In the laboratory of Digiital circuits, we conduct two separate exercises dedicated to latches and Schmitt triggers.
But I am deeply convinced that there is no principal difference between these two groups of circuits since each latch can be made act as a Schmitt trigger and v.v., each Schmitt trigger can be made act as a latch.
For example, in 2008, we did this "magic" with one of my student groups:

I think it would be interesting to discuss here what is common and what is different between these circuits... and what needs to be done to turn one into another...
