Opinion: 1309 - Do not take this guy. Not helpful at all and does not care about any situation you may be in. Tests will not be similar to lectures or HW so good luck. Take any other professor but not this guy. - Grade In Class:C

Opinion: ENG 2310 - I took Dr. Fulton's ENG 2310 course online over the summer to complete the remainder of my common core class credits. I thought his class was very insightful, with an easy workload for a summer course. His class consists of weekly readings, along with a few discussion boards that are due every Sunday, giving students plenty of time throughout the week. A few written quizzes, an essay, a reading notebook you must complete over the course of the semester, and two take-home tests to do online. His recorded lectures are very helpful and give students a better understanding of the weekly readings. When turning in an assignment such as a quiz or test, Dr Fultun does a great job giving students feedback on what they could do to get a higher grade next time. As for the textbooks/readings required for this course, Dr. Fulton takes into account students' spending, so he always provides affordable textbooks/readings to use for the course. All in all, I would highly recommend this professor if you're looking for an online summer course. Very helpful and kind, moderate to easy workload. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: PSC 1387 - Do not take his class. I studied every single day,wrote down every single word he said in the lectures, read all the readings and the test was open note and I still got a B. He words his questions in a way set up for you to fail, anytime I emailed him he would respond "read more carefully", he doesn't teach, just talks at you. Most frustrating and worst class I have taken at Baylor. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: 2321 - I had Professor Hur for SPA 2321 and she was super helpful. Her syllabus seemed very strict on things like attendance policies, participation, etc, but she is honestly pretty lenient with most things. She was super helpful in understanding the vocabulary as well as conjugations and the actual structure of the Spanish language. The only annoying thing about the class is there is a decent amount of studying since it is primarily vocabulary based, so keep that in mind. I would totally recommend Professor Hur! - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: Summer Online- PSC 3322 - TAKE. THIS. SUMMER. COURSE. Easiest A I have ever gotten, and I barely did anything. There's video lectures, I never watched them. There's a textbook, I never read it. There's 12 quizzes but they aren't on lockdown browser. The two tests are on lockdown browser with a logn time limit and I got 95+ on both. One 5 page paper I wrote in a day and got 98, one 10 page paper I wrote in 2 days and knew it wasn't great and got a 95. Seriously, this was the easiest summer class imaginable. If you watch all the lectures and do the reading I imagine the workload would feel like a lot tho. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3325 - For Ordinary Differential Equations (MTH 3325), Professor Sheng's class was very manageable. He might not be very clear in what he is saying during the lecture sometimes, but I wouldn't say he can't teach. In terms of workload and exams, when I took it in Fall 2024, almost half of the grade weight was from homework assignments (graded for accuracy), and then the rest was from exams. For homework assignments, you would get one every week, so it wasn't overloading, but you wanted to make sure you had the right answers. Now for the exams. The exams were all open-note, so that helped a lot in terms of not having to memorize certain formulas, methods, and whatnot, and he does curve exams to get the average up if it was lower than he liked (most exams were curved a bit). Maybe he changed the way he does exams now, but that is how it was in Fall 2024. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1307 - ONLINE For five weeks, you have to do one paper, one infographic, one policy memo, eight lecture responses and five reading responses. I’ll get to the final in a minute. PLUSSES: readings are short and you don’t have to buy anything; lectures are all 30-35 minutes; he covers a lot of places so you get a good sense of the world progressing to 1914; simulation activity was fun and shorter than expected; you get to do a survey at the start and choose the countries for your reading responses; MINUSES: course theme is empire, so if you don’t like that, you’re stuck; the big one is the final exam. You have to do an essay, and even though you have three topics to choose from, he expects you to provide a thorough overview of the whole course. That would be fine, except you can get an A- on the lecture responses by only skimming the lecture. If he wants thorough viewing for the final, he should make it so you have to watch thoroughly the whole way. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 4341 - Allow me to preface: I was beyond scared having read through these reviews before the first day of class. But, I can say after taking the course that it was my FAVORITE class I have taken at Baylor so far. Yes, it is a fast-paced class that requires serious time management skills and hard work (whether watching lecture videos, taking notes, preparing for daily in-class quizzes, or studying for exams) in order to get an A. Yes, it can be overwhelming, as he covers an abundance of information over short periods of time. But, it indeed was SUCH a helpful class. I never walked away from a lesson wondering what is the point of me taking this class (*cough *cough genetics and ochem for me). Also, his class is not ochem heavy at all. I did not do very well in ochem and that had no impact on my performance in this class. Taking Cell and Molec before this class was also superrr beneficial (it is just a deeper version of it imo). I think the flipped classroom was great, as I could put his lectures on 1.5x speed and pause them and rewatch parts with ease when I needed to. Also, his EOC (end-of-class quizzes) held me accountable for the material - I never felt like I was scrambling to study before the exams. I already knew most of the material from studying for the quizzes. I never thought his exams were outrageously difficult, only at times very speicifc. Quizlets and whiteboards were my best friends that semester. I also rewrote important concepts in the lectures and made charts/grafts to organize material in a way that I better understood and could visualize. Overall, I do not know if I would encourage EVERYONE to take him over the other prof (the woman who is supposedly easier), but I will say this class shouldn't be feared. All of his quizzes/exams are MC. He offers extra credit points through various assignments, and his final is not bad at all. Bank points and do not underestimate how valuable the EOC and RS quizzes can be in boosting your grade. Memorize the slides, understand the concepts at hand, and you will do JUST FINE. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: HIST 1300 - To start, this has been the most impactful class I've taken at Baylor. The coursework was challenging but rewarding, and if you have a passion for the environment or hunting the knowledge that you gain will be unique to any other class - it has truly changed the way I think about and approach modern society. However, this knowledge only comes from the deliberate attempts to learn. The amount of time I had to pour into this class took me by surprise, and halfway through the semester I considered dropping it (I had a C+). The reading was broad, but the quizzes over the reading were specific and required detailed note taking to do well. The nice thing about his class is that everything is cumulative, meaning quizzes pull from questions the week before. He follows the same format for the midterm and final, so if you study past quizzes, you will do very well. He grades papers firm but fair and offers corrective feedback. Overall, this class will be a challenge. It will require you to work hard, and there is no secret to success. If you are considering taking this course, do not be frightened by the other reviews. The semester WILL start rocky; that is inevitable. But if you stay committed, your grade will 180. If you are passionate about hunting, this class will benefit you greatly. If you are not passionate about hunting, the class will still benefit you greatly. Also, make a Quizlet for quiz questions, it's a lifesaver. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIO 1305 - Professor Lee is a very nice man, and he seems like he genuinely cares about his students. However, he has a very thick Korean accent which can make it difficult to understand, which was definitely the case for me, as this was my first class at Baylor. He has four tests throughout the year which are all multiple choice, except for some short answers which he will tell you what to know for those, and the final exam is not cumulative. He drops the lowest exam, which was very helpful. I only learned towards the second half of the semester that he takes a lot of questions straight from the pearson homework, so I would definitely make sure that you know that stuff well. The class isn't too difficult if you put in the time to go over the slides, study the things he tells you to study, and do the homework and memorize the answers for the tests. If you are looking for a relatively straightforward class, then I would take him, but if you are looking to actually learn in his class and be prepared for the MCAT, I would not recommend. - Grade In Class:A
