Reviews of professor Derik Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Love this Prof! His FWS is amazing and super interesting to learn about! The discussions are engaging and the course material is not too heavy (just a bunch of movies). He gives good feedback on papers (3 total). The only thing to be aware of is he's a bit inaccessible by email.

Any film/cinema class with Prof Smith will leave you blown away. Not only did he navigate the Inside-Out dynamic well, but he always has so much insight to share about the films that we are discussing, and make the experience extremely interesting for all those involved. There were very few assignments, and his grading is very forgiving.

Professor Smith is an incredible professor with great feedback on papers. He will help you develop your writing skills. His discussion-based classes are incredible, and you never forget the content of the previous class because he always starts off the discussion by asking someone to summarize the prior class. Great professor, great person.
