• Hands down one of the best instructors I have had in my 4 years here at OSU. He was clear, engaging, and caring, and I would recommend him to anyone! Prof. Smart made this class informative and entertaining, and honestly the method he used for teaching the class should be used more often in classes at OSU. The team based learning was actually really helpful, and it also helped me stay engaged during class by giving me a chance to share my ideas with a small group 2 or 3 times a class. Overall, Prof Smart was an excellent professor and I’m glad I got to take his class. (Engineering Ethics, SP19)

• Professor Smart was my favorite teacher this semester. It’s noticeable when you get an instructor that really puts their all into the curriculum and teaching methods, and tries to connect to their students. When the school underwent a state of emergency, he was the first instructor to reach out to me; this was greatly appreciated as it took almost all of the extended spring break for many of the others to say anything in regards to their classes. I wish I could offer constructive criticism, but I’d be fishing. I’m extremely thankful to have had such an organized and professional instructor for this course. (Engineering Ethics, SP20)

• Dr. Smart did an incredible job of engaging our class and challenging each of us to critically examine our lives and our future professions through the lens of ethical standards. He was by far the best instructor I had at rapidly adapting his course to distant learning while simultaneously maximizing its educational value/effectiveness. (Engineering Ethics, SP20)
