Reviews of professor Dwayne Baker

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He added more work when we switched online (COVID) because we had more free time. Luckily the class got the department involved which had him stop increasing work to the syllabus. His lectures are long and boring, but the class is easy with time management. He is very sarcastic, condescending, a control freak and a bit rude.

Hes super insistent on reading the syllabus (which is like 20+ pages long). Basically one final exam that counts, which he also gives thar same exam word for word as a midterm. Gives lots of readings and has reading responses every week with weekly group presentations and then a final presentation.

Dr. Baker is an extraordinary professor. He is not your typical CUNY lenient and easy-grader professor, he expects a lot from you, and that should be viewed as a sign of respect for your intelligence and academic journey. Yes, he is strict about using phones in class or being on the computer when he is covering something important.

This GIS class is a computer science class no matter what he says. He does not answer ANY questions related to the software. You will struggle because his directions are not clear. If you need this class for the minor, make sure you take it with a buddy smart in CS. If you're seriously about the minor, I'd recommend Hunter's Urban Studies dep.

Man! don't even get me started at how awful his classes are. I felt as if I died every time I entered his classes. And makes you read 30/40 pages of worthless articles like we have no other classes to focus on. And God forbid he sees a phone or a computer, freaks out like its 1776. As if he's teaching us to save lives. avoid him and help youself.
