Good class to take very easy. i dont know abt the teaching methods of her b'cos i was never in class for lectures. easy A if ur an engineering major otherwise lil bit of work.

Good class to take, recommended for all majors. Most of the works are to be submitted online. Showing up for lecture is almost not required, good to be there once in a while though. NO required text, she has all the material needed on the web. So, go ahead, this class is for everybody! This instructor is very flexible and helpful.

This professor is cool and easy. All work will be done online, and they're easy. Tests will also be done online, the good thing is no matter how many times you get it wrong you can do it over again. I would definitly recommend this professor to everyone.

Class is pretty boring. Most of the stuff she teaches will not be used for the exams/quizzes. The class is relatively easy. She does mock exams to help. There's also a lengthy research paper, but she's helping you along the way and gives you several attempts to improve. She is nice and is very willing to help. Easy capstone class!

if you want an easy A, definitely take this one! i barely went to class...lectures, homework, midterm, final are all online. term paper isn't bad. no textbook. it's impossible to fail this class. professor is nice & very helpful.

This class was very interesting and she gives you everything you need to do the quizes definately go to class. She is a great teacher.

no book need,very material is online,esay A,easy teacher, only 10 pages report which is easy to search online, no need to come to class, test are online and each test have 2 weeks to finish, so gather some other students together and check the answer before submit the test, easy A

Did not like her style in teaching MAE205. It was so damn frustrating because of her teaching methods. She doesn't help. She gives clues, but that takes forever to find out exactly what she means. She should give answers to the homework problems because it will take a toll if you do not know the exact codes. 10 homeworks and 3 tests (with notes).

She is a very nice teacher. She prepares you to what EXACTLY to expect on the exams. All of her lectures and tests are online. Just show up the week before something is due to find out important details in how the assignment will be graded and such. She is super cool and super CHILL! Do not procrastinate on the term paper! High possibility of an A+

Very easy-going teacher for an easy-going class full of exciting material. Whether you like Aerospace or not, you will definitely learn something. If you are non-ENGR, don't sweat; simply attend the class before every exam, as she basically gives you the answers for the mid-term and final. Mostly videos for first half of semester. Easy A.

chillest class,only went when she reviewed & to turn in assignments.EVERYTHING posted thru website, midterm & final done online.only go to class to turn in research paper, & 2nd part of final (short answer). class is the best class to take for the capstone if you're about to grad!take w/a friend and you're GUARANTEED an A!

This class isn't the easiest, but as long as you stay on top of the work, you should be fine. She is very helpful and understanding, but don't expect her to give you the answers when you're stuck.

Dr. Schmitz was very helpful. The work load is doable if you keep up the work. Every exam is cumulative on the written part so make sure you practice before each exam. On the programming part, it's usually over the material taught leading up to the exam (i.e. for loops). I got a C

You need to do the homework. It is essential since her quizzes are just like them. The whole class is just equations so make sure you don't mess up any numbers or variables. Good professor though. Recommended for this course

Attendance is not mandatory. Most of the assignments are online. Except for a 10 page paper thats not due until the final day of class which she gives you more than half of the semester to finish. Take this class to fulfill your GE. Easy A.

Very fun class, and great prof! 10 page paper, and she makes sure you can't leave it for the last minute. Easy grader. Midterm and final, mostly done online. Full points guaranteed on problems as long as you do the exams on time. A couple easy quizzes as well. No reason not to get an A.

Easy Class...Everything on-line no text book... Don't need to show up everyday...3 Quiz, all are on-line and multiple choice. No time period to complete the quiz..Watch a couple films, Grades very easy...Mid-term 10 Question very easy, gives a review session before the mid-term in class...piratically gives you the answers for the mid-term..Easy A!!

Great Class , Great Teacher...Easy class she will email you when you need to come to class before mid term and final. Watch a couple movies and don't need to buy text book or take notes. This is a paperless class, everything is online and the quiz are super easy multiple choice. Take her if you can.

Dr. Schmitz is an awesome instructor. She is very clear, organized, easy going and fun. TAKE HER! EASY A! (: I loved her.

Doesn't expect much ability/effort from students. Good side of this is easy A. Bad side: condescending toward all, whether you do your work or deserve it because you can't follow directions.

just follow her guidelines! I went to class but never paid attention unless she's doing a review. I literally didn't try at all..until the last two weeks..so I got a C but she gave me a B instead because I did well on my final paper! I wish I tried harder..it should be an easy A! start on your paper early..everything else should be a breeze..

Super easy capstone. All quizzes and assignments are online. The only thing that takes effort is the 10 page paper, but it's not difficult. A lot of times you just have to watch a video online instead of coming to class. I was worried to take this class because I'm not an engineering major, but I was fine. I would recommend this class.

this class is not easy and you have to work hard. her method of teaching will help you understand fully. there are 12 homeworks and 2 midterms and a final. as long as you stay on top of the class works you gonna fine. compare to other professors in department she is cool and very kind and nice, I would recommend her over all other professors.

Took 350 with her. She's really tough but a really great teacher!

She is one of the best professors in CSULB. Easy grader and she knows what she's talking about. Take her if you Can

Really great professor. Understands her field really well. Exams are tough but if you study enough you should be able to get an A.

Schmitz's lectures are based off powerpoints and working out problems. The test and quizzes aren't hard if you make an excellent cheat sheet and if you attempt to do the homework problems she assigns (not collected). You could use your book during testsquizzes but there isn't enough time to go flipping through the book to find the information.

ENGR370 was a BREEZE. Everything is posted online. The week before the tests she goes over every single formula used for each question... And you have unlimited tries (except the final). There is a 10 page paper due on the very last day of class. She walks everyone through it step by step. It would be hard to NOT get an A in this class.

DONT waste your time plagerizing the paper because she actually uploads it on the web to see if its clean. I had to retype the paper for the final after I was caught when I submitted the rough draft. anyways dont procrastinate like I did the night before to do it. BTW i WISH SOMEONE TOLD ME BUT SHOW UP TO THE TUTOR FOR THE HW/QUIZ THING TO GET A.

She is really good. She is really clear on what she wants from her students. Read the book and powerpoints, do the examples and homework ( not collected) and you are fine, you will pass with good grade. I would take her again for sure

She's a good lecturer, and this class is so easy. Gives you step-by-step procedures to solve computational problems and multiple choice problems can be answered from her lecture slides. Often goes to class late and dismisses it early. The essay is annoying because the class makes you lazy and you suddenly have to put in some effort.

Schmitz is an amazing professor. If you are hoping to really learn the subject TAKE HER because she teaches the subject amazingly well and teaches it in a way that is easy to understand. Her tests are very hard, but she structures the class in a way that allows you to be prepared. She doesnt collect homework but its absolutely necessary.

Simple class. Material is simply knowing a whole lot of equations. Spend your time making a good formula sheet and it's just plug and chug. She assigns homework, good to do just to familiarize yourself with the problems. She doesn't collect it. She will have random quizzes the days hw is "supposed" to be due. Good formula sheet easy A

Her lectures are good, a lot of derivations in class so just focus on the final equation. the class is ALL EQUATIONS. 6 pop quizzes and she drops the lowest one. DO THE HOMEWORK. Midterms are exactly like the homework, not difficult just tedious and u have to stay focused. no joke, this class is mainly equations and plug and chug.

Lectures are heavy with a lot of derivations, but just focus on the eq. She assigns hw but never collects them but they are the most helpful. Pop-quizzes are directly from hw and the test is very similar. She is always ready to help in office hours. Just listen in class, do the hw and this class is a breeze. Its a plug and chugg class.

Asynchronous during Covid, lectures are posted, you watch and learn at your own pace. Zoom meetings every other week for questions and quizzes. Tests are exactly like hw and example problems from the txtbook. If you are able to get ur hands on prev semester tests, will benefit you a lot! Easy A, just study and pay attention. There is a slight curve

Dr. Schmitz is very accommodating under COVID. Her videos clearly explain the topic and to emphasize understanding, she has us do meetings every Thursday to answer questions. This gives us the best of both worlds when it comes to asycn and sync. Her exams and quizzes are very easy. The homework and examples are harder.

The class is mostly prerecorded lectures posted to BB. However I found the Homework assignments most helpful to the class, since the topics are what is found on exams and quizzes. This class is all about plugging numbers into equations. Just a simple equation sheet for the exams and the quizzes is all you need to pass the class.

this class was so easy like im a psych major and i got an a lol her lectures were meh i was teaching myself most of the time but a lot of the tests and quizzes had unlimited attempts. there is a group project that includes a 10-page essay and slideshow but it was a breeze

The class is just formulas, the questions are normally pretty simple as long as you know which of many formulas you should use. No homework but quizzes and exams are based on the homework. Understand the homework well and you will pass. She curves a bit at the end. Quizzes are random but she will hint if they are coming. Study the homework!

This class is entirely effort based and doesn't take more than an hour of doing the work in order to secure an easy A. Professor is reasonable when grading assignments, even the group project, and she structures the class very easily. Would recommend, even to a non-engr major, as she even details exactly how to solve the problems in the exams.

Schmitz is an amazing professor for a challenging course. Tests were open book with an equation sheet. Practice problems aren't graded, but make sure you do them. She adjusts her teaching style to the material, and is always available at office hours. I had her for MAE 350 as well, and the courses are very different. Would absolutely take her again

She makes it very easy to pass if you put in effort. A few exams, several quizzes, and a group project broken into multiple parts will determine your grade but its super fair grading and requirements. Lectures definitely help with all of them and she takes attendance.

Exams are a simplified version of homework and quizzes. 2 exams and 1 final with around 10 quizzes give or take. Quizzes are online but studying for them is heavily advised regardless, as long as you know how to do the homework you'll be fine on the exams. Lectures are based on slides and she writes extra notes on the board, sit near the front.

Very organized lectures. 2 midterms and a final. 9 quizzes. She drops your lowest 2 quiz scores. Very generous with partial credit. Physical textbook is essentially required but its easy to find cheap. She's honestly a really good professor I would take her again.

class content itself is long and boring so not the profs fault. lectures have detailed powerpoints, exams are open book. doesn't curve a whole lot but has an adjusted grading scale. gives decent partial credit, no extra credit. decent prof

Ignore the last ratings. Prob a student who didn't put in any effort lol. She is amazing and grading is fair. Just do the homework problems and you can do well on the quizzes and midterms. Class is honestly chucking numbers into formulas. That's it.

Schmitz was amazing! You're only graded by quizzes, midterms, and finals. But she provides more than enough resources to do well on them (she posts handwritten notes + lecture slides + supplemental resources all on canvas). She assigns hw for no grade but doing them makes you do really well on exams. Hope to take her again for aerodynamics!
