A very nice man, very good professor to have...and his class is easier than the other ENC1101 classes.

Fairly easy class, good man

Very nice guy. Kind of corny sometimes, but means well. He is very clear and is open to student comments and suggestions.

Awesome Class

I can't stress strongly enough how great Dr. Smith is as a person. I would take any class he taught. Cute as well!! A+

Amazing person.... He wil help you with everything you need. the computer class is awesome, it is so nice having a spell checker. BTW thank you very much for your help writing me the petition for paying as resident.

Dr. Smith is an excellent teacher and person. Cares about his students and their education. The class is easy if you do your work which isn't hard, and you will learn a lot.

awsome

He was ok. i know theres an easier enc 2210 prof out there. gets little to excited about it. very nice though. willing to help when asked. doesnt care about late work to a point. threatens to lock the door in the beginning of class but door has only been closed twice and he opened it for later ppl.

He is such a nice, easygoing guy. He doesn't require a lot, and lets you out early almost every class. He can be a bit corny sometimes, but it's funny. He prepared me well for the MCA. I would definitely recommend him.

very helpful in class and easy to get along with

mr. smith was awsome! the class was easy because he made the subject understandable. mr. smith is very approachable on many levels and he's just an all around great teacher.

The class was very informative and helpful. Dr. Smith is very easy to tal to if you are having trouble with assisgnments. I wish I could take him for another class!! Dr. Smith is beyond AWESOME!!!!

Really nice guy!

The best, hands down.

This is a very cool dude. The easiest class on earth. Take him for tech communications.

Smith is a great teacher, very willing to help you out. Take his class. I had it on-line and I recommend that.

Good teacher, quizzes and assignments are online. Easy class but just a lot of assignments to keep up with.

He is AWESOME!! I thought the class was gonna be boring because of the topic, but he made it interesting. He tries so hard to help you pass his class. He is really nice and I would NOT hesitate to go to his office. I HIGHLY reccomend him to anyone who needs the third english at sfcc.

Great class, well organized, and grades assignments quickly! I would take this professor again.

BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! Dr. Smith is the greatest. I took this class on-line and he communicates with his students very well. He's very polite and friendly. He'll also work with you if you have a problem. Just pay attention to the topic, and use the book when writing your papers-- you'll get an A.

Awsome teacher. Lots of work, but each assignment taught me something, and from the first week of the class I could tell me skills improving. The course isn't easy, but its definatly a nice break from all the ENC1101 and 1102 BS that bores you to death.

My favorite Santa Fe teacher very fair and down to earth, makes you want to learn the stuff even though its boring

BEST TEACHER EVER!!! SO helpful and SO nice! I did the Eng Tech online, and its a LOT better than sitting threw a class. If you have to take it, do it online with him. Hes the BEST!

Awesome teacher. I absolutely loved having him even though I dreaded this class. I admit there were alot of papers due in such a short amount of time(Summer B). Gave us 40pts just because. Overall got a B in the course. His comments on papers are unclear but if you email him and ask he will clarify them for you. Quick responses and always helpful.

Dr. Smith is an AWESOME teacher! I took this class online and was able to communicate a lot with him throughout the semester. He was VERY helpful when anyone had a question, and he made the class fun. He is willing to look over drafts and make helpful comments on your work. I would definitely recommend taking Dr. Smith. Now I actually LIKE writing!

He is very helpful, knows exactly what he's doing, and gives very clear guidelines on how to do the assignments. He gives a lot of extra credit. You can Easily get an A if you do most of your assignments and the drafts. However, 1/3 of ur grade depends on your Final Report which is a direct application of everything learned throughout the semester.

Dr. Smith is a-w-e-s-o-m-e!

MR. CLAY IS THE BEST ENG. PROFESSOR I'VE HAD EVER! HE'S SO UNDERSTANDING- I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT (AND HAD MORNING SICKNESS) AND HE LET ME FINISH THE CLASS ONLINE... SO I COULD SLEEP IN AND AVOID MORNING SICKNESS. I LOVE HIM FOR THAT. READING THE BOOK WAS MANDATORY, AS WELL AS TAKING QUIZES BUT IT WAS WORTH THE B+. YOU WILL ENJOY THIS CLASS.

Dr. Smith is a pretty cool guy. A little tough on the grading but Angel kept breaking down and he was really cool about it and either gave us extensions or would just give everybody a 100 if the problem wasn't fixable. I got an A in his class but I wouldn't recommend taking him online due to his grading.

This was an online class and Angel really hindered us this semester. Dr. Smith was more than generous with extensions or just gave us an A. This is one of the 1st courses I have taken that we actually read the entire book. Very approachable professor and wish there were more like him.

He is a good teacher and knows a lot about tech comm but do not take him for honors! He gives so much unnecessary work. Weekly assignments take at least 8 hours and have to be perfect. Also have to read a chapter from the book and take a quiz before every class. Either take him not honors or find another prof.

Great class! We did writing assignments one a week and as long as u payed attention in class you were set, cause they were just summaries. He gave lots of extra credit for those who were willing to do a little extra work. THose who worked ahead and had As at the end of the semester did not have to write final paper. Over all best English teacher

Smith is the best teacher i have had so far in SFC. He gave a ton of extra credit at the end of the course. Just do your work and it will all pay off in the end.

Dr. Smith is an excellent english professor. He only assigned 1 writing assignment(2 paragraph's) each week. Overall, his quirkyness and good nature pay off because he assign's lots of extra credit, and is willing to work with students to make sure they receive the highest grade possible. Most students don't even have to write their final papers.

Papers are assigned every week, but they are short and fairly easy to write. It is entirely possible to get Bs and Cs on all you papers and pull off an A in the class. Although the class can get pretty redundant, there is TONS of extra credit and he is extremely helpful. Do your work and you'll easily get an A

This is truly a teacher who cares about his students. He will go to the ends of the earth to help his students out. His class is writing intensive. However, the writing assignments are not hard at all. He believes that quizes are to aid your learning so they will be open book.

very organized and honest. willing to help you,you can learn alot from him!

Very nice teacher. just do the work and extra credit and you will pass over an A++, plus if you like cartoon network then he is your teacher

I had Dr Smith last semester, best teacher at SFC yet, he assigns weekly papers and gives you constructive criticism to improve your work. If you take his advice I promise you will learn something. He's a very lenient teacher and will go to any length to help his students. Awesome teacher!

If i could take him again, i would in a heart beat. He is easy going and understanding. I wrote my final paper about zombies and he was overjoyed about it. Defiantly recommend!!!!!

he is a great professor

Mr.Smith was a very good professor. he made class interesting and is very gracous with grades. as long as you show that your trying, he will give you a good grade. He tries to make the class aware humanitarian issues and expand our minds. The only negaitve i would say is that he speaks off topic alot.

Dr. Smith is very helpful and shows a real interest in helping his students succeed. He is very graceful when it comes to grades and always offers assistance and his availability. Take his class and enjoy getting your required credits done!

To put it simply, TAKE DR.SMITH. Very understanding, extremely helpful, lets you out early a lot. Tons of extra credit, and flexible due dates. He keeps class interesting and light. He'll go through most of assignments in class so you do benefit from going. I wish he taught 1102. Grammer quizzes/reading quizzes are online. No time limit

GREATEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD! TAKE HIM HE IS AMAZING! HE IS NOT JUST A TEACHER, BUT HE IS THE MOST NICESET SWEETEST MAN YOU WILL EVER MEET! HE OPENS YOUR EYES TO A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF LEARNING! TAKE HIM YOU WILL GET AN A++++ HE IS VERY STRAIGHT FORWARDS AND VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND! HE HAS A LOT OF PATIENCE! TAKE HIM A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT TOO! =D A+

Professor Smith puts a lot of time into preparing assignments, so he expects a lot out of them, especially the writing assignments. He has very high expectations and is very particular about the details, especially formatting, margins, use of headings, etc. If you follow his expectations to the letter, you will do very well.

Follow the instructions to the letter, turn in assignments, format everything as if your life depended on it, be careful with tricky questions in the quizzes and you will do fantastic. He is fair, very clear as to what he wants, and a funny guy. The only thing I don't like are the tricky questions. But not a deal breaker.

Dr. Clay Smith is a very intelligent professor who in my view, truly understands writing like the back of his hand. He's very understanding, explains things very cleary, and makes class fun! Wanting to help you succeed and become a great writer, Dr. Smith is very helpful and seems to really care about his students. Definitely my favorite teacher!!

My favorite Professor ever. He is so funny and easy to get along with. There is a lot of writing, but nothing to sweat over. He helps you out A LOT and let me turn in a few assignments late. Take him, seriously.

This class is hard, the instructions must be followed exactly. He is helpful and gives feedback, but with so many writing rules, it's EASY to fail on papers. Never miss an assignment and do the best you can on everything!!!

Clay Smith is easily one of Santa Fe's GREATEST professors. I earned an A on his online Tech Comm course during a really rough time. There's no doubt in my mind that this guy genuinely wants every individual student to succeed. He clearly lays out his expectations, provides excellent feedback, and seems to always be available for assistance.

He was was one of my favorite teachers! He's funny and real easy to get along with. He tries to make your experience enjoyable. Just be sure to follow all instructions on assignments. I didn't really use my textbook but some assignents require them. Hes actually pretty helpful, I ended the class with a B+ so yeah it wasn't a hard class.

He is one of my favorite professors. He is really funny and we talked about Star Wars and whatnot a lot before class would start. He WILL help you out a lot with grading and will get you a second chance on mostly....EVERYTHING. I thought I got a D in this class and almost got an A. He explains the assignments and gives you examples and instructions

He walks you through the lessons and is helpful. If you don't want an assignment due every week then I don't suggest him. You do a lot of work but it's all pretty easy. You don't take any tests in this class, just a lot of writing.

very passionate about teaching. Simple papers due every week. Loves to use templates which are extremely helpfull! and overall makes his lessons extremely easy for students to pass the course. HIGHLY SUGGEST HIM

Dr. Smith is awesome! He asks for single paragraph assignments each week and gives templates for more involved assignments. He is very clear and helpful, if you ask! If you commit yourself to his class, you will earn a good grade!

Dr. Smith is an awesome professor. He is very helpful and replies to emails promptly. He is a very understanding professor. This text had the best section for citing references.

Dr. Smith is great. He is helpful in every way possible. There is a lot of writing involved in his GEB3213 class but he does his best help everyone. He's understanding and easy going. I highly recommend him.

i really enjoyed taking Mr. Smith's class! He is a very helpgul instrucuture and cares about the well being of his students! the class is an easy A.i definitely recommend this teacher.

Amazing teacher, friendly and helpful. Made me want to switch to an english major. I would completely take this class again! Instructions are clear, always answers emails during school hours. Great guy, very flexible on turn-in dates. You will get whatever grade you earn, but there are ample extra credit opportunities.

great guy. super nice. flexible with turn in dates. isn't one of those evil professors. what you do in class is for or part of your assignments. Take him. Its not a hard class as long as you attend the classes.

super awesome! very understanding and flexible with due dates. so much extra credit! DO IT! It raises your grade 5% points. I slacked off but my other classmates did exceptionally well. do the papers! its worth your time and he lets you redo them. great teacher! id do it over again. very funny!

Dr. Smith is by far the best professor that I've ever had in Santa Fe. I learnt a lot in this class.. His grading was very fair , he's very lenient when you explain to him the reason as to why you're submitting your work late, he outlines his syllabus on the calendar clearly and has lots of extra credit opportunities.Highly recommend him!

Dr. Smith is such a lovely teacher. That's all that needs to be said.

Amazing professor, but more than a professor is an amazing person, recommended 100% he really will help you if you are interested in to, amazing profesor

Tends to change assignments at the last minute but extends the due dates. That is fine as long as you have not completed the work yet. He is very accommodating and flexible given the circumstances. The beginning of the class is lot of reading and quizzes to get through the text book but they get easier.

Do the work and you will pass. The content is not rocket science. Changes assignements after the fact which could be a problem if you work ahead and have already completed the orginial assignment. He is available if you ask for help and very reasonable.

Professor Smith is funny and tries to make lectures interesting. A lot of online chap. quizzes- pretty easy. 10 writing assignments throughout the semester and 3 major assignments. No final but a major 2 part assignment. Not hard to pass- go to class and do the work. Prof. Smith is really understanding and helpful if you just ask! Would take again!

Dr. Smith ROCKS!!! OMG like if I could take him for every class I totally would!! He is totally awesome in every way! He is willing to work with you to get the grade that you want. Do the work and you will get a high grade!! He is cool just to hangout with, and you wont want to take any other teacher! I'm taking him again in the fall. TAKE HIM!!

Dr. Smith is by far the best teacher I have had. He is willing to work with you and help you succeed, if you want to. There is a lot of work and you have to put in many hours but, if you're willing to do the work he is willing to help you succeed. Great Professor!!

Professor Smith is by far one of the best Professors at Santa Fe. I have never had a Professor like Dr. Smith who takes the time to analyze and provide the type of feedback needed on assignments to ensure a successful outcome. If you present your work to him for review prior to the due date, there is no way you will not receive a passing grade.

Allows students the opportunity to turn in work multiple time for his review until the assignment is due. Gives feedback that makes you think critically about the writing and how to correct the paper. Holds the class to the standards of the program.

Clay Smith is by far the best Professor at Santa Fe. He is kind-hearted, caring, and wants to see his students succeed. This was my last course before graduation and Dr. Smith made sure to end my Santa Fe chapter on a high note. I have nothing but love, respect, and amazing things to say about this professor. He hopes for the best of his students!

Great teacher! He is very helpful, especially when it comes to review your assignments. As long as you do your work and ask for feedback you will do good in the class. Dr. Smith gives amazing feedback and he is very specific, which help you a lot. I had a low C during the semester and I finished with a B due to his help and explanations. Take him

Professor Smith is one of the best teachers I've had at Santa Fe. He genuinely cares about his students and wants to help you succeed. The assignments are clearly laid out and if you ask, he will gladly review your work prior to the deadline and provide excellent feedback. He will help you become a better technical writer if you put in the work.

I love this teacher. He's great at what he does, gives you many chances to submit drafts before it's due, provides feedback same or next day. Textbook is cheap. Best writing teacher I've had. If you get confused, simply make a meeting and he'll do his best to help.

Dr. Clay is an amazing professor. You will have a quiz every week, but nothing you cannot pass. He provides Super clear instructions and is always ready to help. Professor Clay provides great feedback and helps you understand what you need to do to improve. This class will help you in school and in your professional life. Certainly recommend this.

Best professor I've had to date! Very courteous, kind, compassionate, and caring. Willing to help you in any way possible if you communicate with him. Feedback comments were always positive and uplifting. Always provided his faith in my abilities and made me feel confident in my work. Would take him for every class if I could. He is exceptional!!!!

Professor Smith is my favorite professor. Its been my first semester at college, and he has super helpful and truly shown that he cares for his students. I ADVISE that IF YOU TAKE HIS CLASS, you show up. His class is much easier if you can here what he is teaching. Hes super approachable, and doesnt see the point in wasting 80$ on a book.

Professor Smith is an excellent teacher, show up to class and pay attention and he practically writes the assignments for you. He is easy to approach and gives good feedback. Would definitely take him again if he is ever an option in future classes.

Amazing professor would definitely take him again if the chance comes up. His class is very straight forward he will literally do most of the assignments with you. The structure of each ICE is the same. He his a tough grader and will take major points off for anything incorrect but he's a wonderful professor and talking to him 1 on 1 is helpful.

The online class requires a lot of writing, but he will review everything. He will provide you with excellent feedback if you ask for it!

Dr. Smith is an excellent teacher. He will give you great feedback on your papers. Stay focused on your work and communicate. Not an easy class, but a great class and a professor I recommend.

Dr. Smith takes a rather ordinary topic like technical communication and brings it to life. Could not have asked for a better prof - he's funny, he's dedicated, and not only does he want you to pass his class, but he cares about what his students take away from the class. There aren't enough kind words in the English language to praise him enough!

Dr. Smith is a pretty tough grader, but he really does care about the success of his students and gives lots of feedback. There are lots of assignments, but he gives many extra credit opportunities throughout the semester so definitely take advantage of those. As long as you stay focused and turn in the work that's assigned, you'll be fine!

Very challenging class, a lot of writing assignments - some are very indepth. Easy quizzes, no exams, no final exam, no book! Dr. Smith is a tough grader but he cares aobut his students. When the pandemic hit, he removed all deadlines, sent almost daily inspiring messages and did everything he could to help us pass. Thank you Dr. Smtih!

Great teacher that really cares about the students success. Work do almost everyday besides the weekend but its easy work for the most part as long as you are doing tour part. Very responsive to emails and gives great feedback to ensure you do well on an assignment. I would recommend doing the work early so he can review it and help correct it!

I have never been a good writer and have struggled putting words on paper. This professor, however, never gave up on me, gave me specific feedback, and revised my work multiple times in order for me to succeed. He also offers several extra credit opportunities. If you work hard and show respect you will pass this class with ease and learn a lot!

Dr. Smith doesn't gets the credit he deserves. Yes, he expects a lot from his students. Yes, there are a lot of assignments. Yes, there is a lot of writing. But HELLO, this is professional writing! You can work ahead and submit your assignments for feedback and then resubmit. If you do what he asks, you'll get a 100. Overall, great professor!

Great professor, always there to answer questions via Email and will review all of your drafts with detailed corrections. If you put in the work and seek help there is no reason to not get an A. Best online teacher I have ever had. Do not trust the low points given by slackers.

I recommend Dr. Smith to any student willing to put in effort to succeed in his class. I learned the most from him than I have from any professor and he really inspired me to continue to pursue a degree in english. He really cares about his student and wants them to succeed. I would take him again if I could !

He is very respectful of students and in turn, asks for respect. Although some assignments can seem daunting, he is there to help you succeed. Plan to work ahead, turn in a draft ahead of the assignment due date, and he will tell you everything you need to do to get 100% on all assignments. He offers ample opportunity to earn extra credit.

One of the best professors I have ever had. Gives amazing feedback and really helps you improve your professional writing (allows draft submissions and shows you how to improve). There is no reason to fail this class unless you slack off, he provides all material and gives plenty of examples. If you need help he is always there.

Dr. Smith gives VERY specific instructions for his assignments as well as providing many examples that you can sometimes copy into your own work. He will also revise your work as often as needed to help you get a perfect score. If you reach out to him he will work with you to extend due dates on any assignment, he is incredibly understanding.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! This class takes time and effort, but Dr. Smith wants everyone to succeed. The work can be challenging, but if you ask for help Dr. Smith will do everything to ensure you have all the tools necessary to pass. I wish all professors were like him.

Dr. Smith is a great professor. I would highly recommend taking any of his classes. The classes are NOT simple, but he does work with each student to ensure they'll get a good grade. He is very accessible and will spend 1 on 1 time as needed. If you're willing to work, you'll definitely learn a lot from Dr. Smith.

The other reviews shocked me. I took him my first semester of college and i'm not a good writer at all. You don't write papers in the class it is just short assignments. He's super nice and if you try to have a relationship with him he's even nicer. The workload is light. There are quizzes from the textbook due at the end of the class. No major pps

EASY. I don't think any of our writing assignments were more than a few paragraphs except 1 which was about 2-3 pages. Writing assignments are specific but it avoids you getting a bad grade so read directions & he does allow you to turn in a draft of any assignment for him to view before you turn it in officially. He was awesome & super helpful!

Dr. Smith is an incredibly passionate and caring teacher. he is my absolute favorite professor I have ever had. grades easily and will be lenient on deadlines if you communicate with him. Highly recommend him!!

Dr. Smith is an AWESOME professor and truly cares about his students. He provides an online textbook and is lecture heavy but the assignments are pretty straight forward and easy, providing you put forth the effort. He also provides great feedback and offers to review your work prior to the deadline. Take his class, I promise you won't regret it.

Dr. Smith is very helpful, easy to approach, gives you lot of extra credit. Just remember the syllabus and his example or pattern on how to do the essay. Gives you a lot of time to revised your work. Accept late homework. if you have a problem just talk to him after class.

Professor Smith is an amazing teacher! He is truly passionate about his work and his students! He will review each assignment you turn in, and direct you on what to say and write, and allow you to turn it in for full credit. He cares more about your learning rather than getting everything right the first time. I highly, highly suggest him!

Dr. Smith is a tough grader - BUT that is because he provides you with a tremendous amount of resources to get a perfect grade. If you submit your assignments ahead of time - he will review them and provide tons of feedback for corrections. This is a class you do not want to get behind in. If you put in the effort, it doesn't go unnoticed by him.

He teaches life lessons and materials that will be used in the workforce. Dr. Smith is the BEST professor I have had, if you have questions just email him. He is a tough grader but if you complete the assignments early he will give feedback and highlight what exactly needs fixed. He makes this class much easier than it could be 10/10 recommend

I have not yet met a professor better than him. One of the only classes that I can confidently say I learned.

Dr. Smith is an amazing professor, and his LIT1000 class is easily my favorite college class I've taken. He genuinely cares about his students and wants the best for them.

Prof.Smith is a great professor for technical communications. He gives easy to follow instructions and great feedback. There is extra credit and a lot of assignments but they are not very difficult once you figure out how to do them. Overall, he is a fair grader and gives clear instructions.

Prof.Smith gives his students a lot of templates and information for each assignment. He responds to questions and grades drafts in a timely manner. He is passionate about his work and he just wants his students to succeed. Take him he's an awesome professor!

Dr. Smith is a great and caring teacher. He can be a tough grader but submitting drafts really helps. Make sure to complete the extra credit opportunities, ask for extensions, and stay a few days ahead on the work or else you'll fall behind.

I really enjoyed Dr. Smith's class; he improved my writing and time management skills. He is kind and understanding but a tough grader. I earned an A partly due to having taken his Tech Comm class before. If you take his course, use his draft reviews and email during office hours. Stay ahead of the substantial workload.

Professor Smith is great - he provides detailed feedback and templates to guide you. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of it. Unstuckstudy was a huge help for prep. Overall, an engaging class with a fair grader.

This class is relatively straightforward with only about a discussion a week and a couple of "large assignments". Professor Smith provides everything you need: templates, expectations, and draft reviews. You do have to complete assignments ahead of time but in the end, it makes his class workload light. Overall, Professor Smith is great!

This professor is very good he helped me in this class since I was struggling but I made sure to submit all my assignments and extra credit. This class is a writing intensive so I would recommend to use the library a lot or even email him he always responds.He is very nice and I recommend him.

i love mr smith so much he's so nice and sweet, he's very understanding and i wish nothing but the best for him

Dr. Smith is outstanding! He genuinely cares about his students! He helped me make connections to receive aid. He always responds to emails and gives wonderful feedback. He lets you submit drafts of papers, and breaks down what can be improved and how! He gives so much support and acknowledges successes, which a lot of professors don't do nowadays!

Dr. Smith is a kindhearted, compassionate professor who truly cares. He offers plenty of extra credit and is flexible with deadlines. His class takes effort, but he supports you every step of the way. Many negative reviews come from students who were not willing to put in the work. If you try, you will succeed.

Professor Smith is an AMAZING instructor. He's incredibly helpful, always responsive, and provides thoughtful feedback that has improved my writing. His dedication to student success, even in an online setting, is unmatched. If I could take every class with him, I absolutely would. My favorite professor to date.
