Reviews of professor Benjamin Baker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Summer class that's online and asynchronous and I recommend you take it if you want to skip all the B.S. of a regular class during the semester. Dr. Baker was too the point and I appreciate that cuz I'm working 2 jobs and need to graduate.

I enjoyed taking this class with Dr. Baker. He is very caring about his students, and fosters a healthy discussion environment. His lectures were interesting and entertaining. A good amount of reading for homework, two exams, two papers, but overall the class was enjoyable.

Dr. Baker is an amazing lecturer and is quite funny too. While there are lots of reading materials to focus on outside of class, he fosters a great discussion environment and is open to student feedback and input during class. Make sure you attend discussion sections and participate when you can! The readings are important but you can skip some.

Dr. Baker provided all the class materials and the schedule and pace went smoothly. I liked that the requirements were only what was necessary and there was no busy work. He was available to talk over Zoom and when I misunderstood an assignment, he explained what I did wrong and let me make it up!

This class was great for career prep. We had to choose a local problem within our major subject and did assignments on it all semester. Professor Baker was passionate and knowledgable about local issues and careers.

Dr. Baker very evidently knows what he is talking about, however the way he relays the information to students can leave them feeling more confused than they were before showing up. You really need to have a solid grasp on your basic French grammar rules to survive in this class, because there is a lot that students are expected to know.

Best class ever! Interesting, worldly, and never a boring moment. He's confident , respectful, and wants you to learn and succeed. Attend class, pay attention, take notes. Tests are based on what he lectures. Answers questions and follows the syllabus. He's funny, intelligent, old school yet up to date as well. Highly recommended

No need to worry about attendance because he never took attendance and wouldn't know you were absent unless you mentioned it to him. Didn't provide his school email so could never contact him when needed to. Didn't have grades up on moodleroom and when I asked about my grades all I got was "don't worry your doing fine". I regret taking his class

I like this class because Prof Baker only covers what is needed, not a lot of extra readings or busy work. I'm working in a job right now where I can directly apply the stuff I'm learning in the class, so it's helpful for me. Recomended!
