Comment:
You'll learn more about writing than the actual subject of the class, but it's worth it. He can get too political, but he's fascinating to listen to. Definitely take him if you can, because he was talking about retirement in the near future.

Comment:
Dr. Smith is a truly wonderful prof. and man. He has so many fascinating stories, and his views are a breath of fresh air for WV. He brings some sophistication to Marshall. I think everyone in the class loved him except the guy who fell asleep all the time. He even invited us to dinner at his house. You will have to write a HUGE term paper.

Don't buy the book. Come the first 5 minutes of class to see if he hands out the study guide, if he doesn't, leave. 2 tests, exact study guides. Google it all. It rocks.

Began in the class bored out of my mind. He is a LIBERAL, but there are other things more important like no attendance policy, two exams, and an exact study guide. Study for exams, and the class will be great.

This class has been extremely easy. There are only two exams, and the study guide says exactly what is on the test. His lectures can get a little boring, but he does try to add funny stories to keep things interesting.

This guy was nominated for a pulitzer prize: out of 3 people in the nation. I got an A in the class. This guy really has a passion for the politics in this nation. He made me want to learn more about the political system. Take him if you get a chance.

He is such a cute old man. His class is extremely simple, just show up and get the study guide, look everything on it up in the book and you will be fine. If you want an A, make the long essay 4-5 pages. It really is an easy A. He's quite the liberal tho.

It was a fairly easy class, but his lectures were very one-sided and unbalanced. To do well on the essay part of the test, stay toward the middle or left politically speaking.

A very nice man who knows the material and tries to make it interesting. His tests can be challenging, as they are short answer and essay, but there are no tricks and it all comes straight from his lectures.
