Reviews of professor Christopher Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This man opened up my brain in a way no other teacher has been able to. He is clearly passionate and knowledgable about what he is teaching and I was always so fascinated listening to the things he was able to pull out of these anime. The class was not a lot of work and was an overall amazing experience. I'd take this class over and over again.

Overall, the class was fun and the professor was lighthearted and humorous, good at teaching the info. It did have heavy textbook reading every night before class and the possibility of pop quizzes every class. It was a little more work than I was expecting, but overall it was fun and the professor was knowledgeable and made it a good experience.

The professor and class were absolutely amazing. Be warned that you will have to do A LOT of discussion posts, and anime watching, but its really easy to complete everything, just don't wait to the last minute to do it. The class was the most fun I had so far in a college course and I would absolutely recommend this as a quest 1 course for anyone.

Prof. Smith is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable. Despite being in Asian studies, he knows a lot about philosophy and western history. He is able to connect philosophy to anime in incredible ways. More work than regular Good Life, he has high expectations, but they are manageable. One of the best and most insightful social science classes ever!!!!!!!

Hope this is the right Chris Smith. Amazing man. What he wants is clear, he explains really well, and he goes above and beyond to provide us with frameworks and worksheets so the class can comprehend what is happening.

The modules contain WAY too much material for what you actually need to know.  If you want to survive memorize everything, many of the quizzes contain questions cherry-picked from sentences in the lectures or readings. However, for the most part you will be tested on concepts instead of bits of information.

Really good professor! Taking one of his classes right now, which I haven't finished, but I've taken two of his classes in the past, so I know the jist of things. For some reason he's gotten a skewed reputation among students? Most of whom haven't even met him. If you get a chance def take one of his classes, especially his Japanese Visual Culture.

My experience was great, that's why I decided to take Web Design 2 with the same Professor this semester. He really wants students to succeed!
