Comment:
I graduated with a 3.9 GPA -- I listened, worked hard and took excellent notes in my classes. But I found Prof. Smith incomprehensible. The lectures were horrible and all over the place, and the exams impossible. I got a C in the class (all my other grades were As). I'm not bragging, jet letting you know -- stay away from the class.

Avoid this class if possible. Nothing you tell him will be good enough to get higher than a C on his two tests. There are no A's B's or curves. His class is impossible to get a good grade in unless you are him.

Comment:
Old professor, probably in his late 70s. Unbearably boring and only lectures and then gives exam on lecture. Does not provide any help. Exam is graded excessively strict. Nobody got above a D (Literally) on his first exam this semester.

Comment:
I asked many students going into this class what he was like. They said evil & stay away. I felt differently at the beginning, but by the end that's how I felt about him. Critical of Native Americans & uses the n word. Hint: Don't criticize the gov't in your papers. He doesn't read your papers and gives a grade without explanation. He has tenure.

Very difficult instructor. Do not take his classes if you value your grade point average. If you do take his classes, you might learn something, which is everyone's goal in going to college, but why stress yourself out? Skip this man's classes!

Comment:
when i had him in fall / 2002 he had a heart attack after the first 6 weeks of classes. they hired a grad student from BG to take over and this guy was AWESOME. smith was ok....but his replacement knew his stuff. had the same conservative views as smith but a little more open minded. smith wasn't bad but i dont think i would've gotten an A if smith had been there the whole semester.

Hard, but fair. Most people who complained about him either never were in class, didn't pay attention or never took notes. They expected an easy class, and it wasn't.

Plain and simple, he needs to retire. After taking his class, one will be pissed that they actually wasted their money. Many use the terms "unfriendly" and "unfair" to describe his interaction with the students.

If you are afraid of work, don't take this class. The lectures are awesome, the tests are hard.

Comment:
Some people who said the class was interesting. As for myself, I thought it was absolutely boring, and whenever I looked around, I could see people with there heads down, sleeping. There were like *2* people who got A's. Not a good class.
