1. Rating on Karine Gil in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1306 - Wild semester. Dr. Gil is really knowledgeable and super passionate, but her passion goes a bit too far. A 94 for an A is really difficult to achieve and I don't believe many got the A in this class. She graded the zoo project SUPER HARD and it dropped a ton of people's grades. Overall, she isn't the worst but I would definitely NOT take her again. At least her exams had a lot of questions so if you got one wrong it was okay. Mostly her exams were just straight memorization questions so if you really just memorized every piece of information in her slides (like actually that's what I had to do to get an A) you can pass the class. One exam I didn't memorize everything and I failed it. So you can definitely fail an exam and still get an A (coming from someone who did). This is because she allows one drop exam so that was definitely mine. Her lectures were lowkey fun because she is a fun professor to watch lecture because she is very passionate about her material. I don't remember any homework or quizzes which was good. Genuinely you just had to memorize the slides - I can't say it enough if you memorize every single piece of information INCLUDING THE IMAGES you will get an A. Tests were extremely hard though but her final was relatively easy. Overall, I'd say take a different professor, however I've had very little luck with good professors in the biology department. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-01-21
2. Rating on Adam Mansell in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 2416 - Dr. Mansell is super nice. His class is the most disorganized class I have ever taken at Baylor. Like to a crazy level. In his syllabus he didn't even post exam dates so you truly had no idea what you were walking in to. Honestly, no class will truly prepare you for this one. I found nothing from other classes helpful/beneficial while taking this class. He let us have a take-home exam and also have cheat sheets on the other exams which was awesome. Basically if you practice the powerpoint questions you know the exam questions which is great. I just put all the powerpoint questions on my cheat sheets and he never changed the numbers and I got close to a 100 on the exams so truly just put the powerpoint questions on your cheat sheet and you're set. Definitely show your work though. The lectures were a huge waste of time and I truly wish I did skip all of them cause he doesn't take attendance, however I knew people in the class that did this and they forgot to show up for exam days cause he didn't post them in canvas so I don't really recommend skipping unless you have a friend in the class that will tell you when the exams are. Labs don't take 4 hours and my TA was awesome so it was super chill. The post-lab work takes super long and learning all the excel stuff was rough. He also didn't grade stuff until the very end of the semester so I truly walked into finals having no idea what I was going to get in this class. His assignments took an extremely long amount of time and I wouldn't normally worry about this class but to get a 94 you do have to put in a little bit more work to get that A. Overall super nice professor and you have to take the class, but I would definitely not take it again. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-01-21
3. Rating on Michael Plunk in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 3331 & 3332 - BEST OCHEM PROFESSOR EVER!! I took Dr. Plunk for both Ochem 1 and 2 and it was a super fun class. I really enjoyed the flipped fridays. He gave 6 quizzes (1 was a pop quiz, 1 was a partner quiz, 1 was a planned in class quiz, 3 were take-home quizzes but these were much harder than the in class ones). All the exams were on a monday so I would genuinely just cancel everything that weekend and just study 8am-10pm saturday and sunday before the exams. I procrastinated a ton but honestly doing the homework during the week instead of on the weekend when it was due was a GAME CHANGER. First semester I rarely went to office hours and when I did it was exclusively to pick up an exam and leave as quickly as possible. Second semester I started doing the homework as we learned the material and when I had questions I could actually go to office hours and ask them which is a wild concept I know but it truly did change the game for ochem and I definitely think you need to do the homework's early for ochem 2. Ochem 1 I got through with an A while procrastinating but I think it would have been a lot less stressful had I actually done the homework ahead of time. I would suggest downloading a free pdf of Klein's Ochem as a second language textbook (semester 1 and semester 2). I exclusively used these to learn the material before exams. When I talked above about my sat/sun crunch learning this is what I mean. I would just go page-by-page doing all the problems and learning all the material and it makes ochem super easy to understand. I cannot recommend this book enough. Overall, Dr. Plunk is an amazing professor, he is actually human and is super nice in office hours and he genuinely cares and is passionate about ochem. He also really cares about how you get your answer (like knowing why) and not just memorizing stuff which really resonated with me. He really wanted us to understand it and not just memorize it which I liked best about the course and ultimately I think helped me succeed. Overall, these were my favorite classes at Baylor and I am so glad I took Dr. Plunk and I can't recommend him enough. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-01-21
4. Rating on Meredith Palm in the Neuroscience department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 2405 - Psych Research Met - Dr. Palm is an extremely intelligent professor. She makes the concepts simple to learn and is very open to questions. Meet with her to discuss grades or anything psychology-related, as she is an open book of information. She is a mom of two young ones who tend to make an appearance during the exams and the final presentation. They are often quiet, but I'd suggest studying with moderate noise in the background. She set up the course with plenty of time to get all aspects of the paper prepared while keeping her TAs informed and on the same page. You definitely should spend a good amount of time studying for the exams, as each one kinda accumulates past and present topics. She does offer an extensive review before exams, again leaving room for any possible questions you may have. For a required psychology class for psych majors, do your best to take Research Methods with Dr. Palm. If I could take more classes with her, I would. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-01-20
5. Rating on Kaitlin Phillips in the Communication Studies department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: Interpersonal Com - Probably the best teacher I've taken at baylor, extremely helpful in all aspects. No reason you shouldn't be able to get an A( I didn't because I was lazy) but she's super fun and makes class engaging, take this class its great you will have such a fun time! - Grade In Class:B+ Date Listed: 2026-01-20
6. Rating on Deirdre Fulton in the Religion department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: REL 3303 - I thought this class was going to be using Archaeology to prove the Bible but it wasn't and it was actually really interesting. You had daily readings for pop quizzes and three map quizzes throughout the semester but she ended up only have the third if we wanted a grade replacement. There are two tests which were not bad at all because she gives you a very helpful study guide. The final was a 7-10 page paper and a really quick presentation about a topic we chose which was very well paced because we worked on it piece by piece throughout the semester. She is really funny and I very much enjoyed taking this class! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-01-20
7. Rating on John Davis in the Mathematics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: MTH 3326 - He is really nice and his goal is for sure for you to understand the material rather than just memorize it. We had 9 quizzes but 2 were drops and every three quizzes there is a test. The tests were hard but he does prepare you for what will be on them and they are somewhat like the quizzes. The homework is optional but the tests were very similar to the homework. I could have done better in the class if I did the homework but I didn't start looking at the hw til before the last test oops. - Grade In Class:C Date Listed: 2026-01-20
8. Rating on Walter Wilcox in the Physics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: PHY 3320 - He is a nice older guy, he made us buy his textbook and basically his lectures were just copy and paste from the textbook. The homework was pretty hit or miss, sometimes it would be very clear because the textbook helped solve it but sometimes it would just be a shot in the dark. There were 4 tests? and a final. Do good on the homework because that will set up your grade for success. You were allowed to use the textbook during the exams and we had to present homework at the start of each class. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2026-01-20
9. Rating on Jared Fier in the Physics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: PHY 4351 - I had him for 1430 and really enjoyed it!. His teaching style was different this go around, I definitely preferred how he taught 1430. We had 5 tests? all take home, and were problems based out of the textbook which made sense if you read the chapter of the problems. He is very quick about emailing back and will happily give an extension or help you out. The homework wasn\'t bad, it was also out of the textbook, it sometimes just took a while so it was better to work on it over time rather than the night before it was due. For the final it was a bunch of comprehensive questions but he gave us a list of like 50 to study and chose maybe 20 of them. He is a really good teacher and has great energy! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-01-20
10. Rating on Dan Peppe in the Geology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: GEO 1305 - I took the wintermester course so obviously there was a lot of work because it was fast paced. We had modules that were from a textbook and reading that corresponded to it but wasn't grading. He gave us slideshows from previous semesters to help us as well. The tests were 40-45 multiple choice questions and weren't bad at all. He also let us have a one sided notes sheet for each exam. Basically if you looked through the slideshows and did the modules you would be good. We had discussion posts and responses but those weren't bad at all. The final was a presentation on a topic we chose which also wasn't bad. He was really understanding and great about getting back to any emails I had. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-01-20
