Comment:
All of these people are crazy. Dr. Baum is amazing. He gets so into the material he teaches and his lectures are extremely interesting. There is a lot of outside reading, but for his upper level classes he curves the tests. He knows what he is talking about and makes his lectures really exciting with his passion for the subject.

Comment:
I am a senior and he is the worst prof I've had by far. The lectures are boring, off-topic, scattered, and do not cover what is on the exam. The exam consists of small details from the textbook readings. I'll be lucky to finish with a C. I've never posted here but I feel compelled to warn others. Stay away.

Comment:
If you don't agree with "Baum history", then you won't do well in this class. Don't agree with what he teaches? Don't expect a good grade in this course. The textbook is useless, because all he is looking for is HIS ideals outlined in your essays. EXTREMELY biased in his teaching. Very boring lectures. Don't expect much.

He thinks most students should fail freshman history to weed out college students. If you ask him a question he thinks it is a personal attack and will look for ways to slash your grade.

By far one of the best professors in the University. He cares what you take out of the class and teaches principles, among history. Class requires a lot of studying, but is very good.

VERY GOOD but hard professor. I was able to get an A without doing most of the reading by paying close attention in his class. He makes the points he tries to emphasize very clear. Also makes his passion for history very apparent to the students. Highly recommended prof if you want to learn more than basic history.

I thought I liked history until I took his class. He will not help students and doesn't care if we are trying or not.

His class puts me to sleep and I have it at 5:45 in the evening. I used to love history but after this professor, he took all the joy out of it.

As a Graduate of the History Dept. I found Baum rather boring in his lower level classes with little ingenuity or excitement and lacking the humility to be respectfully questioned on points made in class. This may be different in his upper level classes.

He is a wonderful teacher, but he makes you read a lot. His exams have essays, and he usually has a teacher's aid who is incompetent grade them. Regardless, his ability to teach is wonderful.

Argh. Baum is evil. There is a ton of reading involved in his class and the tests are impossible. The only good thing about this prof is that he doesn't take attendance.
