Reviews of professor Shawn Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He knows what he's talking about, and he puts all of his slideshows online for us to see. 2 midterms and 1 final, as of writing this the two midterms weren't too hard but I haven't taken the final yet. Hw due Friday 5pm weekly, but easy mc. Overall, good teacher, but the class, especially the lab, definitely is a kinda time consuming course.

Shawn is the BEST lab TA! He explains things very well, answers questions clearly, and provides great feedback to students. The actual lab work is simple and easy, just don't skip lab. Be sure to pay attention in lab because the information is necessary for lectures.

Responds promptly to emails, offers detailed explanations if confused. Pre labs easy, read lab manual. Listen to ppt, take good notes, study them forquizzes, go over images they provide, and actually know them. Interesting content, must do work Assignments/assessments aren't tricky, just have to know a lot of content. Very nice, wish I had him irl

Professor Smith is amazing!! The material was hard and he was very good at explaining it!! His way of teaching really helped me understand the material. He would reply to your emails very fast. He is very considerate and caring. I would take him again. I am gonna miss his class!

Best lab TA! His lab lectures helped me understand the material more than the actual lectures. Easy to reach him, by email or in person. I'm always anxious about school but he was really helpful/understanding, and just puts out good vibes in general. Also, your lowest quiz grade gets dropped and the exams are multiple choice, which is nice.

He genuinely is interested in biology and it really shows in his lectures. He is passionate with his words and explains things very thoroughly and is always willing to answer questions to the best of his ability. He is clear on course requirements and work you'll have to do. Also the textbook isn't necessary at all.
