Reviews of professor Kim Smith

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Kim was a last minute prof. takeover for this class. She doesn't allow laptops for note taking. She told us that she doesn't want to drive to class since she lives in Ogden. We had an in class assignment where we watched a video and answered questions. One of them wasn't answered in the video so we asked her and she wouldn't tell us the answer.

For a 100 level class, the amount of work expected by Smith is insane. As a professor she is entirely absent. I would not recommend any of her classes to other students. In comparison, my 300 and 400 level science courses have a smaller workload than this class.

It was an entire semester worth of zoom, even when no masks. Why have it be a zoom class? And prepare for group work. If you get stuck with bad group members, be prepared to work together for the rest of the way. Or more accurately, be prepared to do all the work or have your grade suffer. Smith is nice enough tho, just not a fan of how it was ran.

If you're lucky she'll show up to class sometimes. Once she is in class she's okay but still not the best. Just be sure not to miss any assignments on Canvas as due dates/times can be a little wacky.

Kim has been the worst professor I've had in three years while at UVU. She is hypocritical in what she expects from her students and what she delivers. She grades harshly on attendance but doesn't bother to show for most of the classes. She makes students teach the lessons and has yet to put in much effort, yet has very difficult assignments.

VERY unclear about assignments, doesn't know how to use canvas, and often cancels class 5 minutes after it's started and she's nowhere to be found. Doesn't make herself accessible/easy to meet with. You have to go to class if you want to know whats going on because she pulls 50 point assignments out of thin air, never making canvas notifications

I love UVU and almost all of my professors here have been amazing, but Kim Smith is the exception. She overall has an unpleasant attitude with her student. Her class is severely disorganized, if you don't understand an assignment, don't bother asking because she'll make you feel dumb for inquiring. She doesn't seem to want her students to succeed.

I do not suggest taking a class from her. I sent emails, submitted comments and the third time I brought something up she had to respond because she was grading it. I did something slightly wrong asked if I could resubmit before it was due. All she said was to take a better look at the assignments later in the semester.
