Comment:
I took this lab/lecture combo on summ sess. Saw Smiddy a few times but didn't care for her personality. My TA (B. Singhal) was extremely helpful though. She always took time to explain things thoroughly. They tell you from the start that it takes commitment so if you study every week and go over your guides for the practicals, you can ace this lab!

Comment:
Smiddy is tough on all students, but especially tough on those who are not putting the effort in. She will help you if she sees that you are actually trying, no she won't give you the answer, but she will point you in the right direction. These are biology labs, they are not meant to be easy.

Comment:
Smiddy is extremely knowledgeable about the course but is unnecessarily rude. Professors shouldn't make students feel scared to approach them, especially with a subject like Microbiology. Smiddy speaks with no form of courtesy to her students AND TAs. I dread her classes & it is unfortunate she is the lab coordinator for all the science courses.

Smiddy is a great professor she knows what she is doing and is really good at conveying the information in the time allotted. Yes, she is hard but that is what college is about in order for you to be successful you have to work at it! If you prepare ahead of time and do exactly what Smiddy or the TA says then you will do fine!

Smitty is a no-nonsense gal. She is tough, and in a single week saw her make 2 people cry! But, she knows her stuff. Don't let her scare you, just do what you're supposed to and you'll survive!

Comment:
Smiddy is not a very nice person at all! Unforetunately, nothing can be done about it, and you can't avoid taking her class if you are Biology major. She takes care of numerous Biology labs, good thing is the TAs do all the teaching, bad thing is she grades most of the projects. Just rely on your TA, you will do good. Even her TAs think she is rude

I will admit, her personality is a little rough at first but if you take the time to get to know her she is great! She lays all expectations out on the table the first day and if you want an A in the class you had better be prepared to earn it! She relies a lot on her TAs but she will answers questions but you have to ask her. Excellent class!

Comment:
Pretty scary at first. However, she does alot of the work behind the scenes so you barely see her. Pray that your TA is smart and cool, bc that's what everything depends on. I got a TA that hadn't looked at a microscope in years and my grade suffered. Smiddy tries to eliminate those that just want to get by. Midterm is alot harder than final.

She scares me. Horrible professor who yells when something goes wrong. Told me I should just drop out and change my major. Said I would fail and I ended up with a B because I studied my ass off. DO NOT TAKE HER

She is rude and she hardly really taught the class. The TA did all the work. The TA, Jenny was the best. She was very nice and very helpful. If you plan to take this class, pray for good TA.

Smiddy is great! Crustiness is just part of her charm! She does not treat people like they are stupid, she just does not baby anyone. This is college and she expects people to work hard. She is also very helpful and has some great stories, if you are willing to get to know her. She really knows her stuff!

Comment:
Yall have her all wrong. She is super funny. She just has a very dry since of humor and it makes her come off rude. Try staying after class and actually getting to know her. She really is hilarious and is willing to help learn the material. There's way too much info to be bugging her in class with questions so again just stay after and ask.

She is very rude and the way she speaks to people just blows my mind. I was always nice and respectful toward her, but she treated me horribly! I would definitely advise AGAINST taking any of her classes!

Comment:
I agree with the first comment. I have decided to transfer schools because I feel like I would be unsuccessful taking her in botany and micro due to her poor attitude and unacceptable tone when she talks with students. I have heard many, many people leave TWU because of her and I have personally pointed several in another direction myself.

Comment:
You know, if she didn't talk to her students like they were stupid and understood that family emergencies and illnesses do prevent people from making it to lab..then things would be better. She is completely rude and has negatively shaped my view on ecology due to her inability and refusal to be supportive. Definitely poorly impacted my schooling.

People who are rude to her and who disrespect her rules do not get very far. If you can be nice to her, respect her, and maybe make her laugh, you will do fine! She can be very supportive -- even though i have friends who didnt like her, it was their fault. Sometimes i think our generation should just grow up and quit blaming good professors.

Smiddy, where do I begin? You can't escape her if you're a science major, and I'm pretty sure many people have transferred to get away. She's awful. If you want to do physical labor for a one credit class, don't take her. If you don't, still don't take her.
