Reviews of professor Morgan Smalls

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Smalls is a great prof and incredible intelligent, but don't take this class if you're looking for an easy A. The topic of the class is super interesting and she really knows her stuff. Readings every week, parter discussion leader assignment, and a research paper + annotated bib, as well as three exams.

Prof. Smalls is really nice. Here is how to pass SMAD150: go to class and participate (makes Smalls like you), read all of your homework (super boring but you remember stuff for tests better), go to class as much as you can (even if you don't really pay attention), get help for your writing assignments (harder than they look), and study for tests.

I had Dr. Smalls paired with Alessi in 101, and honestly wouldn't have enjoyed the class as much if it was only her. She is definetly knowledgable in media and is very kind, but compared to Alessi, she didn't add as much in class. I can't speak to her as a sole professor, but based on my experience, I would only recommend her w Alessi

3 tests and 2 paper. Test questions are so specific. Make sure to study a lot before test. Also, takes forever to grade your paper.

Extremely slow grader. Provided fair yet minimal feedback. Main lectures were taught by three knowledgable professors; Smalls tried making lectures entertaining. Emailed her once about an extension but she never replied. Eventually gave the whole class a two-day extension due to her being behind on grading. Must study to do well.

I had her for SMAD150 with 3 other profs, the class itself is annoying, and the subject is interesting but the profs find a way to make it boring. She and the others are nice in person but the tests are hard and so long for no reason. the lab sessions have no point most times. It's a bearable class but just disappointing.

In my class she taught alongside Professor Alessi, so I didn't have her as a main professor. Dr. Smalls is kind and seems to be knowledgable, but the comments and things she says in class are very irrelevant to our material. She wastes class time by talking about race and privilege instead of relevant things to know for the exams

Such a stupid class. Tried to make it hard for no reason. Made me want to drop out of jmu. Showed animated child porn.
