always push ourselves and ask questions-so that we leave his class itching to talk and think more about what just exploded in class.
