Comment:

DO NOT TAKE! He never answered any emails . Homework assignments were not hard but you had to email them to him and I never got a response. When I emailed him with questions he would never answer. I have no idea how I ended with a D because he does not put grades on canvas at all besides midterm and final.

Comment:

Dr. Baker really makes you think about real problems in the real world. You learn so much about other perspectives and how to challenge mental shortcuts. He also encourages discussion about conflicting topics which most teachers stray away from. One my my favorite teachers i've ever had!

Took the online class! Highly recommend that if you are able to teach yourself things. Class itself was okay, weekly 5 question homework to make sure you did the reading. Test, Midterm, and Final were all OPEN NOTES/ TEXTBOOK. Some questions weren't in material provided but not enough to stop you from getting an A in the class.

Comment:

Dr. Baker is a challenging professor and his class was one of the top challenges I have had in my life and I have been around for a good many years. That said he is a good teacher and I learned a lot. He does have a different manner about him and can be hard to take most of the time, but you will learn.

Comment:

Professor Baker was condescending when I asked him a simple question about where an assignment was on the Canvas page and didn't answer the question, so I couldn't find the homework and lost those points because he couldn't give me a simple answer. The tests have nothing to do with the material and are just generic questions from the internet.

Ive been in school for 5 years now. I started at Delco, and continued at Temple U. Im writing this almost two years after I took Prof Bakers race and diversity class during summer 2017. Chuck Baker is to this day my top 2 professors Ive ever had. Do the work, ask questions and study terms. Theres is much to be learned from prof Baker.

Comment:

If you can get over his power trip, you might like him. He speaks so fast and unclear, he barely makes sense, every definition he gives is different from the last. ALL the students in my class are confused by what he expects from his paper. he never answers a question directly, I'm not sure he even knows the topics covered in class.

Comment:

He thinks he's the greatest professor and knows everything! however when you try to ask him a question he cuts you off doesn't listen and definitely doesn't answer the question . . . instead tells a story completely unrelated to the topic of question! DO NOT TAKE HIS COURSE ONLINE OR IN CLASS!!!

Very cocky and arrogant. He comes off very full of himself. Instead of giving a direct response, he gives you the runaround and talks down to you. I would not recommend him as a teacher to anyone!

Comment:

Took online. His use of canvas is so confusing. There were multiple midterms up. When midterm time came around I asked him which one I should take... his response? "there is only one 'midterm' on canvas." It took SO much for me not to email him back the screenshot. Makes you buy HIS book which can ONLY be purchased at DCCC bookstore for $75

Comment:

Not a good professor at all. I really dont understand why he ask questions and over rules your answer by shutting you down completely . Does not give u no chance at all to speak as if everything goes his way and his way only. His textbook makes no sense, more of a money making thing than to help students .Really wish I had dropped the class.

A really good professor. At first he seems like a freak, but he knows what he's talking about. If you read the textbook you will be fine. He calls on every singe student which can be annoying but it helps you come prepared. He gives pop quizzes which aren't hard if you're reading. If you're prepared he rewards you with quiz points

You definitely deserve the grade you work for. Yes, he's intimidating but that is what helped me learn personally. I thought this was going to be my worst class bc of what was written on here but honestly, it wasn't difficult at all. He had you do the research paper in sections and then gave good feedback each time. great guy

best professor I've had yet. He is text heavy but he is very motivating and makes you understand you get the grade you earn. You must study and come to class. he mixes humor and education well. if you are not willing to work for your grade don't join his class. I highly recommend him.

Not a good prof. He doesn't use canvas right (never posts your grades), his notes/lectures had NOTHING to do with his exams. also he isn't a nice person. he was very confrontational and condescending when I had to ask him about a grade discrepancy. overall, a very bad experience. Pls help yourself and take someone else

Chuck Baker is not a good professor at all. You have to read his textbook, which makes no sense. It is horrible. His lectures are not good, you never know what to take notes on. Does not post anything on canvas or online, so it is hard to see what is your grade in the class. He is nice and all but just not a good professor.

Comment:

Dr. Baker is a good guy, HORRIBLE professor. His teaching style doesn't complement the way I learn. His lectures are unbearably boring and hard to sit through. He LOVES to call on everyone, even when you're not raising your hand. His test are kinda hard, kinda not. first test i got a 60%, second and third, i got a Bs. He doesn't put anything onlin

Comment:

Starting off with he wrote his own text book which is unclear, his PowerPoints look like a 7 year old made them. His lectures are pre-recorded and are probably the only thing that makes sense .. his tests barely cover what he talks about. Does not offer extra credit, takes him long to reply to messages, and gives unclear short answers! Good luck !
