Reviews of professor Mark Schmitz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The other reviews on this website do not seem fair. Currently I am taking an online accelerated (8 week) course of intro to environmental science. Dr. Schmitz is approachable and provides great feedback on assignments. He is also willing to discuss questions, and so far he is probably one of my favorite instructors that I have had at Concordia.

For Aquaponics Lab. Was one of the worst classes I've taken, workload was INSANE. most labs and lectures were taught by other professors and/or YouTube videos. Does not care about the mental health of students or other classes the are in. Gave questionable feedback on assignments. Overall just seemed like he would make things up as he went.

For aquaponics, this instructor provided an insane amount of homework. For our final: a report, presentation, an exam, and extra homework on top of an all-day field trip is OUTRAGEOUS. Our take-home quizzes often exceeded 20 pages, limiting my time to cater to other classes. I do NOT recommend this class to anyone who wants to keep their sanity.
