Mr. Schmaltz is an extremely intelligent and fair instructor. Keys to success in his classes are attendance, responsibility, paying attention, good note taking, and reading the textbook material. He clearly states his expectations and rules in his syllabus. This isn't high school!

Comment:
He is not a forgiving man. I had mono and missed 2 weeks of class. Most of my other teachers worked with me and were happy to help. Schmaltz, however, told me not to bother and drop out. And once he doesn't like you, good luck. His essay questions are pretty hard, and the assignments are very monotonous.

Study. Your. Notes. You'll do just fine. Pay attention and take notes. He gives you the essay question and study guides when he talks about them. Your essay will make or break your test score

Mr. Schmaltz is the man. He worked in congress with a democratic senator but turned republican when he inherited a buncha flow. Hes a good guy who knows what he's preachin.

Best teacher ever. I took him for all 5 of his classes he taught. All the tests are over your notes that he gives you on powerpoint. If you study, you will do great. Heck, he even gives you the essay questions a week or so before the exam. Very helpful, and very smart in government and history. He really makes class intersting. Take his class

You were mean and unclear. Learn how to use the computer so that you don't delete your students assgments. I didn't like your class you didn't help and thought that we are all stupid. You and Alice are the worst teachers I have ever had

I absolutely loved Mr. Schmaltz. I am not a big fan of history, but he really taught me so much useful info. that it's hard not to want to pay attention. Very detailed notes that make a great studying tool. He does give pretty difficult tests, but if you study the notes he went over in class you should get a good grade. Smart as hell.

Schmaltz is incredibly anal, and his lectures sometimes have a slight right-wing slant, but the man is a very effective teacher and a fair grader.

Very organized and fair but I found him to be very biased. He's extremely conservative and shows it a lot in his lessons.

He just made everybody remember why they hated high school so much. Picture your least favorite high school class (boring teacher, illogical rules, tense atmosphere) and you're picturing this one.

Allright, so as long as your not sick and relying on making up tests, you'll enjoy this guy. He's very smart and does a great job of teaching both sides of an issue without being biased. Little did I think I would enjoy this class! Credit his organization and clear expectations.(Lots of Video's too)

The best teacher I have ever had. This is a man that is intelligent, well organized, presents information clearly, and truly loves what he does-and that is what makes class all the more enjoyable for us students. Even if you fear Government courses, you will enjoy and survive this class-I promise!

He's an excellent teacher. It took a lot of studying, but I used to despise history, and now I love it thanks to him. He's very willing to help students who put in an effort and try. Has a great passion for what he teaches, and very organized notes.
