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.

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+!

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.
