Opinion: ME 2345 - The GOAT. Dr. Terrell is the best prof for Thermo. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN! His teaching ability is what's truly unmatched compared to almost any other teacher or prof I've had. He does almost everything on the whiteboard at a good pace, so it's super easy to follow along, and the way he makes a difficult course so understandable is invaluable. Homework was alright, and tests were challenging but very fair. Take your time to learn exactly how to use the spiral, and go to his office hours sometime; he's really nice to talk to. Dr. Terrell is very involved on campus, and you can tell he really cares about his students and teaching future engineers. Take this man for literally anything you possibly can. (Grade: A-) - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIO 1306 - Don't take her unless you devote a lot of time to memorizing and learning on your own. Her classes are so unstructured and you never know what you're covering. She barely communicates with the class (never sends announcements). When canvas was down and the final was moved, she maybe sent 2 emails. She makes you feel like a burden when you go to her office hours. Her tests are hard and requires you to memorize all of her slides and beyond. She doesnt use chapters which makes it even harder to organize the info you're learning. One of the worse parts was that you had to pay about 40 dollars for Codon which we didn't even use for the semester. So there goes 40 bucks. I honestly cant think of anything good about the class except that she doesnt take attendance. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: EGR 1302, 3305; ELC 2320 - After having PT for 3 semesters in a row, I would definitely recommend taking any of his classes. In EGR 1302, our workload was really light, but he still did a great job explaining digital logic and other topics. His Matlab teaching was all over the place, but I personally didn't mind it (since we ended up being weeks behind the other sections...). Homeworks, quizzes, and tests were all pretty easy and straightforward (with the exception of Matlab sections being pretty rough for me personally because I barely learned it) (Grade: A). For ELC 2320, this one was rough. PT writes those circuits and everything else in his notes so dang fast that I was playing catch up every single class period. And as an ME who already doesn't want to take a circuits class, I wasn't able to catch much of what he was actually teaching because I was so busy writing what he had just wrote. I would almost just recommend you sit there and absorb as much as you can (take condensed notes) and then take pictures of his notes during/after class. Homework was tricky, quizzes were even trickier, and he was strangely a harsh grader on tests. Only if you have other REALLY good options, don't take PT, but overall, I'd still recommend him (Grade: B+). EGR 3305 with PT is the best. No questions, take PT for ethics. He is the best professor for the subject, he's super insightful, I actually learned a lot and asked myself deep questions, the hardest part of the homework is just reading everything on time, 4 two page (single space) essays throughout the semester (first page is a summary of the book, and the second page is a reflection, so it's easier than you think), no quizzes, and tests were very straightforward. TAKE PT FOR ETHICS!! (Grade: A). PT overall is an extremely nice and thoughtful man, and he is a really cool guy if you get to know him. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1408/1409 - I took Vasut for both 1408/1409, not my best decision. He doesn't teach very well, you definitely have to put in the time to teach yourself everything so beware if you take it with an ochem, h-phys or any other hard, time-consuming class. There are 4 exams plus a final, there are no drops, but you can retake any of the exams (except the final). He also doesn't give you back your final grade, so you don't know what you make in the class unless you go to his office, and he won't respond to emails after the final. My best advice is to buy the pearson+ textbook and stay on top of the chapters, watch the videos, and do the misconceptual questions and homework practice problems because he will pull from those on the actual exams. The retake options are pretty difficult, they are all multiple choice, and typically more conceptual than the original exam, he takes the average of the two exams so make sure to study for the retake (you have a week after he gives back the exam grades, which usually only takes him like two days- he is a very fast grader). - Grade In Class:C+

Opinion: 1387 - He is a really nice guy and is a great professor to go to office hours with questions. The class layout is basically 3-4 court case readings/other poly sci readings, per class period, and then a quiz typically every other week, but towards the end of the semester he will have them basically every class period to try to bump your grade up. All of the quizzes are open note and are like 5-8 questions typically, so make sure to take good notes because these are easy points. He doesn't let anyone use computers, so its ipads flat on the desk or paper, and handwritten notes only. There are three exams, follow the study guides, they are actually so helpful, I wish i followed them instead of going back and rereading the cases! Then the final which is super easy, i got a 100%, again follow the study guide, you probably need like 1 day to review and you should be good. My overall advice, do well on the quizzes, study the study guides a week in advance because there's a good amount of information from the cases, and get a study buddy to review cases and the final. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: PSC 1387 - She only lectures and does not use PowerPoints, so it can be hard to follow at times, but it also forces you to pay attention. Be prepared for frequent pop quizzes. That being said, she drops several grades, and even without doing most of the readings I was still able to finish the class with an A. She also offers extra credit for completing course evaluations and allows a cheat sheet on the final. I wrote down all of the amendments and a few major Supreme Court cases and that was enough to do well - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: REL 1310 - Dr. Chae is so sweet! He makes the class very approachable whether you are religious or not. There are short quizzes before each class that cannot be made up, but they are only five questions so they are not too bad. He does cold call people to read Bible verses, so be prepared for that. There are about four group debates that require some preparation, but honestly he mostly just wants to see participation. His lectures were funny, easy to follow, and the PowerPoints supplemented them well. I got the dates for my finals mixed up with another class and overslept, which caused me to miss the final, and he still let me take it in his office with no penalty. Overall, he is a really nice guy and a very understanding professor - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: STA 3381 - As an engineering student, statistics is a whole lot of fake math. For me, it wasn't very intuitive, but Dr. Hill really knows her stuff and does a good job teaching. However, she's a statistician, so the vast majority of her notes in class are conceptual and not enough of showing me how to do the problems with practice problems. Also, I didn't have a tablet, so taking notes was really difficult since it was purely premade PowerPoints. Quizzes were very fair, and tests were pretty challenging, but she is a VERY generous grader. I really hated Stats, but Dr. Hill is great and probably your best option. Just try to enjoy your time in class as much as possible, and take her! - Grade In Class:B+
