Opinion: 1321 - As someone who did alright in his class, what I will say is that he is a great person, and a very good professor. He's super helpful and understanding, I slept through one of his classes when the semester had just started and he wasn't upset or anything he just told me what I missed and I was surprised by how kind he was about it. I will say that if you take his class you have to be prepared almost every time because there is a daily quiz that is about a half sheet of paper. It's usually like two to three questions about the section that you learned the class before. He also hand writes all his notes and then projects them on a screen which I've never seen before (he handwrites some jokes into that as well). All in all I would recommend taking his class, and make sure you don't waste how good of a professor he is, like I did. Additionally, I did have his class at 9, 3 days a week so that might have added to it. - Grade In Class:C+

Opinion: 1310 - Professor Riggins is a super cool guy tbh. He's honestly pretty funny and very down to earth. He's also an amazing teacher. I'm naturally pretty good at writing so the class hasn't been hard for me at all, but even if you aren't, he seems like the perfect teacher to have help you. He's very patient and understanding, and describes himself as awkward, but he's the type of awkward that's funny. He asks an attendance question every class, and it's definitely a good way to relax and break the ice, instead of just going into the lesson which I love. He also structures the assignments and papers that you'll write in a smart and effective way, nothing is ever too crammed, and there are checkpoints that ensure that you'll write a very good paper. If you like writing or don't and just need the credit, he's definitely the teacher to take. There also isn't too much homework which is great, so it's a good class to have if you have a harder major, like I'm in engineering, and I never missed an assignment or turned in anything late because I was overloaded with work. He's also the type of professor that you would want to talk to, coming from someone who has social anxiety, he's very easy to start a conversation with, whether you see him in or out of class. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1301 - I've never experienced a professor like Dr. Kelley before, and that's not a good thing. As someone who doesn't have very much engineering background, and was sort of excited to learn new things in college, he's the reason I will be changing my major. He's a terrible teacher when it comes to the lectures. He has powerpoints that are about 30 slides, and only goes through like 5 of them because he goes off topic so much! The actual class is just a waste of your time, and there's no point in going. He also isn't assertive enough as a teacher. My class had a lot of people who would just talk over him during the class, which isn't his fault. But I could never focus on what he was saying because he wouldn't tell them to stop talking. The class turns into 50 of just doing homework. He lowkey feeds into the nonsense, and that adds to why we never learn anything, because he's too busy messing around and trying to be funny. He also isn't very understanding. We were supposed to do a workshop to get certified for a project that we had, and two days before I had sprained my knee and couldn't walk, so I couldn't make the workshop. I emailed him early enough to where I should have received a response with some sort of solution, and when I asked if he got my email in class, he just said yes and sort of dismissed what I had to say, which was very off putting. Also, if you don't have a lot of background in engineering and take his class, good luck, because it will be hell. He's not helpful, his TA Ben was a great help though. AND the tests are even worse, because he will have things on there that he didn't teach us, and the practice tests are never the same as the actual exam. You will have to get engineering paper for most of the homework's, because he doesn't really allow normal printer paper. He told us that he used to be the dean of engineering which probably would've been better for him to keep on doing, instead of teaching. OVERALL just don't do it unless you are more than confident in your engineering skills, and are going to need little to no help on anything. Literally take anyone else and you'll probably be fine, this guy sucks respectfully. DON'T DO IT!!! - Grade In Class:C+

Opinion: 1305 - IF YOU ARE A FRESHMAN THIS MAN IS DA GOAT. I never took AP BIO in high school, so I had no idea what I was learning, but Harvill taught it well enough that it stuck. He has 3 exams and exam 2 is the hardest due to the amount information and a final. He has quizzes due Sunday online every week that are basically open book and somewhat harder than the tests. No Homework at all, so tests can make or break your grade. I really enjoyed it, especially his occasional jokes. Can tend to read of slides, but his tests are from his slides so makes sense. Never really had to read the textbook either so it was fairly light workload. He really is super nice, can be a little boring to hear at times, but overall really chill class. Note that it is a bio class so a lot of content to memorize, so it is pretty crucial to either pay attention in class, or study outside of class to hammer concepts in. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: FRE 3308 - Truly the sweetest professor! It is really hard to get a bad grade in his class. I never study for anything and it is all so easy. Work load is chill. Quizzes which he gives you the answers to before (same thing with the exams) and an occasional canvas video. Unless you suck at French, never show up to class, or never try, this class will be easy. Super helpful and understanding. He just wants you to enjoy the class and have fun. He wants you to learn the language but does not penalize you or get upset if you make mistakes. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1366 - Dr.Johnson is a wonderful professor. I have learned more in his history class than any other in my lifetime. While it is true that the class is primarily focused on racial inequalities throughout U.S. history, these were also real things that happened within the country and a major part of our history! Part of Dr.Johnson's area of specialization is African American history, so I would not recommend you take this course if that is a topic you find unsettling. This class is heavily lecture and handwritten note based. I believe there are 5-6 total essay exams where the week prior he gives 3 different prompts for you to prepare and one at random will be selected on the day of the exam. I found his exams to be very challenging!! No matter what angle I have taken to writing the essay, my grade did not reflect what I had hoped. You are able to submit your rough drafts early to the TA for some advice or meet with them during their office hours, I just never found myself in a position of having enough time to do so (which partially played into my grades). It is a large workload for a gen-ed course, but if you are a history buff and confident in you writing/analyzation abilities you will do well! - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 3309 - This man is so sweet and kind but he's impossible to follow. I will look down at my notes for two seconds and look back up and he's written all over the ipad in no type of writing I can understand. Everyone was locked in the first few classes and now I look around and no one is tracking because listening to him teach doesn't help you whatsoever on the exams. For the exams, DO THE HW PROBLEMS!! And look at the review he posts. If you study those two things you'll do okay at best but if you try to learn based on his teaching you'll fail. Sweet professor but I couldn't tell you whats going on. He does give extra credit for as many points as it takes for the class average to get to an 80 (if the average was a 62 he'll give 18 extra credit points, no matter how you scored). He might be helpful in office hours but idk and whenever people ask him questions in class I just get more confused. I'm not a finance major so I really have no clue whats going on in general and this didn't help. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: MKT 3320 Online - I'm in her online class right now and I completely forgot I was even taking it. She's very chill as long as you do your work and she seems very sweet but I've never had a direct conversation with her. Honestly, take this class its amazing and literally no workload. You have quizzes every few weeks online but she lets you use notes and its not lockdown browser. Theres a final project which doesn't seem bad but I haven't started it yet. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1321 - Generally speaking he is a professor that wants the best for you and for you to succeed, HOWEVER, very mediocre when it comes to actually learning the content. The tests are wayy harder than the actual homework/content taught and you really need to put in the work every single day to get near an A in the class. Only dropped cuz as It was really hard to maintain above a 85 in the class. - Grade In Class:DROP

Opinion: 1310 - He is a great professor. He goes through the material on pace and makes sure everyone is on track. There are quizzes every day, but they are easy and you can do them in advance. I usually did a bunch on Sunday night. The workload is light too. He is always available to talk about the material outside class and any questions that you may have outside of the readings. He also explains exactly what the test will be over. Overall, a great teacher. - Grade In Class:A
