Comment:

Prof Baker teaches an excellent course. Discussion posts, weekly quizzes, and 4 papers with the option to do them in groups. He expects the papers to be well thought out and your grade will be what you put into the course. He is the best professor I have had in the MBA program.

Dr. Baker taught an interesting class. The grade is mostly based on the group papers. It was not too difficult, but was a lot of work.

Comment:

Dr. Baker brings his vast real world experience into the classroom and explains it at the undergrad level. He is a great professor and amazing person. If you are present (paying attention, participating) and do the work, you will do very well in his class. Every business student should take at least one of his classes.

Teaches by telling stories. Participation counts for 10% of grade. Writing assignments are simple and his grading is generous. Great sense of humor and reality.

Comment:

Dr. Baker is a great professor with lots of professional experience. He brings both a wealth of academic knowledge and industry stories to the class. It wasn't a difficult class. Probably too easy. But for someone who wants to learn it is a great environment to glean a great deal from a real expert. HW was easy. Tests were moderate.

Great Teacher. Keeps your interest and makes it fun. Laid back and engaging - not afraid to tell you like it is! He was a lot of fun.

Dr. Baker is one of the best professors I've ever had! He was always engaging. I learned a lot, not just from the textbook material he would teach but the stories he told and the speakers he brought in. He is helpful and clear and grades very fairly. Highly recommended.

Professor Baker is an excellent educator with a tendency to digress into interesting sidelines that eventually add to the class experience rather than detract.

heres the deal: my class was so large (90 people) that we didnt have 2 do group work or presentations that are usually done in the class. we had 2 exams (non comprehensive) and 2 homework assignments (not graded--participation only), guest speakers almost every week. good prof, lectures are just going through slides, not 2 boring

I really enjoyed this class. The first test was multiple choice and a couple of essays. Pretty straight forward. The second test was all essay. One presentation. I would recommend him.

Amazing instructor! The assignments were interesting and reasonable, the exam was straightforward, and I always looked forward to class because I knew I would have at least seven or eight good laughs over the course of an hour.

Great teacher!! He made class very interesting and always had a story to tell. Very important to form a good group on the 1st day (your grade depends on it!) Lots of papers to write and time consuming class but test fairly easy...no final if you have an A at the end of the course!!
