Reviews of professor Elias John Baker

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Baker is now at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.  He is tough.  Lectures are long but generally interesting.  Be prepared to write MORE.  If you make a statement, follow it up with WHY.  All tests are essay questions but are open note/open book.  Be prepared to do some writing.  I wrote 1650 words on a three-question test today.

The man bogs you down with more work than any other professor, expecting you complete hour long lecture material, hours long reading material and hours long exams/reviews EVERY WEEK but himself doesn't do anything punctually. He takes weeks and weeks to grade everything. Absolutely brutal and not fair. Very, very frustrating.

Use your laptop to take notes, you won't get all the info writing them he talks fast. He is a hard grader, the more in depth you go, the better. Gives extra credit on tests, its usually putting 5 events in order of occurrence. Study for his tests three days prior! On tests 12 events given and you write about 6 of them & there's matching
