Reviews of professor Elisa Johnson Smith

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Elisa was a great instructor. She is a student herself, so she gets that we are ALL stressed and we have a million other things going on. She is caring, willing to meet out of class, even though SHE has a busy schedule. She grades heavy, but sets out clear instructions for how it should be done. She follows the rules closely, her tests are clear.

Considering the class isn't actually taught by her (she uses lectures from someone else and doesn't write her own material) I'm not sure I should be reviewing her. The course layout page is a massive wall text, assignments come back with zero constructive feedback, due dates are found in 4 different areas. Nice lady. Awful teacher.

She is such an awesome lady! The only issue is that she is a super harsh grader. I am a straight A student taking hard classes, I am extroverted and love speaking days, and she grades too hard. I will never take a class from her again, but she is an absolute sweet lady. Just beware with taking a class with her.

Yo, I should have listened to past reviews. Im currently in her class and this is my worst nightmare. She gives assignments on Moodle but adds assignments on TopHat too and its almost like im taking two classes at once. She grades harsh too. She emails and communicates back well, but I would never take a class from her again.

Her lectures are long, but if you take notes and pay attention you will do great. I recommend meeting with her to practice the speech. Before each rough draft is due for the speech meet with her a week in advance before it is due and she will tell you what you need to do to get a better grade. I hated her at first but once I met with her I did good

Shes not a terrible professor by any means. Class was lecture heavy and participation was always coerced or forced. Shes kind of uppity and grades somewhat harsh. Again, not a bad professor at all.

She was very difficult and was harsh when it came to grading
