Reviews of professor Brian Baker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved this class! Professor Baker had interesting and engaging lectures. Exams are difficult and fast paced but as long as you study and listen to the uploaded slideshows in advance, stay ahead, and attend class you will do fine. Take Professor Baker if you can!

One of the best professors I've taken. I didn't think I'd be interested in law at the beginning, but he made me consider going to law school now because of how much I loved this class. Lectures were very good; grade is based on 3 exams but all were open notes. Always wanted to attend this class! I highly recommend this class!

I am currently taking Professor Baker and his class is wild, in a positive way! Very lecture heavy, and note-heavy; make sure you show up to EVERY class or you won't pass! He is very tough and serious about his material and it is A LOT of information, but he makes the class very interesting.

Do not take if you don't have the time to study or come to class. This professor is an amazing lecturer and one of the few teachers in this department who knows the material. Assignments only consist of a few exams

He is amazing. I was going into this class expecting a mean professor because his syllabus is very strict sounding, but I absolutely love professor Baker. He always has interesting stories to go a long with lectures and has by far been my favorite class to go to. Tests are difficult, but if you pay attention and go to class you should do fine.

Awesome professor, type of mentality. Interactive lectures that keep you engaged as much as he can with the material, Sit at the front of the class if you can because it makes it eons more enjoyable. Has people come in to explain the job and careers in CJ. Lecture heavy, so take notes and good ones. Has EC opportunities! Pay attention to videos.

attendance is not needed, but showing up to lectures is really helpful. Obviously go to his review days, you are only graded on your exams. Loved the professor, but it was a difficult class.

Dr. Baker is an excellent professor! He really knows the penal code (which the class is all about), and breaks it down in an easy-to-digest way. Although he does not take attendance, you'd be a fool to skip his lectures.... There are 4 timed, open note tests that require an understanding of the content to be able to complete quick enough.

Dr. Baker was an amazing professor and you really learn a lot in this class. Attendance is not taken but he includes in-class discussions on exams. Difficult class, but it is possible to succeed and Dr. Baker does offer occasional extra credit. You can tell Dr. Baker is excited to teach and invited multiple guest speakers across the CJ field.
