Reviews of professor Danielle Smiley

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really enjoyed Professor Smiley's class! She is extremely helpful in office hours and really wants to see her students succeed!!!

She's a nice woman and cares about her student. However, her asynchronous videos seemed like she was reading straight out of the textbook and she would make many mistakes when going over problems on zooms. I had to teach myself a lot of the times. But she was very accommodating plus the exams were take home. I would try to get a different prof.

She is a very nice lady, but not a great teacher. Her lectures leave you confused and her work is filled with errors. Students often have to correct her. The problems in class are significantly easier than the test and homework making it difficult to learn and score well on the test. I was great at math in hs, but thought I might have to withdraw!

Dr. Smiley is far better than her reviews. I had her for Diffeq and was able to get an A in the class by paying attention in class and reviewing homework problems before tests. She wouldn't be my first choice but is definitely a sleeper pick if you have a bad registration time.

One WebAssign assignment per week, about one quiz per week (drop lowest), 4 tests (drop lowest) and 1 final, unclear lectures and mistakes often, very nice but not a great teacher, group Maple project after each test, tests are very difficult, but she gives good feedback

She was very lecture heavy, which isn't a problem for me, except that she was always ill prepared and never seemed to grasp the material herself. Constantly corrected from students - at least twice a class. Homework and lectures were not related to the test material at all.
