Dr. Baer was by far one of the best professors I have ever had. She was always flexible about students turning in their assignments and was very clear about her criteria. She did not give a lot of work and few essays. Her lectures were amazing and she knows English inside and out! I wish I could take her again!

I've had my fair share of good and bad professor at this college and she was one of the bad ones I've had. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. Although I did pass her class, I still wasn't a fan of her.

This woman is an angel!!! She is amazing at what she does, and really makes you think. As long as you read the books and do the work (like for most classes) youll be fine. I really loved going to this class because it was always interesting. Her lectures are really helpful and keep your attention. Take her!!!

Dr. Baer is amazing! She is passionate about what she teaches and is more than willing to make sure you understand the material. Her class is fun and enjoyable, I always looked forward to it. I am a psych major and took her class as a requirement and really wish I needed to take another one her classes! Do your work, read the books! She's great!

She is not only a very brillant woman but shes a wonderful teacher. She opened my eyes to many interesting subjects and she always has fun little things to do in class. I loved this class the tests were a little hard but she has set grading rubrics for all the papers so its hard to fail, unless you don't do your work and don't come to class

Baer is one of the worst professors I have ever had. She did not respect students and often took opportunities to make students feel like less. I would never recommend her to anyone.

I took her online class; she is such a nice lady & a great teacher! Grading criteria very clear, online discussions are engaging, and she is very prompt & pleasant in her email responses. You definitely have to stay on top of your work as there are assignments due every week, but I learned a lot from this course and 100% would take it again!

Pretty easy online professor but you need to put the work in. There is a paper due each week (ten all together), but they are based on short children's stories so they're not bad. A discussion is also due every two weeks. There are four tests but she gives you a test bank with the answers. Always provides feedback as well.

Comment:

Dr. B was great. She was funny and had a good sense of humor. She encouraged deep thought and individuality a lot in class. She assigned A LOT of reading and assignments to go with her readings, and rather than take tests, she assigned a project for each author covered in the semester. She was kind and friendly, and I would take her again.

Professor Baer had a way of teaching that made everything seem interesting, which is what one should look for in a teacher. She is ambitious and realistic and her class was challenging without being too demanding. I highly recommend her! I am an ENG Ed major, and hope to teach in a way that inspires students and intrigues them just as she provided!

Dr. Baer is my favorite teacher yet. Her assignments were enjoyable and made me think, but didn't feel unreasonable or too time-consuming. She teaches this subject in a way that is exciting and makes you love it, because she clearly does. I wish I could take this course with her again, because it was terrific!

Dr. Baer is a phenomenal teacher. She's very clear about what is expected of each student, her lectures are deeply engaging, and her undying support helped greatly in getting through the semester. The pool of assignments was fairly large (short papers due almost every class, 3 essays throughout the semester), but all were far from difficult.

I took Dr. Baer for a hybrid course and it was my favorite course of the semester. She made the material interesting and was just an all around great professor. She's very helpful and a fair grader. For every writing assignment she provides a rubric and if you follow the rubric, you will get a good grade.

Definitely one of the best professors I've ever had and looking forward to having her again next semester! Reasonable work load since it was a 200 level class, her lectures were very interesting and entertaining (great sense of humor!). Fair grader and is there for her students. Definitely take her if you have the chance!

I am always nervous when taking online classes however this class is not bad there is just copious amounts of work. Make sure you have plenty of time to spend... the professor must not think you have any other work to do. Must follow the example formats exactly. But very self explanatory and clear.

Comment:

Her lectures were great but the work she assigned was a waste of time. For assignments she made you write down 15-25 quotes from a dense essay- degrading work a middleschooler could do. Also, in her other class I followed the example of a project exactly and she gave me a 50. I literally switched majors because her class was so ridiculous.
