She is one hot teacher! I wanted to come to class just to see her! Tests were too hard!

She is an awesome professor who is down to earth and really fun! Her tests aren't that bad, except the take home ones. Assignments can be turned in late and you can still receive full credit.

I definetly recommend taking this class for Mrs. Smith. She is will to work with students to get late papers in, and her lectures are fun and easy to understand

Great teacher. Good stories to relate material to everyday life. Easy to pass class, good amount of extra credit.

Makes class very interesting. Stories relate to the topic very well and put everything into perspective.

good teacher, tries very hard to teach everyone. fun class

Awesome teacher! Lots of jokes and stories that help with the lecture. If you needed help she was more than willing. Tests were kind of hard sometimes but she had other homework that was pretty easy to help keep your grade up. One of my favorite classes!

Interesting teacher... she gives extra credit and just study the words on the study guide and your good to go

VERY easy class. LOTS of extra credit offered. Easiest A ever achieved in my life. Take her!!!!

Extremely easy class. Her tests are very easy.

Nice lady. Very fun class. She bumped my grade up to an A at the end even though I had a 88.6% -- Very nice of her.

The nicest teacher I've had in college so far. Its also the easiest class I've had, gives lots of EC and tests are pretty easy.

easy tests and fun classes

She makes it easy and is very laid back. She tells it like it is and isn't a from-the-text kind of teacher. she explains herself well and makes you want to learn and want to do well.

EASY A. She gives TONS of extra credit, and her lectures arn't bad. Tests are also easy, and she is very lenient. Very nice person.,

Took a class from her at Concordia... pretty sure I died a little more each day I attended. Most boring class ever. Super easy... as long as you don't mind being bored out of your mind every class period.

this is a good entry level class, all the notes are online, and completely filled out. i thought it was pretty easy

Had no interest whatsoever in sociology. Very interesting and fun class. Mrs. Smith was very fun and easy to get along with.

She is the best. :)

Dr. Smith is a very good professor, she explains things well and keeps the class very interesting. Her tests aren't too bad as long as you study for them, because you will only have a midterm and final. She is laid back and doesn't base her lectures solely on the book, plus, she gives extra credit :) Leretta is a very good professor!

Very interesting teacher, the tests aren't easy, but she gives plenty of extra credit. Take her!!!

She keeps your attention through class. I just went to class everyday and took notes. I never did any of the readings because her tests are all from the notes she hands out in class. I got a B without trying very hard. She will give you more points if you talk to her in her office.

This was an easy class. Class was mandatory since the notes were not available online. I was not interested in it at all at first, but she made it interesting. If you study for the tests, it shouldn't be hard to do well. Plus she offers extra credit.

Hilarious teacher with great stories. There's not a whole lot of interest one can get out of the subject of sociology but I think she does it really well. Very little homework and mediocre exams. Take good notes!

One of my favorite professors by far. Also the reason why I am a sociology major. She kept her class interesting and fun while still teaching you a lot. Tests were mainly off of her notes, but read the book to make sure you cover everything. Go to class so you get the notes. If you do those things, it's an easy A in an interesting class.

Mrs. Smith is very helpful and always kind. I would highly recommend her to anyone taking this class.

Professor Smith is interesting, lively, and very kind. Be sure to read the book, even though tests are mostly notes material. Take advantage of extra credit.

She is a great teacher! Very helpful, uses great examples, and has excellent stories. She makes going to class fun. Offers extra credit randomly, so going to class on a regular basic is a good idea. Exams are pretty easy, just study notes and read.

Great teacher. Knows her stuff and really is fun to listen to. Offers a good chunk of extra credit.

She's a really fun teacher. I did myself a huge dis-service by NOT going to class. Go to class, even if your in the huge lecture. From what I hear she hands out extra credit randomly to those who do. I do okay on the tests even though I don't go, but I would have benefited from going more often.

Fun class. If you show up every day you won't even have to open the textbook.

Incredibly nice. My favorite professor on campus. She is incredibly friendly and i recommend her to everyone.

Class was really easy. She was very helpful and responded to e-mails quickly. Would gladly take another class from her again.

One of the greatest professors I have ever met. She is one of the most kind-hearted people on campus, and has a genuine interest and passion in her teaching. Dr. Smith is always there for you, and loves getting to know her students. The classroom is a fun and entertaining environment. Attendance isn't expected, but you'd be dumb to not show up! :)

I absolutely love her as a teacher. It was my favorite class to go to. She usually always lets you out early. She likes to make jokes and likes to interact with the class and is never boring. She is willing to help you if you need it. Great class, great professor.

Dr. Smith is a great professor who truly cares about her students. She cracks jokes in class & never makes the class seem boring. The exams were a bit tricky if you didnt read the text. However, one of my favorite classes by far! We got points for showing up in my class, but with others she didnt. Easy A if you put in the time & effort.

She is an interesting teacher, but her voice is pretty annoying, she kinda sounds like she is using her "baby voice" 24/7. Other than that she is a great teacher and class time goes by pretty fast. Her tests aren't that bad if you read the text and go over your notes. If you aren't planning on reading your textbook before tests, don't buy it!

Love her as a teacher. The tests are a little difficult. She is more than willing to help you out though. If you go to class and pay attention, and study you will be fine!

This class is super boring, I studied my butt off for every exam and I only have gotten C's, her tests have rediculous questions. But she is very nice(:

This class is super boring, I studied my butt off for every exam and I only have gotten C's, her tests have rediculous questions. Don't even bother buying the text book, didn't even use it once! But she is very nice(:

I absolutely loved having Leretta Smith as a professor. She kept the class interesting and you can tell that she truly loves what she does. She also cares about her students, offering extra credit throughout the semester. Attendance was mandatory, but I enjoyed going to class and was engaged in her lecture the entire time.

By far the best professor on camps!!

I loved Leretta's class! She gives good examples of the material and truly cares about her students. Was very helpful to me when I missed an exam for a family emergency. Great professor!

Leretta is a great teacher. She does what she can every day to try and make the class exciting and fun. Always tends to crack jokes and tell stories, whether theya re true or not. Must have teacher at NDSU.

If you have to take Sociology, take it with her. No assignments, just tests and many opportunities for extra credit. Super easy to listen to and gives good examples.

She's nice, funny, and tries to keep the class interesting. Showing up for class is 20% of the grade so if you like to skip class, don't take this one. Her tests are the easiest things ever and she provides a study guide that has all the answers as long as you take the 10 minutes to fill it out.

Best time of my life. She's kooky and makes a lot of jokes that help me learn stuff

Great Teacher and many opportunities for Extra Credit. Easy to get an A if you show up to class and study for exams. Overall, if you have to take sociology take it with Dr. Smith

I have know Leretta because she also teaches at M State. I don't think I would have stayed at NDSU if not for her. She will always be there when you need her.

I loved this class! Leretta Smith was funny, nice, and a very good teacher. She made sure we always knew what was going to be on the test, and was extremely fair. She gave a lot of extra credit opportunities. The class stays interesting and she lets you out early quite often. I would love to take this class again.

Great professor. Funny, interesting, and lets class out early a lot. Tests are easy as she tells you exactly what is going to be on them. Never even opened the textbook. Lots of extra credit opportunities too. If you show up to class (She takes attendance every day.) and put a little bit of effort into studying for tests, this class is an easy A.

Dr. Smith is quirky and her class is enjoyable. The tests are based mostly off of the notes and not the book. This course does have a portion taught by older students. That was the biggest thing I did not like only because the student teacher I had was very poor. It puts more responsibility on the student to learn the material.

One of the best teachers I have had. Genuinely cared about students and made the final specific to each person and their experiences. Made everything applicable to real life and interesting. Watched interesting films in class.

She is very helpful and will even give you answers to the test questions if you have a reason behind your thinking. She is wonderful.

BEST PROFESSOR AT NDSU. She honestly is there for you with anything. She really cares about her students and gives so much extra credits!!

Class is always interesting, and she is really funny and fun. She keeps things interesting and fun.

I took her intro class, & chose this online course as my 400 level requirement for my minor. She is just as I remember her, really cares about her students and wants you to do well. Exams were not too difficult, just don't go into it without knowing the material. Use the textbook, and do not be afraid to ask for help because she wants to help you

Smith is a fantastic professor who truly loves her students. I'm not a fan of Sociology, but it's required for my major. She made the class more than bearable, and it was an easy A. I studied 3 hrs the whole semester. Just show up and stay awake, you'll remember and enjoy it. Don't bother with book. Never needed it. Lots of ex. cr. opportunities.

Dr. Smith is really into what she teaches. She is excited about every day and wants to share that excitement with her students. She uses real world examples, often from her own life to explain concepts.

I absolutely loved taking Soc110 with Professor Smith. She is a very inspiring woman and I loved going to her lectures every week. She keeps the lectures around 40 min and is very entertaining. You have to go to class to get notes, but honestly the lectures were fantastic. I am very pleased by this course with Professor Smith.

This is a really fun, even paced online course. It's easy to keep up, and stay interested in the course. She is friendly and very excited to help students understand concepts. Very enjoyable online course.

Best teacher

Dr. Smith is awesome. She understands that Soc 110 is a class that most take as a general requirement, and she knows that we have other classes to focus on. She makes lectures fun and relatable! I highly recommend Dr. Smith!

She was very helpful in explaining what she meant, and there wasn't tons of homework. She did assign a rather large paper for each the midterm and final, and also a movie review. I loved her class and will be definitely be taking more from her.

I took Soc110 with Leretta and she is awesome! Show up for class, do most of the readings, and you'll get an A.

Dr. Smith bases her main focus all upon student understanding. She is very approachable, super entertaining, AND she will even answer one-on-one questions during exams. There is not much course work, and she relates the material to real-life scenarios to help you understand the basics of Sociology.

I loved taking Dr. Smith's class. She is very funny and relates topics to the real world and gives you tons of examples. There are a lot of notes, but she gives you plenty of time to write them down. There are also exercises that are due usually every other week, but they are pretty simple. The exams are easy because they are the study guides.

Very enjoyable teacher. Look over the study guide and you will do fine on tests. Gives a decent amount of extra credit.

She was very informative and made the information interesting and fun to learn.

Can honestly say she is one of the best teachers there, her classes seem to go by quickly and she isn't biased. Her lectures are well delivered and her exams are only hard if you didn't study the material or use the study guide she gives to us weeks before them. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Smith made Sociology very enjoyable. She's hilarious and really energetic. Usually a one page exercise was assigned once a week pertaining to the lectures the previous week. Very easy! Exams were all multiple choice and fairly easy if you looked over the study guide the day before. Take Dr. Smith for Sociology!

Dr. Smith brings humor and personal experience into her lectures which makes her easy to relate to as a college student taking her class. The out of class work is very easy if you are able to comprehend what is being asked, and the exams are very straightforward. Keep up with the readings and you will pass.

Leretta was my favorite professor. She gets that alot of students in her class aren't sociology majors so she doesn't go super in depth on a lot of stuff. She covers exactly what you need to know for tests in lecture and gives a study guide for each test. She gives a lot of easy ways to get extra credit.

Show up for the review sessions to go over the study guide. They're exactly like the test

Dr. Smith is the nicest professor on campus. The lectures are very relaxed and easy to understand. Very straight forward. Gives out a ton of extra credit opportunites. Basically, a pretty managable class if you do the study guides.

Loved my class with Leretta. She is so much fun and keeps students engaged. The homework is not too hard and can be completed quickly. Just make sure to review notes before exams and you can expect an A :D

Leretta is the most amazing teacher I've ever had! One of the only classes that attendance isn't mandatory and lectures are still almost always full. Just make a quizlet from the review she gives for the tests and study a bit the night before and you'll ace the test. Do not buy or rent the book, you will never use it!

Love her! Don't buy the book. She will gladly talk about anything you are having trouble understanding and her lectures are interesting. Show up for class and do the assignments on blackboard and you will get an A.

By far one of the best professors I've ever had.

One of the best Professors i have ever had. She is friendly and fun as well as an honest person who actully does care about you. My Girlfrind and i still talk to her when ever we see her.

One of my professors. always made class a blast, and made the content easy to understand and grasp

TAKE HER YOU WILLNOT REGRET IT.

Very caring and sweet person. She is very passionate of her work. There are only 3 exams and 14 homework assignments for the entire semester. NO FINAL. She makes her exams pretty easy and gives the answer to the hardest problem before she hands it out. Also gives out a ton of extra credit.

Best professor at NDSU

Leretta is super funny and is super easy. Her homework is busywork which can be annoying, but she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. She also will answer questions during tests.

Best teacher at NDSU

Just try to go to class as possible. She randomly gives extra credit if Lecture is looking empty! I was able to get 25 points of extra credit for the semester!

best professor

Dr. Smith is a great teacher and I would take her for all of my classes if I could. She is laid back and has a sense of humor. Her tests are easy if you go to the reviews. She also tells you the answer to the "hardest" question on each test. Overall, great professor!!

Super friendly professor. Very lenient and willing to work with students. Gives you everything thats going to be on the test the week of. If you go to review days and exam days, this is not a hard class to get an A in.

She is the sweetest teacher on campus! You will never fall asleep in her lecture! She is funny and keeps you involved during class.

The very best woman ever

BEST PROF EVER! Honestly easiest A I have ever gotten too, do the stuff and you are good.

Probably my favorite professor I've had! Super nice and fun to take.

This professor is super easy and shes super funny. Easiest class I've taken at NDSU.

Easiest class on planet earth. Dr. Smith is such an amazing woman. Fantastic professor, and a caring lady. She genuinely cares about her students. Take this course, you will not regret it.

Dr. Smith is the most kind and caring professor at NDSU. She will do anything she can to help you get an A. Despite personal challenges during the semester, she continued with a positive attitude and made sure all of her students were taken care of. Take a class from Dr. Smith, you won't regret it.

Amazing women. Great Professor. #1 in our hearts.

Dr. Smith is one of my favorite professors. Honestly you can pass Sociology without attending any class, other than test days, and pass with an A but her lectures are really fun and engaging. Her personality is what made me come to class.

Dr. Smith great teacher the class is easy 4 exams do them online and homework will work with a group to write a paper you can pass with A

Professor Smith is an energetic teacher, her lecturers are always interesting and I learn something new each class. She makes the basic information interesting by relating it to real life examples and scenarios. I did not like the itnquizitives she gave for homework but they were fairly easy points if you completed them.

Don't miss taking a class with Dr. Smith. She is one of the few professors where going and talking to her counts as much as your grades. The work she requires is really not that intense. You will get an A and will genuinely enjoy the class.

I took Loretta Freshman year in college and now I'm finishing up my Senior year. She has easily been my favorite professor throughout my college career. She's extremely caring and a great person. Take her classes if you can!

she's a lovely professor.

Very interesting lectures, take advantage of review days, easy tests, gives a lot of test answers before you take the exam

She gives you answers on the test during the test. She is super funny and going to class is super easy

Very understanding and wants you to succeed!

I love Professor Smith. She has very fun an engaging classes and makes the time fly by. The tests are super easy as long as you do the homework and pay a little bit of attention.

Really helps everyone understand what she is teaching. Involves the students even though its a huge lecture. She is such an interesting person and cares about everyone in her class. She gives lectures very well and there is not really any homework. Just go to class and you'll get an A. She is such an amazing teacher.

She was by far my favorite professor this semester. She cared very much about the students. Listen a little in class, do the homework and extra credit and there is no reason that you should not end with an A.

It was pretty easy to be honest. Most of the content was common sense. Just make sure to do your weekly homework and do the study guides.

Easy A. Very funny and as long as you show up and take notes you are guaranteed to pass.

Amazing lectures, she makes them entertaining. Attendance isn't mandatory but is a good idea to go for extra credit opportunities. She grades and responds to emails fast. Most HW is online through Inquizitive, easy to get a perfect grade on those, otherwise there are 4 tests. Everything question is in lectures and the study guide. Easy A, fun class

She is my academic advisor, could not say enough nice things about her. She is personal, funny, and understanding. Dr. Smith understands that you are a college age person and wants you to enjoy not only her class, but life. You won't do well on the homework if you do not attend class. You don't have to pay attention that hard in class to do well.

I love Mrs. Smith!! Her grading criteria is very to-the-point so you know whats expected throughout the semester. The homework might be challenging, but I found it easier than most classes Ive been in!

It was a little tough this semester with Dr. Smith being remote, as she lost some of her flair mentioned in other reviews, but she handled it well. She is good at lecturing and relating class material to real life but I had to pay little to no attention in her class to pass with an A+. Be sure to complete the study guides to do well on tests.

This class was extremely interesting and easy. You need to go to class everyday so that you are able to answer the discussion board questions, but other than that, the class itself and the content is quite easy and you should do fine as long as you fill out the study guide! She also offers plenty of extra credit if you need it.

She has been one of my favorite professors at NDSU so far. She's very clear about what she expects you to know. Definitely a class you want to go to lecture for, but they're enjoyable to sit through and make it easy to get an A on her exams. I can also tell she loves what she does and cares about her students, which is very refreshing.

easy class if you put any effort in. got a 103% in the class

Everybody loves Dr. Smith! Her intro to Sociology class is easy, but also really interesting and informative. Her lectures are great. She is also great at facilitating class discussions if you take any sociology courses with her beyond the intro class.

Decently easy class with a funny professor. Mostly lecture class with tests but there's short daily discussion questions and inquisitives for a buffer.

Dr. Smith is AMAZING! doesn't take attendance but sometimes will give extra credit if you show up but lots of other EC opportunities. Tests are once every month but are all multiple choice. Inquizitives are easy and can be found using resources...

She was absolutely amazing. Her lectures were not mandatory, but she would occasionally give extra credit for things if you were present. She has a great sense of humor and is down to earth and accommodating to every student. Highly recommend.

LOVED THIS CLASS! This was my 1st 400 level class, and I wasn't sure what to expect. But I'm so thankful I took it, not only is she a great person but she cares about you and wants you to do well. Don't get me wrong I had a ton of work, but I enjoyed it and I felt I could take away from this class. Please take Death and Dying! I would so retake it.

She was my favorite professor. She is funny and she is not by the books. 1000% would take again.

I absolutely adore Professor Smith and her class. Her class is so interesting and she does a good job of keeping you engaged in class. I would take her class a million times I loved it so much.

She was very funny and her lectures were easy to follow. Would take a class with her again, loved her

I love Professor Smith, she is so down to earth and so understanding! She gives out random extra credit which is very nice! Just make sure to do the discussions after class and show up to class for review day and you'll pass with an easy A (I always forgot to do the discussions)

Honestly, one of the best professors I had, super nice and caring. I took her class online, she made everything easy to understand. We did discussion posts each week, exams per usual, then texted book assignments through Inquisitive. Easier than some of 100 level classes I took.

Professor Smith's class was my favorite at NDSU so far! She wants her students to do well, gives interesting information, and makes class fun.

Dr Smith's lecture always contained light amount of humor to keep is engaging and interesting (we had designated laughers that she would cue in if the joke went over our heads). There are a couple extra credit opportunities throughout the semester that she offers, and always gives us reminders of up coming due dates.

Lectures are engaging. She loves to share stories and can be very humorous. Class is pretty easy but you need to go to the lectures in order to get the notes.

Very kind and knowledgeable professor who wants her students to succeed. Lectures are usually let out early, and review days are generally her just going over the entire study guide, so if you never want to show up, just make sure you go to the review days.

This class is very paper heavy. You'd have to read and write 3 pages per week and do discussions based on the readings as well. It's a mid-level commitment class and you won't feel like drowing. The topics you learn like grief, the death system, etc. really makes you reflect. Almost everyone loved how caring others were in class discussions.

Dr. Smith was an amazing professor, as she was able to connect the content to everyday life. She was relatable and pretty funny. The objectives of the class were clear and prepared us for exams to the best of her ability. 10/10 Dr. Smith

Going to class is important if you want the notes. All tests are online, and are not very difficult.

One of my favorite professors at NDSU. Her lectures are interesting, her assignments are easy, and she is always willing to help her students!

I decided to take this course because I loved this professor so much for Soc111. She was awesome during this class too. However, this course was a lot more work, it is all papers. There are 5 opinion papers, 4 exams that are papers, an article review, and a book review if I remember right. Very interesting course though!

I LOVE Leretta. I went through a hard time while taking this course and she gave me extensions on everything. She miss graded one of my papers and fixed it within minutes of me emailing her, she also gave me credit for a paper I wrote like ten sentences on when it should have been two pages. She is amazing and I always recommend taking her.

Leretta is a quality human and I liked attending her lectures for the time that I did until I realized that going to her class is unnecessary to get a good grade. The material that is taught in class is basically sociological terms for common knowledge. It is not hard and attendance is done through discussion boards that are easy.

I loved taking this course! There are discussion posts due every week, but as long as you stay on top of them you should be good to go. There are four papers that are pretty lengthy based on the material you are learning.

Dr. Smith is the best professor NDSU has. She truly is so understanding no matter the circumstance or time. The classes wasn't hard and she made it super fun.

My favorite professor ever!The professor graded all my homework and gave credit for almost all missing work. Very flexible with deadlines and canceled one of the four tests and essays. one of the easier classes you'll find. Lecture every class however class isn't required just make sure you go to the review days and you'll pass the class. 10/10.

The funniest, kindest professor on this campus. I looked forward to going to her lectures every week. The course content is easy. Attendance isn't mandatory but who would want to miss one of Leretta's lectures? I love this woman. Responsive to emails, and makes the content easy to understand, also sends lots of due date reminders.

Professor Smith is the greatest professor I have ever had at NDSU. Her lectures are extremely interesting and fun and allow for participation across the board. She is a very fair grader and cancels class for events such as homecoming. She is amazing at her job and makes Sociology interesting. She is very funny and keeps everyone interested.

Professor Smith's lectures are engaging and humorous, making the course enjoyable. While attendance is mandatory, tests are not too difficult if you keep up with the material. Unstuckstudy was a helpful study tool alongside the course textbook.

I LOVE her. So kind and respectful of her students and their time. Not to mention, she's so funny and engaging which helps a lot especially if you have a long day. I would definitely recommend taking her if you can!

This was my favorite professor this semester. She was so engaging with the class and made the class a very welcoming space. Her course was very easy, tests are quite common sense, and overall I would love to take her in the future just to feel the love she gave again!

You can tell she really cares about what she is teaching and understands the things she puts in her lectures. She is always excited to share stories that tie in to the lecture. She completely prepares you for every test and their are limited hours spent outside of class doing homework or studying for her tests.

It is very clear Smith enjoys her work. Great lecturer, self-aware. She will offer feedback and wants her students to succeed. Totally recommend taking the course.

She really cares about her students. I turned in an exam a month late because it didn't submit, and still got an A on it. She gives extensions and is always willing to give second chances. The class was interesting, and I enjoyed it. She does take a few points off every paper without explanation, but it isn't too bad if you follow the guidelines.

Professor Smith is the best. She is super caring and personable and willing to help you out if you ask for it. Lectures are engaging and funny. Beware the pop quiz, though.
