Comment:

Great professor. He's retiring after the 2008-2009 school year. Incredibly smart and well-spoken. Somewhat old-school teaching approach (mostly lecture, little to no discussion). There can be a learning curve to his classes but once you get used to his style, it's easy.

Comment:

Took Intro to the New Testament with him, and learned more than I possibly thought I could. Perhaps one of the best teachers I have ever had, as well as one of the most understanding. I was dizzy for an exam, told him I was grabbing something to eat downstairs so I could think, his response was: that is silly, come back later and take it.

He is the most amazing teacher I have ever had. Unbiased, speaks with conciseness and meaning, and is funny. I wish he were my grandpa.

You must take a Schmeichel class before graduating. His exams are tough, but if you take good notes and really listen (which isn't hard be/c he's so interesting!) you'll be fine.

Possibly the best professor on campus. Brilliant, kind, incredible lecturer, and endlessly helpful. What's great about this class is that he makes you love his subject as much as he does, and he isn't afraid to challenge his students. Couldn't ask for better!

It is *amazing* to listen to Dr. Schmeichel. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and very fair. He seems like a genuinely kind, down to earth person. I really recommend that you take his class (or classes!)
