Reviews of professor Valerie Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Smith is awesome. She is entertaining and engages well with her students. She enjoys playing music in class because she doesn't like a silent classroom. She is there for her students so don't hesitate to reach out to her if you're having trouble with the work. Be prepared to work in groups because there's a lot of writing. It's a fun class!

I enjoyed Professor Smith, Her class was interesting and she has a great sense of humour; truly never a dull moment. Passing the class is simple, show up to class and make an effort with your projects and journals, submit by the deadline and you'll be fine.

I took her class in the spring, class is very organized and simple. We had 5 units about different types of literature with an essay at the end. lots of reading, but as long as you do the work and come to class it will be easy. She's understanding, sweet, and will help you when needed, we do work in groups almost weekly so the work becomes easier.

She assigns four 800-1000 words essays. She makes her expectations very clear and she's very easy to talk to. Make sure to actually do the reading homework because she does quizzes at the beginning of every class based off the reading. There is a textbook required but I never had to buy it. Just take pictures of a friends or classmates textbook.

She talks way too much. Class is never productive because she is always talking about her personal life. If attending class did not affect my grade I wouldn't have gone. Her class itself is pretty easy but graded weird. She does a grading contract which is definitely not ideal.

This was my favorite writing class ever. The topic were super interesting we watched Get Out and wrote about it. Hella funny professor.

Professor Smith is personable, creative, and an overall great english teacher. I plan on taking all my required english with her if possible. She does her grading on a grading contract, which was the motivation I needed to get everything turned in and completed. Very little stress and she makes group work super tolerable. Awesome!

Very sweet and likable, not very good at explaining things but freshman English courses are often not difficult to understand on their own anyway. She obviously really cares about her students and memorized all our names by the 3rd day in class. Just like super sweet and nice

So Im currently in her class and shes absolutely wonderful. This class is mainly review and very easy as long as you do the homework And projects you will get a B because she grades on a grading contract. Then you can do extra to get an A. She is very caring and gives good feedback.
