Comment:

When I took this class in 2009, it was challenging. This was refreshing. This man is a wonderful teacher. He makes you think and put forth effort, and in return you actually learn. He will penalize you for poor attendance. I believe he fails you after six absences. Do not let this discourage you from taking his class. It's worth showing up.

Comment:

He knows his stuff and cares about students learning as well as possible. Some call that arrogant--he does not tolerate laziness--but most that I know praise him as one of the best as Mott. Sign up for his class, any class, if you want to learn. You will thank him.

Comment:

Very arrogant. I do not recommend him if you have even one other class, you won't have time for your other studies. Piles on the homework like you are in high school. Rude and self-absorbed. Worst class I ever had. I love English and everything about it. I was miserable in his class. Stay away.

I have learned more in his class than in all of the other English classes. He makes you work, but so does he, resulting in great depth and clarity. He is a dedicated, wonderful teacher. I just wish others were as good as he is.

Comment:

There is a lot of work with this class. You have to come to every class so you do not get lost. He did not mind reading over papers b4 turning them in so you can make revisions before your final grade. I was nervous with every paper I wrote but he would look it over and revise it and I got A's on all the paper's with his help.

Comment:

Not an easy teacher, but by no means a bad teacher. If you're willing to do the work and follow his directions, it's not difficult to pass the class. Was helpful when clarifying assignments, and always went over homework.

Comment:

Prof. Baab is not a nice man.I would ask him to explain the papers he had us write and he would reply, "Read the directions very carefully" he would not explain them more in detail.He belittles you.I competed in essay writing compitions and won and still could not receive a gade over a C on any of my papers.Lets just say i dropped his class!

Worst teacher i have ever had. Made one student cry, called the rest of the class stupid a number of times. Makes you do homework before explaining it then calls you dumb for not getting it right. If you can - avaiod at all costs!

Comment:

I was so scared @ the beg. of his class. He is very sharp,witty,intimidating. So helpful if u take time to meet w/him. One of the best profs at Mott. I learned alot from him. He likes to talk in German. Is lil wacky at times but always will take time to make sure we were all together in class.Engages w/students equally.At 1st scary but worth it.

Comment:

If you are looking for an "Easy A" then you should look elsewhere. This was one of the hardest classes I have taken and I'm in Calculus III! Daily journal entries and stories to read are in store for whomever takes this class. I learned more from Prof. Baab then from all my other English professors.

By far the worst professor I've ever had. He made a female student cry, enough said. If you can avoid having him, I strongly suggest doing everything in your power to do so.

Comment:

he does not teach you anything grades you low on papers does not give you a second chance to make them up you turn in one time and that the only grade you get. talks alot about nothing and expects you to have had him in 101 before 102 so stay away unless you want to fail

Comment:

Baab is one of the few teachers I have had who works hard to make an interesting, worthwhile class. My writing and thinking have improved tremendously. What's that accusation of his talking about sex? I have heard no mention of it except when he explained that sex is often referred to in ads. That critic obviously has an axe to grind.

This class is hard, and baab doesn't help make it any easier. The fact that he grades you low on every paper makes it impossible to keep your sanity in this class. STAY AWAY.

Comment:

Had prof for 101 and 102. Now that I am at UM Flint he def prepared me for a university setting. Profs at universities expect ALOT more from students. Currently I get all A's on written papers because of his passion for teaching English. I would suggest him for 101 so u can learn about sentence structure and 102 for persuasive techniques.
