Reviews of professor Wes Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I have taken both Music Appreciation (online) and American Music History (in person) with Professor Smith. These classes have been some of the most informative, interesting, and fun academic activities I have ever taken. Attending his in person classes is definitely worth it as the lectures are extremely engaging.

My first course back in returning to college after 7 years, chose this course solely based on the reviews on this site. I took the accelerated semester & it was an incredible experience. Do all assignments, MUST purchase/rent text book (rented mine on Amazon for $30), fantastic grading, two big papers, course schedule up front and can work ahead!

Professor Smith is a perfect online instructor. Took him for MUH2019 and passed with a B! Be sure to buy textbook at bookstore or online, i got mine off amazon. Assignments are easy and sometimes require the textbook. Only 2 essays which are midterm, and final. Nothing crazy. SUPER simple class. He is also great at communication and will help you.

Professor Smith was an awesome instructor. I took this class in person and about midway in the semester we no longer met. I was really concerned that I would not do as well but it was a great transition. Mr. Smith was available whenever I had a question or concern about something. He was also understanding to the balance of school and life.

I loved taking Music Appreciation under Professor Smith. He's one of the most engaging lecturers I've had, and he's incredibly knowledgeable about the material (and, it seems, all things music). Very genuine guy who made taking hybrid courses during a pandemic not only tolerable, but fun.

Taking this class has helped me to listen more closely to music, other than just loving how it sounds. Prof. Smith gave short, detailed lectures explaining key concepts covering each chapter. If you take the time to complete all assignments and discussions and complete the quiz review sheet in preparation for quizzes, you will get an A.

I thought MUH2019 was going to be a piece of cake, but boy was I wrong! It didn't help that I took the condensed online course lol. Each week there's discussions, quizzes, listening assignments, etc. The most important are the midterm and final essay. I would highly recommend submitting your rough draft for review ahead of the assign. being due.

Very chill teacher, I met him at a Donut Connection one time. You have a quiz about every other week, for those look at the review questions in the modules because they'll remind you of what you need to know. Great class, would take him again.
