Great instructor! I enjoyed his classes because they were informative, detail-oriented and lively. I liked how he engaged the classes into discussions on topics covered in the lectures and within the book. It was nice to not have to sit through a class where an instructor just stood there and lectured in dry, monotone style and very knowlegable.

Dr. Smith loves to set students up only to make himself look smarter and for them to look stupid. He is very arrogant, and full of himself. Overall he pretty much sucks balls

Generally a good prof. He loves to make you feel stupid and write lists about random points that are somewhat connected. But you do learn a great deal, so his classes are worth your time and money.

If you want to take a class were you understand from the start what is expected and what will be need to get an A then this is the guy for you. Okay so he's cranky - so he's a bit odd.... but you know what you'll need to do to pass any of his classes just by taking one. - VERY fun - VERY HONEST - Great Classes and Great Help!

Very well organized. Returns tests promptly. Willing to help student with material BUT student has to make effort to see him in his office. He is VERY accessible to students.

He's a good guy and always ready to help students understand the subject, both in and out of class. The key to success in most of his classes is to take good notes. He will give you a list of topics to listen for in class. Make sure you take notes on those topics and you're set for the tests.

He is not politically incorrect. He plays devil's advocate to get people talking. He is very entertaining in class, and helpful outside of class. Know your stuff and be prepared to debate.
