Reviews of professor Gretchen Baumle

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Gretchen is a fun professor. Get out early every class, but the lectures can drag solely because of how long they are. extra credit for perfect attendance and case studies at the end of class. Tests are big idea, not little details. She says the book is necessary, but it's not unless there is something her lecture doesn't clarify.

Fun class. You can plan on getting out of class way early each week. There is no lecture on a test day so those days are even shorter. If you don't understand the material and can't meet with Gretchen, the short classes and can be a problem. Otherwise, take the class.

She clearly identifies what you need to know in her lectures and PowerPoint for exams. She is approachable and welcomes questions and comments during lectures. Does not demand high expectations. Basically, if you put the effort in studying the material in her lecture, you will succeed. She offers one on one study sessions any day!
