Reviews of professor Danielle Smiley

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
On a personal level, Dr. Smiley has a very pleasant, bright personality. As a professor, though, Dr. Smiley frequently makes mistakes, rarely reviews past material, and does not clearly connect the concepts that are taught, leaving students confused and behind. Content on homework and tests is always FAR harder than what is taught. Do not take.

Dr. Smiley's class features 5 exams (1 drop), weekly MathLab homework, and reading writeups based off completion. As long as you engage in lectures and take notes, the class is pretty easy. Always feel free to reach out to her if you are having trouble with anything. Her lively personality and passion adds to the positive learning atmosphere.

I took MAT 2705. Dr. Smiley is a super nice professor and is lecture-heavy, but if you ask questions and pay attention to her lectures, it is easy to grasp the material rather than just watching. Homework load is extremely manageable, and she doesn't mind moving the deadlines. Tests are pretty easy and she is available outside of class.

Weekly hw, tests harder than the hw or quizzes. This woman should not be teaching here. She's bad at math, is constantly making mistakes during lectures. You get to drop your lowest exam grade but chances are you'll get below a 50% on 2 of them. Avoid at all costs. Please fire her.

Dr. Smiley finds a way to make every topic confusing because she lacks any form of structure. Class was "theoretically" laid out modularly but she finds a way to mess that up every lecture. Prepare to watch Organic chemistry tutor because her HW and lectures have very little to do with the tests. Avoid.
