Howard Smead HIST289V Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/23/2023	Dr. Smead is an excellent professor! He really knows what he's talking about and the subjects of his lessons are really fascinating and engaging. Everything in lectures is tied into your exams, which are essay-style. Attendance is mandatory for discussions, and if you miss lecture you can catch up here, usually; discussions are also sometimes tied into the exams.
Howard Smead HIST289V Expecting an A umd21 12/13/2016	I had to create an account just to review this man. Hands down, no question about it, the BEST professor at this school. I am currently taking him for HIST289V after I had him for 201. He is even better this semester than he was the last, partially because his TAs were terrible last semester. However, he is always happy, cracking jokes, talking about interesting current events, etc. I have only missed his class once all semester, and I wish I didn't even miss that class. He is a ray of sunshine. You should really take one of his classes at some point during your college career even if you don't have to
Howard Smead HIST289V Expecting an A histerp 03/27/2016	Smead is alright. Pretty funny, but he knows nothing about technology and usually spends the first few minutes of class figuring out everything again. The class topic itself "What Does it Mean to be an American?" is weird. It's basically an overview of U.S. history with some highlights on what people thought of the general populous and how that's changed. I find it pretty easy and sometimes enjoyable. Some of the TAs seem kinda uptight and snobby, but others are pretty nice.
