Comment:

Terry Baker.... where to start. Ended up with a B in the class but got absolutely nothing out of it because it didn't correlate to lecture. Never knew what he wanted in the lab reports and grading seems random. We never had the correct amount of sig figs even when he told us how many he wanted.

Comment:

He's a decent person who likes his Irish creme coffee. Slams his fist down very softly when making a point, and likes to jab at the computer monitor. He winks at you all the time, even when you're at Wal-Mart. Labs are easy but what he wants on lab reports is unspecific.

Comment:

His grading seems completely random. You ask what you did wrong on a lab report and fix it for the next time and find that the advice he gives you drops you a whole letter grade. Winks and whispers alot about nothing. I'd never recommend taking this guy... ever. If you make it out of his class with a C then you are like God in physics.

Comment:

Back tracks and repeats himself, labs have nothing to do with the actual class you are taking, Downgrades on every little thing on your lab, so if your not a perfectionist then you're screwed, just got a 13 out of 20 on a lab that had everything he wanted. Just a mad old man who hates youth and wants someone to suck up to him.

Comment:

Ugh. The most dreaded two hours of the week. A little helpful but short with students who don't get it right away, which was my partner and me, a couple of ME's. Exams are insane. Practical exam is easy, at least. Made it out alive with a C.

Good guy. Lots of winking. Forces you to come up with answers on your own instead of handing them to you. Once you get the hang of lab reports, class is easy.

If you've seen the movie Grumpy Old Men [and liked it] you'll think this guy is awsome. He's just a Grumpy old fart, but good teacher.

Comment:

Decent guy. Winks a lot. It's hard to tell what he's looking for in lab reports until you get yours back with points already off. Very helpful, even though he thinks everything is obvious.

makes labs interesting with his "winks" and "whispers", sort of makes you feel dumb if you ask him a question but overall a good guy
