Opinion: 1305/1306 - Dr. Gil is a decent professor who loves when people care about their performance above just "doing well on tests". She likes using some out-of-the-box methods and examples to get you to remember things, but most of the people I know find her quite entertaining. I would recommend paying attention in class, or she may call you out. She's a professor who prefers for you to participate fully. The classwork for 1305 is quite easy. 1306 is more difficult and her pacing of the class is a little wonky at the end. Her SIs and LAs are incredibly helpful and cheerful and help with everything though. I took AP Bio and AP ES in high school so take this with a grain of salt, but I thought this course was quite manageable. It's also surprisingly easy to cram if you have a good memory. Honestly, she makes the test seem like it's going to be hard, but everything is pretty easy. It's just in her slides. She uses questions from her Learning Catalytics, homeworks, and the SI practice test in her tests. So if you do those, there may be a test that you've already seen a good portion of. She also usually curves tests a bit (drops one too!), so I wasn't ever too worried about the tests. If you can adapt to her teaching style and understand accents decently well, try taking her course. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3305 - this course is just an english course. memorize a large amount of terms, and do some coding (even though its a gen ed). he seems like a super sweet and nerdy guy, but withholding us from taking an exam because not enough of us did course evaluations is wild. he needs to rethink how to do exams, and homework, the presentations were fine. homework should be reinforcing learning, not coding class. i was lucky enough to have a fantastic group and coding experience, but there is no reason for that at all to be used. below average course. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: ENG 4369 - Consider the poor English of these other comments before you take their opinions to heart. Dr. Sigler is a great teacher, and made me love the topic of Modern British Novel, even though I don't necessarily like that literary style by any means. The syllabus may seem overwhelming at first, but the reading is actually very doable, and you will likely get an A as long as you actually do the reading and put effort into the essays and assignments. The midterm and final were very easy to prepare for, as she gave a review slideshow to give us an idea of what might be on them and exactly what format the responses should be in to get the most points. We did have to co-lead the class for a grade, but most of it is just reading what she types out. Overall, Dr. Sigler is kind, but not a doormat who is willing to let ylu abuse her kindness and get an A without showing effort. If you are lazy, this class might not be for you. If you are willing to put in some amount of work for an A, this class is enjoyable and more than worthwhile. I am a better student for taking this class, and I enjoyed it, too. This class was not a source of stress for me, but a class designed in a way that let me experience personal growth as a student. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1420 - This class covers a ton of material, and lectures go at a rapid pace. It can be hard to keep up with Nazzario but he seems like one of the kindest professors in the department. You’re going to need to study well and really grasp the material to do well on the tests, as they are pretty difficult. The Pearson homework usually isn’t that helpful but the sheets he assigns + the practice tests are useful study aids. He also curves exams and often offers extra credit, which cannot be said for several other physics professors. He’s definitely your best bet; a really good man who’s always willing to answer questions and makes himself available in his office. Lectures were hit or miss but you can tell he’s passionate about his profession and wants you to excel (it’s still a ton of work.) - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2311 - Linear - If you’re taking Dr. Hunter for math, congrats. What a stud. I was skeptical of the flipped class format, and honestly still don’t love it, but it works. The videos he makes are really helpful for understanding topics conceptually, which for Linear Algebra was crucial. It can be tedious having to go home and learn material but taking notes gives you almost everything you need and it takes maybe a few hours a week. In class, he goes over the material and answers questions, also helping with the daily work as you complete it. (This is 20% of your grade and basically free if you put in some level of effort.) Exam formats are unique but not necessarily difficult, especially because he posts practice exams that are extremely similar to what you’re gonna see on the real thing. On top of all this, the guy’s mad funny and always available to help you. Low cortisol professor. Take him!! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 4360 - DO NOT TAKE - RUN AWAY - HIGH CORTISOL AREA. For starters mid way through the semester he changed the exam format to where its lockdown browser AND turn our desks around to face our screens to him. Never seen that in my 4 years here. Has those dreaded DSM's that never actually relate to the class. Has regular homework assignments from McGraw Hill where even AI got me a 40% one time because his notes are so wrong and so unhelpful that he has had to, NUMEROUS TIMES, go back and tell us he did something wrong in the class before. His BUBOOKS ratings go back to 2008, he's an established researcher here, and he still doesn't understand how to teach his own class??? So yeah, you're not going to learn and the test averages are like 60-70. I'm going to be honest, I am actually a good student and was well versed in this stuff already so I did get a good grade, but if you actually want to LEARN for the first time, this dude will delay your graduation or increase your time to death. He's a nice guy, he means well, yes he has a slight asian accent but it's very understandable what he's saying. He does smile and laugh and try to make jokes sometimes and is pretty accomodating, like he did open late assignments and such if you missed it. Also if he didnt then it would guarantee failure lol. Also you can only miss 6 classes and he only has morning time slots. This guy hates being asked questions, doesn't understand his own material, is hyper paranoid about cheating, has to curve many tests, and has been here almost 20 years. Its insane, he needs to find another job because he is clearly passionless about this. DO NOT TAKE. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: CSI 2350 - Aars is a cool guy. Really funny and does his best to engage you during lessons, but lectures aren’t always concise and often fall behind the pace of the course. Exams are pretty fair but it’s just hard to determine what to study because the course is content-rich and the pace of teaching is all over the place. He’s fun and will answer your questions, he wants you to understand. The class kind of feels unnecessary given the textbook, and there is just a lack of structure. Overall, you can knock him for the teaching but if you put your head down you’ll do fine and probably really like the guy. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: QBA 2302 - This class is relatively easy as long as you follow along with the excel homework Dr. Eide assigns you outside of class. If you do the excel, the quizzes and the exams become worlds easier and easy to follow along. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 4368 - Behavioral Finance might be the easiest and yet MOST learning I've ever done in my finance major. All of his concepts, theories, and readings were actually enjoyable to learn about. He talked all class about how it ACTUALLY applies to our lives and futures. This is not just some read off the AI slides and give you a hard exam, kind of class. This is what all classes should be modeled after. YES there is the dreaded discussion posts, but that is the ONLY work you have. The midterm was free if you studied for like 2 hours on a quizlet. There is a final paper instead of a final exam, and it's super easy, you get to write it about anything you want and I made mine tailored to me and enjoyable. This is how schools need to change their style to be more like. Man is also very jolly and Christian and prays and is very personable with everyone. TAKE THE CLASS!!! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1350 - The sky is blue, Prof Forney is goated. Took her for Scriptures and now for Heritage; it has made my first year of college substantially easier. Her lectures are fun and cover most of the relevant test material, making the reading more of a supplement to your learning. She’s super sweet and a considerable fraction of your grade is talking with her and submitting a few reflections that show some engagement and nuance. Exams are open-note and classes are cancelled those days. Great person, great teacher, makes a required class enjoyable for students who have to study for their major. I would take this professor if she taught a 4am under I-35. If she’s an option then take her for sure. - Grade In Class:A
