Reviews of professor Benjamin Baker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Best class in the whole semester. Great Professor, with open-ended discussions in class. Grading is harder than other professors. Expect lots of homework. Would recommend the professor. Benjamin Baker makes the ENGL101X fun.

Way too much work outside of class. I often find myself doing hours worth of prep work before each class only to get a 6 or 8 out of 10 for the class period. The grading rubric is also incredibly inconsistent. I can do the same thing on three different day and get three different grades. Baker seems like a nice guy, but the class is insufferable.

Dr. Baker is always helpful. letters are always entertaining and related to the assignments. Strongly suggest to take 101 with Dr. Baker.

Baker said this was his first time teaching this course and he made that very clear by his activities and how he ran the classroom. It was sad because he clearly cared about everything he was teaching but the readings really had nothing to do with the topics he chose. There was way too much work outside of the classroom for a 100-level class.

Prof Baker was accomodating to me. Met several times outside of office hours. Assignments clear. Overall good experience.

Professor Bake is amazing. The class is not difficult as long as you participate and do the homework. Test are long but not hard. He wants to hear feedback from his students and will apply it. He is so accessible outside of class and is ALWAYS willing to help. Would take his class over again if I could. Hands down best professor TAKE HIM!

I took the class to fill requirements thinking it was easy; wrong. I spend about 3 hours on the prep work and you have to participate or it lowers your grade. Everything is self-taught in the prep work which leaves only discussions in class. The class is silent when he asks questions,I feel bad. He is enthusiastic and nice but gives too much work.

Great french professor. He has a very clear syllabus and makes it clear what he is asking of you. If you run into a problem, he is super kind and understanding. He makes you speak french, but it is for your own benefit. He reviews grammar using English which really helped me understand. Attendance and hwk is key. Great prof, would take again!

Professor Baker is one of the funniest and most admirable professors at HFC. He is genuinely a kind hearted person, and he's very considerate. Although attendance isn't mandatory (in person, not sure about online) he does give extra credit for good attendance. Notes are so important, and if you pay attention his tests are very easy. Loved his class

I was first scared to take ENGL. Dr Ben made it fun.

I was nervous about taking English, but Dr. Baker made the class fun and showed us strategies to write better. My writing has improved.
