1. Rating on Michael Korpi in the Film and Digital Media department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: FDM 1303 - Weird, lame, overworks students, very online based and memorization of bs. DO NOT TAKE HIM. - Grade In Class:DROP Date Listed: 2025-06-14
2. Rating on Richard Jordan in the Political Science department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: PSC 3315 - His TA, Marlei Green, is just flat out evil. Takes out her failures as a person in her grading of students. So harsh for no reason, Baylor Professors, please fire her, she has at least 100 A-level students who all agree she sucks. I say this because Dr. Jordan kisses the ground she walks on, takes her side at every turn, and will let her get away with it. His class is torture because of this. If the TA us not Marlei Green, then maybe consider taking is PSC 3315 class. if not, take Dr. Campbell. he is so good, so funny, slightly conservative, but tolerable. - Grade In Class:DROP Date Listed: 2025-06-14
3. Rating on Lin Angela in the Political Science department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: PSC 2343 - So many readings for no reason quite frankly. While it was her first time teaching as a prof, it was a very rough go. She would dock you points for using the word "believe," because "philosophers do not believe, they know," whatever that means. Lowkey a GPA tanker. I would just take someone else. She was a great TA, great person to talk to. Maybe philosophy is just not her strong suit. - Grade In Class:B+ Date Listed: 2025-06-14
4. Rating on Joe Ferraro in the Anthropology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1407 - Dr. Ferraro was good, you could tell he is passionate and knowledgeable about archaeology but the class itself is boring because it is only a lecture and you don't get to do anything yourself. I guess maybe you need to be in upper level arch classes to get to the good stuff. It seemed like only a few people enjoyed it and they were all anthro majors. Overall he seems like a nice guy, made a few funny jokes, but almost seemed annoyed when he would answer questions even though he would encourage them and follow it up with "good question!". Maybe it's just the way he answers things because he does know so much... but did kind of rub me the wrong way. Other than that he is a chill dude and the class is an easy A because he assigns grades based on the curve - if you score above the class average you get an A. I would recommend for a lab science class but don't expect too much out of it. It could be an interesting class if they structured it differently because you can tell he is passionate about it, but sitting and listening to him lecture on the powerpoint slides every class isn't helping students engage with archaeology. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-06-11
5. Rating on Marty Harvill in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: Bio 1305/1406 - Dr. Harvill is a really good man and an average teacher, and I highly recommend taking him for Biology 1 and 2 if you can. He teaches straight off the slides, but it is the exact information that will be on the test. I took notes based on the book to have a more in depth understanding, but there are several people that I know who didn’t look at the book at all. I think 1406 is a great option if you get selected because you have half of your Biology 2 grade based on the lab and you get to do undergraduate research on a topic of your choice. I recommend visiting him and getting to know him because he does have favorites and will help you more if he likes you. All in all, Dr. Harvill is a great teacher to start with at Baylor, especially if you are a Biology major. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-06-11
6. Rating on Alex Paine in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1305 - Coming from someone who absolutely bombed AP Bio, Dr. Paine completely restored my faith in biology. You do not need to read the book at all; all the information is found in the organized slides. She loves to do active learning, and oftentimes makes you work within your group on group worksheets and quizzes, which were incredibly useful for exams. Exams themselves were extremely straight-forward, and Dr. Paine even gives you a multitude of resources to ensure you succeed on every single exam. As a professor, Dr. Paine keeps you engaged in the lesson and even makes biology fun. She is available most of the time, and if she isn't, she will give you plenty of resources to contact her for any questions you might have. All-in-all, Dr, Paine is a lovely professor and I cannot recommend her enough for Bio 1. As long as you put in the work and care, I have no doubt you will succeed in this class. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-06-11
7. Rating on Thomas McGrath in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1302 - Dr. McGrath is a good grader but is not a very good teacher. I got through this class thanks to his wonderful SI, who I went to almost every day. He is a much slower teacher than the others, meaning that it kind of gets packed in at the end. What is unique about his class is that you take the 4th exam and the final together, and hopefully if everything works out for you, you can drop one of those. His quizzes are online and his homework is pretty average. His tests are fairly difficult but he does give partial credit points for the harder problems, which helped a lot! If you decide to take this class, it will definitely be a lot of work but I think you will be able to succeed. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-06-11
8. Rating on Thomas McGrath in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1302 - Nice man, mid professor, but very forgiving grader. Most people (including me) take this class not for his stellar teaching ability, but because he gives extra credit and has a drop exam, which includes the final. His lectures will make you actively fight off the urge to sleep, except for when he randomly decides to be goofy. Pacing wise, you will always be a unit behind people taking other professors. His extra credit will give you a 2% boost in overall grade, so I cannot recommend doing it enough! Homework is average, and quizzes are take-home. Also, PLEASE GO TO SI!! She was the reason I managed to get an A. Overall, you can get an A, but do not EVER slack off! - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-06-11
9. Rating on Amy Goodman in the Mathematics department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1321 - This class was the most difficult that I have taken at Baylor so far, and even though I got an A, I think that the flipped class was really difficult for me. I took precalculus at Baylor first, which I highly recommend before taking Calculus. I didn’t take any Calculus class before this, so it was all new to me. I didn’t like her class style, where she would give us hard homework problems in class and most of the group didn’t even watch the videos, so I sat there and waited until the timer was up and she could show me how to do them. She takes off a point for every mistake that you make on your tests, which are out of 100, so you can lose points pretty quickly. Thankfully, homework is as many attempts as you want until you get it right and quizzes are three attempts, which absolutely saved my grade. My best advice for you if you decide to take this class is stay on top of the videos, go to office hours, and watch some Organic Chemistry Tutor videos to make sure you know what you are doing in Calculus. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-06-11
10. Rating on Robert Garcia in the Philosophy department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: PHI 1301 - I had no interest in philosophy and only took this class for credit. However, I learned so much in this class about my faith. Dr. Garcia does not do any of the grading. He only teaches, and I think he creates the quizzes and exams. His TAs grade, and they are pretty lenient as long as you answer the question. We had impromptu in-class quizzes sometimes, which was not really my jam. We also had pre-class quizzes on Canvas, which I thought were excessive. We literally had 16 quizzes on 16 chapters during one week, and I do not even think we got into the details of the book. I liked that he always shuffled us into groups almost every class and encouraged group discussion. My only issue with the class is that it is so reading-intensive. I had harder STEM classes, and this class took up my time with all the reading we had to do. But do not let that scare you away. I realized I had to start reading ahead so I could be prepared for class and also review what I read right before class. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-06-10
