Reviews of professor Brian Baker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Brian is very knowlegable about his subject. class is based on only three tests in person so show up to the lectures or you will not pass. he can be very passive aggressive at times but hes a pretty cool dude. Gives extra credit especially to people who show up for lectures. take his class!

TAKE HIM. This class made me love my major SO much more. Every lecture was entertaining and I learned so much from him. He is really knowledgeable and made lectures go by so fast. You are only graded on tests, but he curves them and they are engaging. I think every CJ major should take him!!!

Dr.Baker was awesome this semester! Be aware his class only has 3 exams for the whole entire semester you take him and no other assignments. You will want to attend every lecture even though attendance is not required. He is very passionate in his lectures and is the best professor I have had at txst by far. As long as you study you will be good.

this was by far the worst professor I have ever had.Your grade is only based on 3 exams.He is not true to his syllabus, I feel that he is very caught up in his everyday job, and doesn't care about summer class.He called me dumb in an email.extra credit isn't even worth it, you do so much work for noting. lectures are from 2019

Prof Baker is super chill attendance isn't required but go to class he's funny and puts funny things he says in class on the test so just go. No textbook is required. BUT ONLY 3 GRADES which is 3 exams he's hard but if you just simply go to class you'll be fine

Professor Baker is literally the best! Sure his class is lecture heavy, but he is fairly easy to understand. If you can't pay attention to what he says then just write down the slides he presents, however try to engage as much as you can, the hypothetical situations he presents in class can and could easily be test questions. He CURVES his tests!

Amazing professor but tough course. You only have 3 tests including the final so doing poorly on one, hurts a lot. Went to class everyday and did not regret it, lectures are super interesting. Will tell stories in class that will end up being on the tests. The pacing was a little too fast for me though, and I found myself falling behind a little.

nearly impossible to finish all the lectures before the day of the exams because there were 4-6 of them to get through and each one had 40-50 slides (last unit had 102 and literally took 3 days to finish), tests were graded on a curve which was help full but they were also only open from 8pm-9:20pm which wasnt fun. good prof though
