Reviews of professor Michael Schmeltz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I would avoid taking any classes with this professor as he is not sure of the assignments he gives you. Unless you are willing to be a teachers pet in college, I advise you to steer clear from this professor. Schmeltz is a very tough grader, he will smile in your face, and then fail you at the same time. If you are late by 5 minutes, you will fail.

Attendance is mandatory through iclicker, weekly quizzes, very funny guy! Show up, participate, and you'll be fine. Would definitely take him again.

Class was tough but Professor did a good job. Everything in the class is very organized and straight forward, just gotta give the time to do the work.

The class started hard but did get easier as we got threw semester. Professor was open to feedback and very straightforward. Does expect a lot but it kept me motivated. I can say I learned a lot.

Vectors are disgusting, but the class was great - interesting! No textbook which saved me some $$

Dunno what other poster is talking about, the prof is good but yeah the class can be a little hard. The class takes a bit of effort but Im really enjoying the topic. I just hate how everything has to be online because of covid :(

Provides unclear instructions then gets disappointed when the class does not meet his expectations. Review session is him saying everything we went over might be on the exam. Test questions are worded to trick you. Overall, it does not seem like he enjoys seeing his students succeed. I have never written a review but wow, I am so disappointed.

Tough but fair. A bit of reading, but I expected it in that class. All directions and expectations were clear though so I appreciated that.

I enjoyed this class as it was not super fast paced and you had time to read the material. The professor seems a little intimidating at first, but is a good professor who wants you to try your best. Ask questions, study, and read a lot to understand the concept of the class and you should get by.

Schmeltz is very knowledgeable and helped a lot on our policy memo. The real disconnect was between the lecture and activity section - that needs some work. This Professor was great for our group project and provided a lot of good feedback.

He is great! Really shows students he cares about them and willing to help them understand the material and actually explains step by step. No homework, a group assignment every week (as long as you put in the effort he gives you full credit) 3 exams and 2 class assignments that are actually fun and easy! Exams can be a bit tough so just study!
