He's tough but he's fair, pay attention and keep good notes and you'll be fine. Follow the textbook as well since he can go out of order. If you fall behind you may be in trouble, but he's definitely willing to help.

Hard if you do not read textbook- So read the textbook and get the study guide for it and actually do the study guide. If you do that then it is an easy A.

Comment:

Worst class I have taken so far in college. Dont take it you will work your ass off and chances are you'll fail anyway. Schmidt purposely tries to confuse students he flys through all the material and makes you feel like a complete dumbass whenever you ask a question. Tests are as hard as he can possibly make them and designed to trick you.

Comment:

HORRIBLE TEACHER! A complete ***whipe who would rather call you dumb in class than help you understand. When handing out the test he makes rude comments about your grade loud enough for the whole class to hear. By FAR the worst professor I have ever met. If he didnt have Tenor I would do everything in my poser to get him canned.

Comment:

I had him back in 96...nothing has changed. Would spend an hour going over a problem and then scrap the whole thing at the end of class and say the numbers were all wrong and forget about all the notes you took.

Comment:

Read the book, take loads of notes in class, and try to participate. You might want to brush up on algebra, too. It really does help. Oh, and don't sleep in class. He hates that. Overall, not too hard to get through if you do the work.

Comment:

He doesn't really teach he just rambles about one problem in every class and then when he gives you the test he hasn't covered half of the material on it. Read the text and the study guides in the notebook and you'll be fun, though its easier said than done.

Easily one of the worst teachers. Takes pleasure in confusing his students (and himself) and his tests are impossible. Avoid his classes whenever possible.

Comment:

If you know what you're doing, he's pretty good but expects too much from micro econ students. You basically have to teach yourself and hope for the best. He also likes to put you on the spot if he has an inkling that you don't know the answer. I never dre

He is by far the worst professor i have ever had. Half of the time he confuses himself and leaves students wondering more about his sanity than the problem on the bored. avoid his classes at all costs.

Comment:

Very poor professor who has tenor which is why he can't get fired. By far one of the worst college professors I have ever seen who doesn't pride himself on having the students in his class succeed. He honestly would rather see them suffer.
