Opinion: 3315 - He's a really nice professor, just have high expectations, but that is a good thing because I'm actually trying and learning in his class. I would say taking his class is a good experience to have, and he does give helpful tips. Compared to other professors, he's actually pretty good, just be prepared to put in some effort in your work, but at the end of the day, your effort contributes toward how much you learn and improve. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIO 3322 - He is one of the best lecturers I've had at Baylor and the class itself is very interesting. I would say the grade you get in the class is up to you and depends on the amount of work you put in. You will get used to cold-calling and he tries to help you get to the answer. Just make sure you do the notes before class. His exams are the tricky part so make sure you study every thing from his lecture videos and pay attention in class. Use anki from the start. - Grade In Class:C+

Opinion: CHE 4341 - Literally slaved away at this class. Bryan himself is not a great teacher. Its very easy for him to go off track or skip a bunch of slides to make class end early. I never went to class because he just summarizes info on the screen and talks about his kid. If you can self study really well, make sure to start from day one with the lecture recordings or youtube vids. If you have any questions about content go to him directly, NOT the TA. As much as I love Morgan, she does not always know what will be on the exam at all times. Make sure to visit his office hours a week before the exam and he might accidently tell you exam questions lol. Also make sure to do really well on the first two exams, those were the easiest content wise. Also, visit the TA after exams to get points back. Overall his class isn't crazy for workload but do NOT cram for the exams! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: PHY 1408 - Literally my goat. I actually thank this man everyday. He made me not hate physics. The way he let us use cheat sheets for the last two exams because the avg went lower than expected made my grade locked in from the start. Even without the cheat sheet, if you study level 1 and 2 problems from the textbook, you will be fine. He is very accomodating as well with office hours. Please take this man. I promise you will not even remember you are enrolled in this class, its that easy. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: PHY 1409 - Very nice prof. He tries to help out wherever he can. You will get violated by the second exam. Its just the content, its not him. But if you visit office hours alot he will make you understand. He is a great prof but the content just sucks. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: GTX 3331 - Dr Drahos is the coolest GTX professor I've studied with. I was a UNSC freshmen and took GTX 3331 with her in the spring in tandem with GTX 2302, and it was one of the most life-giving classes I've taken at Baylor thus far. Dr Drahos, perhaps, is slightly easier than Dr Neilsen in terms of paper expectations (speaking from experience!), but she still has high standards for writing which any prof would have. Some may say Dr Drahos is hard but in my opinion this is what you sign up for in a GTX class, and every part of it is a joy. Dr Drahos is full of grace and kindness and open to the wildest of ideas. If you love crazy ideas that blow your brain up, you will LOVE Dr Drahos. She had us do daily commonplace journaling, two midterms which were in class essays (I didn't struggle with these THAT much but some classmates did, you just had to answer the question without fluff, a pretty normal expectation I would say), a creative paper, a semester long project, a final paper, and the final which was three in class essays. We had guidence and as a class talked together about what the in class essays were about. TAKE HER! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: UNSC 2302 - Dr Neilsen is not impossible, despite what many ratings may say. She has high expectations for papers but other parts of the class like the midterm, note-cards, and participation can make up for a bad grade on an essay. Dr. Neilsen wants you to grow in her class so sometimes if it seems she isn't super helpful, its because she knows that you can figure it out and you will. Take her if you haven't read a lot of the books before because she is good and introducing you in a broad way to the text. It may feel a little boring if you've read the texts before but not if you participate and ask hard questions. The class is mostly lecture, with some discussion but mostly listening to Dr. Neilsen's lovely voice. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3300 - Dr. Kroesche's main strength as a teacher is that he has an extremely thorough knowledge of his subject and can answer any question you throw at him. He explains the logic behind the math instead of just steps and talks through his thought process as he teaches. He's very organized and straightforward, and the lectures follow a predictable structure and pace. That being said, he does teach really fast and it can be hard to keep up. But he is available for office hours every day of the week and will basically reteach whatever you don't understand if you ask. He is lenient on homework and will give you extensions as long as you have a somewhat decent excuse. Exams were very fair; the questions were all variations on examples done in class or on homework. Overall one of the best math profs I've had. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2321 - The way Cates teaches this class, the best way to succeed is plug and chug; you get a formula sheet for exams, so as long as you know what to plug in where, easy A. That being said, I learned absolutely nothing. His lectures and video lessons consist of him working examples over and over with no explanation of what is happening mathematically. It's all computation and memorization. When you ask him a question, he is often discouraging and belittling, dismissing your question in front of the class. The questions on exams are lifted straight from the textbook, but he grades extremely harshly for notation and shown work. Overall, absolutely horrible experience but the easiest A of my life. - Grade In Class:A
