Opinion: JOU 2303 - Prof. Dietz is one of those professors that you happen to register for their class and can't help but feel like you've won the college professor lottery. She's so incredibly laid-back but also so well-versed in her craft, her feedback is excellent and genuinely has made me a better writer. She typically teaches one class per semester, so if you have the opportunity to take her for either 2303 or 3372, do it. I cannot say enough good things. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1302 - Genuinely one of the most free classes ever. Your grade is mostly speeches that you have tons of time to prepare for, plus some super easy quizzes and activities. She's pretty lenient with grading and super nice, but she does track attendance, so just show up. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2310 - The GOAT!!!! TAKE HUMPHREYS!! She's super nice and passionate about English literature, and clearly knowledgeable about her authors. Unlike other english classes, she teaches using short stories instead of novels, so the readings are usually pretty short, and we cover a lot of ground, which prevents the class from being super boring. She holds exam reviews, where she literally gives you every question on the next exam, and as long as you know those answers (just pay attention during class, she will literally tell you what will be on the exam during lectures), it's a free A. The final project is super easy as well. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2303 - Existentialism: Where to start... Firstly, an A in his class is a 95, which I managed to get, but looking at the average scores for assignments, it didn't seem like everyone got it. About half of your grade is based on 4 in-class essays about previous writings, about 40% participation, and about 10% a presentation you do sometime during the year about a chosen author and work. Now about the workload: the readings that Dr Gentry expects you to do are definitely very, very long and hard. We covered works by Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, de Beauvoir, Heidegger, Hegel, and CS Lewis, with some movies by Christopher Nolan and Terrence Malick by the end of the course. Lots of the actual philosophical readings were incredibly hard to read and understand without summaries and paraphrasing, and Dr Gentry somehow expects you to understand at least most of it by the time you get to class. He'll literally sit there, ask the class what their thoughts were on the reading, and ask some guiding questions as the students talk. He did teach us some basic philosophical theories a few times just so some arguments could make sense, but overall, this is a 90% discussion-based class, which sucks if you're not one of the 2-4 students who do most of the talking. Back to the readings, but he expects you to read before each class, except when we read the 2 Dostoevsky novels and the CS Lewis novel. However, even if he gives you 2 weeks to read Crime and Punishment, he expects it to be fully read by the end of the first week, so you can discuss the whole novel for a full week. Keep in mind Crime and Punishment is like 500 pages... Anyways, the workload is crazy high for a 2000-level class, but the grading is overall easy, so take it if you like to read, I guess. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3238 - A couple things: I was involved in a research lab before taking this class, so a lot of the lab stuff I was already familiar with. The B+ is because I forgot to turn in an assignment, but overall, an A should be doable for the class as long as you take care to turn in good work. Now what is "good work?" Nobody actually knows. Jourdaine is one of the harshest, most inconsistent graders ever, seemingly for no reason. I mean, I look at some of the feedback I get, and it makes zero sense to take points off from a chemistry standpoint (she once took points off for a TLC analysis because I didn't use the specific word "co-elute", despite me talking about the cospot and Rf values anyways). Because of this, the pre and post labs feel awful to do, and don't really feel like learning ever. The lab lecture, with is a co-requisite, is also super pointless, since Jourdaine is not a talented lecturer and there's like 200 people in the class. My best advice is to learn her exact grading style and literally have a graded pre or post lab open in another tab while filling out your current one. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 2310 - Not a hard class. One midterm with questions before. The texts are modern and not over American literature. You have a reading quiz every Tuesday and then a workshop which you write a paper and everyone reads it in class to correct it. You also have a presentation over an American time period. I would say the workload is a lot for an English class. She is new and she does not grade on time, took four weeks to grade our midterm. I would say to take it if you’re good at staying on top of the readings but if you don’t have time to complete readings everyday I would not. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: ACC 2304 - Professor Edison is probably the best managerial professor in terms of raw teaching ability. All the Managerial Accounting classes are synced together, so they all teach the same things in the same format and have exams on the same day. The difference between them all really boils down to teaching style and ability to convey the concepts. Professor Edison splits the class up into effectively 10 chapters. There are 4 exams (each 16% of the final grade) plus a comprehensive final (worth 20%). The exams are all multiple choice (around 20-30 questions or so, with the final having 40). The exams would hit on both a practical level (in other words complete the problem) as well as a conceptual level. There certainly is a level of studying required for these exams (as with some classes), but not to the degree that you'd probably expect so long as you don't try to cram (if you give yourself sufficient time, you definitely shouldn't need to gung-ho it). Homework is done online via WilyPlus through Canvas. It's worth 14% of the final grade, and she'll add 7% to your final homework grade at the end of the year no matter where it stands. There's usually around 1-5 problems to be completed before every class, but they aren't that bad and you get a crazy number of attempts (no reason you shouldn't get the full 107 on homework at the end of the semester). There are occasionally a few handwritten homework problems to be completed on paper and then scanned + uploaded to Canvas, but that also is pretty easy. The remaining 2% of the final grade is a data analytics project on Excel. This is mostly just using PivotTables and is an easy freebie (even if you didn't understand PivotTables from BUS 1350). The day-to-day functioning of the class is mostly you going through her massive packets of notes for each chapter (she uploads them to Canvas for you to print out before class). Occasionally, more in the beginning of the semester, she has you complete these Class Prep problems before class, and then will cold call on people to give the answers and/or show the work under the document camera (kinda stress-inducing ain't gonna lie). I swear this is lokey just to make sure people print out the notes, but whether you do the Class Prep or not has no bearing on your grade (she'll write stuff down and keep track if you had it prepared or not but it doesn't affect your grade). Quite often during class, she'll have you complete problems in the packet while she walks around to help, but there's a lot of people in the class (about 50 give or take) so she usually doesn't make it all the way around (think like high school calculus vibes). Regarding her as a person, Professor Edison is like one of the most approachable people you'll meet. She's very deep in her faith and loves to talk about her family. She's genuinely very nice and cares a lot about her students, beyond them just being successful in her class/in college. Is she a drop-off from big Don Carpenter? Well yeah, I think most of the managerial professors are. However, I would certainly recommend her nonetheless! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1302 - You get the grade you earn. I failed the first test simply because I didn't put the effort, did okay on the second one, and got A's on the last 3 (including the final) simply because I started paying attention and studying outside of class. With that being said, her exams feel like Antoine Lavoisier himself can't pass them; just horrendously brutal. In order to pass, you need to know the material. She gives weekly quizzes that are similar wording to the exams. Overall, taking her class was a bitter-sweet experience. Good luck. - Grade In Class:A
