Comment:
Great respect for Smith. He cares about students and what he's teaching. Before taking his class, I knew nothing about Econ; after the course, I learn a little bit, which was enough he said. He would recommend you to get the WSJ subsriptions, and that proved to be a great idea; believe me if you really care about Macro. His tests were hard.

Comment:
Smith is technically retired, but he picks up a section or so that they need a teacher for every semester. At the beginning of his classes, he tells you exactly how things will go and how to get an A. His lectures are great, he loves questions, and has a very straight-forward approach with students. I would kill to take 121 with him, too. A+ Teach!

his lecture is very helpful and easy to listen to. He uses real life stuff to make the info seem worth learning. Larry has a great passion for micro economics... The test are exactly like he says theyll be and he gives up to 20 points extra credit. Thumbs up to Larry Smith!!!

Comment:
This proffesor is nice enough and welling meaning. His lectures clear and informative. On occasion he does get a little repetitive and goes off topic. I will say that as far Economics class goes his class will be the easiest. Everyone else seems to like him a lot. However, I just don't care for the hokey grandpa sense of humor too much.

Comment:
He goes out of his way to make sure you understand the material. His tests are simple and to the point, he actually tells you what's going to be on the test! If Econ is not your strong point, take advantage of his quizzes- they are easy and will help you in the end. He rarely assigns homework, except for quizzes and readings.

Comment:
Professor Smith is an excellent economist who gives you different perspectives on how to look at the economy. The reason people do not do well in these types of courses is because they fail to try. Professor Smith gives you all the tools necessary to succeed. He is also very approachable for questions. He wants to see you succeed.

Comment:
Great Teacher, Fun class, Econ is hard and requires lots of studying so cant blame the teacher for that. But he makes it fun and tells you exactly what will be on the test and where to look to study it so what more do you need, short of the answers?

Smith is the best teacher at Grossmont. He is very amusing and makes the topics very easy to grasp. Read the book, this class is all about repetition so do the problems in the study guide. He will help you out a lot. He is like a grandpa.

Comment:
ECON is a tough subject, but Mr. Smith does an excellent job making a dry subject somewhat interesting. Great teacher. Hard tests, but all ECON tests are hard. You definately need to study for this or any ECON class. If I had any more ECON classes I needed to take, I'd seek out his class.
