Opinion: CHE 1302 - I absolutely LOVED Dr. Stover. Even though I usually prefer chemistry over biology, I can honestly say my positive opinion here is completely deserved. One of the best things about her class is that she posts all exam materials way in advance. That gives you the flexibility to review and take notes on your own time—whether that’s in class or whenever works best for you. The homework is pretty much the same for every single prof. (tophat and activ) but she posts a ton of optional practice which is nice. Her exams are very fair. For the most part, what we go over in class shows up on the test VERBATIM, so if you stay engaged, you’ll be well prepared. She also offers two chances for multiple-choice questions, gives a lot of partial credit, and even includes ~6 points of extra credit on exams, which is amazing. That said, she does teach at a fast pace, so you definitely need to stay responsible and keep up with the material. But overall, Dr. Stover is an incredible professor who genuinely cares about her students, and the material. #fatherofthermo - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: Religion 1350 - For a gen ed class, this one is absurd. The difficulty of the exams and quizzes are ridiculous and you have to be an extremely close reader of the hundred of pages of reading throughout the semester. The only grades are the quizzes and tests with only two assignments which are not graded till the last weeks of the semester so you have no idea what your actual grade is. The class is so boring, she just talks with no emotion and expects you to retain everything. If you want a to have a nice gen ed experience do not take her, because she will expect that this is your priority class and that you will devote hours to reading and studying. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 1430 - This class was so so so hard for no reason. Her grading is entirely random- if you don't get a 100 you might get anything from a 35-85 depending simply on the day. You could make the same mistake twice and get a 85 the first time and a 50 the second time and vice versa. Lectures are pointless because 1. you cant understand what she is talking about and 2. she is 4 weeks ahead of the reading and 2 weeks ahead of the tests. On that note, I noticed about halfway through that we were taking tests for chapters before the reading was even supposed to be finished. I emailed her asking for some clarification and she said "Yeah you should be ahead of my schedule for you." Most of the time when you ask a question she will answer a completely different question then get annoyed with you when you ask for clarity. You have to learn entirely from the zybooks. The only good thing about this class was if you got less than a 100 on an assignment you could go to office hours, figure out what you did wrong, and she would change your grade to a 99. But don't ask her to explain any grades or how they add up because she can't and won't. Despite lectures being pointless, if anyone was on their phone she would stop mid sentence to stalk up to them and interrogate them about why they were using their phone. Half the time they were using duo. She is so nice outside of class just SO unhelpful and I was just praying I would pass so I could move on to another professor. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: PSC 4342 - Professor Cummings definitely has an unorthodox teaching style. She spends some lectures going over material in the readings, but her consistency in doing so entirely depends on what's going on in the world at the time. If something is happening in Iran that she doesn't like, she will spend 3 class days in a row ranting about that instead of teaching. She is not afraid to share her political opinions; however, she encourages you to challenge them (be mindful if you do, she is extremely educated on this stuff and has lived in the Middle East most of her life). The workload is very easy; there's a discussion post due at the start of every class that takes like 5 minutes to do. She has small writing assignments leading up to a presentation. She actually grades very nicely, considering the harsh feedback she gives on every assignment. As long as you put in some effort, this class is pretty easy to get an A in. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIO 1306 - This has been THE most frustrating class I've ever taken. Dr. Dean gives some of the most difficult tests and don't even bother studying because I study like no other for her tests and fail every single one. She does not do makeup tests it doesn't matter if you're on your literal death bed she does not care and you will be expected to show up for the tests. The tests are all multiple choice which usually give you grace but NO somehow she found a way to make a multiple choice exam the most ruthless nitty gritty test. She also does not answer any questions during the test, so you're just going to have to not be curious and be all knowing. The multiple choice questions have options that are all the same but one-word differences so yeah if you like that you've found your match! But for the rest of us just trying to get a degree without all the unnecessary frustration I would recommend taking someone else. No hate to Dr. Dean she is a good person just not a professor I would recommend. - Grade In Class:D

Opinion: ACC Grad Class - I want to start by saying I took her, knowing the reviews, but convinced myself that it would be different because she would be teaching a class that she currently works in. I heard her mention her grad classes would be chill! No exams, there isn't any content afterward, so we can go at our own pace. I was wrong, and she lied; she's not the worst teacher I've ever had, but she's also very condescending and talks down to us, which puts her close to the worst. Worst in the accounting department. I also want to begin by saying I am a good student. I do my homework and study for exams. She also over-explains things and brings up content from other classes from years ago. It's like she gets power over being the smartest in the room. She will bring up stuff like "have you guys learned this?" and quickly explain complex topic saying well learn it eventually which just confuses the class even more. and then were expected to know it to do assignments. She doesn't prep for classes as well. She will do her notes on the fly which leads to multiple mistakes, and she doesn't know where the box gets some of the numbers from. One thing is, she's usually pretty available, like she's in her office all the time. You can only ask questions during office hours. But even then, she's not very helpful. It's some wraparound the answer; it's like she's unwilling to answer the questions you have. I have a friend in class who asked a question. She asked for his answer and told him it was a valid conclusion, but then it was wrong?? What was the point of asking a question then? Finally, workload. She is a workaholic with no other hobbies and likes for her students to be that way. She will laugh as she gives you a ton of homework and tell you it's going to be fun. She's so out of touch with reality. If you want a chill graduate semester, do not take a class with her. She will load you with assignments that take HOURS to do. And she will stack her classes with the same workload. If you take multiple of her classes, you will drown when she has multiple big assignments on the same day across classes. I have yet to take my cumulative take-home final exam, which I have already told will take me "multiple hours" to do. Stay tune - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: pre calc - I went to class, did the homework, and went to SI. When I went to ask her for help because I was continuously failing her exams, she told me to stop eating and study more. Any review that is telling you shes sweet.... I got an outside tutor to pass. She should not teach at Baylor anymore. You do not tell a freshman girl to stop eating to pass a class - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 5361 - Corporate Taxation: I thought that because she does this line of work at PwC that the class would go differently compared to her intermediate accounting class for finance majors; I was wrong. She is horrible at teaching and gives you so much work as if your life revolves around her class. If you go to her office hours for help, she rarely gives you a straightforward answer and, instead, will riddle you towards whatever answer she desires. Her way of encouraging her students to push through her class is by calling everything "fun" afterwards, which gets so annoying. If you're in grad school and want a chill class to either study the CPA or just have a nice semester, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! P.S. if you're doing MTax, good luck because you have to take her no matter what. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2402 - Genuinely the worst prof I've had at Baylor. He has no idea what he is talking about and when you ask him questions he seems to just get more confused. When he lectures he will ask questions that make no sense then get concerned when nobody answers but its only because nobody understands what he is saying. I've never had a processor who seems so confused by their own lessons. On the bright side, the exams aren't too bad because the lab prepares you and you get a cheat sheet. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: 1380 - All the things you should know about this class: no need to buy a textbook or any texts for that matter, there's not really any required work outside of class besides canvas quizzes that aren't too bad. Tests are what'll get you so study a moderate amount. Her lectures are typical of a college classroom, just pay attention, take good notes, and don't be an idiot and you should be ok. Be wary that lots of the reviews on here are just people upset that they weren't read the course curriculum like a bedtime story. It's a class, be an average student and you should easily get an A. - Grade In Class:A
