Reviews of professor Brent Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Smith lenient grader, as long as you do what is asked of an assignment you can get an easy A. The only way to fail this class is to not do the assignments. Each week we had 1 disscussion post, SAP post, and 1 quiz, plus 3 essays in place of exams. The essays seemed hard but as long as you meet the requirements they're an easy A+.

Genuinely enjoyed coming to his lectures. It was an INCREDIBLY easy class, and you would have to be incredibly lazy or miss class for awhile to get anything lower than a B. That is a fact. If you want history taught to you in an exciting and engaging way, definitely take him. You can tell he has a talent and a passion for teaching.

Brent Smith is probably one of the easiest (and best) professors I have ever had. His lectures are engaging, and he can be hilarious at times. He tells you EVERYTHING you'll need for your tests. You have to actually try to fail his class, it's that easy. I will definitely take his HIST 2020 class.

says the textbook is required but I didn't use it once. Doesn't care what your excuse is even if it was an emergency, he won't give you credit if you missed class. he cares about his students but the quizzes set you up for failure. he brings in a lot of guest speakers which is very helpful.

I did not care for Professor Smith as a professor. He was very unfair with his online class vs. his in person class. If you do not give him exactly what he wants, even if you are close, he automatically starts grading you at a D. He would also just comment good job and I have no complaints, but still you would not receive 100%.

Entirely lecture based course (makes sense since we only have 5). He does a great job at explaining exactly what you need to know and does his best to make lectures interesting. Can be mean but he is a chill guy if you do what you need to. Practicals and tests are kinda difficult but if you take notes or rewatch the Red Cross vids you will be fine.

Brent Smith is the best professor I have had! he cares about people and is really kind and sweet. If you ever have a question he is right there to answer them with no hesitation. He is really good at teaching and he moves around the room and looks like he really enjoys what he does! I miss his class! I really recommend taking this class!
