Reviews of professor Michael Smith

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
WORST PROFESSOR EVER! I took his online class this past spring, and he was terrible. He was not engaged in the class at all. He only assigns short essays and doesn't give good instructions on how to do them well. Claims he is "reachable at any time," but if you email him, he won't respond. Don't waste your time.

Professor Smith would be the professor I would choose if I had to choose a professor to have all 4 years of undergrad. He is caring, accessible, and passionate about what he teaches. There is a lot of readings to do for his class but he covers everything so thoroughly and he loves answering any questions or any comments.

Professor Smith is one of the most insightful and caring professors at Boston College. This guy will really challenge you and make you think hard about not only business ethics but your own ethics as well. This guy is what makes portico so special, amazing professor.

Smith is a great portico prof. He really knows his stuff and is great with explaining things. Beware of tedious group projects that take up a lot of your grade. Tests are harder than they may seem.

Took online class. Disengaged and unorganized. Doesn't respond to emails and grades assignments 3 weeks late. Had a 94% in the class but ended up with a B?

Awesome guy. So nice. Classes are engaging and participation does matter so speak when you can. Try and form good relationships with your classmates and TAs. Will help you down the road and with the group projects (presentations) throughout.

Dr. Smith is an interesting guy who makes cricket-chirping jokes. Showing up to class seemed pointless because everything is in the textbook. The feedback given for essays do not translate to future grades even when you correct mistakes. Quizzes will tank your grade because of the lack of work. Professors need to stop giving useless group work.

Prof. Smith is a wholesome down-to-earth man. He is talented in relaying his lessons and willing to do review sessions and meet during office hours before exams. He is also a good advisor for your first year.

Genuinely one of the kindest, most caring professors I have ever met, he was always accommodating and extremely willing to help you for even the slightest bit of confusion. His assignments, including exams, are very fair and not particularly difficult. The group projects/presentations can be a bit difficult. He fosters great class discussions.

Professor Smith is a great professor, and has the ability to easily explain difficult concepts. He is kind, accessible outside of class, and genuinely cares about his students.
