1. Rating on Soku Byoun in the Finance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 4360 - DO NOT TAKE - RUN AWAY - HIGH CORTISOL AREA. For starters DURING THE GREAT CANVAS HACKING HE STILL MADE US DO AN EXAM ON THE FRIDAY IT WAS UNIVERSITY WIDE CANCELED . AND THEN 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 DSMs 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, hes an established researcher here, and he still doesnt understand how to teach his own class??? So yeah, youre not going to learn and the test averages are like 60-70. Im 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. Hes a nice guy, he means well, yes he has a slight asian accent but its very understandable what hes 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, doesnt 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 Date Listed: 2026-05-08
2. Rating on Marilyn Rhames in the Business department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3315 - Dr. Rhames is a great prof that does care about her students. It's not hard to get an A in her class as long as you show up and do your work. She's very personable and wants her students to succeed. I found the homework we did earlier in the semester to be rather pointless but after we brought this to her attention she took our constructive criticism and altered what our homework looked like. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-08
3. Rating on Don Carpenter in the Accounting department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 2303 - Prof Don is an amazing teacher. Although I had a hard time understanding the topic he made it fun and enjoyable. He responds fast to emails and is willing to have a one on one relationship with all the students in his class even though he's responsible for big lectures. I'd recommend him to anybody..."It's Accounting time!" - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-08
4. Rating on Heather White in the Art department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: ARTH 1300 - Prof White's class can be a little boring at times but she is very kind and passionate about art. In class she often points out what will be on the exams. To be succesful in her class you should take some notes during lectures, review the slides for exams, and do the easy extra credit assignments. It is not difficult to get an A in this class with minimal effort. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-08
5. Rating on Heidi Marcum in the Environmental Studies department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1303 - Welp... She's a super liberal teacher that find a way to dance the line of professionalism just to talk about her view points... she's smart because she always fins a way to tie it into the topic in which she talks about. She favors her students who agree with her political views. She teaches off a slide and never really gives any guidance on her exams. I learned a lot about Wildlife Ecology from my lab prof but not from Heidi. I wouldn't recommend taking this class. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2026-05-08
6. Rating on Cheri Woolsey in the Finance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3309 - FIN 3309 was genuinely one of the most frustrating classes I’ve taken at Baylor. I’ve never experienced a course where students were expected to completely teach themselves the material to this extent. Lectures were often disorganized, problems were worked incorrectly in class, and instead of simply acknowledging mistakes, there was usually an excuse or confusing justification that made things even harder to follow. The biggest issue was how disconnected the pacing was from reality. Before one of our exams, we were told there would be multiple long-form problems on the test. During the review, a single example problem ended up taking essentially the entire class period to finish. It honestly left most of us wondering how we were expected to complete several of those on an exam alongside dozens of other questions under time pressure. A lot of students would ask questions hoping for clarification and somehow leave even more confused afterward. There were multiple times where explanations became so long and convoluted that even the professor admitted they probably made things more confusing. Review sessions also felt incredibly inefficient. I remember spending a huge portion of one review class going over a problem that we were later told would not even appear on the exam. Overall, the class environment felt unnecessarily stressful and poorly structured, especially for a finance course where clarity and organization are extremely important. If you are someone who learns best through strong instruction and clear explanations, this class will probably be a rough experience. I managed to get an A, but it came almost entirely from self-studying outside of class rather than learning during lectures themselves. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-05-07
7. Rating on Cheri Woolsey in the Finance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3309 - I usually never leave reviews for professors, but this class deserves one. FIN 3309 was honestly one of the most exhausting and poorly run courses I’ve taken so far. The material itself is already difficult, but the way it was taught made it 10x worse. Lectures constantly felt all over the place, and it became normal for students to rely on YouTube, Chegg, old notes, or each other just to figure out what was going on. The biggest problem was that class time rarely felt productive. There were multiple occasions where simple mistakes on problems turned into long confusing detours instead of clear explanations. Review days were especially rough. Before one exam, we were told to expect several large calculation problems, but then one example question during review took basically the entire class period to complete. Everyone just sat there wondering how we were supposed to finish multiple questions like that during an actual timed exam. Another frustrating part was how hard it was to get straightforward answers. A student could ask a direct question and somehow leave more confused than before. A lot of explanations felt overly complicated for no reason, and confidence in the material started disappearing because nobody knew whether the setup being shown was even correct half the time. What makes this worse is that most people in the class were clearly struggling together, so it wasn’t just a “students not studying” issue. The general feeling from almost everyone I talked to was that the course lacked structure, clarity, and organization. I ended up doing well grade-wise, but it definitely wasn’t because of the lectures. Almost all of my learning came from teaching myself outside of class. If you can take another professor, do yourself a favor and do it. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2026-05-07

10. Rating on Cheri Woolsey in the Finance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3309 - FIN 3309 ended up being one of the most disappointing classes I’ve taken at Baylor. I came into it expecting a difficult course, which is completely fair for finance, but I did not expect to feel this lost for almost the entire semester. A lot of the lectures felt confusing and unorganized, and there were many times where mistakes during examples just made things harder to follow instead of clearer. I tried really hard in this class. I went to lectures, studied outside of class, worked through practice problems, and still constantly felt behind. It honestly seemed like most students were teaching themselves through outside resources because class explanations often raised more questions than answers. I remember one review session before an exam where a single problem took nearly the whole class period, even though we were told we would have multiple similar questions on the actual test. That was kind of the moment where I realized how unrealistic the expectations in this course were. What frustrated me most was that I never really felt confident going into exams because there was such little clarity throughout the semester. Questions from students usually turned into long explanations that somehow left everyone more confused. By the end of the class, I felt more exhausted than anything else. I hope to finish with a C, and while I’ll take responsibility for my grade, I genuinely do not feel like this course set students up to succeed. I’ve had challenging professors before, but this class just felt unnecessarily difficult in a way that didn’t help people learn the material better. If you have another option for FIN 3309, I would seriously consider taking it. - Grade In Class:C Date Listed: 2026-05-07
