John Schmitt

This was overall a very good class, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who is pursuing physics even though it's not required. Prof. Schmitt has an old school but very straightforward teaching style. Frankly it requires a lot of note-taking, and it's important to pay close attention to the readings if you want to be most effective in this class. It wasn't easy but it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.

Schmitt is a wonderful professor who cares about his students. It’s impressive how well he understands/remembers what learning linear for the first time is like even though what he’s teaching must be like second nature to him.

Honestly, I really did not enjoy this course. It was probably the most boring math class I've been in. I believe this is more a function of Linear Algebra than it is of Middlebury or the instructor. ww
