John Schmitt

The course grade is 90% tests and 10% homework, so it is decently challenging to get a good grade in. The tests are certainly fair and doable, but his grading certainly isn't easy. If you mess up a test question, you will normally get a 3 or 5 out of 10 for that question. With only around 6 questions, scores can go down quickly. With that being said, Schmitt is such a great professor and an awesome person to take a class with. It is hard and there is a lot of work, but you learn the material. He is super nice and always cracking jokes in class. Definitely recommend him. If you want the A, take it with Camrud, but if you want to learn the material take it with Schmitt.

Though I often struggled in this class, Prof. Schmitt did a great job teaching. I feel like I learned a lot and his office hours were always helpful. He is a kind soul and I really appreciated this class!

I had Professor Peterson. He was a very enthusiastic professor. He is always willing to help and explain topics every thoroughly. However, his exams are tough. He will throw in some very difficult problems every exam. However, the final exam can replace the lowest test grade, which is pretty useful if you do not do well on your first two tests.
