1. Rating on Sarah Smith in the Human Performance department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: Kinesiology - Dr. Smith's class can be rough, yes, BUT SHE DOES NOT BY ANY MEANS DESERVE A SCORE OF 30 or below on BU Books. She is a kind professor that genuinely cares about her students, her study guides are an for the most part an accurate reflection of what content will be on the exams. My recommendation succeed in her class is to plug the "guided" fill-in the blanks style notes into Chat GPT rather than watching the youtube videos and then her exam study guide. Then just use that to create a quizlet or study it in whatever way works for you and you will succeed. Her exams are not difficult, Baylor has a great many professors that are worse than her, the idea that she is the worst professor that Baylor has to offer is utterly and completely ridiculous. I would instead argue that Dr. Smith is one of the few professors at Baylor that genuinely cares about her students and is willing to acknowledge her mistakes and listen to reason when talked to by her students. Show up to class, do the work, get to know her, she is not that bad. I wish I had more professors like Dr. Smith. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-05-30
2. Rating on Michele Stover in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1302 - Dr. Stover is so nice, but her class was awful. The tests were so difficult and you only get 50 minutes for 25 questions (plus a few extra credit). I went to get tutoring and go over my tests and quizzes and even my tutors were confused. In order to do well in her class you have to PREPARE for the exams. I mean hours of work per day. I am not good at chem, but I think the difficulty of this class just made it worse. If you do end up taking her, office hours are your best friend. And email. Please reach out to her because that's the only way you're going to pass. I feel like she made chemistry more difficult than it needed to be. At most I could identify what was given in a question, but I did not know anything outside of that. - Grade In Class:C Date Listed: 2025-05-30
3. Rating on Heather Bennett in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1305 - Bennett is awful. The first red flag was that she has taught at several schools before Baylor.... RUN. She "Bennittizes" her lessons and tells you not bother reading the textbook. She also encourages you to not do the homework questions (you only need 10 assignments out of 14 to get a 100 in hw) but she uses those questions from the homework on the exams. She gets many questions wrong (the correct answer is usually what she said in class and not on the ppt or the txtbk even though she does not upload recordings of the lecture) She does not add a curve to any exams but does do extra credit that is so easy. I wouldn't recommend her, even if you're a genius at bio. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2025-05-30
4. Rating on Tori Thompson Peters in the English department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: PWR 3318 - I loved having Dr. Peters as a professor! She explained things clearly and wanted students to succeed. This PWR 3318 class was divided by three units. The first unit project was a white paper which Dr. Peters met with you during class to see where you are in the project or if there is any clarification that you need in order to be successful with this project. The second unit project was a group project which was the easiest in my opinion. For this second project it was a client portfolio which Dr. Peters chooses the client that you folks work with. She provides templates and goes over what you need to do in class. In addition to that, Dr. Peter's also meets with the groups to talk about what groups would need help with what or to do check-ins. The last project for unit three is a digital portfolio which you design your own website and do a presentation on a job of your choosing or of your digital portfolio. In each project, Dr. Peters is very technical and specific to what she wants on visuals and formatting. However, although she is specific on this, she tells you what she looks for and what she is expecting, so it is fairly easy to get a good grade in this class. Honestly, her class is really easy because she specifically tells you what she looks for in class and on her rubric. Dr. Peters is also willing to meet outside of the class time and she answers her emails in a timely manner. I never found this class to be hard and fully enjoyed this class with Dr. Peters! - Grade In Class:B+ Date Listed: 2025-05-28
5. Rating on Marty Harvill in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: BIO 1406 - He is a very excellent professor and he genuinely desires for you to succeed. Dr. Harvill is a great in office hours and often gives you in class exactly what he expect you to do on the exams. All his exams are multiple choice with one free response section that he tells you what to memorize beforehand. All his tests where straight from his lectures. The quizzes where online and a little challenging but overall they did not count a whole lot towards your overall grade. Dr. Harvill is an excellent professor and an even greater mentor!! Highly recommend. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-05-28
6. Rating on Dr. Michele Stover in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: CHEM 1302 - Dr. Stover is an absolutely amazing professor. She does an excellent job at describing all the topics of chemistry in a fun way while still making you work hard to get a good grade. While here exams and quizzes are super challenging, she really made you into a better student. Here homework is really easy to get a 100 on, and she even will go over it with you in office hours. Here exams always have more than 100 points so that you can miss a few questions and still get a 100. The tests where a mixture of multiple choice and free response and she does give you an equation sheet to use for quizzes and exams. She is very helpful during office hours and is the most organized and fair professor I have ever had. A 10/10 professor, I would highly recommend. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-05-28
7. Rating on Paul Zinke in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: CHEM 3331 and CHEM 3332 - I had Dr. Zinki for O Chem 1 and O Chem 2 and he was excellent. He likes to play music at the beginning of class and he often times would let us out early. I really liked the way he taught the class and tested over the material. He mainly focuses on his notes and I never had to read the textbook. All his exams are free response but he does not care about you memorizing the conceptual stuff. Trust me this is huge for O Chem, he only makes you memorize the reactions. In both semesters, he was willing to help you in office hours but he never curves an exam except for his finial with is ACS style questions multiple choice. Dr. Zinki is super chill and I would highly recommend sticking with him for both semesters. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-05-28
8. Rating on James Tandy in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: H PHYS BIO 3322 - Dr. Tandy is very clear in what he expects you to know. As a pre-med student I really enjoyed the content that we covered and Dr. Tandy was an actual physician so he often brings real life examples into the classroom. He does not let you ask questions in office hours and he requires you to watch lecture videos before coming to class and discussing it. This really makes you learn the content well. All his exams are multiple choice and they are super tricky one word will make all the difference so pay super close attention to the details. Make sure to allot a ton of time to this class as it is one of the harder H PHYS sections but in the end it is super worth it. Also if you do well enough in the class Dr. Tandy will allow you to skip the finial. One of the things he really stresses in class is forming study groups and with this class it is an absolute must. He does not have homework, or quizzes. And he does not have a drop exam. All his exams are straight from the videos, if you want to pre-study for this class I recommend looking up Dr. Tandy on YouTube and watching those videos to get an idea of what his class is like. Overall I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot from it. A lot of work but totally worth it. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-05-28
9. Rating on Zachary Sheldon in the Film and Digital Media department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: FDM 4340 - Zachary Sheldon is one of the finest professors Baylor has to offer. I have nothing but praise for him and all his classes that I have taken over the course of my time at Baylor. He is truly passionate about what he teaches and is more than willing to engage in further conversation about the subject matter or outside of it. He was very generous and understanding about late work and almost always left helpful and encouraging comments on the majority of writing assignments. I highly recommend his classes and highly recommend truly engaging with him and the course work. It can get busy at times but if you do the work, you should do perfectly fine. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-05-28
10. Rating on Kat Waschak in the Leadership Development department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: LDS 3V01 - I think Kat was a great LDS leader. I was able to come to class each day, and I was not stressed over any part of it. I didn't feel like I was being judged during any portion. She always invited participation and growth among all in the classroom. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-05-27
