Opinion: 4341 - I would recommend anyone to take Dr. Lahousse for biochem!! She is super approachable, friendly, and wants all her students to do their best in the class. You have 4 Exams, Final, Quizzes, and homework for your grade. You can replace your lowest unit exam score with your final exam score, and typically, the final exam averages are excellent. It is a class in which you have to put in a lot of work, and Dr. Lahousse provides the needed guidance and direction in order for you to excel in the class. The class is tough, and sometimes exams can be a little tricky, considering the time crunch aspect of only having 50 minutes, but with plenty of extra credit and the final, getting an A is a doable task. Also, Dr. Lahousse herself is really friendly in her office hours and will never shame you for anything. She always encourages her students and beleives that they are capable of improving and seeing growth. Highly recommend her, especially for a challenging course like this one. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1305 - I loved this biology class! I will admit that I spent a lot of time outside of class doing independent studying and filling in the notes from class because he goes pretty fast, but I enjoyed it! His slides are very helpful, and he literally uses the exact questions from the Pearson homework on every exam. I didn't have chem or a math class this semester, so I was able to devote all of my attention to this class, which I understand a lot of other people do not have the time to do. Also, his SI for this semester is amazing and very helpful, so spring 2026 folks, rest assured you have a great SI. Overall, I would take him again because his teaching style really works for me. (Oh also, he'll go pretty in depth in some things, and if you're paying attention, it will actually be really cool to connect the dots). - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3304 - So, let me start with this: I have taken a class with Dr.Marshall before, and he is honestly awful. To reiterate what the person before me said, this class is the 9th circle of hell. I thought this would be an easier class than his 4313 (considering it was a new course), but it may have been worse. This class was based on 100 points in total( 4x10 for assessments, 2x5 for news brief+presentations, 10 points for attendance, 10 points for participation, 5 points for final paper proposal, 15 points for final paper+ presentation, and 10 points for journal article review+ discussion) plus 0.5-1 point of extra credit. Some may like the distribution of points or the "simple" grading, but IT WAS HORRIFYING. I HATED IT. Now, let me tell you, for any given assignment, he takes 1-4 weeks to grade. HIS FAVORITE THING TO SAY IS OVERPROMISING AND UNDERPERFORMING. For assessments, the format is 24-28 multiple-choice questions, 4-5 IDS, 2-3 short-answer questions, and 1 essay. For grading, the MCQs are hit or miss, and so are the short answers; the IDS are graded very subjectively (you must define what it means to the course/significance, how it ties into comparative politics, and how it ties into a given reading). I will say that the IDS are easy to master if you literally memorize what you want to write. HOWEVER, the other sections are not easy to prepare for. The short answers are random(what country was the first democracy, or something like what countries were studied in this graph), and the ESSAY IS HORRIFYING, and his grading will literally say "insufficient". For example, in one essay, imagine you are the president or leader of a country. What practices would you put in place, such as whether you would choose a democracy? What type of veto players and why? Do you want a majoritarian system or a PR system? OR even worse, he will say, "Your classmates have been talking about how badly your country is doing, and have proposed some systems of governance to implement." To continue, the news briefs are a "small" writing assignment that he grades really harshly. I'm talking; he does not give anyone a 100 UNLESS he falls so far behind that he forgets to enter grades (including final grades for the semester). The same sort of thing applies to every other writing assignment. The best way to do well is to go to multiple office hours and get input. ALSO, use your TAS. Sam Clancy was a lifesaver, and he was so good about giving input. Basically, all I have to say is that I hate CGG and that Dr. Marshall is a poor lecturer. On an important note: attend his lectures at all costs. His PowerPoint slides are posted, but they do not hold the actual content he lectures on, and he will put random things on the exam from these lectures. Also, even if you don't pay attention, please go because it is 10 percent of your grade( it really does make a world of difference). So, yeah, spare yourself or be ready for a challenge. Finally, it says I got an A here, but I really got an A- because his A is a 93. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIC 2437 - Dr. Malavanti is very enthusiastic about the subjects she lectures on. She's very kind and engaging, her grading metrics are kind of all over the place though. She also takes a long time to respond to emails. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: 1420 - I LOVE DR.NASCIMENTO. She was new this semester, and I was very worried going into this class, but she is probably the best professor I have ever had. She was so kind and so helpful. She always responded to emails really fast, she was a fast grader, and she let us out of class early. Her exams were really reasonable( pretty easy also), and she posts a lot of helpful worksheets and guided notes. Honestly, she was so great. She interacts really well with the students, and I would recommend her to ANYONE. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3321 - Hate him. " I flew a fighter jet, and if I were suicidal, they wouldn't let me fly it. Anyway, HWs are pointless(they contribute nothing to your grade). Exams are everything, and they can be a bit obscure at times. The only good thing about the guy is that he forgets the attendance sheet, or that during his office hours he offers you food. He is kind, I will give him that, but that man needs to retire. If you take him, pay attention to the textbook and literally nothing else. Nothing else matters. LITERALLY skip the class, it is useless. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: BIC 2334 - Dr. Clarkson's the best! His classes are so engaging and he really encourages his students to think outside of the box with our readings. He asks really good questions to spark class discussion, and likes to utilize multi-media in his classes so that our learning can be more applied. He makes himself really available to students if we need any help. His grading on essays and written responses is VERY particular, but once you get that down, and as long as you participate, the class is so much fun! - Grade In Class:B+

Opinion: CSS 3310 - Dr. Roeder is super nice and always willing to help students. The course-load isn't that much, you have two exams where you can bring a front and back study guide, and two presentations. She expects you to read before each class but honestly that's not necessary to succeed in the class. It's interesting enough, and she's nice, I wouldn't be opposed to taking her again. - Grade In Class:A
