This is probably one of the worst professors I've ever had at UVa. Completely disorganized, hasn't even graded our first test even though we took our second last week (and it's dangerously close to November), extremely boring, makes me never want to go to class. Tests are too difficult, mostly a mixture of whether or not you can memorize terms and critically think your way through theoretical situations. If you're able to avoid this class until Smith teaches it, I would strongly recomment that. If you have to take this guy......I'm sorry.
