Comment:
STS 1000 itself is a joke, avoid it if possible. (You CAN DROP, it really is NOT required) I would suggest taking a writing course if you want to practice. Also Baritaud's bad joke sometimes make me uncomfortable, and she's neither friendly or helpful. Homework are pointless reading and nonsense reports

Professor Baritaud is a knowledgeable, excellent professor who truly cares about her students. She may assign more work than other STS professor, but all of her assignments build upon each other and ultimately help students understand the material. I would recommend her to anyone taking these courses.

Comment:
Obvious Northeastern Type. Displayed blatant favoritism and I honestly felt stonewalled whenever I spoke to her one-on-one. She also had no idea what she was talking about, applying an ideal view to non-ideal real world situations. If you want to work your ass off for mediocre grade in a mandatory STS class, this is the teacher for you.

A great person. Not really easy to understand. You need to come up with really creative stuff for your essays, thats how high she grades you. Not everybody likes her, but she has been a very good professor and an advisor to me. She would help you in anyway so that you succeed.

Comment:
i would say that the sts department is obviously a redundant division of engineering school that need eliminating. Having a teacher like Baritaud who knows little, grades randomly and assign awkward essay makes you disdain the reputation of UVa engineering school. This is just a shallow useless class which shouldn't be taught in engr schools

i would have thought the university of virginia would have had higher caliber "professors" than baritaud .. she exudes arrogance which is a mask for her real inability to teach effectively. grades are given randomly to students and if you fail to suck up, you're in for a nightmare. if she's the your only available teacher, skip taking the class.

Definitely a terrible professor. She is the worst I have ever seen. She sometimes will judge the students by appearance, and completely ignore any student she doesn't like. DON'T EVER EVER TAKE HER CLASS.

Comment:
Baritaud is an interesting professor. She is one of few that does not have a Ph.D., she has a very limited knowledge base, and she tends to be exceptionally worried about anyone clarifying that she is often wrong. If your goal is to learn, to be treated fairly, and to enjoy your STS experience, be sure to stay far away from her.

Amazing professor, she really cared about us. She even brought us cookies one day to have after getting back our first paper. Could be confusing at times, but if you go to her office hours, she's the best lady. I absolutely loved this class, and will try and get her again if possible.

Comment:
Baritaud is one of the least qualified professors I had at Virginia and covered up for that by repeatedly making things up. She completely ignores people she does not like and has absolutely no care for anyone. Indeed, she seems cold to people that she doesn't like. If you're not one of her special students, stay away from her at all costs!

She is really nice and cares! Her drawings make you laugh! Some of the readings are really interesting and others were horrible! Sometimes directions were not clear. Overall good class, caring professor- would take it again.
