Comment:

I took Professor Baehr's online PHI15 class over summer break. Overall it was a good class, but there is a TREMENDOUS amount of work. A reading, quiz, discussion board posts, and a paper are due everyday. If you plan on taking her online, make sure you dedicate enough time because it's very easy to fall behind.

Comment:

Absolute sweetheart! She lectures but it's mostly a discussion based class delving deeper into intense issues. She encourages mature discussions that help you consider new perspectives. She only gave 4 papers and will tell you exactly what she's looking for. She actually cares about her students and is willing to work with you. TAKE HER

Sweetest little lady. So passionate about her work and so creative. She's the reason I picked up a Philosophy minor. Absolutely take her if you want to think outside of the box and develop new ideas about things you didn't know you cared about.

Love Professor Baehr, this is my third time taking her. Super kind and considerate, is so well-versed in both philosophy and the law. If you're nice, pay attention, and do the work, it'll be an easy A.

She is a friendly woman who is pretty understanding about people being late, absent, or who struggle with assignments. She works with students and generally tries to help us succeed. She wants you to do well. Would take again.

Professor Baehr is so caring and makes class enjoyable. The Class is based off discussion and does not involve heavy lectures. The readings are all posted on blackboard. Be prepared to do all the assigned readings. The essay quizzes and class discussion is based off of the readings

A lot of reading but I stopped doing it after week 3. She goes over what you were supposed to read in class anyway so no point in doing it. Baehr isn't boring at all and you can tell she really loves what she does. She loves questions and will answer anything or clarify for you. No written homework, 1 midterm paper, 1 final paper and 1 final exam.

She's the nicest professor I've ever taken. She makes really difficult concepts easy to understand and she's always there for you if you have a problem turning in your paper on time. Take her. You won't regret it

Comment:

Dr. Baehr's class for C&E was impossible to do well in unless you agreed with her n every one of her ideas, and are not at all interested in science. She hates hearing controversial ideas and well flat out ignore you if you talk about science. Aside from this, her essay prompts are one sided, and even asking her to clarify is like pulling teeth.

One of the best professors I've had in a long time. The readings are a bit hard to read through but she does a great job of explaining everything you need to know. If you come to class, pay attention, and take good notes you'll do fine. There's 2 papers and a final. It's also really nice that she uses attendance as an extra way to boost your grade.

Comment:

Someone keeps posting negative things and that's why her rating on here is so low. She is my favorite professor and if you don't like her, you are doing something wrong. I got 100 on a final (maybe because I was interested in it) but she is a great mentor, I love her and you will too! You must take at least one of her classes before you graduate!

I'm not one to resort to online forums often, but I needed to rate Professor Baehr because I want everyone to know how sweet she is! As a freshman, she asked me how I was adjusting to college and really seemed to care about me - even outside the classroom. She's definitely a professor you should get to know personally! Love her!

She is a good professor. Is easy and very cool. Makes the class interesting with the ethicist and asking for everyone's opinion. We used a book in the class but i just printed out summaries and I knew everything that was going on. Go to every class and participate you will get an A !!

Comment:

I'd taken Baehr before & gotten a A so I thought this would be equally easy. It was, actually, really easy as long as you do all the work & at least read a paragraph of each reading to keep up with discussions in class, which make up a lot of your grade. Got an A- b/c of constant lateness though, so be careful. Easy, but strict with small things.

Comment:

Professor Baehr can be boring in class but she tries to make her material engaging. Classroom discussions can be great depending on the class you have. She doesn't assign much reading or assignments and is a relatively easy grader. You will learn about philosophy in her classes and she is objective. Enjoyable despite being boring some classes.
