Reviews of professor Klyne Smith

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Smith doesn't carry himself as a professional in front of his students. Around 75% of the class he spends it talking about his personal experiences in a very unprofessional tone, more like a buddy-to-buddy tone. He is rude when students ask questions in person and emails, and he will make you feel dumb in front of the class.

Honestly over-hyped, within the first few weeks of class you already have a test, group project and essay due. Unclear guidelines and changes stuff last minute. Very overwhelming class even though it shouldn't be (he tries to make the class harder for some reason). Probably shouldn't take him if you have anxiety b/c he randomly calls on people.

Prof Smith actually cares about his students and tells us to discuss career and academic goals in class. Some assignments were a bit tricky but he goes over them in class and is available for help outside of class. His class made me appreciate how detailed and involved project management can be. Definitely recommend!

I'm in both of his classes this semester and it's very obvious which one (SE4381) is the favorite. I would be fine with paying to listen to this guy's useless stories in lecture if his classes was super easy and attendance wasn't mandatory, but unfortunately that's not the case and Smith wants to make the classes more stressful for no reason.

4 online exam open note. 4 hard project . 4 homework assignments. He picks on you if you are not paying attention

Lectures are a huge waste of time and he will call on you if he sees you looking down at your laptop for any reason. You can't avoid it either because he takes physical roll call. Extremely unpredictable and will add new things to do in assignments last minute. He might seem nice at first but is extremely rude in emails and gets on your nerves irl.

He will pick his favourite students from the class and would only grade them , you wont notice where did he cut down you marks , most of the point deduction would be unnecessary, just because of some incident in the class he would grade you less in every assignment. Definitely one should not take this Class.
