Comment:

Smith was one of the most challenging professors that I had during my undergraduate and graduate studies. His expectations were high. To get an A, he demanded that you know the material! But he made time to help you if you asked. Smith did more to prepare me for a successful career that spanned more than 3 decades than any other instructor!

Comment:

This may be the worst class in the communication department...The slides are insane, and the class is fully online. The professor is on a sail boat, and he doesn't care about the students at all. HE ASKS THAT YOU DO NOT EMAIL HIM...WHAT A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE ONLINE CLASS

Being in his class taught me 1 thing. That people who are media comm. majors are ****ing nutz. Thanks to him I changed my major before I ended up 35 and broke off my ass while a 23 year old has my job. All notes are online so you don't have to go to class. I didn't and I walked out w/a high B.

Amazing. Best Professor you will EVER have. You're dumb if you dont take a class with him. He's like my mentor. You just have to take the time to step back from his wackyness and actually listen to him and appreciate and respect him.

I took this online with him, and he was awful. So unclear and weird. He would not update for weeks at a time. Not to mention the class was hard, especially being online.

I havn't had a problem with him yet. I love his class. He's a funny guy and makes jokes all the time. He's not afraid to tell u the truth even when u don't want to hear it. The tests are alittle harder than I thought but as long as u show up and read u're fine. He makes learning easy and fun
