Opinion: 1407 - I literally loved. Loved. LOVED. Dr. Ferraro and his class. As an anthropology major who's looking to go into bioarchaeology, I thrived in his class. Some people complain he talks fast, but I think thats to each their own. If you can't keep up with faster-paced speakers, you simply won't do as well in college and lecture-settings. Lab was so so fun, I had Lyndsay and she was the greatest, but I know the other lab professors are all super awesome as well. This class definitely prepared me for going on the SGARP Baylor Archaeological Study Abroad trip (you should all go!) in Italy. It was fun, it taught me things, and it made me so excited for my future career! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1324 - Where do I start? I took her class here at Baylor, and then I proceeded to go across the word and dig up Etruscan and medieval Roman remains with this woman in Italy. She is an incredible professor. She truly cares about her students, and even after you leave her classes, she will always give you a wave, a smile, or ask you how you're doing in the halls if she's not in a rush from one classroom to the next (because we all know she doesn't run on Italian time). I would recommend her to every student, she makes every class enjoyable and you definitely learn something in her lectures. Cannot understate how much I love Dr. Mrs. Zori. CZ is the bomb! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1301 - I thought she was a fine enough teacher... until I got into 1302 and got Tiziano and Boscoleo. I wouldn't recommend taking Prof K for Italian 1301 if you have another option because she doesn't teach the subject as well. I don't know how to describe it, but even just the two week long review we had of past subjects we did in 1302 helped me fully understand the concepts I was struggling with for MONTHS in 1301. She didn't offer test reviews before exams like Tiziano does (which are true blessings I love that man) so exams were definitely much harder in that class than they are in 1302. It's almost like 1302 is a walk in the park compared to 1301--I'm getting 100s or 99s in 1302 compared to 1301 where I was getting low 90s and struggling without assistance. She would call on the people who were really and truly struggling, and she wouldn't let anyone save them or help them, just staring with a little smile on her face and waiting patiently, as if they would come up with the answer on their own, despite them not knowing it (like, I admit it was their own fault for never studying, but come on, throw them a bone and give them some mercy). For lab it was always online, which is great if you don't want to actually be present and pay attention, even though she makes you keep your camera on. But this was actually a negative for me, because I would get distracted, and I don't think I got everything out of lab I could have. I much prefer in-person lab that I get now, because we play games and get snacks and just in general love Boscoleo. I would def recommend those two professors over Prof. K. Live laugh love Italian! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: MKT 3330 - Roberts may be one of the least helpful and incompetent teachers ever. He says that he'll post lectures if he's missing class a day and never does. Also his tests are not from his lectures at all so what is the point of even paying any attention to his lectures. All the test material comes from the book which is $190 by the way and is really hard for a college student to afford. Do not take him, truthfully one of the worst professors I've had at Baylor. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: PHI 3301 - Very shocked at the other ratings. Dr. Reed was a phenomenal teacher and the class isn't difficult at all! If you do the readings and take good notes, you're honestly set to do very well in his class. He is a harsh grader when it comes to literature reviews, but again, if you do what's expected you'll pass. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: Germany in The Making - I do not understand why she has a good rating. Do not take this class if you are not a minor, really good at history, or in the BIC. Took this to fill my last language requirement and was told it was about culture (and was an easy A), IT IS NOT. She can not teach, reads from outdated slides. She never responded to multiple emails. Quizzes every class over 30+ pages of reading asking for the most obscure detail. Tests are way too hard. This should not even be offered as a way to fill a language requirement because its truly a history class. Shame on Baylor for removing the special language programs, and for ever suggesting this as an alternative to me. From someone who has never gotten lower than an A- in all of college. - Grade In Class:C+

Opinion: 1300 - I took this course online because I did not want to go into the classroom every day. What was supposed to be an easy online class became my worst nightmare. There is no reason for a 1000-level required class to be this difficult. There are reading reflections and lecture refections due every week which are not too difficult if you know EXACTLY what she is looking for. Also, her tests are only short answers/essays - there is no multiple choice. I would not recommend taking this class to anyone because what is supposed to help you GPA just ends up hurting it. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: 1305 - This class is an absolute joke. She goes over the slides so insanely fast. We have about 30 quizzes that are all due on the same day sometime in May, so unless you do them all before the due date, you won't remember. Her study guides barely cover what's on the exam and her notes aren't coexisting with the study guides. She leaves things off. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 1300 - I feel conflicted about what I'm about to say since this professor is genuinely amazing. I chose to take his class because of his great reviews, and while I tried to give it a fair chance, I found the class to be more stressful than I expected for a core class. He’s a good professor, and his lectures are mostly engaging. The exams, which were online with a lockdown browser but no webcam, were somewhat manageable. However, what really stressed me out were the weekly textbook reading quizzes. Each week’s reading assignment was around 60 pages, and the quizzes afterward were only 10 minutes long with 10 multiple-choice questions. As someone with poor reading comprehension, I struggled to get through the readings, especially since it was history material. On top of that, there were three full book reviews, each worth 10% of the final grade, totaling 30%. The expectations for these papers were unusually high, which made the workload feel overwhelming. I was also dealing with personal issues that affected my academic performance, which likely contributed to my struggles, but honestly, it was a lot to manage. If you're able to handle the heavy workload, enjoy reading, and have strong reading comprehension skills, you’ll likely do well and enjoy the class. The professor is genuinely kind and supportive, but for me, it was just too much. - Grade In Class:DROP
