Reviews of professor Gudrun Schmidt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The lectures were so boring, her slides were good though. This is a mandatory class for a ton of majors so there's no way out of it really. The class itself is definitely doable, I did poorly though b/c the tests are kind of hit or miss. The way they explain concepts is challenging, I recommend buying the book and trying to follow from there.

Dr. Schmidt is very kind and lectures well. I found her easy to understand and helpful.

Love prof. Schmidt. She engages participation. You can ask her any question and she'll try her best to answer it. The only but is that questions are only answered after the class, which is understandable as she needs to cover all the material during class

Pr. Schmidt spreads engagement during class and is happy to answer questions after the class. She also is the only professor who takes notes on the slides and then posts them which is very helpful. Also whenever she spots that there are a lot of students without a background in a topic, she later posts slides with excessive amount of notes on them.

She is a very nice lady, but if you have the option of getting another professor, I would take it. Her lectures are incredibly boring and about 2/3 of students stopped attending after the first few weeks. Her teaching style didn't work for me but it might work for other people.

The lectures are next to useless. Prof Schmidt cannot use a microphone to save her life and makes frequent mistakes in example problems, like mixing up potential and kinetic energy. Take notes out of the textbook and save yourself some time. The labs have little relevance to what you are currently learning, so have fun.

Doesn't get too in depth in lectures but does lots of practice problems. She would go through slides quickly and almost always got out of class ten minutes early which was very nice. You will likely have to learn the concepts or why things happen outside of class but working through the problems helps with exam prep.

Lecture wasn't helpful at all. Study homework and that's all you need for the exams.

I definitely recommend Dr. Schmidt for CHM 115. I initially had Dr. Nash, but I could not follow what he was saying. I decided to attend her lectures, and they were ways apart. She genuinely wishes for the success of her students. If you are a note-taker, you will like her because she uses an iPad and writes extra information with practice problems
