MATH
I previously took Linear Algebra with Professor Schmitt. I really liked his Linear Algebra class, but I felt that he was less precise in his explanations for Multivariable. Often he would teach the most elementary, abstract part of an idea and leave the more precise aspects for us to read after class. That said, I think he was effective in creating interest in the topic, and I learned a lot of new things.

The Workload is not easy, if that is what you care about. I mean homework are easy to track and finish and they do not contribute too much to your final grade (about 20-30%). But exams are all in class and seriously designed, that is why this class is never easy. You have to have a solid understanding to everything covered in class to get an A or even any grade close. Reviewing will be a hard time as the whole class is relatively fast-paced like most "middle-higher level" math courses.

This course was very challenging but extremely rewarding. Professor Schmitt made it very digestible and fun with his lectures. The homeworks are always just a few problems, but can take a while to work through as they require a lot of thinking - working in a group and going to office hours is very helpful. The content is applicable to many fields but also contains a lot of beautiful problems and proofs. I'd highly recommend taking this course just to see Schmitt at his most passionate and funny.
