Opinion: 3340 - I liked Bridge and really enjoyed his teaching style. He is very lively when he lectures so he is fun to listen to. I have never been so engaged in a lecture. His slides do not have a lot of information so you do need to pay attention and take good notes. One thing I noticed about his exams is that some questions will be more of his opinion, or so I felt. Paying attention in class is crucial because you may not necessarily agree with the answer to the question. However, he does make paying attention easy. I do have to agree with past posts that he can be passive aggressive. He is a funny guy but he is also super sassy, especially when asking for help. I think it is part of his personality but it makes getting help from him hard because he seems a little unapproachable. However, he is a nice guy and jokes around with students so it is nothing to worry about. As for work, we had three essays, and two were in class. His prompts are broad but he seems strict on what he wants in a response, which is hard with such broad prompts. I actually did really appreciate him though because he wants every student to succeed. As passive aggressive as he seems, he does what he can to make sure students do not fail and receive good grades. There were a few times where he let us redo assignments for better grades, which was so nice of him. I did not expect to succeed in this course at one point, so I am happy he gave us so much grace. He is a funny guy and fun to listen to him speak. I would recommend him and I am honestly sure he would be even easier for 1387. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: LING 3310 - Such an incredible professor and so joyful to listen to. I always looked forward to class. She would always have us laughing and had such a fun way of teaching, so it was such an engaging course. I seriously cannot recommend her enough. I can confidently say she wants every student to pass. Her exams were straight forward. It was a lot of memorization but she gives you all the material beforehand. She also makes class fun with activities so lectures are never boring. She is always around too. She would offer her personal phone number if needed, and was always willing to help/explain confusing subject matter. The workload was so light too. We had these "mini projects" that took maybe 10 minutes and were all due at the end of the semester. There was like 13, but we only had to do nine. We also had to do presentations but these were so easy and you could present on what you wanted. Literally the easiest A and I enjoyed doing this as someone who HATES public speaking. All the work we did was applicable to the course and helped grow understanding. All in all, a great professor. PLEASE take her. She is such a joy and wants everyone to succeed. I think it is impossible to not get an A in this class. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3301 - I heavily disagree with the review below. This class was so easy and Vanderslice was a great professor. Literally so easy for an online marketing class. Work load was the same every week with a module, quiz, and discussion post that took no more than 10 minutes. Sometimes you would need to respond to peers but it was light work. Mid term and final were both presentations where you pick a brand and analyze it with 10-13 slides, which she provides FULL guidance for. You do not even need to present it. This class is the easiest A ever and it is difficult to get anything below it. She provides weekly lecture videos and slide that clearly explain the subject matter and everything is so straight forward. Would highly recommend because this class was an easy A. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 4341 - I would recommend anyone to take Dr. Lahousse for biochem!! She is super approachable, friendly, and wants all her students to do their best in the class. You have 4 Exams, Final, Quizzes, and homework for your grade. You can replace your lowest unit exam score with your final exam score, and typically, the final exam averages are excellent. It is a class in which you have to put in a lot of work, and Dr. Lahousse provides the needed guidance and direction in order for you to excel in the class. The class is tough, and sometimes exams can be a little tricky, considering the time crunch aspect of only having 50 minutes, but with plenty of extra credit and the final, getting an A is a doable task. Also, Dr. Lahousse herself is really friendly in her office hours and will never shame you for anything. She always encourages her students and beleives that they are capable of improving and seeing growth. Highly recommend her, especially for a challenging course like this one. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1301 - This is a very hard class honestly. I struggled a lot but Dr. K is a very kind man and very understanding. I had two traumatic life events while I was taking his course and by being honest with him while also doing the best I could to pass he curved me at the end of the semester. I tried the hardest I could to succeed and worked very hard but the tests felt impossible being someone with very little background in chem. if you already know chem well take him and most definitely take advantage of office hours. Yes his course is hard but he is a very understanding professor and wants you to succeed!! - Grade In Class:C

Opinion: 3355 - Crazy how smart Dr. Wisely is. He came off as a little awkward at times, but he’s genuinely interested in hearing students’ thoughts and helping them succeed. Sure, if no one talks in class, it would be filled with silence, because he’s not going to sit there and yap the whole time, but it’s great learning to express more complex ideas in another language. Exams were matching/multiple choice questions followed by a take home essay; final was a paper. Honestly the workload wasn’t as bad as I expected for an upper level language class. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: SPA 1301 - I took her for lab and she was actually the best! She forced participation in class, which as someone that gets embarrassed to speak Spanish, was great. She cold calls and always makes lab really engaging and fun! - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: A- - The class was fairly easy when it came to understanding the topics being taught, she can be really understanding when it comes to deadlines, and grading. Her exams are fair game, I think most of the class found it hard but other than the exam, she is a sweetheart. She brought treats for everyone during exams, and I think that really sums her up. If this is your first interaction with micro and you need everything explained well, she might not be for you, but if you can over see the casual slip up that will be avoided in due time, then she is the right professor for you. I can see her being one of the best micro teachers in a few years. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 4319 - Despite my grade, I did not enjoy this class. This was Dr. Phillips’ first time teaching Clinical Neuroscience, but she was boring, frequently read from the slides, and when we would ask questions, she was often unable to provide an actual answer, often saying that she would need to look into the topic further. There were three exams and a cumulative final including unit 4 material. No drops or extra credit provided. Exams covered an excessive amount of material. The pace of the course was extremely fast, approximately one chapter every two class periods. While this might have been manageable if exams were primarily based on lecture content, all textbook material was considered fair game, even if it was not discussed in class. One exam alone covered eight chapters. Study guides were provided but offered little help, as all content was testable. Exam questions were highly detailed and specific (including the final), making it difficult to gauge what concepts we should focus on. The learning objectives are not representative of the tested material. Overall, I did not feel that the teaching supported effective student learning. - Grade In Class:A
