Opinion: Genetics 2306 - This class genuinely made me want to hurt myself and others. Well not others, but definitely myself. Had to teach myself everything. She has a gang of LAs for some reason and she seemed to have had an issue with me from the start despite trying my best in that class. Could not stand going to her class every other day. Straight up misery. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: HP1420 - Though Sarah Smith is super nice, she is not a good teacher. Her lecture notes are very brief even though all quizzes and tests are extensive. Most class days are spent on hands on stuff that does not actually help. She is hard to reach via email and always has issues with her quizzes. She is very nice but if you can take someone else I would highly recommend it. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: 1387 - I loved Block. The lectures were accessible, even though some of the material is dense, and he will work with you if you show you care even a bit about learning the material. Three exams and reading quizzes were most of grade. The workload was completely fair for a gen ed class. - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 1302 - To echo many of the other ratings, Dr. Harris is one of the best professors that Baylor has to offer. Immediately when stepping into her classroom, you are able to not only feel, but see her passion for teaching the Russian language and culture. Coming from a STEM background, I am very used to professors who do not even know my name, but Dr. Harris makes a genuine effort to get to know each and every student individually. She often personalizes lessons to student interests and will even tailor one-on-one discussions towards you personally. She makes herself available outside of class to help with the material, homework and even discuss things completely unrelated to Russian. I highly encourage you attend her office hours and get to know her. She is also VERY responsive on e-mail. While the homework initially may seem overwhelming, she prepares you so well to do it that it does not take much time at all. I can say with total confidence that Dr. Harris is a professor that genuinely wants every single student in her class to succeed. Ignore the bad reviews, Dr. Harris is one of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met. Take Russian. Take Dr. Harris. You will not regret it. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3300 - Every class Prof. Hruska teaches is absolutely fascinating. While teaching the language, she also teaches Russian culture incredibly well and in such a way that you learn the language while also learning the culture. Prof. Hruska is a food scholar and absolutely loves teaching about food and the cultural significance of food. I have had many incredibly insightful conversations with her. She genuinely cares for every student, if you don’t feel well in class, she takes care of you, if you have a really heavy workload that week, she will move around deadlines for you. Each class and each lesson is uniquely interesting. She strives to know students individually and will tailor lessons to fit student interests. She also knows so much history, and you can seemingly pick her brain endlessly for this knowledge. Her style of testing is mainly project based, which I personally think assesses what you have learned better than traditional testing. She wants you to be creative and make your own connections with the content, which results in the material being learned well. I cannot recommend Prof. Hruska enough. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3301 - Dr. Long strives to create both an enjoyable and highly educational classroom environment. He loves teaching culture and specifically how a native Russian speaker would realistically respond to something. I really enjoy his style of teaching because he gives a lot of context to what you are learning about. He loves to joke around with students and is genuinely very funny. He comes up with very creative ways to teach the content while also drawing from his own personal knowledge. He takes a very hands-on approach to teaching conceptual material, as you are learning he gives you a very solid, very real medium to learn with. For example, he will teach verbs of motion by taking a stroll around campus to demonstrate the meanings of the different prefixes. He can be sassy at times, but that only makes the class more enjoyable and adds to the classroom environment. He focuses a lot on enhancing writing abilities in Russian. Most of the previous classes focus mainly on reading, comprehension, and speaking, but Dr. Long spends a lot of time making sure that you, as a Russian language learner, know how to write well in your second language. Having Dr. Long has a professor is highly enjoyable and that is only one of the many reasons why you should take his classes. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: MTH 1321 - Bad grader would mark points off points for basically anything even getting every question right does not really impact anything. Long workload. Paper only homework. Weekly quizzes and a very weird way of grading homework (5 points for completion then picks 1 random problem and grades that /5) the class is incredibly fast paced and pretty boring. Almost impossible to meet him for office hours as they are either during lunch time or he cancels them. I would recommend taking a professor that grades better or teaches better. - Grade In Class:DROP

Opinion: 3370 - Dr. Schwartz is single handedly the best professor I have ever had thus far! Each lecture is crafted intentionally, helping you truly grasp the material in a manner that is often rare in an academic setting. His class is not designed for you to leave and lose sight of everything you have learned, but to truly transition you into a better person, student, and neuroscientist if you are open to it. Will you be challenged? Undoubtedly so, but being challenged is the only way you learn and grow as cheesy as it may sound. Plus, he provides you with a multitude of resources that will guarantee your success in his class if you utilize them (do the study questions, in class exercises, and retrieval questions without your notes). He is also genuinely invested in the success of each of his students so go to his office hours and learn from his expertise! - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: 1305 - Professor Thelen is so sweet and intelligent, and great at explaining the insights from the readings, would take her again in a heartbeat! Class was discussion-based and it was very interesting and easy to follow. There are some quizzes, but not very difficult. Take her!! - Grade In Class:A
