Reviews of professor Teri Smith

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unfortunately, you sit in the back and keep your head down to survive this class. She makes it very hard to ask questions and I got bullied pretty much all term. The class is do-able of course but it was extremely discouraging especially because it was my first term.

Professor Smith is a good professor. Her moodiness is just a part of her humor and personality. Don't take the frustration to heart because it's the usual mood of a nurse. Teri is just being a nurse. Validations can be scary, but they can be really fun too. She will help you along the way because she wants you to pass.

I could write a paper about smith but leaving this here for WCU-ONT to see. She needs to be fired.The class is easy and the content is great but her outlook towards students...no. If other profs on campus know she creates problems and bullies students then why not let her go? I cried more days than not this term. Respect is a two way street.

I don't think anyone can be prepared for what you will endure in these gruesome 9 weeks with Smith. Unfortunately this course is picked for us and we were all set up for torture. I don"t know why this lady is teaching the first core nursing course. This class is our first experience in skills and it is unfair. As someone else mentioned, lay low.

If you are starting core next term, I would recommend blending in and not getting noticed by her to make it easier for yourself. She gets irritated VERY easily, and it confuses me why she is a prof. because the whole point is to TEACH and ENCOURAGE future nursing students. Makes me think of how people say nurses eat their young.

Professor Smith is great! Her humor is pretty dry so be ready for that. BUT she really does want her students to succeed. She breezes through teaching skills, but allows the students plenty of time to practice before validations. Just pay attention and ask questions, even if she seems intimidating. It was a fun class to start core with.

It is really unfortunate that she teaches N101 skills for the first term of nursing or is even an employed professor. She is a very discouraging person, yells, rolls her eyes, and tells you that you are asking too many questions. We feared our validation day because of how bad it is and how discouraging she can be rather than teach and educate.

Professor Terri is a great professor. You'll learn a lot from her. She is understanding but her personality can swing towards being moody. Do not take it personally. It can be really funny at times.

Professor Smith was pretty good for an online clinical instructor. I just took off some points because there were a few times where she can get irritated/impatient with some students, and it can be traumatizing for them since this is their first introduction into nursing core. She is nice most of the time, but she can be mean if pushed to it.
