She just reads off her powerpoints during lecture, which she posts online. Attendance is taken every class. Concept questions found on her tests are very random. Easy to get a B.

This class wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, given the reviews. Professor Schmidt tried to make statistics interesting, and I think she succeeded for the most part--I can't think of anything different I would have liked her to do. The iClicker extra credit actually made a difference in my grade, so I really recommend participating. Tests aren't easy, but they aren't impossible. It's true that you don't get a cheat sheet like Freeman's students do, but you do get a sheet of equations on the test, so you don't have to memorize everything. The final project sucks, but if you form a good group with a reasonable project, you'll do alright.

Jeff was fine as a TA. He was a little slow getting our papers back to us, but that was because he was TAing for a lot of labs, so it was understandable, if not ideal.

You have to take this class for the psych major, so suck it up and you'll survive. Good luck!

Though the class was not a fun experience, Professor Schmidt was actually a nice person. She was harsh, both on grading and lecturing, but at least she treated students in a acceptably reasonable way. I did learn something anyway.

She is not teaching anymore though.

I absolutely hated the teacher. She is condescending and the lectures are not very helpful. I eventually stopped going to class and taught myself everything the day before the test.

Professor Schmidt is a terrible teacher who makes an already challenging class that much worse. She is condescending and rude to her students, and adds nothing to the lecture that one couldn't get from reading the text.

RUN AWAY. This has been my least favorite class at the university and has singlehandedly killed my love for the psych department. Karen is awful, she does iclicker questions every class for attendance, counts down from the one minute mark during tests and if you don't have it in by the end of the hour, it's late (even if you were in line to hand it in), and her tests are TRICKY. I can't name a teacher I've ever had in the past who has made me hate the subject more than her. The lab sucks and the is pretty tough. I can't think of anything good about this class. Whatever you do, don't take it with Shmidt.

This class was much harder than 3005 in my opinion, the tests were very much like the homework problems so make sure you do them as practice. I actually lost the majority of my points on the multiple choice sections, as they can be very tricky. One exam grade can be dropped

exams are NOT as easy as PSYC3005 exams were. multiple choice questions can be tricky. make sure you do the HW problems before exams.

While Freeman puts up a hard exterior but really has a soft interior, Schmidt is the opposite. She is relatively straight-forward, but covers a lot of information and moves extremely quickly through her Powerpoints in lecture. On her tests, the conceptual multiple choice questions are very tricky - but for the computation sections, just do a practice or two (the homework really helps) and you'll be fine. Clicker questions every class to check attendance - counts for 6% of your lecture grade.
