Reviews of professor Daniel Smith

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
You could probably do the bare minimum and pass with an A. He grades pretty quickly!

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
We had 3 exams that were 2 essay questions and were open notes. He always dedicated a whole class to review before the tests. We had 6 outside of class essays that were 1-2 pages, and the material is directly covered in class. He had interesting lectures that involved group discussions. Overall, would take again and loved the class!

Where do I start? He replies to emails 2 weeks late, if at all, and in a condescending manner. The tests are set up to make you fail; most questions are trick questions. You have to teach yourself with an extremely disorganized book and a confusing site. He would take 2-3 weeks to grade. Assignments so small, miss 1 you get an F. Don't take him.

Brother Smith was an ok teacher. There wasn't much interaction between him and the students. There was one big project which I enjoyed, but the rest of the class is lots and lots of writing. Overall, it was an ok class and he only ever gave feedback on 3-4 assignments.

I took his course for Spanish 1001 at Truett McConnell University, luckily I had two years of Spanish in high school previously giving me knowledge. You can make an A in this class if you study yourself, he doesn't explain things well, or lecture well but he will do one on one. A lot of your grade is online work, test, quiz, oral, and then finals.

This was an average online course. I took summer 24 classes so everything is sped up, but he was clear about deadlines/expectations and posted a weekly update. He was flexible when I had to submit something late once. For the course specifically, work hard on your capstone practicum and do it early, it's a lot. Also, quizzes are verbatim and easy.

Dr. Smith is a really interesting professor who makes class interesting and never gives too much reading. The readings are never too long, and he does a really good job at teaching the material and making sure his students understand it. He is understanding and really cares about his students.

Great professor that teaches material in a very interesting and understandable manner. In-class discussions are very beneficial, and when there is a lot of participation, they can almost entirely replace the short readings that are assigned before each class day.

Everyone at MSU should take a class with Dan Smith. He is the man. I would consider switching my major to theater just because of how awesome he is, but I'll let the actors take care of that. Dan Smith is the GOAT!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Smith's class. We had 3 tests that were open note, and no final exam. We had 6 papers, but only were1-2 pages were required and they weren't that hard. Professor Smith really knows the material, and his lectures are always interesting. I would take again.
