Opinion: 2310 - DO. NOT. TAKE. This is coming from someone fluent in Spanish and thought it was ridiculous how she treated others. The only good thing I can say is she rounded my grade up 2% at the end. She is the most biased and rude professor I have ever experienced. She called my class dumb multiple times, refused to answer certain people, and graded everyone completely differently. Before the final she told the class we didn't deserve any grace or the grades we were getting because she was "being generous". Average grades on quizzes and tests were 50-70%. For not being a major/minor it caused way too much stress. Weekly pop quizzes, 4 tests, 2 papers, oral, presentation, and VHL homework (around 3 hours weekly). Points taken off for missed periods, missed accent marks, missed spelling, or not having an article. Very little direction on the quizzes/tests and nothing in English. She gave the same grade on presentations to someone who read from the slides for 2 minutes as someone who memorized the 10 minutes (like they were supposed to). The class was a joke because if you weren't her favorite you got no grace and were judged at a beyond high expectation. Don't take her if you care about yourself and not being degraded, you will definitely get picked on and dread going to class. You also get punished if you are too good at Spanish, she had me stay back multiple times because I knew past what she was teaching, and I had to write extra on assignments because they were easy for me. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: JOU 4368 - HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROFESSOR PATTERSON. She is the sweetest professor ever, and truly wants students to succeed. This class is not hard (weekly assignments that take very little time), but the internship component will determine your semester. Don't be like me and take max credit hours while applying to law schools and balancing the internship. You will feel like you have no free time. Overall tho, please take a class with Professor Patterson. She is the best! This is my second class with her, and she definitely has favorite students, but she wants everyone to succeed. All quizzes are online, not timed, and not on lockdown. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: JOU 3374 - I'm going to be an odd one out here and say do not take Mrs. Adamson. Mrs. Adamson is very nice and caring, but is also biased and not a fair grader who doesn't like students who come into class stronger writers than the others. My main complaint is she refuses to give 100s. I have gotten 98s on almost everything, and when I ask her questions she can't justify not giving me 100s (literally, one comment was "if you think this phrase is better" and I did not like the phrase and it changed the meaning of my work). She also lets you correct your assignments, but if you started at 98 she won't give you 100 even when you make the "optional" changes.Please don't let me "make corrections" which are literally just her suggestions if you are a strong writer and know AP Style, for me to STILL get a 98 while hating the word choice. She also gives a crap ton of group assignments for no reason (which hurt your grade if other people aren't as strong in AP Style), the quizes are extremely long, and there's a non-paid internship requirement that I was not aware of starting this class. She also is way too lenient on students who aren't as strong or don't turn things in. There were extensions given to people who didn't turn things in with no penalty, an extra credit assignment at the end of the semester ONLY for those with a grade below a certain level, etc. Genuinely, if you are a strong writer from the start you get punished. Mrs. Adamson is one of those people you can not please, even if your work is exceptional. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: CFS 3350 ONLINE - TAKE THIS AS AN ELECTIVE. This is a pretty easy A class. Half of the lecturers are random YouTube videos, but it is such an easy A. I never bought the textbook and barely skim the lectures, and it is EASY. Weekly, there is a quiz (timed, but not on lockdown) and a discussion post which normally has an activity sheet. The discussion posts take some time, but I don't think I ever spent more than an hour or two during the week on this class. If you need a GPA boost, TAKE THIS. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: ENV 1101 LAB - DO NOT TAKE THIS FOR ANY REASON. I can not say enough of the crap I had to deal with this semester. First off, you can barely hear this TA, so learning is impossible (also, if you correct her about your name, she will make it a point to not say it right). Second, she doesn\'t understand what she is teaching (eg: I had to explain the difference between max and min, and a number line). Third, she can\'t help at all, she will point you to the lab supervisor who does not care to help. She doesn\'t know what\'s on the test, can\'t explain why the directions tell you to circle multiple while the scantron says that will count everything as wrong, etc. She gives class examples that happened to be on the test, but then were wrong because apparently the lab coordinator can\'t control if a TA gives the wrong information. There are so many mistakes on the quizes and tests, but she will do nothing to make your grade accurate. Almost every lab is outside, and the class is overall miserable. You will end up having to drive to the labs (unless you can get out of other classes earlier to meet for the bus), and it\'s an overall waste of time. DO NOT TAKE THIS TA. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1310 - Dr. Swinney was a great professor. He is very smart, educated, and extremely nice. I would 100% recommend taking his class if you are open-minded. Dr. Swinney will challenge your believes, and he will infact help you be more educated in the christian scriptures. I want to take his heritage class later on in my college career. He is great, we have weekly reading quizzez, maybe 2-3 per week, sometimes only 1. they are not hard, and if you are a believer, it helps you stay focused on opening our bible! the tests are multiple choice, you will have 3 exams, 1 for the first half of the old testament (50 questions), 1 for the second half of the old testament, and 1 final exam which is over the whole new testament (approx. 100 questions). This class was fantastic, i would 100% recommend it over and over again! not a lot of work whatsoever, i think anyone that wnats to learn the bible, get closer to God, or just understand christianity, you should def take him! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1305 - honestly, this class was extremely hard for an intro course. I would say that her workload is decently bad, you will have to complete the readings and the questions over every chapter we go over which can sometimes be overwhelming. on her teaching abilities, I just do not think she is very interested in the whole intro idea, she seems bored and just reads off the slides like if it is common sense, when it really is not. One thins about her though, she is always available. She replies to emails fast, and is ablet to meet with you if you need to meet with her for some reason. Overall, this class takes a lot of time and effort, long readings, hard exams (we have 5 exams overall, 4 exams which cover the last 4 units we see (so unit 1,2,3 and 4 will all be one exam) and 1 final CUMULATIVE exam, which is kind of insane for the amount of information we are supposed to learn) the exams are all multiple choice, 50 questions and the final is 100. She also drops your lowest exam score, which definetly helped me, lol. I would not recommend this class, it was a lot specially for my first semester, but if you are truly interested in psych, you might as well take it. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1310 - PLEASE READ ALL!!! we have no homework, she teaches well and she is clearly passionate about the subject. this class is not your regular art class from highschool, so do not expect it to be that way. the year will start off with the easiest concepts, and then she will literally jumped into art history lol. The class is EXTREMELY boring and her exams are ridiculously hard. she is the only professor i have seen obsessed with people cheating, she walks around during exams and does all this random stuff. you do not have homework, its all optional. but again the exams are SO HARD THEY ARE ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS UNLESS YOU LEARN ON YOUR OWN OR CHEAT!! they were also multiple choice and select all that apply with questions like "in class we talked about this, what is true about this art piece" and its actually something we talked weeks ago and she mentioned once. I struggled and I did all the extra credit. you will also have a project where you will have to walk all around baylor, yes really ALL OVER CAMPUS to find art pieces. I went from tidwell to the bsb to the sub and even north russell. it was actually hell. I would NOT recommend this class, if you can avoid it, AVOID IT! she is so nice and smart, but it is actually so boring and hard for a NON ART MAJOR INTRO CLASS! again, love her, she was so sweet but I would NOT take her class again. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1387 - Overall, Dr. Nichols was very funny, he has a minor on theater so he is very funny and interactive. I honestly never listened to anything he had to say. you will have 2 midterms, and one will be done during finals week. you can use ALL your notes in his test. easy A, but you dont actually learn anything because once you get there, you realize that you dont have to learn anything to pass the course. he will aslo give out extra credit for some fun stuff like "hawaiian day" and such. He is very kind and smart, would recommend for an easy A! Oh, on his availability, i have no idea, i never had to reach out so i just put a 3. you will get small quizzez on his lectures after the lectures worth 1-2 points, really easy. before each midterm you will get 2 big quizzez, worth around 30-36 points, it depends but those are good practice fot the midterms. all of these quizzez are outside of class, the only things that are in class are the midterms. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1310 - Prof. Smith is great, she is a PHD student and is honestly so understanding and loving. I loved her class, you will have to write 3 essays, (inquiry, argumentative and research) which are all connected to one main idea. She lets you work on in class and guides you as well, so there is really little to no outisde-of-class work. She was great, I loved her class and I know she works hard. I would definetly recommend her, she was great! You will also need to do a final presentation over your last essay, explaining how you got to your research question, which was really fun!!! - Grade In Class:A
