Opinion: 2301 - Dr. Anderson's class is certainly difficult, but an A is attainable as long as you are willing to work through the reading thoroughly. Expect to spend 3-4 hours per week on reading assignments. This might seem like a lot, but you really need this preparation to score well on her quizzes, which are unannounced, free-response (not multiple choice) quizzes given once per week. They are hard to score well on if you don't know the assigned reading inside and out, so you have to know the material well before coming to class. Other parts of your grade include participation, two in-class essays, a verbal midterm, and the final exam which include multiple choice and short-answers questions. The class is very discussion-based, so she doesn't write much down on the whiteboard, which can make note-taking difficult sometimes. However, she'll often mention a "big theme" of whatever work the class is discussing, and this is what you need to jot down in your notes. Overall a tough class to get the hang of, and of course you need to be half-decent at writing for the in-class essays, but as long as you are willing to put in the work on reading assignments, you can definitely do well. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIC - ABSOLUTE BEST PROFESSOR IN THE ENTIRE BIC PROGRAM. Your experience will be incomplete if you do not take his class!! Explains the content very well, is engaging, and is not unreasonable in his expectations. Grades fairly and if you put in the work as is required of any BIC class you will be fine! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIC - Dr. Cann is a nice lady but I do not recommend you take her class. Also somehow a lot of her original comments have been taken down (so I guess only the best and worst comments are left). First off, she does not really teach a lot of content well in my opinion, and has a tendency to make everything about her. I think I learned more about her personal life and hobbies in class than actual content, which is very unhelpful for the exams because somehow those end up being open ended and related to very niche content that was only discussed briefly. For any BIC class there will be a good amount of workload, but Dr. Cann barely teaches anything. I had at least half of my class show up not having done the readings but somehow it seemed like she also didn’t really have a clue what was going on. Last thing, Cann is unfortunate very well known to have favorites (usually the oversharers). She also is a little biased in my opinion, and dislikes the opinions of students who are politically opposed to her views. She always is unprofessional in class, is unprepared in teaching material and kind of talks about academia as an extension of her life experiences. We are currently learning very little curriculum and I wish I could have chosen somebody else. please steer clear, this class is honestly a guessing game half the time and you will be better prepared for success elsewhere. I took her class thinking wow okay she went to harvard but was sadly mistaken by the lack of learning done in this class. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: World Cultures - Never had a worse professor. She encourages students not to write bad reviews on BU books but it’s like if you have to tell students that maybe there’s a bigger issue. Great person, not very helpful professor. Grades very harshly and teaches very little content. - Grade In Class:DROP

Opinion: 3320 - Professor Joyce is by far my favorite professor here at Baylor!! She deeply cares about the well being of her students and she is so passionate about teaching! Her class is super well structured and she has some quizzes and two exams during the semester. She's super available whenever you have a question or need help on a project. Take her!! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2306 - Dr. Burris is an interesting man, to say the least. He teaches only Greek Myths for a class called Greek & Roman Mythology. He'll make snide comments about the students from time to time, and in general seems a little overconfident. If you can get over his personality, you'll learn a lot, but his daily quizzes are a pain just because he sometimes picks an insignificant detail. His exams/quizzes are spelling-specific, so you need to know how it's spelled exactly for free response. It is a reading-heavy class. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1408 - This dude is flat out the worst professor I've ever had at this school. His slides are horrible, his syllabus changes under his discretion. All his tests are online and 24hr take home, but if you take ever too short on a question, he immediately meets with you and if he doesn't deem your meeting good, you cheated. Add that onto the tests being 30 questions long, so he expects you to take close to 8hrs on the tests. There is also weekly HW sets that are the same workload as the tests. I thought this class would be fine due to it being a lot online, DO NOT fall for it like I did. Avoid this guy at all costs - Grade In Class:C

Opinion: 3308 - This is a complex class. Dr. Dao is a very sweet lady; she's very passionate about her job, but she teaches an undergraduate class with the assumption that we're all graduate students. Her class is lecture-heavy; you'll have 4 exams, roughly 6 quizzes, and 3 projects that will eat up your Pawprints budget. I did have to fight to get a B in this class just because her timing for exams isn't great, often following directly after breaks. You'll need to constantly be studying for her class. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: 4360 - Wu is a great professor. The class is structured by homework, quizzes, and exams. A group project at the end of the course as well. The problems are the same from lectures to homework to quizzes to tests. You know exactly what you are going to get, and it is up to you to prepare. The class is predictable you just have to put in the time and effort and you will do well. I think you could spend 4 hours a week outside of class and be successful. I would definitely take Wu again. Breaks down topics well and conducts her class well. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: WGS 2300 - Dr. Shaver is uncooperative and unapproachable. She talks over people in class, and if you don't agree with her teachings, she basically will tell you your opinions/standpoint are wrong and won't discuss it educationally. Her class isn't hard, and it's very easy to get an A in as long as you study. There are quizzes before every class that are usually 8-15 questions over the readings. There are a lot of readings before every class, but not unmanageable. The in-class discussions are interesting, and I enjoyed the material in the class. There are also a couple of projects with written essays. There are 3 exams and a final. The exams are a mix of multiple-choice and written questions. Dr. Shaver is angry about most topics and seems to have a negative outlook on life, which makes it difficult to have any discussion with her. While she claims to be a feminist, she drags men down very often and has also been very passive-aggressive to the women in our class. This class was disappointing because I feel like the ideas of feminism and the strengths and accomplishments of women can be discussed through a Christian perspective without having to hate on men. - Grade In Class:A
