Spring 2025 - Overall, the content of this class was extremely relevant and interesting, the tests were reasonable and the weekly workload was light, but the course felt very self-guided due to the sheer breadth of content and Professor Schmitt's lecturing style. The other reviews accurately point out how Professor Schmitt teaches with a degree of detachment. She is a very thorough lecturer, however she at times makes comments that indicate her disinterest in teaching. However, this should not dissuade you from taking her class, as she is a fair grader and offered lots of extra credit. Since lectures are also recorded, it is easy to skip and fall behind, but the course is very manageable if you can still keep up with the material each week. The course was based on discussion worksheets (for accuracy, only 7 counted, one got dropped), weekly tutorial worksheets (for completion, only 7 counted, one got dropped), iClicker lecture participation (only the first 20 counted, the rest got dropped), making your own cheat sheets for the exams (for completion), two midterms (about 12% each), and one final (about 23%). She offered several opportunities for extra credit, such as submitting the course evaluation and making a meme about the course content. This was a really interesting course and Professor Schmitt did a good job breaking down the concepts and fairly testing our understanding of them.
