Reviews of professor Deirdre Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was quite intimidated by the course's syllabus when I first read it, however Professor Smith made it all extremely interesting and accessible. The course is lecture heavy, and there is a lot of content but if you are engaged and willing to invest some time in it you'll find the course and Professor Smith highly enjoyable!

Before this semester Dr. Smith had maybe one rating, I think this was because she was fairly new. I decided to take her by a chance and I do not regret it, the reviews speak for themselves. If you need an elective or geography class she will be the best. responds immediately to emails, some profs still haven't even figured that out..

I took her online & she truly cares about her students. She tries to make the material stress free & interesting for her students. Definitely recommend.

I've had Dr. Smith for both semesters of my first year at UT and she is easily my favorite professor. She genuinely cares about the subjects she teaches, is extremely insightful, and doesn't hesitate to engage in conceptual discussions. If I could take more of her classes I absolutely would.

I really love Prof. Smith. I had her last semester for ARH304, so as an art history major myself I found her class really interesting and inspiring. Don't take her classes if you just want an easy VAPA. Overall, I really love this professor, and as long as you engage in class and do the readings, you should be just fine.

Super easy!! Open notes for every exam and homework/quiz. Lectures are easy to follow & she highlights the terms on her powerpoints that will be on exams. She reopened a HW for me once b/c I missed it. Responds to emails. Very organized w/ weekly schedules which I was super thankful for. 3 exams + a final + easy HW/quizzes

Dr. Smith is super chill and definitely knows her stuff! I took this class asynchronous and it was super easy, just watch the lectures, do readings, and take the quizzes. I only got this grade because I procrastinated, but the work is very straightforward. Take her class if you need an easy A Gen Ed and want a great professor!

This was my favorite class and professor so far. The lectures are really interesting and she is nice to students and funny so its comfortable and easy to learn. There is a lot of work, but its not too hard.

If you decide to take anyone for GEOG take HER! She's literally the best and actually cares about you passing. She responds to emails very quickly, and she honestly makes learning about geography fun. Her lectures aren't too bad to sit through, and exams and hw are easy too. Def one of the best teachers at LSU!
