Reviews of professor Ryan Schmidt

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
For Health Physics we had NO HOMEWORK, only group labs in class that are based on completion, not correctness. All the quizzes are open note and open book. The quizzes seem really hard but trust me you will get an A or at least a B bc he is such an easy grader. As long as you were on the right track for a question you will get credit for it.

Great teacher. Physics can be a very difficult course but he does his best at explaining and using examples that actually make sense. My quizzes were all in person and completely open note. Not super heavy on assignments. Very flexible and understanding teacher. would 200% take this course again

Fabulous professor with clear grading requirements. More than willing to help students. Answers emails very promptly. Not too hard on grading and offers test corrections for half-back credit.

Dr. Schmidt is a fantastic professor. Physics itself is a very hard class, but he is very patient, calm, and accommodating. I highly recommend to NOT take this class in the summer, as the condensed version is a lot of work. He always brought in treats for exam days and let us make up our missed exam questions for half points. Take his class!

The textbook is optional but not needed as Professor Schmidt writes his own notes that summarize the key concepts of the chapter, and the homework is submitted via blackboard from questions he pulls from the textbook that best reflect the learning objectives. Extra credit is available.

Ryan is a very down to earth awesome professor He is always willing to accommodate and help in anyway he can (he gave us his cell incase we needed to contact him for help, not many professors will do that). He knows his stuff and tries to make the class engaging(such as online sim labs) If you do bad in his class its because you didn't ask for Help
