I hate history. However, I really enjoyed his class. The lectures were interesting, and his test weren't difficult at all. Unfortunately, he is retiring and won't be returning.

Super funny...friendly and kind hearted. He is a great teacher...very thorough and explains things well. Really helped me learn so much. His tests are are on the tough side, but for history major's his class is a MUST! He really cares about his students and wants everyone to do a good job. He helps people as much as he can. I really enjoyed him!

Very sarcastic teacher, take this class if you don't like to be challenged and want to feel like you are still in high school, too much extra credit and an easy A but very repetetive lectures

One of the most boring teachers I have ever had. One guy in class keeps falling asleep and most of the time almost no one shows up to class.

great man, good teacher, and understanding of problems. I had an ugly flu day of the final, and brought my puke bowl to class. He sent me home, and called me the next day to ask if I was okay, and when I might want to retake. Can't ask for much more from a prof.

Comment:
Smith is awesome. He denigrates himself a little in class but I don't see why. He's very good at lecturing; the story of history almost draws you in a little. Takes a biographical approach starting with John W. Booth, Lincoln, Grant, etc. Very good professor! Don't care much for TR though...

Way too much extra credit, although I wasn't complaining at the time. I liked the direction he took the class; he included more then just the usual stuff we could read in any text.
