Comment:

I remember taking his class back in 2003, it was my first semester at a university, and I was so excited because I love geography! He actually lost one of my tests, and was very unpleasant about explaining it to me, like it was my fault that he lost it, that was pretty discouraging. As a matter of fact, he was the worst teacher I ever had.

Comment:

He is a wikiessor.Most of the questions on the test must come from that website, b/c they certainly don't come from the class! Here's a tip: any time he starts a new chapter, take notes and read the book in conjunction with what was given in class; do extra research--every little bit helps!

Dr. Baucom's a great guy. He's laid back and enjoys what he does. He's helpful as long as he can tell that you are putting forth some effort. I'd recommend him.

Comment:

very hard, test are killers, wouldn't have even taken him again if he hadn't been the ONLY one teaching opps over class, he's boring, picks out the most unobvious things to put on test. Even reading, highlighting, notes, studying hasn't helped me and I am a A, B student and a Grad. DON'T TAKE HIM!!!

I have to admit, his class was real hard unless you read the text. I passed with a C and was delighted. He's hard to hear, so sit up near the fron of the class.

Undergrads need to grow up. Some professors you just have to prove yourself to and he is one. Tests are difficult, be read the text thoroughly and it pays off. Make your own notes and study. The night before won't work. Hey Undergrads would you like some cheese with that wine?

he is a total DICK!!!!!!! He seems to get real pleasure in failing students. Before this class I hadn't made below a B since starting college. I got a D in his class.(thanks****!!!!!) Baucom's test are intentionally tricky, the true false questions were impossible.

Comment:

This teacher doesn't seem to care about his students and he pulls test information out of thin air b/c I never saw that information in his lectures. Reading the text won't help, either, unless you're able to pick up on the tiniest detail in the writing.
