Reviews of professor Tyson Baker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unreasonable tests and boring lectures

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The worst prof I ever had. During this hard time I had some "out of control" issues and he was playing word game with me and just ignore email for three weekdays. The course is NOT hard if you read textbook and ignore his lecture.

Insensitive and cruel are the first words that come to mind. Dr. Baker does not appear to care much for students. Myself and friends who have taken his course have been made to feel stupid and humiliated when talking to him. Completely apathetic compared to all other profs I have experienced. Would avoid at all costs and rate a 0 if I could have.

Lectures were very content heavy (there's basically an essay on every slide). Exams were very difficult (he tests more on super specific details that seem almost irrelevant rather than broader concepts). He says he makes exams difficult on purpose to curve them.

He comes off as being very conceited and does not seem to care much for the wellbeing of his students. He does not hesitate to make you feel stupid as well as unheard. Complete nightmare of a prof. A friend was going through a hard time (because of him), and sought help and he did not reply for days and was still inconsiderate. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Tyson Baker made Brain and Behaviour an extremely unenjoyable course which was a shame because the content was very interesting.

He has the worst exams ever. You won't be tested on your knowledge of important concepts but rather random minute details that you would only know if you memorized the entire textbook. The multiple choice answers are often tricky and vary by like one word. Extremely difficult unless you can memorize hundreds of pages of a textbook

HORRIBLE prof. It is honestly worth taking a class online or avoiding a class completely if he is "teaching". He is extremely arrogant and rude when you go in to his office hours to ask him questions about assignments or tests. He tests you on the most irrelevant details from the textbook or something in fine print from his lecture slide. 0/10

Exams are very specific and difficult to score well on. Asks very specific questions about studies that seem irrelevant.

Very insensitive and uncaring. During the period of the coronavirus, he opted to make the final exam more difficult, reducing the time allotted to 122 multiple choice, 3 short answers in 160 minutes (cut an additional 20 minutes from what the time was prior). If you can avoid, I recommend it.
