Opinion: 1302 - Garbage professor. I'll start with the syllabus, which seems nice, which was the reason why I decided to take this class. Grades are mostly determined by 4 exams plus the final, which are each equally weighted 20 percent. There is one drop exam, which is always a benefit. Then there is a weekly quiz, which makes up 10 percent of grade. Finally HW makes up the remaining 10 percent. Every exam has a total of 110 points, but she caps at 105. This seems really nice at first, with 10 percent of extra credit available for every exam, but do not be deceived. Some of the worst exam grading I have ever had the displeasure of feasting my eyes upon. There are usually 5-6 short answer questions, and you have to show full work, otherwise, even if you get the correct answer, she will start deducting ridiculous amounts of points for the most miniscule things, such as not boxing your answer. I have lost 1-2 on numerous problems for not showing a simple addition step, like 2 plus 2. She will write comments like, where did this number come from, like obviously I pulled it out of my ass. To continue with her unfair grading policy, she definitely grades everyones short answer problems on a different scale, most probably a scale on how much you glizzy gobble. I have seen some people get the entire question wrong, like all the work and answer are far from correct, and she will only deduct 1 point for an 8 point problem. 7/8 points rewarded for nothing correct lmao. Then again I will get everything correct except sig figs and then get deducted 3 points. Next, some of her multiple choice questions are just wrong. The answers directly contradict what is said in her slides and the textbook. Moving on to quizzes. I have had questions that are actually impossible to solve, have brought it up to her in office hours, she replies with "I would never put a question like that on an quiz or exam," I proceed to show her, then she continues to deny that she put that on her quiz. Finally to cap off, if you dare miss one of her glorious lectures, then she gets pissed off and emails you asking why you are absent. So if you like going to boring, meaningless lectures, and on top of that like horrible exams and grading policies, then this is the professor for you. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2306 - Cinco, cuatro, tres, dos, uno, cicicerenpol. Jello Jelly Jello, the most prominent words you will hear in this class. Do you like being screamed at in class for over an hour? Do you like the most pointless material in existence. Do you like suffering biweekly. This class meets all these requirements. She is a monolingual speaker in Spanish only. She has the most pointless lectures. You will learn nothing from listening to her speak. The way to do well in this class is to avoid paying attention in lecture and instead read the book cover to cover. Also, she is a heavy promoter of glizzy gobbling. The sorority girls in class will give you a mouthful of their stupid questions. For example, "phosphate is nonpolar, right?" Lastly, you will waste an ungodly 45 minutes per week on active learning. They give you the easiest questions known to mankind and spend eternity explaining how to do the problems, pretending this will help me do better on the exam. The only decent thing is the drop exam and the fact that the exams are pretty easy. Dr. Luna serves no purpose in this course; you can take this course alone and do better than being in the class. The biggest pain in my ass and a waste of time for a semester. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1408 - This was my last semester and he was the WORST professor I have ever had. We started the semester with online exams and since we didn't take 9 hours on it, he decided to do interviews and said we all cheated (I failed the exam). We then all had to retake the first exam in class no notes no equations etc. The high was like a 30/100. He then never announced that his policy would be changed so we found out one day before that the second exam would be in person with no notes or equations again (he told one student and not the rest of us). I made a 9 /100 on the second exam. Throughout the semester he yelled at students (yelled at a kid so bad the first day of class that the guy got his stuff and left while Ward was still yelling at him). He never put in any grades throughout the semester except attendance. The homeworks were IMPOSSIBLE and they took like 13 hours a week (even using the internet, plus he assigned homework on exam days/holidays etc). At the end of the semester he started projecting our homeworks in front of the class and asked us to go over it and how we found our answer (I could see how long it took someone, how many times they got it wrong etc). I emailed him worried about the final and my grade in the class since I needed a C to graduate and I didn't know my grade at all and he said he wouldn't put grades in until after I walked the stage and that I just wouldn't get my diploma if I made below a C. This was the worst experience I have ever had at Baylor and so many people dropped that there was only 10 of us total and we had a group chat. DO NOT TAKE HIM. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: BIO 3322 - Truly the GOAT. I still remember walking into lecture on the first day and being in awe that he could lecture perfectly from memory with no external resources. If you are upset about the cold calling or the exam-based grading, good luck in your medical school endeavors because, if anything, he is preparing us for what is ahead. It just makes sense to take Human Physiology from an actual physician! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: PHY 1409 - MY GOAT FIER. Super understanding and lectures well (not like I was paying attention). First and Second exams are very difficult, but you can clutch up your grade using the last two exams. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: HP 1420 & 2306 - Adeyemi is probably the nicest human on the planet. EXTREMELY fair class. Do his guided notes and make sure to take notes on every single thing he mentions in class. A good chunk of exam content is what he mentions in class, he does this to make sure you come to class and pay attention. But he will always make sure to preface and tell us to pay extra attention when introducing a new topic. Flipped classroom, but very low time commitment (in comparison to other popular flipped classrooms like Jonklaas and Tandy). He's amazing! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: ENV 3314 - This is the worst professor I have ever had at Baylor. Her lectures are completely useless for the exams. She talks about stuff that won't be on the exams. Everything for the exams is contained in the PowerPoint slides; you can literally read them the night before and do well. To be fair, the lecture material is probably the most boring stuff known to mankind, so it's practically impossible to make this crap interesting. But having to listen to her ramble for over an hour about this stuff is just absolutely excessive. No one in the class wanted to be there; everyone I talked to said it was like torture. She is extremely disorganized when it comes to posting things on Canvas. She is one of those professors who doesn't put your grade into the Canvas, so you have to calculate it yourself and play guessing games on what you are going to need on the final. And then she doesn't even tell you what you got on the final; she just enters your grade into BearWeb without explanation. There are random homework assignments that she has you do that are pointless. The exams are almost entirely free response and handwritten. There are only two, so you can't screw up on either of them, or you're gonna basically fail. There is a term paper that I am pretty sure she doesn't read and just gives everyone a 95, with no comments on why you get that grade. She has no scheduled office hours, so good luck trying to see her. I would just say she is an egotistical asshole in general, a pretty unpleasant person to have to deal with. Take this class, having been warned. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: PWR 3300 - This is the best professor, hands down, for PWR 3300. This is a required class for many majors, and most people end up dreading it. But Dr. Peters is fantastic. Her class consists of 4 major projects, with the semester spent working on one at a time. The projects are all relevant to the career you will be entering, with many of them focused on AI and how it affects writing. She grades very fairly, and there are multiple revisions for each project, where she will give you direct feedback on what to change for the final draft. As long as you follow her feedback, you will get an A in the course. She has no final, which is the dream, obviously. The assignments genuinely do not take that much time, so it's not one of the classes that eats every moment of your time out of the semester, which is a common problem for a lot of the PWR 3300 professors. Dr. Peters is also just one of the nicest professors I have had at Baylor. She is a very pleasant person to speak with and learn from. I would recommend Dr. Peters over every other PWR 3300 professor, this is the only good option. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIC 2340 - Dr. Hinojosa is the best! He's so nice and genuinely enjoys to be teaching. He's also very conversational, he always has time to talk with students before class, after class, and in office hours. I really enjoyed his lectures and I enjoyed how he let students take lead in the classroom. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: PSC 1387 - Dr. Block is a great professor who is passionate about teaching. As someone interested in political science, I found this class fascinating. I kept up with the nightly readings and did well. However, if you do not read, this class would be hard and boring. If you’re interested in political science, definitely take this course! If not, maybe take one of the other professors. - Grade In Class:A
