Comment:

Do not hesitate to ask questions!! He is more than happy to help you understand. Yes he goes through powerpoints but if you do not understand speak up. Or else he will think you know the material and move on to the next subject. Class attendance is not mandatory but it will help you grade if you attend every class. Tests are curved. Good luck!

All he does is read power points. Expects you to know all material by memorization., but he does give extra credit,which will come in handy because his tests are so hard you will need it. Extra credit comes early in the semester so take advantage of it. He does not give a word bank for any of the Lab practicals, memorize everything!

He only reads off the slides and doesn't go over any material. I taught myself everything from going over the slides. He expects you know everything already and then is shocked when you don't know. I wouldn't take his class again.

Comment:

Definitely plan on studying everything in the the PowerPoints-that's the bare minimum. I manage to get A's with the curves but I study excessively in order to do so. He gives quite a bit of extra credit so be sure to do all of it because he gives less over the semester! It's better to stress in order toover-prepare yourself, that's what I learned.

Comment:

He is a nice person and makes it clear his rules and expectations in class. VERY VERY LONG lectures that go over lots and lots of material. The material he emphasizes isn't on the exams and material he skims over is a large part of the exams. LOTS of reading!

Comment:

Not a good professor at all for summer courses. He goes over ppts and hardly deviates from reading off them, or has no ppt and draws all over the board making no sense. His lectures dont help for tests but he gives big curves and many EC opps. He hates being questioned and doesnt like to answer them, has been rude to his students, DONT recommend.

Comment:

Mr. Smith was very hard--I worked my tail off for an A. I am used to getting A's. His tests are insane (he curves), BUT even if you fail them--he is really cool about extra credit (do it!!) and just do your labs perfectly, ALL points count. . Show up for class and study his power points. I barely opened the book. Stick it out - he is generous.

If you plan on going to a university (esp for preprofessional), you'll benefit a lot from taking his class. Yes, he's tough but that is only a taste of how difficult its going to get- he's easy in comparison! I go to UCF now & learned my test taking strategies from him to use here. He's a good teacher and knows his stuff! Study and you'll get an A

There was a lot to learn in this class but Mr Smith made it easy to do. He gives extra credit and grades with a curve. He is also pretty funny and friendly. I was never afraid to ask a question.

Do not take this teacher. He is tough, boring, and he does not help the students. In his class, students are on their own.

Comment:

He is the worst teacher I've ever had in my entire life. His courses are long, boring, and not clear at all. He does curve for the tests but even with that it is really tough. He does not help students, and during the class, he just read the slides and nothing else. Also, he gets mad if students ask him to explain to them a grade or anything else.

I loved the class. Although it was tough and you have to study a lot. He is a cool guy and really down to earth. He wants everyone to succeed and provides extra credit opportunities.

Comment:

Do not be scared to take this class. If you study and pay attention in class you will be fine. He is a very generous giving large curves and a lot of extra credit. He has realistic expectations for college students. The people above and below me complaining obviously have no work ethic or expect to get an A by showing up. He is very fair.

Comment:

This is by far the worse class I've ever had in my college career. Coming from a major university and soon to transfer into another, this course has ill-prepared me due to unachievable expectations. The value into which he credited each student is only outmatched by the expected work ethic outside class hours. I would never recommend him.

He is a tough prof and you REALLY have to study, but he does curve and gives extra credit for service learning. I strongly suggest you READ a lot and study! He is a great prof and will prepare you for university level classes.

Definitely one of the funniest teachers I've had. The tests are difficult but they're exactly what he goes over so if you study you'll do fine. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities which help out a lot as well as the labs.

Comment:

Prof. Smith is very enthusiastic about what he does and he provides a lot of energy for his class most of the time. There are many opportunities for extra credit in his class. Be warned that his tests are VERY hard and you will need to study to pass them. The only downside was the class's participation in his lecture. I would take his class again.

He was an overall great teacher. His tests are hard but curves nearly all of them. If you pay attention and bring your book to class it should be an easy "A". I would definitely take him again!
