Awesome! He's got a really thick Scottish accent, and explains everything to death. If you're ever having problems, he is happy to help. Tests are slightly challenging, but Smith is truly awesome.

Comment:

he is an awesome guy, tries to clarify everything. even though it sometimes gets too boring and hard to concentrate he makes good jokes to refresh the attention. there are few kids in the class which are his favorites and he keeps messing with them. don't worry about doing all the homeworks properly, just do them and you are fine.

Comment:

I heard many scary things about Calc II but Prof. Smith made it very manageable and, almost, easy. He doesnt care if you come to class for as he says "I wouldnt come." Tests are fair, he never tries to trick you. Incredibly funny guy from Wales

good guy, but goes off on wild tangents and seems to be from a different planet at times. he can be funny tho. his tests are pretty hard. his lectures are boring at times, but presents stuff in a pretty clear manner.

Howard Smith is the GOD of calculus. A very challenging professor, but definitely one of the best at the university. Schedule one of his classes if you get the chance.

Comment:

the greatest man i have EVER met. yes, the homework is hard, but the helpsessions make it so much easier and it's not like they count for much anyways. the tests much easier than the homeworks. although math lectures are pretty boring his humor and actions made it enjoyable. i learned a lot from him. GREAT teacher!!!

He's a nice guy and a pretty good teacher, though sometimes he's hard to follow. He goes on tangents sometimes and the homework can be very difficult (the tests too), but overall it was a good class.

Comment:

Very funny guy, goes off on tangents a lot which are funny but a bit distracting. He grades for accuracy, not attempt. Love him as a person and I wouldnt hate to take another of his classes but I will probably avoid it just because its hard to follow him for a subject that is already hard to follow.

Comment:

Funny guy, enjoyable class. everything went well until the final when he decided to not tell anyone that we couldn't use our calculators. When everyone showed up to the exam he told us "No calculators for part 1" (Like the whole test.) Totally screwed my grade over. U decide if you want to take him
