Reviews of professor Margaret Mary Stapleton Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Truly the best professor I've ever had. Really prompted us to think intentionally. Gives lots of reading as writing assignments but is a very fair grader. She's compassionate with her students. Her class is making me consider a theology minor despite not being religious at all.

Meg was by far the BEST professor I've ever had at Fordham. Her class was incredible. The lectures are entertaining, the readings are interesting and she's such a wonderful person. I can't recommend this class enough. TAKE HER!

She is the best professor I had in my first semester. Make sure to participate in her class and do the readings.

Participation is huge. You have to act like and agree with all her ideologies about Christianity, feminism, and liberalism and blame men for everything. An assignment was due at 9:30 am, and I asked for an extension a few days early. She gave me till 5 PM, and I had classes. Reading every night and journal entry every day about it. Way too hard.

Professor Stapleton Smith is truly a wonderful person and professor. She is smart and caring and her bioethics class was incredibly thought provoking. We discussed and tackled difficult topics as a class in a respectful way, even with big disagreements. My main complaint is her class was too easy and sometimes felt like high school.

An incredible professor; she is funny, passionate, and vibrant every single day. She commutes almost 2 hours to teach here and always brings her A-game to class. Everyone looks here to see how easy a professor is, but never how good they are at teaching. She is excellent through and through. Take this class.

Prof. Stapleton Smith is great and her bioethics class is so interesting. I originally took it for credit but she finds so many ways to take on hard topics and by the end of class, everyone is so passionate about what we discussed. She doesn't push any ideas on the class which I really liked. So sweet and understanding. Definitely take her!!!

Amazing. Best professor I've had. Wonderful, caring person, and fantastic professor. If you show up to class, participate, and do the assignments, you'll get an A. She gives extra credit, makes sure everyone's comfortable, isn't solely focused on Eurocentric ideas, and is the only reason I made any friends at Fordham. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!! WONDERFUL!

3 seminar papers, a Mid-term, and a Final, each one page single-spaced. For the mid-term and final, she gives you 6 prompts to study and 1 hour and 4 hours to write. On essay day, she'll choose two prompts, and you'll select one of them. You have to participate every day. Journal entry every day that she will collect at the end of the semester.
