1. Rating on David Reid in the Business Law department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: BL 3305 - Dr. Reid is definitely the best professor at Baylor. He knows how to break down complex concepts into pieces to help you understand, and he actually wants you to succeed in this class. He’s so nice that he remembers everyone’s name and says hi to you every time he sees you in Foster. I’m so sad that I could only take his class once. He also gives everyone a little gift at the end of the semester, which is so thoughtful. Just take him!!! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-12-18
2. Rating on Anthony Lapes in the Business department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: BUS 1350 - TAKE HIM!!!! The subject is boring by nature, but he actually makes the class not boring at all, and it’s pretty fun most of the time. His exams are not hard either. As long as you understand the concepts and know how to use basic Excel skills, you’ll be totally fine. He knows everyone’s name and is always willing to do everything he can to help you succeed in this class. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-12-18
3. Rating on Andrew Clayton in the Political Science department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: PSC 1387 - If you're looking at this guy's reviews, I know it looks bad. Believe me I thought the same thing. This is a mandated gen-ed class for everyone at Baylor (even if you're a USchol or Business Fellows), and he teaches it as a massive lecture in Bennett Auditorium. I came in having taken AP Gov in High School, so if you're in that boat as well, a lot of this will be review and honestly pretty easy (for reference, Baylor accepts AP Gov for credit, but won't let that clear this particular course). The class consists of 3 exams + the final, along with weekly quizzes on the readings (and you can count on him giving one every week). The readings will vary in length, some can be short (sorta) while others can be super long (like really long). Make sure to do the readings since the weekly quizzes will harp on some pretty obscure stuff that you'd only really know if you actually read (he'll drop 2 quizzes at the end of the semester). To be fair, he does these quizzes to make sure you actually read (and it kinda works), though I definitely understand and relate to this being annoying (and it was). But honestly, the people who did bad in the class and rag on him just didn't do the any reading at all. Like yes, it's a lot at times. But even if you just do a really rough skim of it, you'll be way better off then winging it on the quiz. Using Chat GPT (or any AI for that matter) didn't really help much since the quizzes focus on such niche concepts, but it did help in explaining the readings (which in turn helps you sort of guess what really specific concepts he'll test you on). There's also only like 10-12 questions on each quiz, so getting a few wrong is super costly. However, the saving grace to this is that he floors the quizzes at 50% (which functions sort of like a curve. If you got a 7/8, you're grade ends up being 7/7.2). This is huge since you don't gotta get everything right every time, just most of it. So if you're anti doing the readings (understandably so) but don't wanna be a bum and get a C, the trick is to rough read enough to not necessarily to nail 100s, but get enough correct to maximize the quiz flooring so it'll cover the rest. He'll also go over the quiz right after collecting them, so you'll know right then if you did well or not. During class, he mandates written notes, but he'll allow iPad + Apple Pencil. The quizzes and exams are all just MCQs on a Scantron. However, despite the debatable teaching style, he definitely knows his stuff! GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS!! He's available for lots of times to meet with students and he genuinely enjoys answering questions and getting to know you. After having gone to his office hours a few times, I've grown to believe he explains things better when it's 1:1 rather than in a massive lecture hall to 200+ people (especially on topics when you go in with no understanding). On another note, he's a very strong Christian. He starts every class off with a prayer, and before the final, he prays for every single one of his students by name (and again, there was over 200 people in just my section alone). So honestly, would I recommend picking him if other people were available? Ehh depends on your schedule. Just know that if you end up having to take him, you're not cooked!! Is it more work than it probably should be, yeah definitely. But if you just put in a little bit more of effort (and I mean just a little bit), then you'll walk away just fine. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-12-17
4. Rating on Ron Morgan in the Mathematics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: MTH 2311 / MTH 3324 - I took Dr. Morgan for both Linear Algebra and Numerical Methods and ended with a B in both classes. I would say his exams are generally fair, but you really have to be prepared for the material he goes through in class. Dr. Morgan clearly understands math and programming extremely well, and he does research in difficult areas of linear algebra. That being said, he struggles to explain things in simple terms. A lot of the lectures felt very abstract, and many times he focused on theory that didn’t seem that important for exams. He also spends a decent amount of time talking about his day or personal life, which can be frustrating when the material itself is already hard. For Linear Algebra, there is a lot of homework. Usually it’s 5–10 practice problems plus around 20 quick theory questions. On exams, he would often pick very specific or niche topics from the homework, and many of the proofs felt random and hard to prepare for because they weren’t emphasized much in lecture. Numerical Methods was a bit better. There was much less homework, and he would usually tell you which proofs were on the exam (though there weren’t many proofs to begin with). Because of the lighter workload, you can often guess what quizzes will be over, but it can still feel like a toss up at times. Two important bonuses, homework is 100% optional, he will drop 2/3 quizzes, and he will replace your lowest exam grade with the final if it's higher. (dropped 3 for linear, 2 for numerical) Overall, his classes aren’t terrible, but they can be really frustrating. Quizzes and exams sometimes focus on topics that were only briefly mentioned in class. However, you will be fine. Dr. Morgan is a great guy and if you go into his office hours, he will likely hint at what the quiz will be over. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2025-12-17
5. Rating on Eva Doyle in the Human Performance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 4340 - take. her. for this course there were zero quizzes and zero homework and based on one big group final project, one mid term, a final exam, and a small mid semester 5 minute presentation. she is genuinely passionate about her field of study and has so much experience that she is willing to share with her class. i had a very personal and deep conversation with her where we both ended teary eyed and hugged at the end of our conversation. she is one of the few baylor professors who i feel comfortable talking about anything with. - Grade In Class:B+ Date Listed: 2025-12-17
6. Rating on Kaitlin Phillips in the Communication Studies department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3311 - Dr. Phillips as a professor is great, she clearly knows what shes talking about and is very helpful when you have questions. Though, I took this course as an elective and if you’re thinking about it.. don’t. the workload is CRAZY and SO MUCH that it will disturb you from your required courses. there were no exams but the McGraws would take over 2 hours to complete and there 2 assigned weekly that if not completed result in an overall fail of the coure. the whole semester you work on a 10-annotations bibliography that she grades very harshly. her classes also get very repetitive and boring, especially if your class is not engaging or don’t have any friends in the class since there is so much group discussion. again, as a person shes wonderful it might just be the subject thats very annoying. - Grade In Class:B+ Date Listed: 2025-12-17
7. Rating on Louise Powell in the English department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: ENG 1310 - I found Dr. Powell to be such a fun professor. She gave so much extra credit it would be hard not to get an A if you put effort in. She also gave a quiz and discussion post assignment every week along with the midterm and final. She prepares you well if you listen and pay attention she’ll give away answers. I would highly recommend her class, it was fun and not too hard!! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-12-17
8. Rating on Jenny Robins in the Educational Psychology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: EDP 2336 - All I can say is: take this class!! By far one of my favorite classes yet and an even better professor. She is the kindest and most humorous professor I've had. The class overall is fairly easy and extremely interesting. I recommend reading the textbook assigned and taking notes, even though it takes a lot of time, because it helps you on exams that are either open note or not. Most of your grade comes from group discussions and class activities as well as the occasional project. Dr. Robins makes this class so much fun and such a good break in your day. I recommend!!! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-12-17
9. Rating on Moon Kwan Chae in the Religion department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: REL 1310 - Dr. Chae is the most understanding, kindhearted, and helpful professor. His office hours are most helpful when it comes to exams and he really appreciates it if you utilize that. Sometimes the work load seems like a lot with all the reading but he gives quizzes that are due before every class period that can help boost your grade. His tests can be tricky but if you review his slides then you should be set. I would totally recommend taking Dr. Chae if you have the opportunity. I know so much more about the Bible than I ever did before due to him and his lectures. - Grade In Class:B+ Date Listed: 2025-12-17
10. Rating on Sam Parler in the Music department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: MUS 3323 - Dr. Parler's class was super fun and engaging. I went into it knowing nothing about jazz music and came out knowing so much. His lectures are super intriguing and if you study and take notes on those then you will do well on his weekly quizzes and assignments. I will say there are some essays you have to write but if you use your notes and critical listening skills then you will be good. I also went into this class just wanting my fine arts credit but I am now super grateful that that's the class I chose to take. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-12-17
