Western Kentucky University / S / Dennis Smith

One of the worst teachers I have ever had. He shows favoritism that comes off as borderline racism. If you have a problem with him there isn't really much you can do. It's his way or nothing at all. There are other words that I wish I could use to describe him but if you take him you will know what they are.

Mr Smith is an easy professor, but beware. He does not have a mandatory attendence policy, but if you don't go to class he well....... basically i didn't come the last 3 weeks of class because i had other classes taking priority. I had a B in the class at the time. Final grades come out and i have a 69.3 and he claims I made a 33 on the final, which he just so happen to dispose of the scantron before i could see!!! Well I am a little partial, but 5 students have protested his grades in his few years here, so be careful and keep track of your grades in his class if you take him.

This should be an easy, common sense kind of class...but Smith makes the exams hard. Each exam has 50 MC questions that are more like situations you must read and interpret. The choices for the answers are not clear cut, so it just confuses you even more. Sometimes the exams have essay questions. There is also a group project. Pretty much, if he likes you, you get a good grade, if he doesn't, you don't. I hated this class.

This class is pretty interesting but a lot of it is stuff we already know. Smith brings in lots of current events which helps you to related the stuff to real life. There are small 5 pt quizes at the beginning of some classes for extra credit on tests. If you aren't there on time the door is locked and no quiz for you. Smith is somewhat smart-allec and will make comments if you're talking in class or have your head down. If there is a problem, it is his way or the highway for sure. There is no talking to him about it. Not a bad guy, pretty nice really but the smart allec thing is really annoying.

He really gets excited about his teaching. It's great having a professor that is interested in what you are learning about. He uses powerpoints, but really emphasizes and explains the meanings of vocab words and other info.

This teacher will lie to you. He gave us plenty of bonus point opportunities and we done them all. After the class ended he gave us ZERO bonus points and it caused our grades to go down badly. He isn't that good of a teacher because he talks more about his family than the material and doesn't explain well. He worries more about the powerpoint clip art than the material. The tests are all that I marked and they are very hard.
