1. Rating on Dr. Michele Stover in the Chemistry department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1302 - I personally would not recommend Dr. Stover for 1302; she wasn't a bad professor— not by far. It's just that 1302 is such a content heavy course, that I wish I had listened to all my friends telling me to take Mcgrath instead. I heard she's great in 1301, but unfortunately for 1302, the course load just went too fast, and if you're a person who takes more time to understand math content (like me), PLEASEEE TAKE A SLOWER PROFESSOR!!! She is very organized, and she seems like she cares very much about students success, and I LOVED how passionate she was about what she was teaching— However, my grades just could never be there with how fast the course went. If you are a math god and love chemistry like it's nobody's business (I've always been a biology girlie, personally), then maybe you'll prosper and do well! But trust me and be honest with yourself and PLEASE HEED MY WARNING! Also a big issue was time on tests for me— I never finished a test on time and was ALWAYS left guessing or leaving stuff blank and THATS where most of my points would go even if I did understand content a little more— It was like 25 questions, 10 mc, then like 4 math mc, a question where you picked 2/3 to answer all math, and some more free response math. She does give pity points on the math but she also is like... super critical if you mess up sigfigs or don't label. It makes sense, but when on a time crunch, I don't have time to check all that, girl! (╥﹏╥) The tests also always felt harder than the homework for some units, like there were trick answers and idk I just prefer some straightforwardness with my math. - Grade In Class:C Date Listed: 2025-08-07

3. Rating on Alex Paine in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: BIO 1305 & 1306 - To clarify on the grade, the A+ is for semester one, whereas I got a B+ in semester two (because I got lazy, oopsie, not the fault of Dr. Paine at ALL)! Anyway! Dr Paine is such a great professor, I genuinely cannot imagine a more perfect course because 1) She genuinely cares about WHAT she's teaching you, 2) Her slides are very straightforward/in-depth, and 3) She practically HANDS YOU an A ON A SILVER PLATTER IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT IT! I just love a passionate teacher, and that's exactly what Dr. Paine is, I was engaged all the time in her class, and she teaches you in a way so that you actually understand and KNOW the material instead of just memorizing and moving on after the tests. In class, we had a set designed group for the semester (this was very helpful imo!) and she went through her slideshows with us and then at a certain point would break us off into our groups to work through a worksheet asking us questions about our homework the night before or what we just discussed to really get us into it. We would go over case studies and do activities that would require us to move around the room a handful of times— Some people may have found it silly, but those times really did help integrate the material more! The packets and such were just completion grades and were completed for your own benefit. She also understood some things needed visual learning so she drew diagrams with us a bunch of times too. Also, before each exam she releases a student generated practice exam filled with questions we submit from our groups. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH— ABSOLUTELY DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS!!! 1/3 OF THE TEST IS PULLED FROM THOSE QUESTIONS, SO THAT'S 1/3 OF YOUR GRADE ALREADY HANDED TO YOU!!!! I (She also pulled questions from our worksheets we completed!!!) never actually attended one of her office hours myself, since she was always available after class to chat, but I've heard they're helpful. She also created a discord server for all of her students so if you have a question or problem you need help with outside of hours, you can ask her and receive a fast response without actually having to GO in, so that was neat! The tests were very, VERY straightforward. If you study/reviewed the slides/did the practice exams, you'll almost always finish the test before time is up. There was a free response section at the beginning, but those were mostly like matching or fill in the blank— I think once we had a math problem, but only once. After that you head into the MC part of the exams and these ranged from like 50-70~ questions depending on the chapter, but like I said you'll be able to fly through those if you know your material. There's a codon which I didn't really like because I would always forget to read it before class, but they're super easy to complete and she does have a grace period if you forget your reading or to turn in your homework. The codon felt like busy work but I prefer it LOADS more than having to read through the 70-page chapters of Pearson she switched from ߹𖥦߹ Also it's cheaper so yippie ^0^ Overall she's just a great professor she's so silly and really cares about the content she's teaching you and has so many fun facts about Biology, I wish I could've gotten her again for Genetics :( - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-08-07
4. Rating on Natalie Moreira in the Political Science department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: PSC 1387 - Literally, I do not understand the low rating at ALL. Prof. Moreira is a sweetheart, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the subject she's teaching— she's such a passionate professor and really cares about her students. Look, the other reviews will cry and roll over about the pop quizzes, or the readings, or the fact that she doesn't use a PowerPoint; I'm here to say GET A GRIP IF THAT PSYCHES YOU OUT! This is COLLEGE people, a pop quiz or two will not sneak into your dorm while you're asleep and harm you. The pop quizzes are okay if you actually read the material— so you fail some, you pass some, it literally does not matter because she drops like three of the failing ones at the end of the semester and it does not damaged your grade significantly. The readings need to be done before each class and are MAYBE an hour of your time AT MOST— You need to work smarter, not harder, and find a youtube summary on the court cases/documents or look up Oyez, UTILIZE your resources and TAKE NOTES. If you take notes on paper about your readings, she allows you to use those notes on your quizzes. I personally preferred to take notes on my computer, so I never got to use the little cheat sheet, but because I took notes, I didn't really need it anyway. We only had two tests: the midterm and the final. Before you get psyched out again these tests are SO STRAIGHTFORWARD. She literally does nothing to trick you, on both exams there were maybe 4 on each I was iffy on but that's a result of when you know so much you start second guessing. The questions are structured in a way that if you actually KNOW the material then it's clear what the answer is. Sample Question: Why did the colonists take up arms? A) b/c they hate the british crown B) b/c they want respect like other brits C) b/c they were feeling silly D) b/c george washington said so. Essentially, it's so straightforward that it's akin to asking, "Why is the sky blue?". Tests were so easy that for the first I studied for like 3 hours beforehand after leaving another midterm and the last I didn't have time to study for aside from skimming my notes the day of due to my moving situation suddenly changing and having to pack my dorm asap— and I got high A's on BOTH. Not saying you should wait this long, these were both unfortunate circumstances, but I'm saying if push came to shove you'll be alright if you paid attention in the lectures and read— you hardly NEED to study because everything she teaches you is literally on the test idk what more you could want. She is so engaging in her lectures to help us understand the reasonings behind the documents by calling some of us up as little play dummies to demonstrate what's being portrayed. She would also encourage us to think CRITICALLY about what the papers are asking us, instead of us just being handed the answers in her lectures— I preferred that method so much more because with something like history and polisci it's something that needs to be discussed instead of just straight-out-of-mouth taught. It's not like she has "favorites" she just has students she recognizes, if you answer a lot in her class and engage, she'll remember your name, plain and simple ┐(´ー｀)┌ She gives out loads of extra credit which were stuff like attending speaker lectures or doing a pretend naturalization test. She is great. You should take her. She is funny. JUST PAY ATTENTION AND YOU WILL DO WELL. She's so great, she resolidified my love of political thought and it's become my minor, just trust me ^0^ - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-08-07
5. Rating on Dana Dean in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1306 - Dr. Dean is very intelligent, and undoubtably knowledgeable on biology. However, a 1300 level class should not be this hard. Biology is a subject that requires memorization, but memorizing HUNDREDS of slides down to the details word for word so in depth to the point where you're fighting for your life instead of learning anything meaningful about science is so unmotivating. Her tests are select all that apply, matching with excess answers, and multiple-multiple choice questions that partial credit won't help you with. - Grade In Class:C Date Listed: 2025-08-06
6. Rating on Mark McGraw in the Spanish department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: SPA2324 - McGraw is the goat. While there is homework almost every class, he is always happy to help. The exams are take-home and online. He speaks clearly and I learned just as much about business as I did Spanish. The final was a Shark Tank project and while it required a lot of collaboration and effort with my partner, I had fun doing it. Definitely take McGraw. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-08-06
7. Rating on Karine Gil in the Biology department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: BIO1306 - DO NOT TAKE GIL. Her accent makes her incredibly hard to understand and her teaching style is incredibly boring. She goes through her slides way too fast and tries to cram way too much information into 1 class. Her office hours were not favorable for my schedule and the only reason I passed was due to SI. - Grade In Class:B Date Listed: 2025-08-06
8. Rating on Cara Forney in the Religion department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: REL1310 - Mrs. Forney is such a sweet person and great teacher. She's clearly passionate about her work and is always happy to chat after class. Also, all her quizzes and tests are online and take-home. She was always availiable to go over tests and help with projects in her office hours as well. - Grade In Class:A Date Listed: 2025-08-06
9. Rating on Bracy Hill in the History department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 1300 - Do not take this class unless you absolutely have no choice!!!!! The workload is insane. He comes across as very egotistical. I got a C on a quiz, and he emailed me saying, "You would get a better grade if you actually watched the lecture" (Quizzes are super specific; lectures do not cover most of them). He definitely thinks this class matters more than any other. This man needs therapy. I wish Baylor would investigate him. - Grade In Class:C+ Date Listed: 2025-08-04
10. Rating on Jeremy McElroy in the Quantitative Business Analysis department
Teaching Ability Availability Helpfulness Workload* Opinion: 5330 - He is the absolute worst professor at Baylor. He can not explain anything at all. All he does is read word for word from his powerpoints. His reading, powerpoints, homework, and test all teach the material in different formats which makes it impossible. He does not give out help at all which is awful. He also told us we are not allowed to use excel and instead to use r studio. No one has ever heard of r. Imagine going into the work place saying you have no idea how to use excel because this insane professor said it was not effective. He also went crazy and forced us all to us lockdown browser halfway through the semester when some people he accused of cheating. He should not have punished the whole class for the actions of a few. Class averages are failing for every exam with the lockdown browser. This shows that this professor has no idea how to teach. He is absolutely terrible and awful, and will seem happy with a smile if he fails students. He has no heart and should not be teaching at this university. Run away from this man, he will ruin your GPA. I have never had a professor that treats students with so much disrespect than this man. - Grade In Class:C Date Listed: 2025-08-03
