I was in the last class he ever taught. Excellent prof., fair exams, very clear and takes you straight to the point. I didnt really use his notes, the textbook was more then enough. Great professor overall. Enjoy retirement!

Comment:

Yes the class was a bit boring..it is stats..and he mumbles and stuff but he goes through examples posts full notes gives out handouts and answers questions, exams are fair but just because its stats dont under-study they make you apply what you've learnt. Notes are great but dont waste time on theory. read textbook and understand problem solving

Comment:

His mumbling and stuttering makes it hard to concentrate. He's not very estatic about this course either (I don't blame him), but his voice doesn't help in keeping you awake. He is a kind prof, but he is getting old.

Comment:

Dr. Baggs is an awsome prof, he keeps everyone quiet in the class (quite forcefully at times) which is something all profs should do. Also, having the notes available to purchase made things a whole lot easier. He was also able to answer all questions in class quite clearly. All in all, very good

Comment:

His mumble just makes everything even more complicated than it already is. I also like how he can't hear when someone is asking a question, and makes the student feel like the stupid one. He really needs to retire.

Comment:

great prof! as long as u pay attention in class, and buy his notes, ull do well in his class. sometimes it gets kind of boring, but he is always ready to help. he wants his students to do really well, and actually does care, unlike a majority of profs.

I think that Dr Baggs is the nicest, most goodhearted man who is so concerned with the success of all his students, if a best teacher award could be given to him, it would be very well deserved!!

I can't say i liked the man. Of course, I didn't do great inthe course. He has a little mumble. And by a bit, i mean quite a bit. Don't get left behind.

Very good entry level teacher. He's a little difficult to understand due to his mumble, but take notes and show up for class and you'll do fine. Knows his stuff and is willing to explain everything even if your questions are painfully obvious to him.

Best Prof ever! Treated every student as an individual and willing to listen. Don't believe what others said. They either didnt listen or were unprepared. Buy his notes for sure.

Dr. Baggs is an incredible prof... He has a somewhat dry sense of humour, and he is really friendly to talk to outside of class. His lectures are very straightforward and easy to follow... Buy his notes and you'll excel

Comment:

He mumbles but he is a funny nice guy. If you go to his office or stay after class he is helpful. His tests are fair. But his notes are on powerpoint and there is no interactin in class! There is no room for questions in class.
