Reviews of professor Michael Bayer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Easiest class, no work at all. He takes the time to know us and will even grab coffee. Topics were super interesting as we learned about FISA, Patriot Act, and watched a netflix show for work. Also fun guest speakers!  Show up, care about the class, you will get an A. I hope more people rate him.

Class was super easy just make sure to show up because attendance is important. No homework, just asks that you watch a couple of episodes on netflix about class related content. Gives credit for participating in class. Overall easy class, the professor was very nice. Midterm, final and final paper.

CRIM-462 with Dr. Bayer is an interesting course. Graded by two exams and a paper, the lectures are not very thorough and nearly all the information included will never be seen again in the course. An easy class if you just show up every week, but the in-class time can be a drag.

Pros: easy class, few assignments, chill and respected guy with a lot of awesome stories. Cons: syllabus could use an update and he was really hard to reach outside of class, I never got a reply.

Really great professor here at mason. Very knowledgeable on his stuff and has a lot of experience in his profession. He tried to make the class fun and entertaining and shares a lot of his personal experience. He is a really cool guy and for sure an easy class to pass.

Dr. Bayer is a great guy. He tries to make the class as easy as possible, and tries to make lectures as fun as they can be by bringing in fun guest speakers. Some classes are boring, but it's not on him, the content sometimes just isn't all that interesting all the time. He makes us watch Netflix for homework. If you show up you'll do well.
