Comments:1350 - Dr.Smoak only has 2 grades in the gradebook.The midterm and the final.They are both 30% of your grade and the final is about everything.She tests on content she didnt teach, and all she does is test about readings, and random verses, and quotes. She is very educated, but is still not good with teaching.She doesnt know how to use canvas, and she doesnt understand that we arent Phd students who understand religion on that level  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1350 - Though Dr. Smoak isn't the worst lecturer, isn't unhelpful, or even a bad teacher, the coursework and expectation she has for her students shouldn't be present in a mainly Freshman/Sophomore course. Her tests are designed to be extremely hard based around a lot of analysis instead of pure fact-based knowledge. She introduces topics unseen by normal professors, mainly things surrounding Women and unrelated regions and their impact on Christian Theology. The extra 25% of content she provides bumps the course difficulty up a lot. She is a 1st year Professor and will get better as the years come but be prepared to work hard. Of course, if you love religion this would be a great class to take and Mrs. Smoak is glad to be the person to talk about it with. - Not a bad teacher to take if you're a hard worker or interested in religion. - Grade In Class:A  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:1350 - This woman is a character, to say the least. She has VERY BORING lectures (perfect if you like playing Snake) that are very hard to take notes for. She does about a quiz a class, and there is only the midterm and the 80-question final, and they are not too easy. A lot of work for a required class. Also no extra credit and she does not know how to work canvas to save her life, so your grade will probably be a little bit wrong. good luck, bro.   - Grade In Class:A
