Great Anatomy & Physiology Teacher. He makes classes fun and humorous. He offers a good amount of extra credit. If you are passing at the end of the quarter you are not required to take the comprehensive final! If you are not passing, the final replaces 4 lecture exam grades which can really boost your grade. Challenging class nomatter who teaches!

Super tough prof! I found him very easy to work with (maybe because I couldn't stand one of my other profs this quarter.) If I had questions, he was very good about answering them. No problems at all. He even had a sense of humor! That's hard to come by in the bio dept at SCC!

Yes, hardest teacher at SCC, but, his willingness to help and his office hours are impecable!

lots of studying required

Great instructor! It's amazing i actually found a teacher who teaches. Shocking I Know! He is very intelligent and knows what he is talking about. tests are hard could lighten the load a bit. Overall i recommend him if you want to learn and not just pass the class. If you want to just pass take Jade Bost if you like to waste money.

Easiliy the hardest prof. at SCC, but you will be extremely well prepared for future classes. You can't just get by by menorizing definitions you actually have to know the stuff.

Awesome teacher! very helpful makes everything clear! you learn spoo much! his test are very hard so Studying is mandatory! Well worth it!

He was very helpful and try to helpful and fairness to all students.He will help you go through this class.I found out he likes to teach!!!

Very thorough teacher, has study guides that are right from the lecture, and tests include half of the study guide questions! You start out with 50% of the answers! You definitely need time to study, be able to go to the school during open lab and don't miss any labs! He is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and fair. Extra credit options also!

Test doesn't have any multiple choice, all you have to do in writing and explaning. Qwestions were confusing. He had one 5points extra credit to go to SFCC to hear Brest Cancer talk, so if you can't do it you cant get that extra credit. And he had 1 more extra credit(very difficolt), so I didn't bother with it.

Biology 241 and 242 are very hard classes no matter who you have. Schmidt's tests are not multiple choice. I felt that this was actually a plus, because you could get partial credit for just getting the increase, decrease, no change part right. I actually felt like I learned something in his class. I definitely recommend his class!!

Same rating, different class; very organized, knowledgeable and clear. The teacher is not hard, the material is - I've heard the same about A&P everywhere. Tests are written, not MC; short keywords are all that is needed. Put in the time (it is a lot) and you can do it.

Dr. S is a great professor. He takes time to make sure you know where you stand grade wise and what you need to do throughout the quarter to get the grade you want. Tests and material are very difficult but if you put in the time you can get A's. He offers a ton of extra credit opportunities and makes the class entertaining.

Schmidt is a great teacher and makes himself available to you if you have questions. It's a college anatomy class so no, it's not easy but he gives you the material needed to succeed. He provides study slides for the lab exams and does study questions everyday before lecture starts to ensure you understand the material!

This is the second part of a 3 part series. The first part was tough but was all multiple choice. This is much tougher. He believes (rightfully so) that students must be able to understand AND communicate material. Thus test format is typically 2 sentence technical answers to hypothetical scenarios! If you're serious about learning he is the guy!

Attending class is a must! Dr. S has excellently outlined PowerPoint notes that detail what could be on a test, but there is a LOT of content to cover very quickly, so try and show up, it makes it easier. Labs are typically interesting and can help you grasp things in lecture, even though there are separate tests for the two.

LOVED Dr.s's class, the way he designs exams really forces you to understand the material. His tests are challenging, and they require you to think conceptually using the knowledge you acquire from his lectures. Be sure to take advantage of the study guides, practice exams and extra credit, and try to stay ahead of content. Overall great teacher!!!

Best professor I've ever had. He doesn't make it easy, but he has a lot of office hours and answers emails really fast. Use the study materials, put in the work, and don't be afraid to ask for help and you'll do well. He has a reputation for being hard but it's because he wants his students to really learn the material, not just regurgitate it.

Awesome professor. Course is heavy but he tells you exactly what you need to know for tests. He looks for ways to give you points on tests, not take them away. Always available outside of class and is really easy to get along with. Very respectful and intelligent.

Dr. Schmidt is by far one of the best professors I have had at SCC. He is very quick to answer e-mails, gives clear instructions, and wants each student to succeed. This is a tough class, and he is a tough grader, but you will learn a lot, and find that although Dr. S is tough, he is very nice and helpful, especially if you are willing to work.

Dr. S is a hard, but fair teacher that prides himself in educating his students. Yes, the content load is heavy, but not so much that commitment to the learning process won't see you through. Very accessible outside of class and holds students to a high standard easily achieved. Textbook is more of a guide than necessary.

Dr. S is the best professor I have had at SCC in my 3 years of being a student here. He is very knowledgeable about what he teaches, and expects his students to really know the material. The great thing is, he tells you exactly what to do to in order to succeed. DO THE STUDY GUIDES! They are the key to doing well on the lecture tests. Work hard!

He is the best professor Ive ever had. He really loves teaching and if youre willing to learn then hes willing to teach. Yea his tests are difficult but he has a practice exam for every test and many of the study guide questions are on the exam. Theres no reason not to get an A. Hell sit down with you all day if you need help.

He is super nice, and he explains homework if you don't understand it. Tests were hard, make sure you really study for them and watch the lectures. Do the study guides, they really help and several of the questions are on the exams. The labs were fun and relevant to the material.

Dr S made a difficult course enjoyable and manageable. He is clear in his expectations, helpful outside of class, and respectful yet lighthearted during labs. He is amazing and I actually wanted to go to class. Although the material is difficult he makes it less overwhelming and is always happy to help if you don't understand something

A&P 2 is a hard class. It just is. Andy does an awesome job of making it as fun and interesting as possible. It is still really really hard! However there is just no avoiding that and his organization and clear grading criteria make it as straight forward as possible.

He gives you everything you need to succeed that most teachers don't give you. He gives plenty of opportunities to improve on assignments before turning them in. He seems a little mean at first but he's really just straight forward and wants everyone to not only succeed, but actually know and understand that material.

Andy is great! The course material is TOUGH but he tries to make lectures are fun. The tests are hard and there is a lot of lectures to watch. He is honest. Gives feedback on all assignments/tests. If you are willing to put in the work, he is willing to help. Don't take his class if you don't want to put forth effort to actually learn/want easy A

This course is undoubtedly challenging, yet it's well-organized, with Dr. Schmidt's requirements being clear and straightforward. It's advisable not to enroll in too many other courses simultaneously, as this one requires significant time and effort. Additionally, the course offers a great opportunity to improve your time management skills.

This professor moves very quickly and the exams require a lot more attention as they are built to make sure you've learned everything. You will have a large amount of work; I would recommend taking less credits while you have this class. His lectures are great; his delivery keeps you engaged. He's very good about answering your questions quickly.

The people who complain about this professor have a poor work ethic. Yes, this class is hard but the class is very very organized. His tests are tough because he expects you to answer thoroughly, but he gives you the materials to prepare and succeed. He has thorough study guides, videos on how to study for exams, and is willing to answer questions.

Absolutely amazing professor who knows his stuff! Tests are difficult but he gives you a study guide with 90% of the questions on the test and he will go over them with you. He will also look over labs before you turn them in. You will have to put in the time but if you do you can absolutely be successful. He also gives extra credit (a ton in 242)!

Jonathan was one of my favorite teachers. Even though English is my second language, he was always supportive and quick to answer my questions whenever I needed help. Anatomy is a challenging class, and having a teacher like Jonathan made it much easier to understand.

Dr. Andy is one of the most caring instructors I've met. I've taken all of my courses online for the past year and a half and this is the first professor I felt connected to. Yes, his class is hard but it's bio 242 it's gonna be hard. To make up for it he gives tons of extra credit and is ALWAYS open to help and wants you too succeed.

Definitely a hard class but Dr. Schmidt is great. A lot of dad jokes and explains things clearly. Very responsive and lots of time to meet if needed. No book, everything is tested from the lecture videos and study guides. His testing is more comprehensive, so you really need to be able to explain concepts. Tons of extra credit to cushion tests.

He provides study guides that reflect his exams word for word, and hands out a ton of extra credit that will nicely cushion your grade. There is no way you can cheat in this class as he is very strict and tests are proctored, but if you put in the time you can really comprehend the material. Have good time management and dedication to succeed!

Anyone who rates Dr. S. poorly lacks the intelligence to call themselves a college student. He gives you everything you need to learn the material and do well in class. He was great.

Passing this class w a 4.0 is very possible, but you have to be VERY commited. I recommend taking advantage of office hours, he was always available, helped me with anything I needed clarification and would gladly explain anything. The exams are SO hard, they are back to back, almost an exam every week. pulled 9+ all nighters, gives a lot of ec too

I really enjoyed having Dr. Schmidt as a professor and am a little confused by some of the lower ratings. But, I did notice that a lot of students in the class had intellectual difficulty. Many were actually of very low intellectual ability. That's putting it nicely. It's a community college. Not a real university.

If you don't have self discipline or have a strong drive, you may feel this class is impossible. If you want it, you can do it, and he'll help you get there. Some feel he's unfair, and I'll agree that the class can be overwhelming, but it's all for the best. I've come out the other side a far better student.

I am a nursing student in a BSN program, and I still feel very fortunate to have learned from him. Nursing school is more challenging and complex than I ever expected, and I'm grateful for the strong foundation he helped me build.

I'm not sure why he has some bad reviews. I think he was great! He gives you lots of opportunities to come to his office hours and help with assignments before he grades them so you can get 100% on them. He gives you buffers with attendance in case you miss, and extra points if you don't miss a class. He also gives you extra credit opportunities.
