Reviews of professor Jane Smart

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Actually took for SPA4011. She was great! Very clear on her lectures. She also answered emails and questions fairly quickly which is nice. She's very patient and offers in-class activities where she walks around and gives clarification if you need. No exams for this class, just quizzes, masterclinician and in class participation.

Took this professor online over summer and in person before that. She does not use any of her own materials and expects you to know how to do the problems in the homework without providing any previous examples on them. Homework and discussions are graded based on completion but quizzes and exams were extremely difficult!

The class is self-taught and self-directed. Class meetings are only designed to be review sessions. Professor links to another professor's work on Canvas and uses it almost entirely to teach the course; she provides scarce little to the class herself. She's nice and funny, but a bad instructor. Material itself was very easy. Used Tophat (annoying).
