Reviews of professor Wes Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I loved having Smith as my professor for Music Appreciation. He has recorded lectures and Powerpoints on Canvas, and makes sure to reach out to you so you don't feel lost. He also writes nice comments on your assignments. Definitely take this class with him!

Correction **Get ready to listen** to music. Prof. Wes Smith's schedule for assignments was very easy to get into the flow of, listening assignment, discussion board, discussion board, and then a quiz over two weeks for about four to five chapters. There were only two papers, one for the midterm and then the final. Mostly lectures and reading. :)

You need to ensure you send a rough draft into him before the midterm and final papers are due so he can give you feedback. His grading method on the papers are strict. Every thing is moderately easy you just need to listen and remember information.

Just make sure to read the textbook chapters, listen to the lecture videos (short videos), and don't miss any assignments. Easy "A" and interesting class!

This was a fun class and I'm glad I chose it as my elective. I thought I was already knowledgable about music but you will honestly learn something whether or not you're into music. The assignments are all easy and he even allows late work. The hardest part are the quizzes which will put you to the test if you're actually paying attention.

Great professor, responds quick and willing to help. I am not the best with music so this class was a little difficult for me but definitely a passable class and you can get a really good grade if you put in some effort. A structured class helps you not miss any assignment and everything is clearly laid out on the syllabus schedule.
