Dustin Smith INST201 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/24/2026	This was a very easy class. My class was online, and we met on Tuesdays and Thursdays online. We had attendance through Google Forms, but I don't think the professor checked them. We had discussions every Friday, and that's where most of the Draft and Research Reports were made. We had discussions that were straightforward and also had quizzes with 2 attempts each. The class had a lot of readings, but if you skim through them, you should be fine since the readings are discussed in class. We also had exit tickets where we had to write 3 things we learned that week. The Research Report is very straightforward, and you work on it throughout the semester with a ton of feedback from the TA, Shoutout to Kuru, as long as you follow the directions, you should be fine.

The class was fairly easy with a quiz and discussion board post every week, along with a discussion section every Friday for us to get with our team for the semester-long final project. Although there were a lot of readings, which is fairly common for all INST201 sections, he would go over them in class and offer additional insights as to how they can connect to our lives.

There are lots of readings but that's required and has nothing to do with the prof but he definitely makes them easier to swallow. Super slight class and no reason you should not get an A.

He would often give students the chance to complete assignments if they missed it. He actually made the effort to make the class engaging. He showed cared for his students. We worked on a semester long group project, and we have to write a long essay for it which is very simple if you follow directions. The professor and TA's give a lot of feedback and are always checking in on us. Very simple homework assignments as well and there was no exam. I highly suggest this professor!!
