Personally, she's really nice, and always willing to help. Taking ntoes can be rather difficult. I've found she likes to jump between topics sometimes, so my notes were jumbled with stuff we didn't really need to know. Her tests are EASY once you figure out her system. She'll give you a study guide that's pretty much the test.

she makes an outline for the class, she gives you study guides for every test, the tests are over new stuff everytime, and she is freaking awesome. she gives you hints for the pop quiz and the quizzes are easy. GREAT TEACHER!

Keep up with the studying guides in class, and the tests are a breeze. Boring at times, but overall an easy course

she is a very nice professor. she tells you what is on the test and quizs. attendance is part of your grade, but it helps you more than it hurts.

Classes are kinda on the boring side and i love history. She cares a lot about your grade and will help you as much as possible. Def. go to the study sessions held by the GA... it helps A LOT! Tests are a little on the hard side. She words things weird. Pretty easy grade.

If you love history then take her and spend some time after class talking about it. She definitely has interest in it and will help you if you ask. You can do the written assignments first thing and get them out of the way at the beginning of the semester and then just worry about the tests. Study and it's easy!

Very easy.She gives you a study guide for each test.Use the study guide and you will pass the tests easily.

It is stupid not to take her. She spoon feeds you all the test material in class and in her study sessions. She is strict about talking in class and cell phones. SHE WILL CALL YOU OUT. But all in all shes pretty nice.

janet is rather boring! her study sessions are very helpfull however i have only missed a day or two and i hav a C..her tests are hard..some questinos come str8 from study sessions others are just pulled from her behind..probably the best history teacher but u gotta apply urself

Boring!! But she really cares about history, and her students. I'd take her class again.

She gives study groups that clarify the test questions. Quiz's are hard if you dont listen. A pretty interesting class.

Smith is a terrific teacher! You have to pay attention and take good notes but she covers everything in the exams/quizzes in her lectures. The study groups help to focus on what you need to study for the exam. She is strict in regards to cell phones and talking, but in a class of 150+ who can blame her?

She was great and really easy. She gives out study guides that are basically the tests (which are multiple choice). Her GA's also hold study groups that tell you what you need to know for the tests.

This is such a wondeful teacher. I have her this semester and she is just so very helpful, and flexible. The first day of class she gives out EXAM study guides with everything we need to know for the exams (which is VERY helpful). Although the class contains over 100 students, she is wonderful with helping students individually and after hours. A++

She is a very nice lady, but I think she's a very mediocre teacher. She makes history boring, in all honesty. She has no enthusiasm at all while teaching. Her tests have stuff on them that she didn't mention in the lectures. Her homework assignments are reasonable and easy though.

She is a very good teacher. She can be a little boring but it is a very easy class as long as you study and take notes. She gives you a study guide that outlines each test in the exact order of the questions. You also have 3 writing assignments, as long as you try u will get a 100 on them. Highly recommended! P.S. when she offers a review, Stay!

Great teacher!!! Test aren't hard if you go to class and do the reading. She is pretty helpful. I would recommend her.

Very fair teacher and pretty interesting in lecture. Tests are pretty hard but other assignments are easy.

If you don't get an A or B in this class it is your fault. Homework assignments are easy, and she gives you a study guide that lists what each test question will be about in order that it comes up on test, I mean come on do you want her to take the test for you too?

Good teacher to take, if you try, do the work, you'll pass without an issue. If you lay out of class, you can fail easily. Only knock is she is VERY liberal and is damn proud of it and voices it in the classroom, but she does NOT grade that way. She is a very fair grader and respects you as a student. I reccommend taking her.

She gives out a detailed listing of the topic of every test question. The tests come from her lecture outline that she makes available on D2L. She offers to look over your notes to see if you've missed anything. Slightly boring,but I was very happy with her class. If you are a good student she will work with you all she can.

Great Teacher, Gives students plenty, plenty of opportunities to pass, exams only make up 60% of the final grade, all the rest of the points are easily accumulated, if you attend class and the short study sessions you shouldn't have a problem with her class.

tests are difficult. go to study sessions they will help out.

was an ok teacher

With minimal studying I passed with an A. Go to study sessions, look over notes before the test, read the questions carefully, and you won't have a problem. Also try getting a seat close to the front, she can be difficult to hear sometimes.

She is a good teacher. Her class is tough, but she just wants you to learn. She is very helpful. Go to the study groups, they are a big help. Study HARD for her tests.

She was a great teacher. She spoonfeeds you what will be on the tests and quizzes. If you show up for class, take notes, complete the study guide and go to the study sessions, you will have no problem. She's flexible and understanding of your outside life.

I love this class, she is really easy to understand what she is teaching!!!! She doesn't care if you come to class, but it would be very hard to catch up if you mished days. She only gives out 3 written assignments which are really easy!!! I really enjoyed history because of her

I really enjoyed this class, and I was dreading it b/c I usually find history boring. She explained everything logically and it was really easy to remember. Don't miss a lot of classes, you'll be lost if you do. She has tricky questions on her tests, but if you've paid attention and understood her lectures, you'll know the right answer.

Ms. Smith is AWESOME! She laid everything in out the syllabus. She is very straightforward and the writing assignments are very easy. The tests were tough, but just fill out the study guide and you'll do great. Beware of 8:15 classes though you'll fall asleep!

She is a great teacher. She pretty much gives you everything you need to know for the tests. She gives you a study guide that has every thing on it, you just have to fill it out. She even lets you send the study guide in and she will tell you more of what she wants on it. It's an easy class.

Janet Smith is excellent. She is quick witted and a bit brash, but overall an easy class. SHE HANDS YOU THE ANSWERS TO EXAMS. HANDS THEM TO YOU. If you do poorly in this class, you are simply lazy. I didn't pick up the book once and made an A. She is tops.

I love Mrs. Smith!! You want someone who loves history, knows what it's like to be a student, & takes the time to get to know you? Take SMITH! It's impossible to fail--just show up (I sat 1st row)& she helps you every step of the way. Plus she tells great stories about history's "behind the scenes." LOVE!

I don't recommend her class if you aren't a good test taker. Her test are very difficult. I struggled with them. She gives you a study guide, but its just a general overview of things on the test, so its not that helpful.

Awesome Professor, excellent teacher!

I loved Professor Smith! She helped as much as she possibly could. This is not an easy class though, you must study and take notes. I took notes everyday and studied for about an hour or two and I made an A+! It takes time and work but it's a pretty simple class. I would definitely take Smith again.

Mrs. Smith's class was relatively easy. It requires a bit of studying, but nothing too hard to handle. Her lectures can be a little boring, but if you can make yourself pay attention, you will get everything you need from them to pass the tests. Overall, she is good instructor, but gets in bad moods randomly. I ended up with like a 98 in the class.

This class is so easy! You can't really keep up with her in class but if you go to the study groups the class is a breeze! If only she taught 2020 too!!!

Great Teacher, always did what she could to help, and went out of her way to help someone when they needed it. Take this history class with her!

Honestly, I didn't like her at all. She gives assigned seats. She talks in the same mono-toned voice the whole time she teaches (which puts me to sleep). We can't talk at all or she will call you out (even if it's a whisper). You can't leave early or she will get upset. I was too scared to use the restroom because I didn't want her to get upset.

Attendance is mandatory. Go to class. She tells you what to expect on the quizzes. She has study sessions that help with the tests. Complete the study guide along with classes. Do the readings early and let her review them for you. Turn the in early. It's an easy class if you do what she says.

I had her for my first History class and absolutely loved it! I wish she taught 2020. The comments about how she and her GA are rude and hateful are NOT true. She has 3 writing assignments you can do and turn in early. If you turn them in a week early, you can make corrections after she grades them then turn it in again. Take her for HIST-2010!

I liked her as a teacher she took a little getting used to but I love her wish I could take her for 2020. The out of class work is easy and the test can be a little hard depending on how you study.

It is a lecture course so it can be quite dull. However as long as you take good notes it is an easy A. She gives you study guides that cover every question on the test IN ORDER. Also she will check you study guide to make sure that you have the answer to the question that will be on the test in your study guide. I would defiantly recommend her!

I loved her. She is strict about classroom behavior, but the class was fairly easy. She gives you a study guide for every exam, offers study sessions, gives hints for quizzes, and gives all the answers to the test in her lecture. Her tests are easy as long as you study. Only 3 easy writing assignments. Very relaxed attendance policy. I'd recommend.

Mrs. Smith is a great teacher. She gives you a study guide and class outline that is very useful for the tests. She will even tell you when something will be on the test. She is a great teacher to take.

This is not a easy grade but Mrs. Smith and her graduate assistant are very helpful. Mrs. Smith gives her personal phone even though she has a large amount of students. Everything is fair. There is a study guide for the test and study sessions. Study sessions are extremely helpful.

Ms. Smith is fair. She lays out what is expected from day one. The study guides are helpful but I found that reading the text book helped when it come to the exams. Communication through email was great, especially with her G.A. Ms. Harrell. You have to study, but overall pretty easy class.

I love this instructor. She is very thorough and knows her stuff. She tells excellent stories about the quirks and personalities of each president. She provides students with a study guide, and goes over much of what will be on the tests and quizzes in class (in order). You'll do well if you study and she is always happy to help.

Mrs. Smith is an excellent instructor. She knows her history, and loves to talk about it. She provides a study guide, and goes over much of what will be on the tests and quizzes in class. If you study, you will do well in her class.

Mrs. Smith really is a great woman. She is passionate about history, and will help students anyway she can. She gives a study guide before she starts a section, all tests are multiple choice, and she will check your study guide. You get points for attendance and easy written assignments. You can fail the tests and still make a good grade.

A wonderful teacher!! As long as you pay attention to her lectures and take notes that correspond to the study guide, you will do good. She does not like to interrupted by phones or talking, do you blame her? It is rude to be talking during a lecture or playing/texting on your phone. GREAT TEACHER!!

Class was always interesting and I learned a lot in there. Nice lady, easy to contact, study sessions available, and study guides are exactly what will be on the tests. Hates cell phones, but how can you learn with one in front of you 24/7? Her GA Maegan is really nice and subbed us sometimes. A lecture outline is given too. Would take again! :)

Tests are super easy and if you are at all interested in history, you will pass easily. Lectures are a bit boring but if you just show up, get your attendance points, and do an easy writing assignment once a month you'll pass easily. No sleeping or cell phones during lecture, and you'll be just fine with her. go visit her in her office.

Class and test wasn't super hard. Go to class, pay attention, get a decent grade. It may also be worth mentioning I am a history major so...

Attendance is definitely mandatory! The lectures are long but the information is rather interesting. She gives a lot of opportunity for those who don't understand. You should definitely take advantage of the study sessions and visiting her at office hours. All in all this is a pretty good course and she's an alright teacher!

The lectures were very boring. If you need help, go see her. She gave me extra credit for talking to her about an assignment.

Just show up and study for her tests. I recommend the study sessions because you get every single answer for all of her tests. She even tells you what is going to be on her quizzes days before. Her lectures are boring, but overall it's a fine class adn an easy A if you try

She provides you a lecture outline as well as study guides for every exam. Written assignments are also not overly difficult. Attendance is crucial and do not have your phone out. Her lectures vary from being kind of boring at times to great stories. I found that she is a great teacher, I learned a lot from her. I would gladly take her class again.

It is not the easiest class, but I would take her again.

Dr. Smith is a professor that you will get some education from regarding history. She is most helpful if you are making an effort and if you take the class seriously. She had an amazing graduate assistant that was most helpful. She has study sessions for the 2nd and 3rd tests for the class. DO NOT MISS THEM! I would take her for another class!

She is a fantastic teacher. I was told she was terrible by many people. They were wrong. Easy class, great lectures. If you want to learn, take her. Wish she taught history 2020. I used the textbook a total of ten minutes all semester. Writing assignments were a piece of cake. If you are lazy you will not pass

Be ready to take a bunch of notes! Smith was very interesting and I enjoyed her class, but there weren't many supplements to help pass the course. Just listen to her lectures and follow the study guide, and you should be okay.

Really great teacher. You have to be ready for lectures though. Note taking is essential. If you miss a class, you'd better read the book to catch up. Gives opportunity to improve your grade. If you are lazy, I would not suggest this professor.

Her lectures are often long and boring- she often puts on short videos to take notes on. There's not a lot of buffer grades, so if you slack on anything, it's a big hit to your grade. She follows a lecture outline and always gives us study guides before starting the chapter. Sweet lady- likes you better if you sit in the front row.

I wasn't looking forward to taking this history class, as I am a foreign student and had heard very little of US history beforehand. However, Ms. Smith made me understand the material far better than I expected, and I was able to get an A. If you do the work, you'll do well. You'll find that she's very eager to help you if you just ask.

Mrs. Smith was a great professor. She always seemed very sincere and eager to help. This class was lecture heavy, but I didn't mind it. As long as you take good notes, you never have to read the book (although I would suggest doing just that).

This was a large lecture class and her lectures were very boring, but she gives you a study guide before you start a new section you know exactly what you need to listen for. Her tests are multiple choice and they aren't hard, but you need to study your notes so make sure you take good ones!

She lets you know exactly what you need to study for each test and quiz. Her lectures are a bit boring, but she lets you out early. All in All, it could be a lot worse.

She lets you review every test and quiz taken. Offers extra study twice a week, no extra credit allowed. Assigned seats for attendance as the class is large. Great lectures, always kept me engaged and interested. Wish Smith taught other classes as she is one of my favorite teachers ever!

I absolutely loved this class, she is a very clear lecturer and goes off of a lecture outline she puts on D2L. She also gives out the study guides to her exam at the beginning of each unit to follow along with and at the end of each unit tells you essentially what each question will ask in order. Her class really made me love history again.

Ms Smith is a wonderful, caring professor that is more than willing to help you get a good grade in her class, you must show up, read the assigned work, take good notes and go see her if you have any questions. I recommend sitting up front and to the right in the class room, if the microphone goes out, you can still hear her loud and clear.

I thought Ms. Smith was a great lecturer! I have read several reviews saying she was boring it's history. She was so hilarious! She gave VERY EASY assignments, not to say you didn't have to pay attention but easy. Test were a little tough sometimes but mainly if you don't study like you should and some I admit I didn't. I would take her again.

She cared very much that students passed. Always made sure to remind students of upcoming assignments. Supplied a study guide that made it easier to take notes only on the information you needed for the exams. The study guide made it so much easier to study. Also the day before exams she told basically what each question will be so you can prepare.
