Opinion: 1301 - Dr. Chu was an alright professor. I retook this class, and while she does provide resources like SI sessions, extra videos, and supplemental help, I personally didn’t feel as supported as I needed to succeed. That said, I think part of it was also on me and my own study habits. - Grade In Class:D

Opinion: 1420 - Dr. Smith was very difficult to learn from. Most lectures consisted of her reading directly from the slides, which were often overloaded with information, making it hard to keep up or take notes. Instead of using class time to review for exams, there was a lot of unnecessary in-class work that didn’t feel helpful. The exams themselves were very long, and there were barely any opportunities for extra credit. Overall, if you take this class, be prepared to rely heavily on yourself to learn the material. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3309 - As a native Spanish speaker, the material itself wasn’t difficult for me—it was more the way the class was taught. Lectures mostly consisted of reading directly from the slides, which didn’t add much beyond what was already provided. If you don’t stay on top of the homework, it’s very easy to fall behind. She also cold-calls students, which can be stressful if you’re not prepared. The exams are extremely long as well. It can sometimes feel like if you’re not one of her preferred students, you may not get as much support, which can be a downside. I’d also recommend finding the books online in PDF format if possible. Overall, not my favorite class, but it’s tolerable if you manage your time and keep up with the work. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: HIS1300 - There’s still a couple weeks left in the semester, and I still have a 100 in his course. Decided to take his course just because I saw people were saying it’s an easy A, however, I was skeptical about the course being super indoctrinating/liberal, just based on the course title. As someone who leans more conservative politically, I’m happy to announce that this course was actually really interesting and would take it again if I could. Dr. Andrew is an absolute angel too, very soft spoken and passionate about what he teaches. This class consists of 2 essays and 2 exams, along with weekly reflections based on some packets he gives you. The weekly reflections are super easy and are free 100s. The 2 essays are admittedly pretty long, but he gives you all the materials you need and plenty of time to do them. He will also let you email him your draft of your essay so he can give feedback, which is helpful to make sure you’re on track to answering the prompt. For the 2 exams, they were actually just a bunch (3-4) shorter essays which accumulated to more words than either of the 2 essays, but they also arent bad. He cancels class for the week that we have an exam, and both of the exams are completely open book, note, etc. I wouldn’t even really call them exams tbh. Overall, loved the class, wouldn’t necessarily call it an “easy” A because of how close the first exam and essay were, but it’s definitely not hard. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: REL 1310 - Swinney seems like a very chill and nice guy, but I'm not gonna lie his class made absolutely no sense to me. I genuinely don't know why everyone is saying he is an amazing professor. I had Swinney back in Spring 2025. All he does is yap his lecture the entire 75 minutes. I never understood his lectures and his powerpoint slides are no help at all when it comes to studying for exams. He doesn't even give you an exam review what the heck. I barely passed the first two exams and I ended up failing his final! I studied so hard for this class. I was literally reading online summaries and watching YouTube videos. Doing this barely even helped at all. You would think the exams would be focused on the stories from the bible. Wrong. The questions on his exam are asking you to identify genre and other things, almost like an english test. I am truly disappointed because I really wanted to learn more about the bible. He does give weekly online quizzes which aren't too hard, but he times you for some reason (usually 10 or 15 minutes for 10 questions). I have no clue if there are any other professors who are better, but I am just saying that Swinney's class was way harder than it should have been. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: ARTH 1300 - Heather White's class was hard for absolutely no reason. I took this class in Fall 2025 because I needed the fine art credit. Her exams were way too difficult. She expects you to remember the smallest details from lectures (she WILL throw some of those things on exams). I was able to pass all exams though so that's good. This is literally a non art major class too, so why try to make this a hard class? We all do not care about art and we just want the credit. I will admit she is a nice lady. I talked to her a couple times. She provides extra credit opportunities (wish I did this). Workload is very light, but her classes are EXTREMELY boring. As long as you study I think you should be fine. Maybe take some notes during lectures to be safe. I do recommend to get another professor though. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: Phonetics - Sammons was very difficult!! She is kind, but has very fast teaching style and made me want to change my major. I was very confused and trying to meet with her was incredibly difficult. She is very nice but certainly not very good at teaching this level of difficulty. When we met, she made me feel very belittled going over my missed questions on exams. Wish there were other options for students like me!! - Grade In Class:DROP
