Reviews of professor Kristilyn Baldwin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
There are several books that you will have to read and write reports on. Often times the text can be confusing and the grading criteria is not clear. There are no lectures. You will be teaching yourself all of the material. Additionally, there were several assignments where she forgot to unlock the modules until the day before the due date.

There were weekly writing assignments that were pretty basic and an easy A if you apply a little effort. I did not even buy the textbook, but it might have been useful to have, since lectures go pretty fast. Funny and personable, with interesting stories to tell. Show up, apply yourself, and you'll pass with a good grade.

There is SO much reading! BUT I found audible books the most helpful since most of the required reading was novels. She gave great feedback and offered extra credit. The only complaint I had with her was that she slacked on feedback on the last two assignments. Her assignments made you think and I enjoyed it overall.

Absolutely fantastic professor. Great feedback given and classes were engaging. If you need to take a history course, take one of hers.

Professor Baldwin did not post a single lecture during the course. She posted assignments late and changed assignment guidelines only days before the due date. Unrealistic expectations. Typically ignored student questions. Graded late and didn't leave helpful feedback. I felt I didn't learn anything. Very disappointing and stressful experience.

No feedback whatsoever. I have no idea what about my essays needs improvement and what was good. Does not respond to emails. Coursework was usually fairly easy, but towards the end of term, was expected to read a couple of long texts on top of my other classes. Pretty forgiving grader.

Prof. Baldwin I feel is a good prof., but do not take this class online. You will get graded by the TA instead. Essay instructions aren't extremely clear, and there are essays every week to write. I worked all week on these essays following instructions, but the TA still marked off points for little things. Don't take if you want an easy A.
