Comment:

She is so caring and sweet. She mostly gives lectures and reading assignments. But she goes over everything in detail so no one gets confused. Only 4 papers during the whole semester. She does give out reading assignments from the textbook, but just talks about what we read the whole next class. The few articles we read are SO GOOD too.

Comment:

Professor Baker literally will waste your time and money. Everything we do in class has nothing to do with the course. She constantly repeats herself to the point she will keep the class past the time it ends by dragging on the same point. She is incredibly boring and it's difficult to drag myself to her class 3 days a week.

Took Professor Baker MWF at 8 - which was ROUGH. Her lectures are long and sometime's pointless. She's really sweet and helpful. Not a lot of work, though.

Comment:

She is a nice woman but has somehow made my Detective Fiction class incredibly boring. I was very excited for this class and expected book club like discussions. Instead, she has us read stories then spends over an hour retelling the plot as a lecture. As far as grades go, the class is rather easy if you do the readings.

Comment:

Professor Baker is a lovely lady and she makes herself available for her students. I had her at 8am, three days a week and that was difficult. She is such a sweet person but her lectures are long and redundant. She takes a while to give back papers, but when she does she gives you great feedback. She's also a tough grader.

Comment:

Her lectures were very long and so boring. If she doesn't like you then she will purposefully grade you poorly on your essays. It took her 2 months to give us an essay back. no joke. If you want to get on her good side, go to office hours and participate.

Took her for an 8am class. She talks a lot during pointless lectures, but gives good feedback on papers. It's definitely not an easy A even if you have taken AP classes. I really like her and would recommend her.

Had this at 8 in the morning. Mostly lectures and they aren't very interesting at that. I loved her as a person, she was super sweet and cares about her students. She makes her self available and helps out as much as she can. No tests, only a few papers.

Comment:

She's the most boring teacher I've ever had. Claims she doesn't like lecturing but that is all she does. Shoots down all student's ideas. Married to a guy on the Board of Trustees which explains a lot. She gave me a fine grade because I knew what I was doing (I had taken 2 AP english courses in high school) would not recommend. SO BORING

Interesting readings but boring class...she just talks about readings the whole time and no one talks. She gives you a prompt to write about and critiques it very harshly. She told me that I'm a very good writer then gave me a C-.

She is smart and selects interesting readings. At times, however, she doesn't know how to engage students in discussion.

Comment:

She is a great professor. Her homework reading assignments from the textbook are interesting, insightful, and thought provoking. The essays for he class, after the first summary and analysis, are open topic (within general guidelines) so they're much more fun to right. She's incredibly fair and always willing to help anyone who needs or wants it.

Comment:

Baker is a good professor. While her class is a bit boring, she offers extra help on writing assignments and essays. No tests-essays only-few homework assignments-cancelled class a fair enough and never had the extra hour-final paper can reviewed by her before submission

Comment:

She expects you to be an english major with your ability to edit a paper. If you have an kind of learning disability or you do not plan to be a english major. Do your best not to take her. She is boring and grades harshly on editing abilities over content.

Comment:

Your grade is two essays, a revision essay, a research paper, and quiz average. Dr. Baker is pretty picky when grading essays, but she's always willing to look them over and give you pointers before it's due. Reading quizzes are really specific. Class is mostly discussion, can be boring but glad I had her. I'm not a very good writer but got an A-.

Comment:

Found this class incredibly boring and repetitive. basically learn the same thing you learn in high school about analyzing,grammar, spelling etc. She just stands in front of the class and talks the whole time and nobody participates. Easy if you read the stories and put effort into the paper.

Comment:

love ms. baker. such a sweet lady. I took her for english 110 (very hard...) and chose to take her for detective fiction the next yr. awesome class. very fun. points are 100% quizzes, so if you don't read, prepare to fail miserably! read the books (which are all great) and the quizzes are on a 1st grade comprehension level. take her. I love her!
