This was a fun class!

Brother Schmidt has honestly been one of my favorite professors in my college career. He is very smart but not in a in your face way. I loved learning from him. I couldn't believe I was taking a Beauty and Creativity class when I signed. I came away with a love for the humanities and a greater appreciation for art. That's a good professor.

He is one of my favorite teachers since Ive been here. He gives great insights in his Book of Mormon class and teached you greek and latin meanings to certain words which makes the class and learning interesting. Take him! Class is pretty easy ;)

Good teacher and has good insights. Spent time working for the Catholic Church and is well-versed in Greek and Latin. The class can get dry and boring though. Sort of monotone and likes to talk a lot. Assignments are mainly outlines of a certain chapter in your reading block; several 700 word reflection papers; 2,000 word midterm and final papers

Brother Schmidt is a fine professor. His class is easy and he is really helpful. However, he only really gives a superficial treatment of the Book of Mormon so if you are looking for more insightful classes take somebody else.

He tended to be very repetitive, he also had us sit in assigned seats which was very irritating. I personally did not enjoy him as a Book of Mormon teacher.

If I could recommend any professor to you- it would be Bro. Schmidt. He is realllllly weird, but hysterical. His class is simple. Just show up- a few online quizzes that are right out of the text book. Test questions come directly from his jeopardy questions the day before the test so make sure that's what you study. An easy A, just show up.

Brother Schmidt is the Bomb!!! His class is awesome!!! All the class is quizzes straight out from the text super easy, and his tests are answers from the Jeopardy games the day before. I looked forward to going to his class everyday!! Take his class!!!!

He give a great insight into the New Testament that I feel you won't get from any other teacher. He is understanding and is very humble. I loved his class and would love to take another class from him. The expectations were clear and there were no surprises. He also makes some pretty good jokes.

Bro Schmidt's class was so easy! If you are looking to get an A take his class. His assignments are really easy and he gives you 2 free homeworkpaper passes. He is pretty strict about attendance, but he allows you to also use the pass for missing class. As long as you occasionally volunteer to read, or answer questions, you will get an A.

Great teacher, but a little socially weird. Really helps you understand the arts in a fun way. You will get an A as long as you participate (answer questions in class) everyday and do the homework. Good amount of reading, but it's easy. All his exams are based on 90% of his study guides, study them before exams and you will do fine. I learned a lot

I thought Bro. Schmidt would be tough, but he's a pretty chill guy. Interesting class. He gives good feed back as well.

At first he seems exceptionally conservative, but as he gets comfortable with the students, he becomes this super awesome professor. He demands class participation, and that is actually essential for this class's learning. He knows what he is teaching.

This class was okay at best. Brother Schmidt does not know how to have or direct any meaningful discussions. I felt like it was a repeat of freshman year of seminary. I wish we got deeper into topics and he didn't ask such surface level questions. Everything seemed kind of forced and it wasn't a fun class and I didn't learn much. He is super nice.

Brother Schmidt is a goofy guy. His organization was a bit scattered and sometimes confusing but you get the hang of it. If you are shy and don't like to talk don't take this class! Participation (answering questionsspeaking up in class) was a huge part of the grade. Attendance was also heavily graded.

Brother Schmidt is awesome. If you can take humanities from him I would definitely recommend it. He keeps class interesting and he has plenty of weird stories to share. If you try at all for an A you'll get one. Brother Schmidt is super understanding and helpful.

Brother Schmidt is the best religion teacher EVER. Super easy grader, Just be sure you put the effort forth and actually DO your assignments. I felt the spirit as he gave lectures. definitely recommend.

Bro. Schmidt's class has made me think about changing my degree. I have loved learning about the arts, music, and photography! he makes class super fun and his tests are SO EASY because he has an amazing strategy for test review. It includes jeopardy and basketball. Seriously this guy is crazy and hilarious. I would suggest sitting in the front.

This class requires your own effort but it's for your own good. Readings and paying attention in class are very important. Test reviews will save your life. His tests are easy though and half of it is taken in a group. He also gives out 2 hope cards that will replace your score on anything. Easy A, but you have to be willing to put in the effort.

Bro. Schmidt as a humanities teacher is great. Basically show up, participate, and keep track of homework (generally pretty easy, just be aware of the big things) and you'll do fine. His demeanor in class is marvelous.

This teacher is pretty dang awesome. The only thing that was holding him back was the subject which was Humanities Intro. I wish he could elaborate on it more. But he made me laugh and if you just come to class you should get an A

Bro. Schmidt was a funny guy. He loved giving out extra credit using Yoda bucks, which was odd yet entertaining. He told interesting stories, and I really liked the class. It was very little work outside of the classroom. There were just a few short readings. The tests were super easy. You just have to be able to recognize specific art and music.

So funny! Great sense of humor and makes the arts interesting. Overall, he'll give you a class worth what you're paying for to take it and make it fun all in the same. Participation matters but so long as you show up you're guaranteed to pass pretty easily. He's also really good at giving solid study guides and makes it fun in class with jeopardy.

He is very understanding of his students and strives to help them achieve their goals. He is lenient and understand that you only need to learn the basics since it's a foundation class. He also really knows his stuff. I would definitely take him again.

If you do the work, participate, and read, you will get a good grade. His lectures are fun and change every day.

One of the best teachers I've had! He really cares about his students and wants them to get an A. TONS of extra credit that can pull you up a full grade. He is hilarious in lectures and tells the best stories. He prepares you well for each exam, practically giving the answers.

Brother Schmidt is as caring as a professor can get. I probably will never appreciate art, music, etc. but even though this topic isn't my favorite, I still enjoyed class. If you are an introvert don't take this class. This class is as fun as you make it. If you hate Humanities take it from Bro Schmidt he makes it fun.

It took some time for me to warm up to Bro. Schmidt, but once I did I really started enjoying class. He can get a bit distracted and go off topic, but he's really interesting and knowledgeable. Easy grader. You can tell he cares about students. Play piano in his class!!!

Brother Schmidt is a very caring teacher and wants his students to succeed! The class is laid out well, and the assignments requirements are clear. He knows a lot about ancient languages, and often refers back to those when teaching the content. He really encourages class participation and is all around great.

Brother Schmidt is such a great teacher!! He gives out TONS of extra points in class, so many that many of us did not even have to show up for the final or write the final paper. He is very knowledgeable and his lectures are interesting. The work is minimal, just prep assignments and a few papers every few months. I would definitely recommend him.

Take Brother Schmidt if you want to edify your mind. I think he was the kind of guy who always cared more about learning than he did about grades. So what if his tests are really hard, he gets you excited about Greek and History so much that you will be stoked to take the test.

Brother Schmidt is super smart and really kind. However he is a mess when it comes to iLearn and I can't even start to rant on the syllabus. Anyways, he wants you to learn and become the best you can be. He also has fun classes.

If Will Ferrell and Max Prado had a kid it would be Brother Schmidt. Love this guy. He goes into awesome details about Greek and makes dope connections that you wouldn't think about with the gospel. He's written books and works with BYU on document translations. You do easy outlines every class and get "hope cards" to make up HW and absences.

I love Bro. Schmidt! He is hilarious and an overall goofy guy. I would highly recommend taking his world religions class, I learned a lot of things through his entertaining classes. He cares more about learning then grades, so it is not too hard to get an A in this class. He is also very smart and knowledgeable but not intimidating.

Brother Schmidt was awesome! He is such a nice teacher- he really cares about his students. He gives out hope cards all the time, and the outlines due for each class only take about 30 minutes. I would take him again if I could!

Brother Schmidt is an awesome teacher. He knows so much about the gospel and has great insights about everything. He makes class entertaining and fun. There is a little bit of homework due before each class but very manageable. Highly recommend!

Brother Schmidt can be scatterbrained at times, but his tangents are part of his charm. He has real expectations of you--do your work, and do it well. If you think you deserve an A just because you can breathe, you won't do well. Brother Schmidt is VERY willing to work with you, but you have to be human about it--no lame excuses. tl;dr Great prof.

Brother Schmidt is super knowledgeable about Attic and Roman cultures and languages, and it is worth taking any class he has. His classes are comparatively difficult (but BYU-I classes are pretty easy), but that's because he is excited about the subject matter and wants to see students succeed. If you value work, you'll love his classes!

Brother Schmidt is very friendly and a great professor! Despite what a few other reviewers have said, he clearly doesn't pick favorites--he is simply not willing to work with students that don't do their part. If you are diligent, you'll easily pass. That said, his workloads can be heavy--but this was Greek, so that's to be expected.

Professor Schmidt is one of the most kind people I have ever met. He has an amazing testimony and truly loves the gospel. He has such a sweet spirit and you can feel that in the classroom and outside of the classroom. I would definitely take a class from him again.

Honestly, at first, I thought he was pretty full of himself, bragging about his accomplishments and all that. But time revealed that he was actually a very kind and sweet man who really cares about your learning and your success in the class. He also REALLY knows his stuff. Would definitely recommend him for Christian History!

Gives a lot of papers and readings to do, but as long as you stay on top of them you'll be fine. Make sure you're paying attention for hope cards, and he usually does class reviews before exams. Exams are really easy if you've been paying attention, but you can skate by and still get a decent grade.

My testimony was strengthened greatly after I took Brother Schmits class and I loved all of the discussions we had. Personally I found that I got more out of the classes when I did them in person. So while online is available for use I highly recommend going to the class in person.

I took Greek 101 and Greek 102 from Brother Smith. He is a very nice professor and knows that Greek can be hard, so he always tries to help in class. He is a very generous grader. You will get an easy A for just attending class and submitting homework. All the homework to submit is reviewed in class before submission, so go to class.

You can tell Brother Schmidt loves teaching. He tries his best to make the class interesting and entertaining. You have to do an outline every class, but it isn't so bad

I took Humanities from him before my mission, then after my mission I took his religion class AND HE REMEMBERED ME. The guy cares about his students. He expects effort, but he's a smart guy and answers questions. He's also super nerdy funny, ask him about his band.

One of my favorite professors I have ever had. I wish to take him much more!

He is a very kind man and he knows his stuff. I took REL351 from him and had a blast learning about the different religions in the world and how we are all basically trying to do the same thing: come closer to God. He's a great teacher, is very smart and does a good job.

One of my favorite professors ever, really nice guy who knows a lot about the gospel

This is his first semester teaching HUM 201, so he's been using another professor's course materials. Some things have been confusing because he's never taught the course before, but I can tell he's trying his best and he works with students about grades. I believe the next time he teaches HUM 201 it will be much better. Super kind and smart guy.

I was shocked by the negative comments. He is a dry lecturer, the epitome of a nerd but in all the best ways. Maybe the smartest religion professor and if you are going to take him Christian History is the way to go. His own textbook is great and I did not find him ideologically at all, he was very respectful of other religions. Hugh Nibley-esque

One of the smartest people on campus. His courses are a lot of work - but it is rewarding and never pointless. If you value truth and are willing to work to find it - Take this professor! All his courses are enlightening and offer value.
