Reviews of professor Michelle Baert

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Terrible lecturer and regularly late to office hours. Very generous with extensions. Takes forever to grade, although that may be on the TA. When you do get your grades back you might find that your entire class has had their assignment regraded to lower the average. Take home exam as long as term paper, expected to be written in a week.

DO NOT listen to critics. Pr Baert is amazing and provides a great basis to develop your thoughts. POLI364 is relatively easy to follow. It makes you understand the basics and more of the differents leftists views, plus helps you develop your culture. you have to be curious.

She's a nice human being but she's probably the most lazy and disorganized prof you'll ever have. Disorganized is arguably fine and not necessarily her fault but her laziness is borderline disrespectful

I was extremely disappointed by this class, not only does Dr Baert not know anything about the topic, she lacks a general foundation in 20th century history and politics. She was always late to her own office hours. Her grading criteria were extremely unclear and she grades on a curve. Lectures were terrible. Do not take classes with her.

She's very chill as a prof, so I think her more rigerous grading throws people off. She grades assuming you've done the reading well, but if you don't do the readings well on your own before and come to class with pointed questions on specific points you don't understand, she'll usually have superficial, largely unhelpful, class discussion.
