Reviews of professor Ian Baldwin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Great lectures, made topics very interesting. At the end of every unit he would give a list of key terms and if you knew those, you could easily get an A on the tests. Very nice guy, actually had his wife for another class and she was just as great.

Good prof. Loved lecture, makes it interesting, gives a good perspective, and gets class to participate. Don't need textbook, just the lecture notes. Tough grader on quizzes, he wants like an essay for each response or he takes off pts. Graded on participation (whole letter grade), wants like a speech for your response otherwise it doesnt count.

Mr. Baldwin is a decent professor when it comes to lectures and makes sure to engage with students. Although when he grades quizzes/ tests he grades too hard. you could answer the question correctly and throughly explain yourself ,but if you don't state a specific key term he was looking for you get the question wrong. Overall, the class was okay.

He is one of the best instructors I've ever had! He is inspirational and encouraging. He makes you want to participate. He has a very interactive classroom environment. Participation/attendance is 5% of your grade, so make sure you show up! He is understanding and offers extra credit. The books required are all easy reads. Show up and you'll pass!

Grading is harsh, VERY lecture heavy, lots of reading, reading checks (set amount at random), no reviews for quizzes besides a list of key terms at the end of lectures.

Lectures were longest at an hour and a half, most were around 45 minutes. Quizzes are fill-in for vocabulary words and some paragraph responses. Made topics very interesting and was such an engaging professor.

He does not let you take the quiz on the first and second. The quiz is worth 40 percent of the grade. Final exam is worth 10 percent. Quiz is written response, which you have to fill it in and include vocabulary terms. Do not recommend.

The class was honestly frustrating for me. I took her class & it was super difficult to begin with. There were a lot of exams, quizzes, & tests that I needed to complete. Honestly, being in her class made me considered committing suicide. For me, as a student in her class right now, it was really stressful & gave me depression.

Great professor and lecturer. He uses participation and random reading checks on assigned readings for a portion of the final grade. Quizzes and tests are easy and everything is provided in the course content and lectures. Only complaints: sometimes docks points for little to no reason. Grading criteria is sometimes unclear. definitely recommended
