Comment:
She has off the wall subjects to write about for papers, do not expect an A or B in the class, I had every paper checked at the writing center beforehand and still received C's. She also sent our class one morning on a scavenger hunt...literally for no reason. And is VERY unorganized.

Comment:
I couldn't understand her when she was talking. I kept getting random grades without any explanation on my papers. You have to go to every class because she gives random pop quizzes. They're just one question and if you're late or you miss it you can't make it up. Avoid taking her at all costs.

Comment:
I loved Dr.Smith! I smoked her tests with a blunt and passes. The first ten to fifteen questions are usually irrelevant information but the essay portion she will let you use the text book. She liked me for some odd reason. But hey, I passed her paper when most people failed. I think she liked me?

Comment:
The worst prof ever. She grades impossibly hard, rips apart papers with unreadable criticism, is dull and boring in class, and is unfriendly and unapproachable. The worst teacher i have ever had in my life. Avoid at all costs because if you get her, you will get a poor grade while putting up with her and working your butt off

Comment:
she is the worst professor i have never had the pleasure to have. unless she uses a bullhorn you can not hear or understand what she is teaching. i would NEVER take her again, her tests are ridiculous. she has to you read 10 to 15 stories then picks one sentence from each one and expects you to match it to the author. GOOD LUCK !!!!

I had Dr. Smith for intro to Drama. She went above and beyond her duties, as she showed us movies of the plays and even took a few of us to see Medea in Pittsburgh. She gets mad when people don't show up on time so make sure you show up. I can't say a bad thing about this woman or the plays she made us read, I truely miss sitting in her classroom

Dr. Smith is a horrible instructor. New Criticism out the wazoo! She doesn't students THINK for themselves and rather wants us to give her back her OWN interpretation of a text! Hello, is that learning?

Awful. Boring. By far, the worst prof on campus. Would be better suited as an administrator than in front of classroom.

I was really intimidated by her at first, but she really isn't that bad. If you give her a chance, you really can learn a lot.

She isn't as bad as everyone seems to think. Her personality is strange, but she loves what she does (as most professors) and doesn't seem to grasp that we don't. She also has a tendency seem as if she feels better when students fail her tests.
