He's such a good guy, as well as a good professor. He's just one of those professors that are down-to-earth and makes you feel comfortable when talking to.

Comment:

He's extremely helpful. If you have any questions he's always willing to help answer them. The only bad thing I have to say about this class is that he doesn't post any of his slides, and his powerpoints are very text heavy, so you are constantly rushing to type down whats on the board and do not get to listen to him speak. But overall, great prof.

Dr. Schmidt is an awesome prof. Super nice, super funny, and he actually cares about his students. Going to class is a must, however the textbook really isn't needed. His notes summarize all of the key points from the text and he tells you that anything in the book not covered in class is NOT testable. Overall awesome guy

Drifts off the point. Repeats himself over and over. Doesnt post SLIDES! talks super fast, so you are trying to copy the slides and take notes on what hes saying at the same time so you miss alot and cant learn anything. AWFUL. looks to t.a for technological needs. can he not turn a video on himself? wow.

His course was interesting. BUT it was hard! I read the text, went to classes and still did so bad on the midterms. The midterm questions are tricky and ambiguous at times. The TAs ar dump - they want the exact word (d.n understand synonyms). But overall the material was interesting. Nice guy - just wished his tests wasn't soo awful - lwred my GPA!

Dr. Schmidt is just awesome. I really enjoyed his lecture style -- while there was no notes posted online, but he spoke with confidence and prompted many interesting discussions. Watch for cute/hilarious catch phrases such as "Any questions, other than what time is it?" or "Lets take a healthy....17 minute break!". lol.

Comment:

the most painful nightclass i have ever had to attend. don't take this class if you don't need to - the assignments were ridiculous (and the ta's were NOT helpful, and i am a NICE PERSON!), the midterm was fair and exam was very precise. he's helpful but you don't learn anything useful until the end of the class - not worth it!!

Comment:

One of the most borning psychology courses I've had..It was almost physically painful to sit in his class and listen to him repeating himself over and over before he gets to a point. Rushed the material towards the end of the course. The midterm and final exam were VERY poorely designed. Don't take this class if you absolutely don'e need to.

Comment:

One of the worst professors I have ever had. Drifted from the point, couldn't explain things properly and refused to use available technology and on top of that made us frantically copy out numerous graphs while were were trying to understand what they showed. Absolutely one of the worst! Avoid him if you can!

Comment:

Yeah, interesting, but he guy takes FOREVER to say anything. He repeats himself and generally wastes time. We should have done 7 chps before the midterm but only did 4, so now we're going through material like CRAZY, spending 50 minutes on whole chapters, and not learning about the specifics. :<

Dr. Schmidt is one of McMaster's finest. He is interesting, intelligent, great teacher. READ YOUR TEXT as his lectures aren't thought-out. Talk to him after class/get involved. He envourages free & integrative thinking in-class and in assign.s. GREAT OVRL

Had a very odd sense of humour.....but definitely did a good job of keeping things very relaxed in class. A little too much into experiments which come across his desk.
