Smart is smart. There is a lot of reading so be prepared to pick it apart for the info he will put on the tests. Tests are super long but I felt like the geography tests were a breeze. Study and ask questions: you'll do great!

Comment:
There are no essays in his classes. Instead, he has geography quizzes, history tests, and a research paper. The tests are curved and include material that you must read in your textbook (but are us. on the study guide). He tells you exactly what will be on the geography quizzes. His lectures are interesting, and he relates topics to modern times.

Class moves along pretty quickly, always willing to answer questions over the tons of reading. Just know all of the readings and you will do fine on the tests. Curves the historical tests- not good if you have people who get high grades though

Smart is a pretty good bloke, but I warn you that if you take early modern europe, he will talk about connections to radical islam all the time!

I loved Dr. Smart, he knows EVERYTHING about European history and can be pretty funny at times. Lectures are interesting- he tells them like a story and makes connections between material and current events to make it seem more relevant. Tests weren't too difficult if you studied. Really enjoyed the class and would recommend it to anyone.

Comment:
Smart's a fairly likeable character, but though his lectures are interesting, you can't take the best of notes from the way he gives you all the info. Know geography, he implements it in each class and there are tests over it. Read all the readings or you're basically screwed on the midterm and final. Covers lots of info, make sure you know it.

big on memorization of random facts. Difficult grader whose "lectures" don't seem to help at all. I will admit that he has a nice personality, but he's ceratinly not one of my favorite teachers.

Dr. Smart is extremely intelligent. He knows his stuff and i would love to pickle his brain to keep around for historical data.....too bad though it posseses a rotton conservative core. His favorite "No good deed goes unpunished"

Tests are extremely long and hard. You have to study EVERY little detail from all the readings he gives you. He is really nice though and helpful if you go for office hours. I wouldn't recommend this class if you aren't good with history details. I thought it was really hard and I got all A's in high school history.

This is my favorite professor ever- i had him for a freshman class and have loved him ever since! He knows all about history, but isn't pretentious about it.

I LOVE Smart! It's too bad I'm finished with my history requirements or I would take him again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend. The class is easy if you study.
