Comment:
He's hillarious and tells a ton of stories which helps to keep the class at least somewhat interesting... but I skipped a few times and it didn't matter. Tests are in-class short answers and essays. He grades a little harder than I expected on the 2 assigned essays, but just add more to your essays than regurgitate his notes and you'll be fine :)

Baasten is a great prof...he's fairly easy but it's essential that one attends class because all of his tests are based on chalkboard notes. TAKE HIM!

Matt is an AWESOME prof. He obviously loves his subject and is always telling funny stories that are actually relevant and really help understanding. It's a lecture format but doesn't feel that way because he takes so much input from students. Great, fun, entertaining guy both in and out of class. p.s. teaches in his socks...

Dr. Baasten is hands down the best THE 101 teacher you can get. He offers the most interesting lectures and provides the most humor that any of the generals can offer.

I had him as a teacher many years ago, and his class and the material are still relevant to my life today, he is an excellent teacher. I still remember all the stories he related to us, today. Class of 91. I wish there were more teachers like him today, he is an inspiration. I say thanks to him.
