Quiz every week - but they are fast and easy - just study a little and they are easy. There are a midterm and a final and couple of easy projects. I had no problems.

Comment:

Professor Schwartz is very a very knowledgeable person. However, as a professor I fell that he didn't care for his students. Midterm 30%, Final 30% and Paper 30%, quizzes 10%. The exams are open questions that you have to write and he is very hard grading and does not give feedback on questions wrong. Takes long to grade. I will not take him again.

Comment:

Great class, although not the easiest. The book is co-written by him, and it helped a lot. The material is not easy but the book gives plenty of examples that help you understand. There's a quiz for every chapter of the book, two short projects (a picture and a poster), and mid-term + final. Read and review the questions he provides and you'll pass

Comment:

WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED! Gives a study guide of 80+ questions, for a 5-6 question exam(final and midterm). He was rude, unfair when it came to grading, and falsely grades. I had to show him that I answered a question correct and he only granted a quarter of the points that I deserved. Never again will I take a class that he teaches!

Comment:

The worst professor I've had. Rude and doesn't care about his students. His syllabus is set up to make his life easy when it comes to grading not for the benefit of the students. The class its self could have been enjoyable but he takes all the joy out of learning. One bad grade is all it takes to fail you, this C will now be my lowest grade.

Comment:

Hes passionate about the subject and does understand it very well. The quizzes are multiple choices, you have to get at least a 70% then it counts as an A. However, the quizzes are only worth 10% of your grade. I have always gotten As and Bs at FIU but I might just get a C in this class. Doing bad on the final/midterm drops your grade ALOT.

Comment:

This professor has very easy guidelines. The only reason people have found it hard is because the A wasnt handed to them or was effortless. One quiz a week - unlimited attempts!! Solely meant to keep you up to pace. A midterm, a short 700 word paper, and a final. The end!

Comment:

The only good thing about this professor is that he wrote the book you need to use for his class so he knows what he's talking about. Other than that, he is not fair when grading, you get a quiz every week, study and they will be easy, a midterm, a final and project. Do yourself a favor and don't take him if you're avoiding headaches this semester.

Easy class. just follow the syllabus and you get an A. Actually, my grade came to a B+, but he gave me an A anyway. The best way to get him to like you is to ask him a question about something about the course rather than just like syllabus stuff.

Quizzes and writing assignment were ok. Midterm and final - tough grader. Wasn't the nicest when discussing why he graded the way that he did. Wish he would've been more clear on instructions.

Easy class. only have to get 70% on quizzes and they count as 100's. Plus you can take them again. Exams are open book, so you just copy the answers out of the textbook. I never had to do any of the reading, and the other projects took like 5 minutes to get A's on.
