Reviews of professor Curtis Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I don't understand the poor reviews. I took him for Homelessness and Society this semester, and the class is very interesting. He's super knowledgeable on the topic due to his previous fieldwork. He repeats the stuff he wants you to know for the midterm and final in every class, which makes it super easy to do well on them. Easy grader, nice guy5/5

His class is interesting, and he is very passionate about immigration. He teaches in a manner that is easy to digest and encourages discussion. The class opens ur eyes to alot of issues and myths about immigration that you hear in the media. Heavy on writing and doing citations properly.

Smith isn't the hardest prof; he mostly grades easily. However, he's mean in emails & doesn't make students feel like they can reach out w/o judgment. Won't remind u of upcoming papers &assumes students will just know from the syllabus w/o bringing anything up. He's a tedious grader, so read his instructions carefully or your grades can drop.

This class is extremely boring, and he drags his lessons until the last second. There is a lot of busy work, and he expects you to do a lot of reading. It is not hard to get a good grade in the class, but you still have to do a lot of work. There are weekly 2-page journals,1-2 research papers,4 article responses,1 midterm, and 1 take-home final.

Personally, I submitted a lot of the assignments late and I talked to him about it and still received full credit. Some classes may seem a little boring but overall not bad at all. Genuine great teacher.
