Reviews of professor Jerrod Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
You know those Math videos you go to on Youtube because your in-person professor kinda sucks? Forget about them if your prof is Dr Smith. This man can make watching paint dry entertaining. Amazing prof and makes you actually WANT to attend lectures.

Very difficult course so biased review but, he is an excellent person and very caring, I just don't think I worked well with the way he taught. I think he spends a little too much time answering peoples questions and getting a little side tracked. I learn best with lots of examples, there weren't many of those. Jumps fast into new content.

Funniest prof I have ever had

This course is quite daunting, but if it's any prof you want, it's this guy. The lecture sessions are never boring, he makes them entertaining while also teaching the course content in an easily digestible manner. The worksheet assignments are fairly graded and responses to emails, as well as solutions to assignments, are given very promptly.

4 letters: GOAT. Whereas in many other classes lectures feel like slogs, unmotivated and uninspired, or lack of any help whatsoever, Dr. Smith is anything but. His classes are engaging and make you feel like you've learnt something valuable after, while being such a wholesome guy, plus he provides so many out of class resources to help. Legend

Take it with him if you can. Can't imagine myself surviving Math 249 with any other prof. It was very difficult class but Jerrod made it motivating to attend lectures, he does not waste your time at all. He's super good at explaining difficult concepts, accessible outside of class, and remembered his students names even if you've only spoken once.

Absolutely amazing professor, best I've had. He knows how to keep students engaged and teaches calculus in such a straightforward manner that it's almost impossible not to instantly understand him. He is helpful and creates a welcoming environment for all. He is so skilled at what he does and I genuinely look forward to attending his lectures.

If you ever need to take math, #1 recommend Jerrod. Jerrod brings so much passion, enthusiasm and energy to all classes that attending an 8am math lecture becomes actually enjoyable. Responds very promptly to all questions and shows genuine care for his students.

Genuinely such an angel of a human being, remembers a lot of peoples names. Calc was difficult for me (Im a bio major, I really dislike math), but I still somehow finished with an A+, thanks to him no doubt. Tells jokes to keep spirits up in 8:00AM lectures (don't forget the wild music selections). Extremely helpful out side of class.
