Reviews of professor Margaret Schmitz

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I learned a lot from Margaret and became a better writer because of her harsh grading; she always elaborates on her reasoning when asked. She appreciates effort, and will work with you to improve. Its always better to be actually interested in the topic she is teaching, otherwise itll be impossible to get through. Ive taken 3 of her courses.

Literally the absolute worst. Her lectures are ALL images & you have to really listen to her to understand the content shes teaching. Grades based off OPINION rather than FACT sometimes & will most def take off unnessecary points for grammatical errors when the content you submit is solid. She takes herself WAY too seriously & is very uppity.

This Professor acts as like they're an Art and English professor. Clearly not the ladder, but enough to remain full of herself. You'll be swamped with projects and will have short quiz test period times, i.e. 3 days. Also, this professor pushes an extreme progressive agenda and forces you to write about it on Tumblr. Look at previous reviews too.

I loved Margaret so much she's easily one of my favorite teachers at MIAD now. She's so sweet and is always receptive and helpful when you ask questions. The class is mainly comprised of lectures, but Margaret always makes them fun and engaging. There's a midterm and final exam but they're both open book open note so they're not a worry.

Margaret is SUPER knowledgeable and gives genuinely great lectures as long as you pay attention. Even then, at least for my classes, all lectures were recorded and uploaded. There is very little rote memorization required- all of our tests were open note. Lots of homework but none of it was busywork. Her class was a lot of effort, but well worth it

Lecture heavy class, which is to be expected. One online post a week, a couple quizzes, a couple exams. But these are online, outside of class, meaning you can use your notes. There is no reason not to do well in this class. There is an attendance sheet, so going to class is kinda mandatory unless you have nice friend to sign you in.
