worst teacher
Very inteligent, nice and very helpfull teacher. If you need a help with anything, he would help you
HE IS OKAY. BUT HIS TEST ARE HARD.
Dr. Smith is awesome! The tests are hard, but he is a very nice and helpful guy. If you have questions, he will be there for you! He is great and knows his responsibilities!!!
Easy teacher. Dr.Smith will work with you. Tests are easy as long as you pay half attention during the class.
he is so nice and a great guy and great to be in his class this is my second time taking him i pass both classes and i learned alot from him
This Dr. Smith so so cool and awesome he is so very, very funny and he keeps u interested in his class he teaches by making u laugh and by showing YouTube videos the quizzes and tests r online and they r really hard but if u study all the quizzes and test at the end of the semester when it's time to take the final then u will have no problem!
Dr.Smith is really interested with his students and teaches by telling stories, and displaying YouTube videos. Material will be learned, but online tests are a bit challenging.PRINT THE TESTS OUT SO YOU CAN STUDY THEM FOR THE FINAL! And Don't waste money buying a text book either. Wish he taught more psych classes.
Excellent teacher, very helpful.
loved him!! took him for psy 204 and i missed alot of classes but pulled a b+. he is a great professor
Accessible and concerned about his students.
AWESOME, JUST AWESOME!! WILL RECOMMEND TO FUTURE STUDENTS.
wonderful professor and i will be taking psychology 204 with this professor as well!
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!
Smith basically makes the class watch youtube videos every class. He doesnt teach anything on the tests (there are 20+ 20 quizzes) and his final has nothing to do with anything you learn. He is a poor professor who is more concerned with being popular than teaching. He is a nice guy but avoid him if you care to learn anything or do well in class.
Dr Smith was a good professor for Child Psych. Made class expectations clear from the first day. Enjoyed the virtual child assignment. Grading is fair. He also responded quickly when emailing him.
He is the best teacher ever. I enjoyed the virtual child and the class is super easy. He is very fair in grading and is very helpful and interactive with his student. I highly recommend him.
Do not take his online course. Unless you get an A on every exam and assignment, you will not get an A for the course. Even if you get ONE 88, you will still not get an A because nothing is cumulative!! You will work your butt off all semester without getting the grade you deserve!! Paying a fee to access the exams and course was a sham too!
If you do the ready and assignments, there is no reason you can't get an A in this class - the ratings that are negative on here aren't accurate, if you don't do the work, don't expect an A - and that's true of ANY professor! There is a quiz on every chapter and a final plus a virtual child. Lot of work for Winter, but manageable. I got an A+!
Due date was at the end of the semester for all assigned materials great class fun gives feedback if asked class not difficult at all jus do the assignments and show up for class exam a breez
He's a very funny professor. Never a dull moment. He let's you know how to receive extra credit in the first class. He doesn't ask for a lot. Very informative but not boring
Very good professor, direct and to the point. Responds pretty fast to emails and texts.
Amazing, gives a lot of tests but is a good teacher, never studied a day in that class, probably would have gotten an A instead of an 86. Would recommend
online course for winter and I will say take at your own risk regarding an A because if you even get one B you're not going to get that A it was a LOAD of work 16 quizzes, 2 papers, and a 100 question final exam but hey it's a 2 week course that's much expected but he was great on giving feedback and answering questions I def would take again
Easily my favorite professor in this school. Took him twice and never had a boring class. Very motivational and definitely cares about his students.
Amazing professor! 17 quizzes (2 chances to take each), one paper, and one final. Quizzes are word for word from text. Although this was a winter course, it was the easiest and most entertaining course I've taken thus far. Anyone complaining about this professor was probably very lazy. *have to pay for access to quizzes - includes book * Recommend!
Best professor I have ever had! You can access him through canvas, email, and text! Responds quickly! Gives great feedback! If you don't do the work - you won't do good (as any class is). Quizzes are in order from the book(very easy if you open the book) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Very fun professor
HES GREAT! strongly recommend him !
He is the best I had him in pay 101 and 204. He is so funny and give examples based on his own experience.
Dr. Smith really makes the lecture time go by so fast. He is extremely hilarious. He gives you two chances to take exams. Honestly you have to do nothing in that class to fail. He listens to students and really wants students to pass. I can't wait to take him for Psychology 204.
Very clear in syllabus. Gives good feedback. Answers emails. Good amount of work but worth it at the end. Great class.
Amazing professor! he is very fair in grading. he gives good feedback , he listens to students and really wants students to pass. He is great ! strongly recommend him!
My favorite professor. Very energetic, fun, and fair. Always gives positive feedback and is a very reliable person. Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Easy to understand. Interesting and fun class. He listens and cares about his students along with their grades. I definitely recommend taking his class.
Amazing professor, classes are always fun.
The definition of a chill teacher and class. To get an A you do need to keep up with the slides and textbook, do all the online tests, online discussions, and optional online labs. He is an extremely fair grader. He is very funny and the classes go by really fast. He gets students involved and makes the class more upbeat. 10/10 would recommend.
my favorite professor. he is very energetic and kind. he is very understanding and really cares about his students passing.
Dr. Smith's class was fair and straight to the point. He instructed what needed to be read and gave due dates for each set of quizzes and the essay paper. I would def recommend him to any student who wants to earn an A! key word: EARN. It will not be given to you!
Best psychology professor I had, very understanding & caring. wish I could take him again!
I went back to college after 10 years out of school. I took two classes at first while working part time. Prof Smith was a funny guy but he didn't teach much. He made a lot of jokes and showed youtube videos. You had to teach yourself. I am an A and B student and I got a C in his class.
The professor was ok, he is a great guy, and you can be exempt from the final by getting a 90% overall, I hated the fact that he is not organized online, you have to go into canvas for his assignments and it was very confusing since the dates are not accurate. At the end I felt that I did most of the work without his help, by reading the book.
I wish all my professors could be like Dr. Wallace. He made the course simple and easy to navigate. He made himself available if and when you needed questions answered. Def an awesome person!
Dr Smith is beyond amazing. I had him for psych 101 and took his online child psych class for the summer. His online class work is as expected, just easy discussions and online quizzes. Reading the textbook and the slideshows is going to help you so much. The only thing that lowered my grade was not being serious enough on the final test so study!!
Dr. Wallace Smith is an AMAZING professor. This was my first time taking an online course. He made my experience very positive. Dr. Smith makes himself available if you need to schedule an appointment. Make sure you read the powerpoint as well as the textbook, participate in discussions and complete your assignments by the due date. - Nicole E.
The class is easy if you follow the textbook and powerpoint slides. The only thing I didn't like were the online weekly quizzes. Even if you choose the right answers, it will often mark them wrong. It was really annoying because I had to correct him on it almost every week. He also is really bad at answering emails. He's a really nice guy though.
The time spent in class is used on watching irrelevant YouTube videos, said in class "I should not have to teach us the material, that is what textbooks are for". More interested in making the class laugh than actually helping them understand the material, and then loading on multiple chapters per week
Nice guy, but if you are a student who truly cares about education, trust me and look elsewhere. High rating is simply due to easy A's. Class is torture. Irrelevant YouTube videos, constant false facts presented by the professor that misguides students. I felt cheated out of my money and my time.
One of the best professors I've ever had. He makes learning fun and because he is so entertaining it makes it easier to pay attention to actually learn.
If you are a good student and miss a quiz you just have to talk to him and hell give you extra time. Quizzes are not hard but you do learn. Very interesting class. Interacts with the class.
I definitely would take him again if I had psychology. He is very entertaining. I 100% recommend him if you want to learn in fun way. He is pretty awesome guys trust me
Class is very entertaining,informativa ,keeps tou interested.
Dr. Smith is awesome. Happy I took this class. He makes class fun.... If I could take him for all of my classes I definitely WOULD.
Great teacher. No complaints
This professor is absolutely great! Happy i took his class ! great personality, teaching ethics, and all around awesome in general! If i had to take him for every class i would ! Recommended beyond belief!! If you get the chance to take him , DO IT !
Very easy class. He has a chapter quiz due once a week but it is easy. I did them all the same week so I dont have to do anything during the semester. There are two book reports on his short book that is only on amazon. And then an easy interview. His class if very easy and interesting. I would take again. If you want an easy A take his class
From the first day of being there he was already making me laugh! His lectures are very very interesting that it will literally make you get off your phone and just listen to every detail to what he is talking about! He truly cares for his students and always reassures that his office always has open doors for everyone! Quizzes are easy too!
I am taking online class, an I definitely recommend this amazing professor. He is really caring, and you wont be bored. Dr. Smith is your right choice if you want to get a A�� Do all the assignments and youll be fine.
I have Dr. Smith for an online course and with the discussions we need to do, he makes it interesting since we never meet up.
Dr Wallace was an amazing professor. He provided the material clearly and made me interested in the course. If you miss class, the material is available online which makes it easy to catch up with missed assignments. You can tell he is truly passionate about his job and cares about his students! I highly recommend taking him.
Dr. Smith is the most amazing professor at UCC. He is extremely caring and truly takes the time to know his students personally. His class is extremely inspirational and he knows how to engage the class. I would highly recommend him and if I could I would take him a million more times!! He feels like family!
Wish I had to take his other psych classes, loved the class and his personality!!
Dr. Smith is a really good professor who instructs with a lot of passion and patience. He never lets his students down, hell support you in any and every aspect that you need his support. Awesome ��
Ive taken Dr. Smith for both PSY-101 and PSY-204, and he is certainly a great professor to have. For every textbook chapter, you will be given an 11-17 question quiz to answer and complete, with approximately two shorts papers and a project for the semester (depending on the course). Just keep up with your assignments, and youll be set.
best teacher ever! lectures were never a pain to go to, very fun and there was no problems with questions. he loves to answer and talk, and help with anything. if you need extra time for papers, he extends it and understands many things. would recommended him for anyone wanting to take a elective or science class
When it comes to Dr. Wallace Smith, I only have two words, TAKE HIM. His class is very interesting and I have learned a lot from his class. He uses power points, shows videos, and tells real life stories that is related to the chapters of his classes. His weekly online quizzes are very easy.
He is an amazing teacher, very laid back, gives multiple chances to help students get passing grades. His lectures were interesting and engaging. His tests were not hard, and he was willing to help out when needed.
He's really fun and easy to talk to! His lectures go by QUICK and he makes everything easy to understand. There's at least one online quiz every week, a few easy papers through the semester. Enjoyable class!
amazing psych professor ! highly recommend taking this class. I learned so much during his lectures.
Dr. Smith is the type of professor that enjoys teaching and naturally explains all topics perfectly by giving real-life examples, showing videos, and sometimes referring to jokes. The class environment is one that you will enjoy and will never want to miss it! The homework is easy is just take-home quizzes, and with an A grade average no final!
Dr. Smith is very fair. Dr. Smith provides all the necessary directions for the class. follow them closely and you will succeed. Show an effort and Dr. Smith will meet you half way.
Awesome Professor! I would recommend him to any students who needs PSY classes! He's really awesome!
Dr. Wallace Smith is one of the best professors at Union County College. He Explains the materials very well, and he helps students to understand the lectures by providing good feedback. If someone is willing to learn, Dr. Smith will help that person to learn. The thing I like about Dr. Smith if a student makes a mistake, he explains very clearly.
Very easy class great professor! Just dont miss deadlines you will fail
BEST PSY PROFESSOR EVER! He is very clear off the bat and the work is very easy if you just read. Best online class I took. Doesn't take long to reply at all!
One of my favorite teachers I have ever had! He makes his class fun, you are laughing the whole time which makes you pay attention and want to be part of the conversation. If you show effort he will notice As long as you do the online quizzes and get the ONE paper and ONE project in on time, you will definitely get an A. He is the BEST!!
Easy assignments, just follow instructions. Funny feedback. Want you to do well, makes it as easy as easy gets just have to do the work.
Class is not hard at all to pass! Just do the quizzes and the papers he asks for and he will pass you. If you need help, just ask, he helps with no doubt and is the best professor I had. Would totally take him again ;)
Dr. Smith is a great professor, and his online course was uncomplicated. He explained how to do each assignment. Also, the discussions are exciting.
Dr. Smith is extremely caring and wants to see all of his students succeed. He gives very engaging lectures and is super funny.
Took this class online during the winter together with a few other classes. 4 (weekly) discussions, about 14-15 chapter quizzes (open-book) and a final exam (which you don't have to take if you get an A for the course).
Dr. Smith is really a great professor. Cracks jokes, cares about his students, and he makes things out in the open. If you try and give a legitimate effort to the course you will enjoy it. Quizzes each week, but they are nothing crazy, and there was a paper and small projects, but i never felt overwhelmed.
Great Professor even better person!
He's a wonderful person. His lectures are on point and he makes them interesting. I loved the YouTube tube videos
I really enjoyed class. Professor. Smith provides a great online course.
This class requires a lot of involvement, but the discussions are always interesting and the professor is engaging and approachable. Overall I definitely recommend this class.
He is an amazing professor, his classes are very enjoyable that I couldn't feel that I was in classes. He takes attendance, and participation is important but is fun. I learn a lot in his class without pressure or without feeling that I was in class at all.
Best Professor I've had so far. Only a few serious assignments and quizzes that you do on your own, his class is an easy A
Dr. Smith is a great professor. You will definitely enjoy this class, and you'll laugh a lot too. He shares stories and interacts with the class most of the time. One thing I should say is, he does not really remember names or reply to emails often. But, overall it was a fun class and he is great.
Great teacher
Amazing teacher! I recommend taking his class
he's awesome
Great professor
Dr. Smith is a great professor and is very clear in his lectures, and is very straight forward when it comes to getting work done. His class is light hearted, to the point and engaging. An easy A if you do the work.
Overall Dr . Smith was a great professor . He set the bar really high for the next professors I will have in the coming years . I hope they are just as great as he was .
Professor Smith is a very amazing professor. He always keeps the class engaged and even makes some very funny jokes to take the pressure off. Some classes he lets us decompress and tells us stories of his own life or even ways he makes money. I would definitely recommend and would definitely take his class again.
Funny professor who jokes around but still gets straight to the point when discussing class subjects. Puts faith into students and rewards those who get their work done.
Doctor Smith is a great person and a great professor. He respects all of his students and gets respect back. His lectures are always informative and easy to understand. He clearly loves his job and because of that he is an amazing professor.
Dr. Smith is a very good professor. He is a very straight forward teacher so just do the assignments and you will be fine! There are a couple big grades but you have enough time to get them done. He is a funny and sarcastic teacher and always has a story to tell. I would take him again and would recommend him to any student.
I took professor Smith my first semester at UCC. I loved his psychology class. His class was so interesting and he was hilarious. He gives a weekly quiz but they are easy and open book. He explains everything from the jump and sticks to it. I loved his class and I will be taking him again for Psychology 204.
I took Professor Smith for Psychology 205 Great class overall, Nice Professor would take him again. Gives extra credit for assignments. If you do the work you will receive a good grade. Only thing I didn't like was he didn't answer emails, communication is key and very important at times when you have questions and need answers.
Listen! When I tell you Dr. Smith is an amazing professor, I mean he is AMAZINGGGGGGGG!! class is very very easy. It's impossible to fail his class and if you do, it's your fault.
GREAT PROFESSOR!! Hews very understanding and grades easily; Assignments are not hard you just need to respond to discussion and Pearson Chapter quizzes. Easy A if you just complete the few assignments
Best Professor, made sure you understood the material. Never rushed through the book and always made sure to give examples so we could understand in depth.
He is super fair and easy. He makes sure you learn the material. Assignments are not hard you just need to respond to discussions and do the Pearson Chapter quizzes. One term paper and Video Interview due. Use Quizlet as a reference for the quizzes there study guides are perfect. If you do the work you will pass with an A. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Great professor. I took him online and we lecture but he includes the class which was good. Great conversations and he is always looking to help students.
Dr.Wallace is such a caring professor, he truly wants everyone to get a good grade while learning the material. Text book was online and free as well. I HIGHLY recommend taking his class !!
This professor is overrated. Yes, he is friendly and his classes are easy, so if you want an easy A go for it. He makes you write a LONG paper of 7 pages about HIS BOOK, lol. You have to buy his book to do the assignment, which was very lame to me. overall, easy, meh.
Online course. The class was fun but the experiments were a little hard to follow. The professor gave great, honest feedback. Would definitely take their class again.
Awesome professor 10/10 recommend. He's really funny has such a great sense of humor! The chapter tests were online, there's a research paper, a few experiments you do, he also gives lots of extra credit. You don't have to take the final if you have an A. He's truly inspiring and makes psych all the more fascinating, he also tells personal stories.
Very easy class to take online. The easiest A. He gives chapter quizzes every week and they're not hard at all. Did 2 easy short video project and a research paper about his book. Also a few kind of long discussion posts. Gives you extra credit opportunities at the end of the semester. You can also be exempted from the final if you maintain a A.
Professor Smith was a great teacher!!!! I enjoyed his lifespan class very much. Quizzes were average not too hard. I like how we had to do an interview with three people from different ages for one of the assignments. It was really fun. If you fail this class, it is because you aren't even trying. If I can take a class with him again, I would.
Dr. Smith is an amazing Professor who understands the life of a student. He has two projects/experiments that are fun, and interactive, as well as one Research Essay at the end of the class. You don't have to purchase any expensive books, but you do have to buy a book he wrote, to use it for your research essay.
One of the best professors yet. You don't have to take the final if you have an A. He makes psychology very interesting and there's no reason to fail because his assignments are doable. There was a paper and lots of quizzes and assignments. The quizzes were essentially open book. It's an easy A.
Dr. Smith is great! This class was such a breeze. As long as you do the material and maintain an A, you're exempt from the final. Very fair grader. P.S. Quizlet is your best friend!
Dr. Smith is great professor, would definitely take him in the future. His work load is not heavy and the assignments are fairly easy if you do your assignments you are sure to pass and bonus if you maintain an A throughout the class you can skip the final exam. So happy I took him.
I took an online class for this course. The professor requires students to buy a textbook he authored and requires the students to pay him via his personal paypal account.
Dr.Smith is a great professor. The assignments are simple and easy to understand. As long as you maintain an A, you will be exempted from the final. Yes you have to purchase his book but it is only $15 and it is an interesting read. I would definitely recommend Dr.Smith and I would take him again.
One of my favorite professors is Dr. W. Smith. His brief syllabus makes him stand out, explaining the work well and helping students keep focused and on track with course goals. He gives fantastic comments and plans classes well, making learning valuable for academic growth.
This Professor is AMAZING. Don't think twice about selecting his class. He is very understandable, funny, and CONSIDERATE. He doesn't give crazy amount of homework or assignments at all. There are only 2 major projects due which are very simple and he'll explain it all, 4 discussions, and quizzes from Cengage and that's it Very easy to pass!
Geat Professor, he cares about your success. I recommend him to everyone who needs to take this course
Dr.Smith is AMAZING.
I highly recommend Dr. Smith! He provides great and encouraging feedback. You will not be disappointed if you choose to take his course. It's impossible to fail this class unless you are not completing the expected assignments or following his clear directions. Don't think twice, this professor is highly recommended by others as well!
Dr Smith is an amazing lecturer , I took his class for the winter section and it was amazing his syllabus was so powerful i was Glad i made this choice-Oluchi H
Professor Smith is great. I took him for summer session and all material was easy to manage. He provides the syllabus on first day with clear instructions on how to succeed in his class. There's weekly discussions, an interview project and then a term paper. There's also quizzes but you get 2 chances. If you maintain an A you're exempt from final.
Dr. Smith's PSY204 class is a gem. Interesting lectures, fair workload, and easy-to-pass assessments. Using Unstuck study and the course textbook made study prep a breeze. Highly recommend taking this course!
I definitely recommend this professor! Super easy going
Dr. Smith was an incredible teacher he is the main reason as to why I switched my major. He also loves telling stories you will have a fun time. The work is not hard you just have to pay attention. Would take again!
I would like to let the student's of my class, also the incoming class to know about Dr. Wallace Smith is that he can be a nice person at times but he's very strict about his students handing in his assignments on time and completing their work. Such as completing homework, and classwork that's all a percentage of your grade test, quiz also.
Professor Smith is a great professor and gives a lot of insight. He is very caring and will make you laugh too! Lectures are not boring at all and something to look forward to. Please make sure to attend class. The coursework is easy enough for anyone willing to put in a small amount of effort each day.
One of the kindest professors I've had. He genuinely cares about his students and makes class feel welcoming and low-stress. He explains the material clearly and is always willing to help if you don't understand something. You can tell he loves teaching and wants you to succeed.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! he deeply cares about his students, there was 1 course paper 7 pages, weekly online exams, and 2 projects that you had to record, but very very easy. His extra credit is 2 talk to him. He engages with his students. If you need an extension, he will let you. There's no hw for his class, and at the end he throws a class party.
Dr. Smith was an amazing professor who made lectures fun and enjoyable. Really good attitude throughout the whole semester as well. Easy work and was always there to help out if needed.
A very caring professor is always willing to help you anytime, anywhere. take his class
Throughout the semester of having Professor Smith was great, work was fairly easy, a lot of extra credit given for any mistakes.
I've taken Dr. smith for my two years at UCC for my freshman and sophmore year, I have never loved a professor more. He is understanding, funny, and wise with his knowledge. I've definitely learned a lot especially as a psych major !
