Reviews of professor Christopher Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Smith is great. I'm not a fan of anthropology but he's very passionate. His lectures are extremely clear and always on blackboard. As long as you show up and do your best to participate you'll do great. He's very helpful, patient, and answers questions clearly. He does study guides for both the midterm and final.

Really good TA who grades generously. Basically, watch anime, write about it, discuss. We learn about world topics which can be boring or fun depending on you. 1 big paper, 2 exams, easy homework grades. Overall, pretty good quest class.

Professor Smith really valued feedback and communication. He wants his students to succeed beyond the scope of his class, and it shows. Even though I don't want to become a coder, he taught me concepts that are applicable to other designs off of the web.

It was overall an interesting class. He's very laid back and passionate about the subject and also very understanding if you need an extension. HOWEVER, pop quizzes on the readings are hit or miss. If you don't read you probably won't pass the quiz (pop quiz). Not a harsh grader, but memorizing material for exams takes time- it's a lot of material

Really amazing professor, you can tell he is very passionate about Japanese culture. Content was interesting, but DO NOT think this course will be easy. There is mandatory attendance and pop quizzes are based on specific parts of the reading. Essays can be confusing as well. Great course and professor, just know what you are getting yourself into:)
