she is a hilarious lady, made us laugh. posts book on bb so u don't have 2 buy. gives take home quizzes which are not graded but good to see if u know ur stuff. no EC except for tree question on final. she tries to trick you (does this never, sometimes, always or usually happen?). mean to those who don't do well and tells them to drop the class.

She is one of the best professor in queens college. I took her for summer session. She makes everything so easy. There were 2 exams. midterm and final. 95% MCQs and a tree diagram. No book required. Everything based on the handouts she gives in class. Overall great professor. Easy A.

one of the best professors in QC. took her for summer LCD- 2 exams which were basically based of the quizzes she gave in class. If you come to class daily, she bumps up your grade by 1/2 a letter grade. For ex, A- goes to A. Tests are simple. Easy A. She is a gem!

Comment:

She is a lovely little old lady (old school new yorker); her grading criteria are easy and straightforward. Sometimes she babbles off-topic or tells stories, but she is sweet and caring. Show up to class and skim the reading/ class notes since the subject is dense (especially for summer). But overall good professor I recommend taking her.

Comment:

She has a book that can be purchased at the copy center, I used it close to tests to skim cause she does ask qs from the book. She goes over almost everything on the test during the lectures, so if you go to class, its not difficult to pass. She only grades based off the midterm and final. Overall great expirience in her class.

DO your part & you will pass. This is legal language, & a solid choice if you want to know about basics of the law. Very smart, compassionate & knows her material. No textbook, but requires a packet worth $20+, the rest of her sources provided online or in class. hard class, but doable, most esp she's an amazing professor! Reviewers are her exams!

Comment:

Professor Schmitt is very clear with what she wants: Come to class, read the textbook, and do well on her tests. I did not buy the textbook and did just fine. The class is boring, but very necessary. One midterm and final (not cumulative). The questions are quite difficult, so make sure to study really well. Other than that, she is a fine professor

Only graded on the midterm and final. Study the handouts she gives in class and you'll be fine, just show up to class. Didn't even buy the textbook. Lecture can be boring at times, but it's an easy B at worst if you show up. She boosts your grade at the end of the term if you have excellent attendance btw.

Everything about her is hilarious. Her personality, her style, she's a gem. During the summer session, she would give out a handout to serve as a basic outline for the class. Test material was taken straight from the handouts, nothing unexpected. Easy A from a knowledgeable and great prof.

Comment:

Summer 4W2- You're graded based on a midterm and final both of which are primarily multiple choice, except for the final in which you're expected to draw a tree diagram (1 more given for extra credit). The final is not cumulative. Study handouts. Reading from textbook is not necessary. Drops in a few jokes occasionally to keep class entertaining.

Comment:

Not an easy subject, but Pro. Schmitt breaks the material down. There is no extra credit, except for one question on the final exam. There is only a Midterm and Final, so you have to do well on them, However, if you study the handouts that she provide and practice the exercises you should do well. You must learn to do the tree diagram.

Comment:

Professor Schmitt is very knowledgeable in her field. I took her for the SS1, and the grade for the class is solely based on the midterm and final. The Midterm and Final can be a little tricky, but make sure that you study the handouts repeatedly because the exams are based on it. Beware that the only extra credit in the class is on the final exam.

Comment:

Pretty simple and straightforward lecture course. Overall, the class is kind of boring. Professor Schmitt is probably in her sixties and gives out lots of handouts that basically give you what you need to know for the midterm and final. In hindsight, I do not recommend purchasing the $35 packet assigned for readings; the handouts ensure you an A.

Comment:

This class is based on tests (breakdown wasn't given out). The material was fun to learn, it reminded me of a sociology class. The prof is funny and enforces coming to class. She gives out handouts but if you don't come to class you're just playing yourself. A textbook is needed from the queens copy center but I didn't use it much so it was a waste

Prof Schmidt is excellent; take her! The class covers how language relates to humans & it's place in the world. Her lectures are CLEAR, she writes all notes on the board, gives u handouts, explains all topics, & reviews each class. Her exams ARE TRICKY, making it harder to do well. No extra credit or curves. BUT, SHE IS SO FUNNY & CARING- so great!

Easy class. She gives out almost all of the information on handouts. The exams (midterm and final) were a bit more challenging than expected, but doable. She makes a lot of jokes. Some are funny, some aren't so it depends on your sense of humor. The class gets boring sometimes, but that didn't bother me so much. Everyone in the back just texts.

Comment:

She's really hilarious but sometimes makes insensitive jokes. No textbook. Just her reading packet which costs less than $50. Attendance is taken every class. Love texting in class? Don't even think about it. Overall, Professor Schmitt is a comedienne who makes Anthropology 104 very lively and interesting.
