Tests are extremely hard. He'll go over 6 weeks of lecture and you will take a written exam on it. The tests do not include word banks or anything, so you're expected to remember ALL 6 weeks of lecture.

Comment:

Smedley's the best! I took two classes with him last semester and I'm taking two again this semester. He is, hands down, my favorite professor. His lectures are very interesting and he has THE BEST stories. They may not always be clearly related, but they're always interesting. Gives a review sheet for each test and goes over it in class.

Dr. Smedley was an amazing professor! He is brilliant. You don't need a book but you will have to take detailed notes in class. Only 34 tests but they are short answer and voc no MC. Gives you a study guide so be prepared to study. Nice guy and easy to get in touch with. Loved the class and would take it again.

Comment:

Take notes in this class or when you get the study guide your not going to know everything on there. Other than that just study the powerpoints listed on the guide and you should be fine. Not an easy A because if you miss 3 questions on the test you get a B

If you study the notes that he gives you and actually take him up on his offer to give you the powerpoints prior to the exam you will pass the class.

I had no idea what I was in for when I took this class for an elective. It was only easy because he made the class so stinkin interesting! I was sad when it ended and would take more of his classes if I weren't graduating. Take it people, believe me you'll be glad you did.

He is my absolute favorite professor of all time. While at CSU, I took as many of his classes as I could and after graduating, I missed his classes. As a grad student, I have never found such a wonderful professor again.
