Opinion: 1301 - I honestly don\'t understand why Dr. Mercado has so many bad ratings. She\'s super sweet and passionate about her class and field of study. Homework includes TopHat and Aktiv questions, which, honestly, aren\'t too bad. Most of the questions are helpful for practice and exam preparation. The class includes 4 MC exams and 1 Final over the semester; however, she also offers a 15-point extra-credit assignment that boosts your grade, AND all of her exams, she literally gives you all of the equations needed. Although I got a C+ (which I was 2 points away from a B), I feel like her grading is pretty lenient, especially since she gives bonus questions on each exam. Definitely go to office hours and/or SI sessions if you are confused about a concept. Most of the time, bad grades come from not using all of your resources to achieve the grade you want. The only thing that seems to be an \"issue\" is that she mostly reads off of her slides, but other than that (and even then) it\'s a great course. - Grade In Class:C+

Opinion: 2303 - Existentialism: Where to start... Firstly, an A in his class is a 95, which I managed to get, but looking at the average scores for assignments, it didn\'t seem like everyone got it. About half of your grade is based on 4 in-class essays about previous writings, about 40% participation, and about 10% a presentation you do sometime during the year about a chosen author and work. Now about the workload: the readings that Dr Gentry expects you to do are definitely very, very long and hard. We covered works by Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, de Beauvoir, Heidegger, Hegel, and CS Lewis, with some movies by Christopher Nolan and Terrence Malick by the end of the course. Lots of the actual philosophical readings were incredibly hard to read and understand without summaries and paraphrasing, and Dr Gentry somehow expects you to understand at least most of it by the time you get to class. He\'ll literally sit there, ask the class what their thoughts were on the reading, and ask some guiding questions as the students talk. He did teach us some basic philosophical theories a few times just so some arguments could make sense, but overall, this is a 90% discussion-based class, which sucks if you\'re not one of the 2-4 students who do most of the talking. Back to the readings, but he expects you to read before each class, except when we read the 2 Dostoevsky novels and the CS Lewis novel. However, even if he gives you 2 weeks to read Crime and Punishment, he expects it to be fully read by the end of the first week, so you can discuss the whole novel for a full week. Keep in mind Crime and Punishment is like 500 pages... Anyways, the workload is crazy high for a 2000-level class, but the grading is overall easy, so take it if you like to read, I guess. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: CSS 4311-SUMMER - TAKE DR. BROWNING. To reiterate what has been said, he clearly cares about his students, great teacher, grades fairly. I got two bonus points for catching a mistake he made on one of the quizzes. For the summer it's fully asynchronous, with four modules with readings and a quiz each (which are all multiple choice), and one final topical paper. Do take the quizzes seriously since each quiz is 50 points with only 25 questions (which means each question is worth 2 points). You only need 89.5% to get an A, but as I said, it's pretty easy to loose too many points in the quizzes. Great guy, day to day life relevant content. 10/10, do recommend. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: Genetics - I'll start off by warning you about his 'teaching' skills, which don't exist. Every class we did one practice problem that we were given more than enough time on (30 minutes for a select all question), and we rarely went over the slides. If you memorize his slides, you'll do fine, the issue is that his exam averages are very low, like 22/26 people fail. We had an exam that like 2 people got an A on, then another that 4 got an A on, always more than half the class failing. The way he teaches makes it seem like ochem on crack, I put triple the amount of time into this class in comparison. Good luck, he's a really nice guy and his cookies on the final are peak. Would I reccommend him over anyone else? Probably not, maybe Dr. M. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIO 3322 - I highly recommend not taking him. It was a super difficult class, which wouldn\'t be an issue if he was more helpful as a professor. He acted like asking questions were a complete inconvenience and if he didn\'t \"like\" the question, the way he answered was with the intent to humiliate the student. While all of us understand he\'s a physician, it doesn\'t seem fair to belittle someone for asking a question that might not be on the level of \"intelligence\" he\'s expecting. The exams itself are very tricky and focused on semantics, so it\'s very easy to get confused between answers. He offers no clarification during the exams. If you decided to take him, you will learn but I don\'t think it\'s worth it. EDIT: Okay so I actually graduated a while ago and while in undergrad, I did complain about this class because it was one of my worst grades. But truly! as a current medical student, this class teaches you SO MUCH. There has been information I have retained that I learned in this class half a decade ago. I HIGHLY recommend taking this class - you learn so much for the MCAT and beyond! - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: 1101/1102 - I didn't have a bad experience in this class but I'm not surprised by some of these reviews. She's very nice but will not give you any leniency whatsoever. I know people with genuine excuses for not being able to complete the lab (like the website not working, or not having access to the login at the start of the year) but they got a zero on the assignment because she wouldn't let them turn it in late. That said, she provides supplemental notes and directions that tell you exactly how to do the lab and the TA handles the rest. The class is mostly busywork that takes way longer than it should. I only went to office hours once because I had a problem with the lab and It was not helpful at all. I think she wanted me to figure it out by myself, which is great but I would have appreciated a hint that wasn’t just ‘do the math’. Also make sure you double check the due dates for everything. For 1101, she made the pre-lab quizzes due an entire week before the actual lab. I know a lot of people who missed the deadline that first week but she still didn’t reopen the quiz for anyone. Still, her rules are all outlined in the syllabus and she adds some extra credit points from completing labs early. She’s a very direct person but she’s not cruel or out to get you. - Grade In Class:A
