Opinion: GTX2302H - Dr. Foley is a very kind professor, and his lectures are engaging and enjoyable. I genuinely liked coming to class, and although the readings weren’t ones I would have chosen on my own, his lectures made even the more confusing material interesting and worthwhile. To be clear, however, this course is challenging. The papers were graded generously, but the exams were difficult and included multiple-choice, true/false, quote ID, and a short essay. While Dr. Foley downplays the exams and doesn’t explain them until the class before (typically), I recommend you start studying at least a week in advance. I recommend highlighting quotes he mentions in a different color and studying these to help with Quote ID (and other quotes you think may be important). Take notes in class and review these to help with the multiple choice and short essay questions. The final was very manageable. He randomly selects one author from the semester and you talk about them and their work for 10 minutes. Overall, this is a demanding but rewarding class, and I really enjoyed learning from Dr. Foley. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1301 - the only reason I passed this class was because she gave a 15 pt extra credit point assignment, if you take her DO IT! also grades were never posted till the very end... she was very knowledgeable but harped on ochem stuff way too much and test were VERY HEAVILY MATH BASED. the lecture was pure slides and reading straight off them, I always walked out and could not tell you one thing I learned. the only way to pass is to do a ton of AKTIV/practice problems, good luck - Grade In Class:C

Opinion: 1305 - I have never despised a class so much. She was knowledgeable but only referred to how important the subject was to genetics very often. Test questions were given as trick questions. Only has 1 hw assignment per chapter, very easy. NONE of the slides were up to date and it was detrimental if you missed one class due to missed slides/ information. ALSO, she yanked my calculator off my desk and tossed it in the front of the class... $150 btw! my wonderful SI STEPHANIE MY GOATTTT she was the reason I got a C in the class, hope you are well! - Grade In Class:C

Opinion: 1310 - The kindest professor. I loved his class and he made lectures into gossip/ entertainment. Exams are based off slides, which he tells you exactly what to study. Such a sweet, chill, funny professor 10/10 recommend! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3310 - I took his class last semester and am excited about finance. I'm a very hard worker and have had mixed results on his exams with almost a 100 twice and two other exams where I got probably ~80. I scraped by just barely with an A and if I did the bloomberg extra credit it would've been much easier. His class is very hard and the homeworks sometimes contain material not explained well in the textbook if at all, so you have to make the most of your resources. He gives you practice problems constantly so studying for the exams was really straight forward and the reason I got an A. It really helps just to stick by the book with finance because it means when you get a problem wrong, you can find the exact reason why in the solutions and remember to fix that error the next time it comes by. I could tell he made a constant effort to teach better but sometimes you can tell he isn't perfect. He teaches you the class right though, so if I had to take another class with him I would just again because the studying was challenging, yet very straight forward and everyone was on a level playing field. If you're about to take his class, every time you get a homework question wrong actually figure out why at all costs, make a point to remember the proper way, and don't become reliant on ai. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3309 - Dra. Calafate is an outstanding professor and made an extremely difficult Spanish class manageable. Her teaching style is very accommodating and she is more than willing to help students who are not as proficient with learning difficult concepts. That being said, I would not take this class unless you are confident in your Spanish abilities, including speaking, reading, and writing. She is very lenient when it comes to grading grammar on homework's and quizzes, but you still must have intermediate to advanced proficiency to earn a good grade. There is about one homework a week and a final project that incorporates all of the semester's concepts into one (do not procrastinate on this), but she'll pause the homework's for when the project ramps up. There are 3 quizzes (exams) and a final, all weighted equally. They are all a mix of MCQs and FRQs, as well as listening and reading comprehension. The content is difficult, but she provides study guides that accurately reflect quiz content about a week in advance. Aside from course content, Dra. Calafate is always available and makes an extra effort to meet with students, even outside of her posted office hours within which she has TONS of availability. She speaks Spanish and Portuguese and is a great representative of what the department offers outside of class (charla, events, etc.). Overall, she is an extremely nice person, and even brought treats to class in the end!! Take Dra. Calafate if you can, you wont regret it! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIO 1305 - He genuinely thinks he’s everyone’s savior. He puts med-school-level stuff on exams and then brags about how he’s preparing you for the real world. We were expected to finish one chapter a day. He doesn’t even make his own slides and literally just reads off them and looks like he’s seeing them for the first time. Somehow everything gets tied back to his personal life too. The only other grades are Pearson online quizzes, which honestly aren’t bad at all. He doesn’t drop your lowest grade either and the exams have 5-6 frq's. If you’re stuck with him… SI is your only hope. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: Bio 1305 - Mr. Lee's lectures aren’t very helpful, and the way he teaches is very hard to understand. As an incoming freshman, it was hard at first to adapt to his style of teaching, and I was even called out in class a few times, despite actively paying attention, which was pretty discouraging. Don’t rely on lecture or just reading the book because imma be honest that won’t help much at all. The best way to succeed is to watch Dr. D’s videos on the chapters and memorize Pearson and SI questions, because that’s what the exams are actually based on. If you study those consistently, you can pass and even do really well. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: Chem 1301 - Dr. Byun was a solid teacher overall throughout the year. He teaches pretty fast, but it's not too difficult to stay on track, and he has 3 exams and 1 final that replaces one of the exams. He gives homework on Activ and does online, lockdown browser quizzes during the weekend, with one of the quizzes being an optional "freebie" quiz over thanksgiving which is not lockdown and adds points to your lowest quiz. The tests are pretty hard, and the SI is not good in my opinion, but if you study the slides religiously and practice solving the problems, you won't finish with below a B. - Grade In Class:B
