Opinion: 2303 - DON!!!! this class was the most chaotic experience of my life... his terrible handwriting, his wild comments, the general atmosphere- it was all pretty funny! I recommend taking the class with friends and just having a good time together! the course is structured to be very forgiving and gracious- even for students who don't totally "get" accounting (like me). just do all the homework and quizzes and you should be just fine! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: PSY 1305 - I took the team taught psych and Dr. Palm was by far the best prof. She is straightforward and clear! She also seemed to genuinely care about students- which is saying something considering how big our class was. Her test was also very straightforward and based on materials that all align with the textbook. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1321 - Has Dr. Hunter for Cal 1 and have no complaints about him! I didn't really enjoy the math department as a whole, but Dr. HHunter is by far the best option for a Cal 1 prof. He is funny and super helpful during office hours. Only thing I hated about the class was the homework- it was frustrating that it didn't give feedback and was sometimes programmed with the wrong answer. But Dr. Hunter is great! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1310 - If you're looking for an easy A this is not the professor for you. Expect going into the course that no matter how much knowledge you have of the bible, the course has a different way of viewing it. It was interesting at times, but the readings (before class) were pretty lengthy. If you took AP History courses in high school I would say this is somewhat comparable. Lots of dates to memorize and different, abstract analyses of the readings must be known. I ended with an A- which isn't bad at all, but I had other friends with other professors who had higher grades and got access to slideshow presentations whereas Spinks solely does lectures and readings for your sources. He requires you to participate in class to satisfy part of your grade requirements which was a little annoying because he didn't stick to his word as what counts as full participation. He also only does 4 tests which is a little frustrating. It's definitely possible to get an A, but it's NOT a blowoff class. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1322 - Calc 2: He's defenitely a smart guy, but if you want to get a good grasp of the material he's not the professor for you. I somehow ended with an A but that's definitely due to the fact that he gives weekly take home quizzes (homework) and does open note tests. By the final I was so confused and miraculously passed it with a 70 (not open note). I found that most of the material I ended up teaching myself with the textbook (which honestly wasn't that helpful either). If you want to fully understand the subject you've gotta put the work in outside of class and expect to teach yourself. A week before the final he taught us what I would consider a month's worth of material which ended up taking up a significant portion of the final He's really sweet and funny, but not the best teacher. Also, he has a bit of an accent, but you get used to it after a couple classes so don't let that scare you. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1305 - BIO 1: Such a sweet and energetic professor! Took her first semester and it felt pretty seamless from highschool classes. She does assign a lot of group work, BUT I feel that it's actually pretty helpful and collaborative in a way that we learn from each other. Apparently she studies how students best learn so it makes sense why she's good. I will say it's definitely a different way of learning than other classes, but I'm not complaining. She truly wants you to succeed and makes it clear what expectations are for assignments. Looking forward to taking her next semester! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1301 - Such a great professor! I did take AP Chem in highschool but I wasn't the greatest at it. Most of the material was still fresh on my mind so that definitely put me at an advantage to other students, but regardless her teaching was great. I felt that I had much more solidified knowledge of Chem 1 and could better explain concepts. She gives lots of real world references in class which I found really helpful. She does assign a fairly heavy amount of work, but it's over a 2 week period so it just feels like a lot when you cram it in the day its due (I did that). She's VERY available for office hours and does extra credit on all tests partial credit on quizzes. It does feel like she goes through material fast, but I feel like most of that is just the load of the curriculum. She truly wants you to succeed and makes it clear what the expectations are for you to do so. It's not the easiest but it's definitely manageable and there are so many resources for you to succeed--if you took AP Chem and did fairly well in it I would say you're pretty much set for an A (my opinion). She also works closely with her SIs so I highly recommend at least doing their practice worksheets/tests as some of the questions correlate to test questions. Chem isn't an easy subject and no matter who you get as a professor you're gonna have to sit with the material and practice to really understand, but Stover definitely knows what she's doing, teaches well, and wants your success, so take her if you can. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1310 - I underestimated this course going into it. I thought being a good writer would be satisfactory enough to get through the course with a decent grade- I was wrong. Don't get me wrong, her class is indeed engaging and she teaches clearly most of the times, I just thought the workload could be extreme every now and then, but it is bearable. What I did enjoy about this class is that you are given a daily work grade every time you visit the writing center or go to her office hours with work to receive feedback on (there's no limit). I had stacked up a lot of extra credit points over the semester and transformed my B- to an A-. In general, if you care about her class and gather extra credit if needed and she sees that, you'll be just fine. Once I started showing more effort I started getting A's on my work. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1300 - Dr. Demesa is such a good professor. Her class is tough and she is very particular about the answers in exams but she really does prepare you to think critically. The handouts she gave in class were so helpful to study with and she was always happy to answers questions in class. There was always 1-2 quizzes after class which took me around 30mins to finish each and there were chapter tests every weekend which took an hour but you could attempt each question 5 times. Although it was quite a bit of work, she does prepare you to understand the material well and she gives many opportunities for you to succeed in her class. She is always welcoming in students in for her office hours if you're not understanding. If you put in the work, you will succeed in her class. - Grade In Class:A
