Opinion: QBA 3305 - To preface here, Dr. Weng is a really nice person. She's very sweet, engaging, and very approachable and friendly if you have questions or need to talk about your grade. Bear in mind that she's a tenured research faculty member, so she's crazy smart and like grossly overqualified to be teaching QBA II. The layout of her course is split between non-cumulative exams (there's 3 with the third being the final), a weekly assignment, attendance, a group project at the end of the semester, and teamwork participation for that project. The exams are worth a total of 60% of the final grade, and they're about 20-28 multiple choice questions taken in-class on a Scantron. Dr. Weng really goes out of her way to make sure the exams are graded correctly, since she runs them through the Scantron and then will go through each one herself to make sure it was graded correctly (or if you like circled different answers on the exam than on the Scantron). The weekly assignments are worth 10% of the final grade and can vary between an RStudio tutorial or some assignment on Canvas (there were about 7 assignments total). Whoever her TA is that grades the weekly assignments sucks, since he would dink you on points for the most ridiculous things. This is ok though since you could just talk to her and she'd change the grade (again she's super nice with these sorts of things). Much of the class on the day-to-day basis was just her lecturing from her slides. She does post her PowerPoints but she intentionally removes some slides which you have to get from your notes during class (it's probably like a 70/30 split between info that's on the slides she publishes and the info that she talks about in class). The thing with her lecturing though is that she's really smart and goes super in-depth on some things, which can make you fall behind and get confused as to what she's teaching (it can also just be really boring material). This definitely bothered me a little for when exams would come up, but she would do a study day right before the exam and outline exactly what you needed to know for the exam (which every time was far less than what you'd expect). Now the final project (worth 10% of the final grade + the 10% for teamwork participation but that should be a freebie) is a little doozy. It revolves around usage of R and RStudio, and while you do some assignments in class to learn it, you really don't learn exactly how to use it (this class is portrayed as being like BUS 1350 for Excel, but you really don't walk away with that level of knowledge for R). This dilemma for the project is ok though since she gives you a file to use and put into RStudio, so all you do is fill in the blanks based on your data. The project is done with a group (you get to pick who) and you ultimately present your PowerPoint to the class. The only opportunity for bonus points in this class is through the presentation, where the class will vote on who had the best one and they get +5 points. I overall would recommend Dr. Weng for QBA II, just know that it will require a tad bit of work to actually land the A (really not that much though). - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1302 - Dr. Jones is my favorite German professor! She truly wants you to learn the language and makes sure you are grasping the important parts of it. There is homework after every class, usually online on weekends and worksheets on weekdays. She only gives a lot over the weekend because you have more time to complete it, but it can still be completed in under 2 hours. There are quizzes assigned exactly one week after new vocabulary is introduced, and she always tells you exactly what she expects you to know for the quiz. She makes you answer what you got for the homework or in-class worksheets in front of the class, but she doesn't make you feel bad if you got it wrong; she will correct you. There are lots of partner work and speaking exercises. The exams are like the quizzes; she makes a study guide and mock exam to look over, and there is always an exam review day prior. She literally wants you to get an A on every exam, so as long as you use her resources and show you are trying, you can do well. She also provides a list of questions she will ask before oral exams. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1387 - The best professor to take for Constitution! There are weekly online quizzes you can take at home, and you basically have the whole week to complete them. He does take attendance, but he will take excused absences into consideration. Unexcused absences will impact your participation grade, but you can honestly go to class and work on other stuff if you need to and still get an A. You can have 2 4x6 index cards for every exam, and he makes a review video and a study guide so you know exactly what you are being tested on. He isn't a stickler for case names, just what it led to or its importance. The final is not cumulative; it's just exam 3. There is a weekly reading, but usually the class powerpoints go over the same material that's tested on. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 4303 - Best class ever! Dr. Cunningham is so sweet and does an amazing job teaching this course! There are 2 exams and a final, but she let us have an 8.5x11 cheat sheet for the final. There are article annotations before every class, but as long as you show engagement with the reading with highlighting and comments, you'll get full credit. There is an oral history project where you interview a woman in medicine. It's so interesting, but it's definitely a lot of work, so don't wait until the last minute to finish it. Then there's a group project where you make a game inspired by the course, which is definitely fun. Finally, there is a literature review on whatever topic you want; she highly encourages getting it published and sets up checkpoints to keep you on track. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BUS 1350 - If you only have five seconds to read: Take this class. Context about me as a student: This was my second attempt taking BUS 1350, I did it the second time around much more ready to commit to academics. I communicated my dedication to Lapes early on and he was so helpful and made himself so available to work with. He knows how to explain the material (never had to youtube concepts due to poor teaching). He worked well with OALA accomodations and was understanding when I got really sick. Know where the syllabus provides grey area around grading because I was able to point that out during office hours and it led to a retest that I would not have expected to be granted (my sickness did help with this as well). I mention the syllabus part, but he is not sneaky, he is very straight forward and if you do what he says to prepare for exams then you will do well. Be familiar with the reading on the exam review pages, and ask him about frequently missed concepts before the exam date and he will tell you the most difficult thing. Bonus points he likes star wars if you want to relate to him about that. He is so much better than Ancira (who I took first semester), the way he uses the cengage platform makes studying and the limited self teaching that we do so much easier (compared to ancira\'s pearson). - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: CSS 1302 - Take Winslow! She cares about the subject if you are a try hard like me, but my friends who didn't try as hard as me also ended up fine (A's or B+). You should practice your speech at least once on your own before you give it- and that was the only hard thing (not very hard at all). She is big on no phones, participation, and attendance. Show up and engage and you will be FINE! I had a 103 for a while in her class because of some extra credit opportunities. Side note: you may make some great friends in this class because you get to hear everybody speak about their passions. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1301 - I would take her again! Super easy class, she did not expect anything extraordinary from her students. She was positive, and cared about when I got sick, and when my car got stolen. I saw no other reviews on her, so I am writing this to let the public know that being in her class is a normal very light experience. I am a try hard, and I really enjoyed the content she had to offer at the beginning of the year as it was very personalized to us students. By the end of the year you will work in group projects (my group was very difficult) but it never affected my grade when I commuincated it. Super easy. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: ENG 2301 - Just for point of reference, this section of British Literature is tied in with Environmental Humanities (ENG 2301 EHUM), but so are all of the classes she teaches. The class was a solid ok, like just there to clear any lingering literature university requirement you might have left. The course is broken up into about four units, and each unit concludes with a unit response (essentially a full on in-class essay). Each essay is worth 10% of your final grade, so a total of 40%. The essays are handwritten in a blue book packet since she's paranoid about AI usage (like very anti AI). She provides about 3 themes and you pick one to write about. The themes (or rough ideas about the themes) are provided ahead of time, so you can totally prepare before hand with an outline and quotes (you will need to use quotes). She also lets you use bring in an index card for notes. In addition to writing the unit responses, she has you complete an extra credit assignment. So long as you were taking notes during her PowerPoints (which she posts to Canvas), you should nail the extra credit pretty easily. The grading on these essays can be pretty tough, but that's why she provides the extra credit. Sometimes you will have to pick two texts to compare/contrast, and other times you only need to pick one (depends on the themes and the unit). At the beginning of most every class, with some exceptions, there's a one question reading quiz on the stuff she assigned. Each quiz is just 1 point (you either know it or you don't), and in total they account for 10% of the final grade. They aren't multiple choice, it's a free response, but most are pretty easy to get as long as you did at least a brief skim read. Participation in class is another 10% of the final grade, and it's sorta subjective since you never really get the full 100 on it unless you participate like crazy (no reason you shouldn't get like a 99 on it though). The remaining 40% of the final grade is split between the Literature Applications Essay (worth 30%) and a final exam (worth 10%). The essay is not done in-class, you type it up and revise it before submitting it to Canvas. It's not difficult per say, but it definitely requires some time to complete. She sets aside the last 3 in-class days for "workshopping" the essay, so you can complete some of it then, but a lot of it (like a good 80-90% of it has to be done outside of class. The final exam is reflective, and it's a series of several free response questions that you complete. You don't have to use quotes, but you do have to reference the texts (can be any that you read throughout the semester). There's also an extra credit portion of the final like with the in-class essays, and it's just made up of questions from the previous extra credit assignments (again, should be a clean-sweep). Dr. Woytkewicz also offers other extra credit stuff throughout the semester, like getting feedback on your in-class essays (definitely should do that), attending environmental humanities activities, or memorizing sonnets. In all, the day-to-day running of this class isn't too bad, sometimes even a little entertaining. Dr. Woytkewicz has a really bubbly personality, so that definitely helps. It's really towards the end of the semester that the class kinda picks up, since you get hit with the last in-class essay, the final essay, and the final exam pretty quickly. I will caution you that this class is very much the quintessential "write and say what she wants hear/read, even if that's not what you really think" (in other words, write whatever she wants you to write so you can get a good grade). All around, I would still recommend her, especially since there's no discussion boards or whatnot, just know that there will be a bit more writing than expected. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIO 1306 - Unless you have a pretty decent understanding of college level biology on your own, and don't especially need a professor to guide you, don't take this class. McLoud isn't the worst professor in the Bio department for entry level bio, but he's cutting it insanely close. The platform he had us doing homework on had nothing to do with the test, and yet we HAD to do practice problems and practice exams before the exams that were completely no help at all. His averages for the first two exams were well below passing and he refused to do any sort of curve. Also, his exams do not allow you to go back on any question because he is "preparing you for Med School." THIS IS PRACTICALLY A GEN ED CLASS!!! - Grade In Class:DROP

Opinion: JOU 2303 - Prof. Dietz is one of those professors that you happen to register for their class and can't help but feel like you've won the college professor lottery. She's so incredibly laid-back but also so well-versed in her craft, her feedback is excellent and genuinely has made me a better writer. She typically teaches one class per semester, so if you have the opportunity to take her for either 2303 or 3372, do it. I cannot say enough good things. - Grade In Class:A
