Opinion: BIO 1306 - Don't take her unless you devote a lot of time to memorizing and learning on your own. Her classes are so unstructured and you never know what you're covering. She barely communicates with the class (never sends announcements). When canvas was down and the final was moved, she maybe sent 2 emails. She makes you feel like a burden when you go to her office hours. Her tests are hard and requires you to memorize all of her slides and beyond. She doesnt use chapters which makes it even harder to organize the info you're learning. One of the worse parts was that you had to pay about 40 dollars for Codon which we didn't even use for the semester. So there goes 40 bucks. I honestly cant think of anything good about the class except that she doesnt take attendance. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1408/1409 - I took Vasut for both 1408/1409, not my best decision. He doesn't teach very well, you definitely have to put in the time to teach yourself everything so beware if you take it with an ochem, h-phys or any other hard, time-consuming class. There are 4 exams plus a final, there are no drops, but you can retake any of the exams (except the final). He also doesn't give you back your final grade, so you don't know what you make in the class unless you go to his office, and he won't respond to emails after the final. My best advice is to buy the pearson+ textbook and stay on top of the chapters, watch the videos, and do the misconceptual questions and homework practice problems because he will pull from those on the actual exams. The retake options are pretty difficult, they are all multiple choice, and typically more conceptual than the original exam, he takes the average of the two exams so make sure to study for the retake (you have a week after he gives back the exam grades, which usually only takes him like two days- he is a very fast grader). - Grade In Class:C+

Opinion: 1387 - He is a really nice guy and is a great professor to go to office hours with questions. The class layout is basically 3-4 court case readings/other poly sci readings, per class period, and then a quiz typically every other week, but towards the end of the semester he will have them basically every class period to try to bump your grade up. All of the quizzes are open note and are like 5-8 questions typically, so make sure to take good notes because these are easy points. He doesn't let anyone use computers, so its ipads flat on the desk or paper, and handwritten notes only. There are three exams, follow the study guides, they are actually so helpful, I wish i followed them instead of going back and rereading the cases! Then the final which is super easy, i got a 100%, again follow the study guide, you probably need like 1 day to review and you should be good. My overall advice, do well on the quizzes, study the study guides a week in advance because there's a good amount of information from the cases, and get a study buddy to review cases and the final. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: PSC 1387 - She only lectures and does not use PowerPoints, so it can be hard to follow at times, but it also forces you to pay attention. Be prepared for frequent pop quizzes. That being said, she drops several grades, and even without doing most of the readings I was still able to finish the class with an A. She also offers extra credit for completing course evaluations and allows a cheat sheet on the final. I wrote down all of the amendments and a few major Supreme Court cases and that was enough to do well - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: REL 1310 - Dr. Chae is so sweet! He makes the class very approachable whether you are religious or not. There are short quizzes before each class that cannot be made up, but they are only five questions so they are not too bad. He does cold call people to read Bible verses, so be prepared for that. There are about four group debates that require some preparation, but honestly he mostly just wants to see participation. His lectures were funny, easy to follow, and the PowerPoints supplemented them well. I got the dates for my finals mixed up with another class and overslept, which caused me to miss the final, and he still let me take it in his office with no penalty. Overall, he is a really nice guy and a very understanding professor - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 2306 - I think this was my favorite professor this semester. Dr. Lopez is such a good lecturer and I never got bored in his classes. The practice problems in class were always really fun and his LAs were really helpful if you didn't understand something. He is so kind and approachable too, and will basically drop everything to help you. The exams are tough at first, but once you get a feel for how they work they get better. Be prepared to APPLY concepts, not just recite them. Also make sure to have your enzymes/proteins/mechanisms/etc. down. THE MOST important thing is just learning to do this fast. The questions really aren't that bad, but you don't have a lot of time to complete them. But our class was only 50 minutes, and he said he worries that too short of a test will make it super easy to fail, and I can understand that. If you are a premed I think this is a great professor to take, the tests are tough but I think it'll prepare you more for the MCAT. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1321 - MTH 1321 - Rosengartner is not exactly the greatest teacher. He didn't explain things very well at all so I kind of checked out the entire time. The homework is usually a lot harder than the quizzes. He is very kind and always available for office hours. He is also really easy to work with if you have a conflict and need to reschedule exams or quizzes. If you are good at math take him because it will be an easy A, however if you don't know calculus at all I do not recommend as he isn't exactly the greatest teacher. He is really helpful and a sweet guy and tries to make class as fun and chill as possible though. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1300 - HIS 1300 - This class was probably one of my favorite classes I have ever taken in my life. I learned soooooo much in this class, and actually looked forward to it which is impressive considering it was an 8 am. However, missing class is not an option and there is not really any work, so your grade is all exam based. It is challening to get a good grade in this class. If you are looking for an easy A for a gen ed class, do not take smith. Half of my class dropped after the first exam. However, if you actually want to learn something useful, take him. He's an excellent lecturer and has a lot to offer if you aren't afraid to ask questions. This class did ruin my perfect 4.0 which is annoying but whatever. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: REL1310 - I really enjoyed this class. Dr. Dunbar clearly knows her stuff and we had some really interesting group discussions. I feel like this was not a hard class to get an A in either if you put in a regular amount of effort. Just submit the work on time, participate in class, and you're good. Showing up for the the quizzes was important, but she gave us ample warnings for each one and what pages to study. I noticed a lot of students who complained about her put in very little effort and were often pretty rude. They often had headphones in while she was lecturing, or would outright disrespect her to her face. Dr. Dunbar would still remain kind and refrain from any kind of harsh censure, but some of the behavior exhibited by these students kinda shocked me. A lot of students critisize her for being progressive, which I think is silly, but regardless she always had a very gentle way of leading the conversations and I never once saw her "scold" a student for what they said - and they said some wild stuff. I feel like the class would have been a lot more fun for them if they didn't try to pick a fight with the professor. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1310 - Prof Chorn is fantasic. She makes the class really easy to understand and everything is very clear grade wise. This was a really easy class. Some of the work is kind of just busy work but oh well. She is very available and really kind with extensions or needing extra help or adjustments. TAKE HER - Grade In Class:A
