Reviews of professor Valerie Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Valerie Smith is super fun, entertaining and organized. She's not your average English teacher. I was looking forward coming to her class every day. You will like her. She goes out of her way to explain things, grading system is amazing, as long as you don't miss a day and turn in all your work you get a B, if you do better then you get an A.

Honestly just a great teacher. She communicated with her students well, and she always responded to emails.

I loved this class and I am taking her again! She tells funny stories but relates them to class. I loved the grading contract way better then regular grades. We did lots of group activities in class.

Professor Smith was one of the best teachers ive ever had at FLC. Extremely understanding and helpful. She cares more about the students learning rather than the underlying grades. 10/10 recommend.

Absolutely loved this class, especially in comparison to other English 300 that my friends took. Less focus on standard essays and more on building skill and different kinds of projects. Professor is great, easily accessible, and ready to help. The material can be long at times so scheduling and staying on top of it is a must. Overall easy and good

Prof Smith was the best professor I could ever ask for as my first college experience. She had a clear syllabus for both ground and online supporting class. Ground class was fun! She's very personable and encourages classroom discussion that promotes critical thinking and communication skills. Homework is manageable. She tries to use free resources

Professor Smith's English 1C course was fantastic. She uses a grading contract so the stress level was minimal for the whole semester. We used one book for weekly readings and journals and then had a 4 part project for the majority of the term. She's clear, thorough, and hilarious. Absolutely would take another course by her! Totally reccomend.

Professor Smith seems like a wonderful person, but is not a very good professor. She is unprofessional in the classroom, every class period feels like a waste of time. It is so unfortunate because I can tell that she loves what she teaches, and is super smart, but doesn't communicate it very well. She has a super weird grading system too :(

BLACK MIRROR! This was a hybrid class and we did smaller papers and 1 large research project based on episodes of Black Mirror. I learned so much about research and it was super interesting. You have to go to class and professor smith is hella funny.
