Opinion: GTX 3331 - Dr Drahos is the coolest GTX professor I've studied with. I was a UNSC freshmen and took GTX 3331 with her in the spring in tandem with GTX 2302, and it was one of the most life-giving classes I've taken at Baylor thus far. Dr Drahos, perhaps, is slightly easier than Dr Neilsen in terms of paper expectations (speaking from experience!), but she still has high standards for writing which any prof would have. Some may say Dr Drahos is hard but in my opinion this is what you sign up for in a GTX class, and every part of it is a joy. Dr Drahos is full of grace and kindness and open to the wildest of ideas. If you love crazy ideas that blow your brain up, you will LOVE Dr Drahos. She had us do daily commonplace journaling, two midterms which were in class essays (I didn't struggle with these THAT much but some classmates did, you just had to answer the question without fluff, a pretty normal expectation I would say), a creative paper, a semester long project, a final paper, and the final which was three in class essays. We had guidence and as a class talked together about what the in class essays were about. TAKE HER! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: UNSC 2302 - Dr Neilsen is not impossible, despite what many ratings may say. She has high expectations for papers but other parts of the class like the midterm, note-cards, and participation can make up for a bad grade on an essay. Dr. Neilsen wants you to grow in her class so sometimes if it seems she isn't super helpful, its because she knows that you can figure it out and you will. Take her if you haven't read a lot of the books before because she is good and introducing you in a broad way to the text. It may feel a little boring if you've read the texts before but not if you participate and ask hard questions. The class is mostly lecture, with some discussion but mostly listening to Dr. Neilsen's lovely voice. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3300 - Dr. Kroesche's main strength as a teacher is that he has an extremely thorough knowledge of his subject and can answer any question you throw at him. He explains the logic behind the math instead of just steps and talks through his thought process as he teaches. He's very organized and straightforward, and the lectures follow a predictable structure and pace. That being said, he does teach really fast and it can be hard to keep up. But he is available for office hours every day of the week and will basically reteach whatever you don't understand if you ask. He is lenient on homework and will give you extensions as long as you have a somewhat decent excuse. Exams were very fair; the questions were all variations on examples done in class or on homework. Overall one of the best math profs I've had. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2321 - The way Cates teaches this class, the best way to succeed is plug and chug; you get a formula sheet for exams, so as long as you know what to plug in where, easy A. That being said, I learned absolutely nothing. His lectures and video lessons consist of him working examples over and over with no explanation of what is happening mathematically. It's all computation and memorization. When you ask him a question, he is often discouraging and belittling, dismissing your question in front of the class. The questions on exams are lifted straight from the textbook, but he grades extremely harshly for notation and shown work. Overall, absolutely horrible experience but the easiest A of my life. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2311 - Dr. Hunter does a flipped classroom which grew on me through the semester. You don't have to learn everything super in depth to be able to do the in-class work, so I could speed through the videos in ten minutes and be good. The in-class work is basically a free 100, and you can turn it in whenever and he’ll give you full credit. He does a good job explaining the concepts intuitively and repeats the important definitions over and over, so I feel like I walked away with a pretty good understanding despite my lackluster effort. The exams are exactly like his past exams on canvas, and some of the questions were reused word for word. Overall a great chill class, easy A. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: PSC 1387 - TAKE HIM!!! Professor Enriquez is a really sweet guy and is very helpful. The class was very easy with light course work. You have take home quizzes, a paper and 3 exams which are all relatively easy. He is super helpful by providing videos and study guides before exams and lots of extra credit that can help boost your grade. He also post all the slides which was great but the lecture themselves were a little boring. Overall this class is easy just be aware that the cut off for an A versus an A- is a 94 so do all the extra credit!! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: REL 1310, 1350 - TAKE HER!! Dr.Jones is the sweetest human every and this class in my opinion was very easy. I will say the fill in the blank notes in class were a bit annoying but were still manageable. You get to bring in a sheet for each exam and they aren't super difficult. The cumulative final is optional and will replace your lowest exam score only if it helps your grade so no harm in taking it. Overall I learned a lot and it was very interesting. She's the absolute best!! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: CSS 1302 - SHE'S THE BEST!! Professor Russell is the sweetest and if you have to take a speech class take it with her! I getting very nervous presenting and talking in front of a group and she did her best to make us feel as comfortable and prepared as possible. The workload was light with a few take home quizzes, outlines, 4 speeches and peer reviews. She is also very helpful if you are able to talk to her after class or just email her!! She also enjoy chatting with her students and getting to know them!! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIO 1306 - Honestly it's not a super difficult class, she's just not the best at teaching. She mostly reads off the slides. The class is very environmental bio heavy since that's what she studied and is passionate about. It's very interesting but she gave us a lot of busy work that related to that which wasn't super helpful. The workload isn't too bad with daily 5 point quizzes, 4 exams plus a final, weekly bio observations, weekly chapter homework and a few random assignments. Most of the assignments are easy just time consuming. There are also a few random group assignments and groups are assigned so good luck! But be aware she teaches in a flipped classroom style so you should read the chapters or at least look at the summary to be prepared for the quizzes since they are at the beginning of class. The exams aren't to difficult and she provides the slides and study guides which are super helpful. I will say the first 2 exams are the easiest so study a bit more for the last 2 but you do get a drop!The final wasn't too difficult but i'd suggest going in to look at past exams because the questions are similar if not the same. Overall it's an average class with an average teacher. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: SOC 1305 - TAKE HIM!! I honestly thought this class was gonna be common sense but I learned a lot and Professor Piper is wonderful! This class is both super easy and interesting. The workload includes 4 essays(600 words each),take home quizzes and a take home final which are all multiple choice or t/f. The work is pretty easy and trust the essays aren't too bad just make sure that it's in APA format, he's a little nit picky about that. Go to the lectures, he does take attendance but they're also just super interesting with lots of discussion. There is a book you are supposed to read but I didn't and it was completely fine. There is a lot of extra credit mostly watch a video or short film and writing about it which wasn't too bad. The only thing is he doesn't allow computers or any tech so just know you'll be writing all your notes but it's honestly very manageable since it's mostly discussion. So take him if you want an easy A and interesting class!! - Grade In Class:A
