She always shows integrity in every interaction she is involved in. She is also very patient.
Smita is full of nursing knowledge and is excited to share it with her students. She caters to her students learning styles with notes, videos, and funny mnemonics. One time when learning a Parkinson's drug she sang a Beyoncé song and the whole class remembered the name of the drug. Smita goes the extra mile for her students. After back-to-back exams, she brought the class snacks because she didn't want any students to get hungry. She always shows integrity in every interaction she is involved in. She is also very patient. This semester she saw that her previous students needed help in a class she was not teaching. She gave them a mini-lesson so they could understand the material better. During class, she will ask how well the students know the topic from previous levels and offer a refresher course. She also offers help after tests and will meet with students one on one to understand the material better and get better studying strategies because she wants her students to succeed.
