Comment:
I am so glad this class is over with because I regret taking it with this professor. She is condescending, her instructions can be vague and unclear, and it seems like she is more than willing to hand out 0's . When you ask questions, be prepared for a condescending overtone in response. Although I did well, I noticed too many others didn't.

If you show up and take notes then you should be fine. I didn't have to write any papers, we just had tests and presentations. She is nit-picky but she's not too bad. She's really interested in what she is teaching and I learned a lot from the class.

Previous comments are completely irrelevant. Go to class and take good notes (she writes everything on the board), and provided you put in at least 5 hrs studying time, you'll do well. This class isn't difficult and Dr. Smith is very helpful!

Comment:
Took amazing notes and attended every lecture but still got a D on my first exam. Her grading is ridiculous and she focuses on miniscule details rather than important topics. Prepare to work HARD and study for hours on end or don't take this class

Her class is impossible. I spent SO much time studying for the final..read over material inside and out & still failed it. She teaches a 100 level course as if she were teaching a 400 level course. we don't know everything about geog. and if we did we obviously wouldnt be taking your class!! Its like she wants you to fail

Comment:
do NOT take. I read the book, came to class, took LOTS of notes, met with her during office hours about the paper(which was almost impossible to write)& about how to improve my grade and STILL got a D+ in her class. There are things on her tests that havent been taught and the way she words her questions are confusing. stay away AT ALL COSTS!!!

Wow, through class you seem like you know the info taking notes. You go to study for the test and read the chapters, make notecards from the books and your notes. Then on the tests are tiny details from the book that have little or nothing to do with what was learned in class. Test us on what we learned, not random facts! Stay away from this class

The class was ridiculous. Her exams were very opinionated and when grading the essays we had to write, on a topic we could not choose, she focused way too much on grammar. I thought I was taking geography. Don't take this class.

worst teacher ever. has no understanding for her students and seems to pick attitudes if things are done her way. her lectures are NOTHING like her exams. she automatically assumes you have history/geog. backgrounds. and her projects = useless. AWFUL. PLEASE AVOID!!!!

Comment:
She was really nice & quite clear with the lecture. She wrote all the important stuff on the board & while her method of doing group projects is wierd, overall I really was happy I took her. Took her over winter, and she sounds soo much better than the prof that teaches Fall/Spring (Veness I think). Take her if you need the class!

Comes across very cold. Difficult exams. Most students have her early (fresh/soph year) and she is DEMANDING - be prepared to WORK. Will help if approached. In my opinion she is too touch on her students for the type of material taught - I have seen much better approaches. Suggest u find another sec

Had her for both 207 & 208. If you memorized everything in your notes you did fine. I applied for an internship after freshman yr and she was the only bio prof I had and she wouldn't write a reference for me. She's doesn't seem to care about students.
