Reviews of professor Justin Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
There's a weekly chapter quiz. He offers optional practice quizzes before each chapter quiz. Only written assignment is an Article Critique. You choose the article you want to critique. He responds to emails quickly & makes himself available to review your article critique rough drafts before you submit for grading. No final exam & no extra credit.

I had to take this class I did well on the quizzes but the research paper was 3 parts on the final paper I went through the rubrics and made sure to include all parts for credit but, only received 24 points out of 120 there is no way. I highly recommend seeking another teacher if you need to take this class.

His class is just a 50 minute discussion. You have to be goofy with him though because he is much more chill than he might seem

Highly recommend if you want to pass the exams is to go to his lectures. Especially if you dont want to read the book. The lectures is long, but not boring at all he makes it easy to understand and often ask for our opinions. Nice guy, great class.

Nice funny professor who explain the material to the T so you can comprehend the chapters well. 3 exams 100 questions and a article critique which is broken down into 3 sections over the course of the class so it's not overwhelming. Participation wasn't mandatory but you should show up if you don't want to be lost and also buy the textbook to study

The class was great! I withdrew from another professor's research method class because I was struggling. This course is an article review vs a research paper. Much easier! 14 chapters with quizzes each week. He gives multiple opportunities to take the practice tests each week as well. Easy to do and he is great on his videos. Highly recommend!
