Wolfram Schmidgen

I LOVE SCHMIDGEN! He is a great professor, very engaging with the students and even though I took him for Early Texts (which is required), he still made the material and discussions interesting and lively. He also is very knowledgeable about the Middle Ages/17th century and sprinkled in some history throughout, which was great.

Dr. Schmidgen is the head of the Literature department yet he is one of the most approachable and helpful professors I have ever had. He is happy to read over papers or talk about your ideas during his office hours, he is very respectful of differing opinions, and he structures his class to be a collective pursuit of truth rather than a lecture.

Professor Schmigden was a great teacher, I really enjoyed his class. He gives some really insightful analysis of the books and is really involved in the class, and very passionate. He is really nice at office hours and involved with students. The topics covered during discussion are very varied and interesting. Take his class!
