Howard Smead HONR238R Expecting an A Anonymous 05/14/2021	Difficulty: 2.5/5 Interest: 4/5 Professor Smead is a great lecturer, and he is very willing to speak his mind while never crossing lines into being preachy or imposing his will unduly on students. The assignments were reasonable and interesting; they consisted of: a presentation and corresponding term paper, two brief reflections, a journal of our thoughts on the course, and a dropped participation grade. The grading was pretty fair with good feedback in a reasonable amount of time. It being during COVID and him not being the best with technology plus the class being in person yet most students phoning in through Zoom definitely hurt the experience because of reduced participation, but that is not his fault by any means, and we still had good discussions, just more often with him as the interlocutor than students amongst themselves. I would recommend taking this class in particular and Prof. Smead's in general. Unfortunately, I believe this particular course will only be offered once more, but if you enjoy history or foreign affairs, or have an interest in terrorism or philosophy or sociology, or just want a solid HONR class for the citation, then consider this.
