1. Rating on Cheri Woolsey in the Finance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3309 - FIN 3309 was genuinely one of the most frustrating classes I’ve taken at Baylor. I’ve never experienced a course where students were expected to completely teach themselves the material to this extent. Lectures were often disorganized, problems were worked incorrectly in class, and instead of simply acknowledging mistakes, there was usually an excuse or confusing justification that made things even harder to follow. The biggest issue was how disconnected the pacing was from reality. Before one of our exams, we were told there would be multiple long-form problems on the test. During the review, a single example problem ended up taking essentially the entire class period to finish. It honestly left most of us wondering how we were expected to complete several of those on an exam alongside dozens of other questions under time pressure. A lot of students would ask questions hoping for clarification and somehow leave even more confused afterward. There were multiple times where explanations became so long and convoluted that even the professor admitted they probably made things more confusing. Review sessions also felt incredibly inefficient. I remember spending a huge portion of one review class going over a problem that we were later told would not even appear on the exam. Overall, the class environment felt unnecessarily stressful and poorly structured, especially for a finance course where clarity and organization are extremely important. If you are someone who learns best through strong instruction and clear explanations, this class will probably be a rough experience. I managed to get an A, but it came almost entirely from self-studying outside of class rather than learning during lectures themselves. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-07
2. Rating on Cheri Woolsey in the Finance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3309 - I usually never leave reviews for professors, but this class deserves one. FIN 3309 was honestly one of the most exhausting and poorly run courses I’ve taken so far. The material itself is already difficult, but the way it was taught made it 10x worse. Lectures constantly felt all over the place, and it became normal for students to rely on YouTube, Chegg, old notes, or each other just to figure out what was going on. The biggest problem was that class time rarely felt productive. There were multiple occasions where simple mistakes on problems turned into long confusing detours instead of clear explanations. Review days were especially rough. Before one exam, we were told to expect several large calculation problems, but then one example question during review took basically the entire class period to complete. Everyone just sat there wondering how we were supposed to finish multiple questions like that during an actual timed exam. Another frustrating part was how hard it was to get straightforward answers. A student could ask a direct question and somehow leave more confused than before. A lot of explanations felt overly complicated for no reason, and confidence in the material started disappearing because nobody knew whether the setup being shown was even correct half the time. What makes this worse is that most people in the class were clearly struggling together, so it wasn’t just a “students not studying” issue. The general feeling from almost everyone I talked to was that the course lacked structure, clarity, and organization. I ended up doing well grade-wise, but it definitely wasn’t because of the lectures. Almost all of my learning came from teaching myself outside of class. If you can take another professor, do yourself a favor and do it. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2026-05-07

5. Rating on Cheri Woolsey in the Finance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3309 - FIN 3309 ended up being one of the most disappointing classes I’ve taken at Baylor. I came into it expecting a difficult course, which is completely fair for finance, but I did not expect to feel this lost for almost the entire semester. A lot of the lectures felt confusing and unorganized, and there were many times where mistakes during examples just made things harder to follow instead of clearer. I tried really hard in this class. I went to lectures, studied outside of class, worked through practice problems, and still constantly felt behind. It honestly seemed like most students were teaching themselves through outside resources because class explanations often raised more questions than answers. I remember one review session before an exam where a single problem took nearly the whole class period, even though we were told we would have multiple similar questions on the actual test. That was kind of the moment where I realized how unrealistic the expectations in this course were. What frustrated me most was that I never really felt confident going into exams because there was such little clarity throughout the semester. Questions from students usually turned into long explanations that somehow left everyone more confused. By the end of the class, I felt more exhausted than anything else. I hope to finish with a C, and while I’ll take responsibility for my grade, I genuinely do not feel like this course set students up to succeed. I’ve had challenging professors before, but this class just felt unnecessarily difficult in a way that didn’t help people learn the material better. If you have another option for FIN 3309, I would seriously consider taking it. - Grade In Class:C Date Listed: 2026-05-07

Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3309 - FIN 3309 was honestly one of the more disappointing classes I’ve taken at Baylor. I expected finance to be difficult, but I didn’t expect to spend so much time trying to learn the material on my own outside of class. Lectures often felt disorganized, and there were multiple occasions where mistakes during examples or confusing explanations made topics harder to understand instead of clearer. One of the biggest frustrations was how inefficient class time could feel. Review sessions especially were rough. I remember one example problem before an exam taking nearly an entire class period, even though we were expected to complete multiple similar questions during the actual test under time pressure. Situations like that made the pacing and expectations feel unrealistic. It also became pretty common for students to rely on YouTube, tutors, group chats, and outside resources just to feel confident enough for exams. A lot of people I talked to felt more confused leaving lecture than when they walked in, which is not something I’ve experienced often at Baylor. I understand every professor has a different teaching style, but this class left me genuinely surprised Baylor would consider this an effective way to teach such an important finance course. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2026-05-07
7. Rating on Thomas McGrath in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1302 - Coming from someone who aced every exam in his Honors 1301, I don't recommend this class (honors 1302). His tests. I don't understand the use of giving us Aktiv, TopHat, and extra practice in Canvas if the test questions are going to be completely different and 2-3x as hard. You can do all the homework and extra practice material, which--for each test--should add up to well over 150 questions, and still only guarantee a 75. The quizzes have basic questions like "what is combustion" yet the test is nothing like you've ever seen. Dr. McGrath is a wonderful person, but it does just feel like these tests are hard for the sake of being hard. They don't test your understanding of the material, they test you fundamental logic, problem solving, and algebra skills. You think you had time after each test in honors chem 1? You will run out of time (just like basically the entire class) on every. single. test. The test is about 2 pages multiple choice and the rest (there's not much questions in total) is open-ended. I'm not sure what his criteria is when giving partial credit, but I can definitely say I'm not the type to sit there and write down whatever I can think of to get back a singular point. Overall, the man is great. I do think that, when it comes to some topics, I think he forgets that they aren't quite common sense to us yet (so we end up having instances where he has to let all of us go more than 10 minutes overtime and add a 10 point curve, which actually help less than you'd imagine). Please don't take his honors chem class unless you have fun with logic puzzles and are willing to take a GPA hit. Everyone I asked has had similar issues regarding this class. So many of us getting our first B with him. Just...don't take honors chem 2. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2026-05-07
8. Rating on Jennifer Laderi in the Sociology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1305 - I thoroughly enjoyed the class. You don't really do all that much, but this is what a real "college" style class feels like. Lecture, discussion, paper (super easy) and test(also really easy). Seeing one of the other ratings here, I need to point out that I really like the fact that they got her to teach Sociology 1305. Her accent may be a little strong at first, but she actually provides an additional lens through an immigrant's perspective as well. You can say she's really lived through what she's teaching. I wouldn't say she's prejudiced in any way either. She always gives us a disclaimer that she's just giving us the course material and she's not here to push an agenda. I think that many people tend to get put on the spot (usually because they aren't paying attention) and end up getting offended hearing certain things in the lecture (even if she's just reading statistics off to us). Don't take sociology in general if you feel as though you will get offended hearing that your race is "more or less privileged" historically or something along those lines. If anything, that's a problem you have with the course and sociology in general, not any specific teacher. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-07
9. Rating on Evangeline Rukundo in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1101/1102 - Meh. I didn't go to office hours a single time. Didn't email or anything. You can get a really good lab instructor (TA) or a really bad one. Mine were both good. I didn't have much of an issue with the class at all aside from that one lab report that had so much math it took my lab partner and I 3 hours to finish. The exam seemed scary, but the review she gave us was basically the test. I looked over it for like 5 minutes right before the final and I can confidently say I got an A. I can't attest to what kind of person she is, but she smiles if you greet her (?) so... - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-07
