1. Rating on Zachary Sheldon in the Film and Digital Media department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: FDM 1304 - Had him for Sight, Sound and Motion in FALL '25. Bro's class was SO easy. Workload is light. Each of the exams were literally term and definition (with maybe a few exceptions) but they were all simple and made sense. I took notes and lowkey transcribed what he said almost word for word... His questions on the exams were similar to that. I don't remembering him posting his slides as frequently as he should've, so probably ask him for that if he still does that. Some of his slides give you the definitions, others are just the titles of the concepts, so you do have to be present in class and pay attention to what he's saying, especially with those slides. Got irritating but not bad. His screening responses are short (300 words) and take max an hour and a half to do. His final is literally past test questions. He lets you look at the past exam questions and makes Quizlets off of them... (Hint hint.) I don't really think the textbook for the class is necessary. I mean, Its helpful if you miss something in class and the online quizzes but that's about it. Online quiz questions were the "hardest" part of the class and they did relate to the textbook mostly, but just look on Quizlet. I always got As on those. He had these other things during exams where he'd present pictures on the screen and you'd have to explain in 1-2 sentences how they relate to concepts in class. Very simple. Love Sheldon. Have nothing bad to say about him. Take him for FDM 1304! Just take good notes and ask questions. I had him at 8 a.m. and would take him again! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-14
2. Rating on Dan Shafer in the Film And Digital Media department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: FDM 3320 - Took him in the summer of 2026. Self-paced. So everything I say here will apply to that. IDK what fall/spring semester looks like or how different it is.... Would recommend taking him in the minimesters though. Shafer is cool. Def a big video game nerd though, so if you're not into that, that may be a bit of a drag... Assignments are pretty easy. He just had us do quizzes that I think were max 5 questions per unit. You do two essays: one on any piece of media you want, and then a Media Company Profile. It's very detailed in the rubric (history, contributions, a few things that relate to the class content). I will admit: I chose a rather specific company, so that made my paper harder than say like Disney (He has expressed he gets tired of Disney papers lol.) I'm not sure what its like in fall/spring semesters, but in the summer, he releases midterm and final review guides that literally go through EVERYTHING (yes, everything) he talks about in his lectures... I just copied and pasted and took notes while watching the vids off that and did just fine. ALSO: For the summer class, it was open note tests... And you had access to the internet. (Hint hint). For certain things I did not wanna listen to him talk about or the documentaries... I looked the answers up... Only real "complaint" I have with him is lowkey some of the content (video games; he just rambled about his interests. Nothing wrong with that, but not super necessary... Could be my bias of not being a big video game person.) and his talking pace (weird, IK). He was hard to keep up with in the videos to the point I had to rewatch it... Got irritating. He is a nice guy and responded rather quickly in the summer through email. IDK if I'd really take another class with him though, NGL. Oh yeah: Don't get the textbook. Really. I didn't buy it and got an A. He says everything you need to know. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-14
3. Rating on James Fulton in the Geology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: GEO 1402 - I'll start with this: Fulton is a very smart man. He's sweet too. Very passionate about what he talks about, but... Class was kinda hard. I put in A LOT of work and went to office hours too.... Exams are weighted pretty light actually (I think 4 normal, 1 cumulative final... The final was easier than the other exams unironically.) Exams are open-note. Def take good notes. The exams were lowkey harder than I thought they should've been, but I made low to mid Bs on them so it was alright. Figuring out how to study was the hard part. In my experience, some of what he said in class didn't show up in the exams and that massively irritated me. He kinda just rambled in class... The reading assignments were a pain in the butt. That part of the workload was probably the worst and why his workload rating is low. What others are saying about it were true in my experience. Quiz questions and NEOS assignments weren't too bad. You can find the quiz questions on Quizlet. My recommendation: write out ALL the quiz questions. They will show up on the exams. Literally exactly as they do in the quizzes. I think It'd be foolish not to do this as his tests are open note. The lab section is not hard though and I actually liked it more than the lecture section. TAs are also great (Get Connor White if he still TAs, ISTG he's the best.) Overall: An A is 100% possible, I got a 93 to be specific but this is NOT a simple blow-off class. Study and ask questions and you'll do fine. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-14
4. Rating on Emmanuella Amoh in the History department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: HIS 1300 - US-African Relations. Took her Fall of '25. Probably one of the best and one of my favorite profs I've had here and I'm not a history major. She's literally the sweetest and helped me in my first semester. I still talk with her today! She really does care about her students! She's from Ghana, so sometimes its a little hard to understand her, but it was relaxed that it was easy to ask questions and she would clarify. I'm aware how she does her class has changed since I took it, but I'm sure its still great! You learn a lot of interesting things in the class about the history and it exposes parts of American History that are brushed over when it comes to slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage. Her class is debatably one of the more useful ones that I found interesting, and thats not just my bias to her. Definitely take good notes! If she has readings, do do them. We did reflections which were easy As. She offered LOTS of extra credit when I had her, so do that. I got technically above a 100 by the end of the semester. She's great! Take her for HIS-1300. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-14
5. Rating on Kevin Tankersley in the Journalism department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: FDM/JOU 1303 - Took him for Intro to Mass Communications in Spring of 2026. I literally have nothing bad to say about this man. He is literally the sweetest prof on the planet. He's like a grandpa. In the best way possible. Also released early by like 15 minutes 95% of the time. To do well in the class: Take good notes. Take notes on WHAT HE SAYS, not just on what's on the slides. I lowkey did transcribe what he said, but he was easy to keep up with. Pay attention to his stories in class as 100% HE WILL ask questions over them on every test. His stories are entertaining and cracked me up, so it was easy to stay engaged. Figuring out what from his stories could be test questions are the hardest thing, but they're memorable so I remembered all the answers without taking notes on them in the exams. He offers extra credit. He also tells you what to focus on on the exams in class. He's said "This will be a test question" several times. My fav units were the movies and music. He's passionate about things too and cares about his students. No textbook. No readings. I promise you WILL make an A+. You'd literally have to try to make anything lower than that. I'd take a class with this guy again if he offered more to non-journalism majors. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-14
6. Rating on Steven Cates in the Mathematics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: MATH 1301 - Had him for Ideas in Mathematics in the Spring of 2026. I honestly don't really get what all the low ratings for him are about. (Maybe for other classes.) For 1301, it was easy. Probably the easiest math I've ever taken since middle school. (Dead serious). He has 3 exams and a cumulative final. (Hint: Final is literally the past test questions... The exact same ones so you know what to study.) His exams were pretty easy overall and were similar to the in-class exercises. My advice for studying and doing well: Literally copy what he does on the board. He also walks you through it in class step by step. He also posts videos. You don't HAVE to watch them to do well, but I watched them and they helped a ton. I felt less blindsided watching them before class. The only difficult part of the class is the online homework. Some of the problems were harder than what he did in class. Tip: Once you do the online homework, don't look at it again. Class was overall easy, workload was light. Def study beforehand, not night of... His exam questions are literally the exact same ones from in-class/the videos. He either keeps them exactly the same or changes the numbers... You won't be blindsided. He gives extra credit for the simplest things. You always get +5 points for getting above a 70 on the exams. Sometimes in the videos he has a "little friend" that appears and he'll ask you a question about it. Go to the video and email him the answer by the deadline and you get 5 extra points. Additional note: Final can replace the lowest grade you have and still count as the "final" grade. (Ex: Say you get a 70 on exam #2 and you get a 95 on the final, he'll replace that 70 for the 95 and still have the 95 for the final grade). He makes that clear day 1. His grading system is a little weird, but not bad. He doesn't do it the way Canvas does, but he averages all your exam grades together, so that may help or hurt your grade. The worst I see about him is his attitude and how he acts toward students: I can kinda agree, he can be a bit prickly, but it doesn't ruin your experience with the class. I never had any bad experiences with him personally though, so IDK what was going on there. Overall: An A+ is 10000% possible. I passed with above a 100 because he gives a lot of extra credit and you know what you need to do to pass. The math isn't hard. You're literally doing multiplication, division, subtraction and addition in different ways and a few other things but thats it. It's easier than Algebra. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-14
7. Rating on Derek Dodson in the Religion department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: REL 1310 - Had him Spring of 2025. (For some reason he taught it that spring, he usually teaches Scriptures in the fall). Dodson is literally the best. He's an over thinker's best friend. I'm dead serious. He literally tells you exactly what you need to know for exams (and what you don't need to know). His stuff is fill-in-the-blank. I wouldn't focus on just memorizing the blanks specifically as sometimes he tested on the ideas of the slides, but they were the answers a good amount of the time. He gave out the power points with the blanks so literally just take notes with his templates he provides. He doesn't post his slideshows on Canvas, but I never had a problem with feeling unable to catch up. Literally make Quizlets off of all the slides filled in and you'll be fine. His assignments are pretty simple. He has reading questions and quizzes. Reading questions are literally free As and I think they were a decent chunk of our grade. He doesn't grade on whether or not you're correct, but that you tried and put in some effort. Don't cheat on these with the websites that answer the questions, that'd be stupid NGL. Quizzes were the hardest part of the class, but if you do the readings, you'll do fine. He has one other assignment over this essay: Pletcher's "Is the Bible True" or whatever the title is. You just make the outline of the argument and points and whatever he has you put. He isn't strict on grading that BTW. I think I got a 90-95. 100 is possible. Exams were easy. I was in and out max 30 minutes (some time went to checking over my answers). I never got anything below a 96. I think I actually got 100s on ALL of them. His questions are easy and straightforward. Additional note: The exams were just over lecture material. He makes that clear himself from week 1. The readings are just for the RQs and quizzes. His lectures were sometimes a drag, but overall he was great! I never felt like I was about to fall asleep. And I say this as I had him at 8 a.m. (I'd take him again at 8 a.m. if that's when he teaches. That says something...) Dodson is the best religion prof and I really hope I can get him for Heritage in the Spring! Take him if you can! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-14
8. Rating on Erica Point in the Economics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 2306 - This lady blows. Yeah sure shes on the laid back side, she can teach the class decently but the work itself is where she gets ya. She is extremely strict on the work like you have to be right about the smallest things to get full points and you have to explain literally everything in the question even if all the work explaining it was in the question before. In addition, her homework is ridiculous and sometimes doesn't even make sense. Not worth taking her at 8 AM at ALL. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2026-10-13
9. Rating on Dawn LaValle Norman in the Classics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: LAT 3390 - Dr. LaValle Norman is so great! She is so sweet and such a delight. She grades generously and has that passion for the subject that makes you want to pay attention. Loved this class! Definitely take her if you can. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-12
10. Rating on Ken Jones in the Classics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: CLA 3306 - Dr. Jones is so great. He is such a great storyteller that it makes the class fly by. The lecture never feels long, and he knows the subject so well that he can always make it into a story with funny quips to add a nice break in the history lecture. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2026-10-12
