1. Rating on Haylee Beard in the Accounting department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: ACC 2304 - HB is OVERRATED. She relies heavily on long classprep and outside written work to substitue for her lack of ability to teach. Her lectures start with some bs for five minutes and then a super easy concept then a easy example. Just focus on studying for Exams 2,4 they are your hardest. 2 is the hardest. Makes sure you do good on 1 and 3 so you can drop one of those other 2. Final exam was lowkey kinda hard so study for that. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
2. Rating on Nancy Sanchez in the Information Systems department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: MIS 3305 - Professor Sanchez's reviews are a lot worse than reality. Were there some problems, yes, but not to the proportion they were made out to be. This class is the generic MIS course that most everyone has to take, but you walk away with a very poor gauge as to what the MIS major is since all you do is busywork. The course is broken up into 7 chapters roughly following the textbook (I never read it). There are a total of 2 exams, each worth 20% of the final grade (so in total it's 40%). They're taken in-class on LockDown Browser but no webcam (probably because she has you take it in-class). The exams are all multiple choice and really aren't that bad so long as you took half decent notes and glanced over her slides (which she posts to Canvas). The final exam is cumulative and worth 25%, but if you scored higher on the final than a previous exam, the final would replace that exam grade. She would prepare these study guides for each exam that would detail the stuff you needed to know, but they were pretty vague and I never really used them. I would just study my notes and briefly glance over her slides. She also gives some lots of bonus points here and there for the exams, and they would be at really random moments too (she'd end class and then say something like "you know what, how about +2 points on the next exam guys?"). The exams really aren't that difficult, and the crazy number of random bonus points are huge (I hit almost a 110 on one of em). Throughout the semester, you complete a total of 7 assignments (collectively worth 20% of the final grade). Sometimes they'd be solo, other times with a partner or a group. Some assignments took a while to complete, others were pretty easy to knock out (it really does depend on what she has you do). These assignments are all just smack busywork, there's really no rhyme or reason to em, but they definitely be should be easy 100s. The last 15% of the final grade is a team project. You work with a group (maybe 5 or so) of your choosing and you make an application using an AI tool called Base44. The app needs to do certain things around a concept of your choosing, and you'll have to prepare a PowerPoint too. You will ultimately present both the application and the PowerPoint to the class in a business casual format. There's actually a sizable amount to be done for the project, but you do it with a group (so pick a good one; I did it with just 2 other guys and it lokey was a clean-sweep plus we just had fun with it so that always helps). A lot of the day-to-day class time was just being lectured to, and the lectures could be pretty lackluster. As a person, Professor Sanchez seemed pretty nice. She would always engage with people in the class prior to beginning her lecture, and made it clear that you were more than welcome to stop by her office or email her with questions. Overall, would I recommend, ehhhh, debatable. There are probably better professors for a gen-ed business course like this, but if you end up having to take her, you're not screwed (it'll be boring, but should be easy). - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
3. Rating on Daniel Webbon in the Music department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: MUS 1101 - Dr. Webbon is overqualified for his job. He's great at music theory and aural skills himself, and is a really solid choice for any classes in the theory area. He is adjunct and has only taught lower-level musicianship classes, but he will work with new students and teach them well, even if you get placed into Intro and not 1. His class this past semester was based on what Dr. Taylor does so it's a similar workload. He grades homework, performance hearings, and tests generously, and he gives opportunities to make up points. Great guy all around. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
4. Rating on Timothy Burns in the Political Science department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 2343 - Dr. Burns is definitely overqualified for this intro-level class and as a result he expects a lot from his students. The class is not impossible but it requires an established level of writing before the class that is already very high. I would recommend him for someone serious about political philosophy and wanting a challenge, but if you are just taking this class because it is required for the PSC degree, consider other profs. He grades not just on substance but also on grammar and syntax, but he will not teach you how to write. If you feel ready as a writer, take his class, but prepare pushback via bad grades if you are not a capable writer. There is a variable amount of reading per class session (anywhere from 15 to 100+ pages); it takes careful time management but at least there is no homework because all grades come from the 3 in-class essays + the 2-hr essay-based final exam. My biggest piece of advice is to go to every single class, do not leave the class even for a bathroom break if you can avoid it, ask questions for clarification (he will answer any questions!), pay close attention, and take voluminous amounts of notes. You will not have any helps like lecture slides so your notes are your only source of review for exams. TLDR: challenging class but knowledgeable prof - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
5. Rating on Deborah Focarile in the Educational Psychology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 2336 - This class was a blast!! It consisted of take home quizzes, a paper, and even some of the exams were take home. Dr. Focarile encourages a more collaborative learning style; very few of our classes were straight-up lecture. The class before every exam is a study day, and she gives us extra credit if we meet with our study group to go over the study guide she gives us. Very light, fun, straightforward class. I learned so much from this class in such an engaging manner. Highly recommend! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
6. Rating on Roxane Jourdain in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3238 - pov: you are frantically scrolling through the comments with a pit in your stomach, forced to take this lab. You feel like you are doomed for failure, many saying this is the worst lab at baylor period. I am here to say there is hope!! Is jourdain a good lecturer? no. Does she grade well at least? quite the opposite. The key to success in this class is doing well on your prelabs, postlabs, and writing assignments. Sometimes Jourdain goes back and regrades, but the majority of the grading is done by your TA. Become buddies with your TA; they tend to be really helpful in knowing what you should include. For the writing assignments, make sure you turn them in correctly and on time! She is pretty strict and will only give you one submission, unwilling to reopen or allow resubmissions for any reason. Do well on those, pray your TA is sent from heaven, and ask for their help. p.s. the final is worth like nothing so don't stress - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
7. Rating on Paul Zinke in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3331 & 3332 - My king!! Took the zinkmaster for ochem 1 & 2. If you are deciding to take hodson or zinke, I would say both classes have a similar chance of success. Zinke is not the best lecturer, but since his exams are all multiple choice, he tends to give more leniency on points back. I am a victim of multiple choice exams so I enjoyed the format of his unit exams. Once ochem 2 hits, it may even get lot easier because you begin to recognize the format of his exams, and if you do enough practice problems, there is nothing he can ask you that you won't know how to do already. For the workload, the hw is useless but make sure to get it done. GO TO SI!!! Do end of chapter book problems!! Practice is key for success in ochem in general. Also, Zinke is the sweetest man and wishes the best for all of his students. If you visit him, he will give you points back on your exams and quizzes. Lastly, the final is lowkey outrageous but doable. He cannot get through that many free-response exams, so his solution is to give everyone an ACS ochem final. For ochem 2, it's cumulative of both ochem 1 & 2. Zinke understands that it's hard, so he gives a nice curve on that exam and a curve on the final grade. IF you study ACS style and get used to it, it's very doable. Overall, ochem is a beast but I believe in you. Keep pushing and your efforts will be rewarded. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
8. Rating on Chris Lopez in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 2306 - I enjoyed this class!! This was the first semester he's done a MWF genetics class so poor man was often struggling to get through all of his content and had to post videos to watch in our own time to catch up. If you have him right now, he class is very very doable. I took this class with OChem 2 and was able to do well. TO succeed in this class, interact with the LA's and Dr. Lopez, do the problems in class, and practice practice practice. Engage in the active learning aspect; the questions he gives in class are purposefully harder than his exam questions and using them to study for the exams are helpful. Make sure to take pictures of those questions because he doesn't post them with the rest of the slides. The LA's are also super helpful and will guide you in the right direction to what exactly you need to know. Make flashcards of all the terms and use the learning objectives!! I would do that every exam and do well. In my class, we struggled a bit so he would always give us exam curves but idk if that's the norm. The homework is so annoying but some have said it helps them if you learn by reading the textbook. The final can replace the lowest exam grade and is pretty easy ngl. He reused some questions from past exams. If you visit his office hours he can show you old exams, and that in itself is helpful for prepping for the final. For every question, always determine what concept he is trying to test you on and the relevant information you need from what's given. He is not as bad as most people say. Good luck! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
9. Rating on Timothy Burns in the Political Science department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 2343 - If you actually want to walk away from this class having deepened your understanding of the texts, please take someone else's class. Prof. Burns is very particular about how you write the essays and is extremely stingy when grading. His written feedback isn't very helpful; in my experience he's written one word critiques that don't make much sense. You'll have to go into office hours to fully understand his reasoning for docking points. Participation is worth a lot (more than the first exam), and unless you ask him directly, you won't know your final grade until you open your transcript. The books we read are very dense, but usually if I am expected to do a significant amount of reading before a lecture, I could only hope that Prof. Burns could make sense of the books. However, his suggested learning strategy of copiously taking notes but having so much content in his lecture and refusing to repeat anything caused me to prioritize having as many notes possible rather than actually understanding what he says. When I'd open up my notes to review after class, I could barely make sense of what I wrote, even if it was directly quoted from his lecture. I was excited to take this class, since it was my first philosophy course I've ever taken. To have a class be so overwhelming in work yet underwhelming in experience is beyond me.I understand that this class (along with many other PSC courses) is a very challenging course to take. However, the teaching ability of the professor should elevate your learning experience and not hinder a student's comprehension of the content, especially if this course is notoriously difficult. If you still move forward in taking his class, go to office hours, ask questions in lecture, and follow his guidelines for writing essays very closely. Good luck. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2026-05-17
10. Rating on Kassie Fehr in the Accounting department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: ACC 2304 - Professor Fehr is nowhere as bad as the older reviews say. She turned over a new leaf and I can confidently say she's a great choice to take for 2304. She gives comprehensive note packets (that you have to fill in), practice exams that are multiple choice and are extremely similar to the actual exams, and the way she teaches makes the material very easy to grasp. Genuinely just don't fall behind and actually try and you'll do great. She's also really nice, and depending on how your class goes she might disregard some topics meaning less to be tested on. Exams and Final were all easy but did require a good amount of studying. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-17
