Mr. Baron is an awesome teacher! Great lectures! You learn a lot about how Comedy started and how it came to be today. If you pay attention in class you shouldn't have any problems on the tests.

Dr. Baron is hilarious. He has an extremely dry sense of humor. His tests are incredibly easy, basically don't even have to study for them and you get an A cause he goes over all the stuff in class. Watch multiple movies. He does sometimes call on people and ask for their opinions and occasionally has us get into groups and talk about the movies.

Basically show up, participate, pass the tests which is the only thing that is your grade and you pass. He's lectures pretty fast though but he will repeat what he says.

He's a great professor! I really enjoyed being in his class! To those of you who don't like presenting in the front like I do, you only have to do it once in the whole semester which is optional.(Still lose a couple of points if you don't). He gives a schedule for the whole semester which is a big help to see what's being done that day.

Comment:

Dr Baron is the first English teacher that I could relate to. He teaches in a relaxed environment and promotes interaction. His assignments are not that difficult as long as you stay on top of them. He makes himself available for students and encourages to use the resources outside of class. I would especially recommend him!

Comment:

Professor Baron made ENG102 interesting, he is the first teacher in which I haven't slept once in his class. He is very kind hearted professor and definitely first pick if you are going through any course. The discussion in this class are really great and it was quite enjoyable because of his visual representation and differing opinion.

Prof. Baron is an exceptional instructor who is hilarious, smart and caring! He really knew how to make an English class fun. He always had great stories and/or videos to show the class to wake everybody up a bit, plus he gives really good feedback on your papers! Baron would bring in a different coffee cup AND wear a new, crazy tie EVERY day! :D

This teacher has been the best teacher i've had at MCC. He's so caring and always has a good attitude in the classroom. Always replies to emails, and always is enjoyable to listen to in class. Not a hard class at all, it's a carefree class with an awesome teacher! TAKE THIS TEACHER, you won't regret it. I'd take all his classes if I could!

Dr. Baron does a great job on what can be a boring class. He uses funny film clips and he brings in interesting outside readings to make Comp an interesting class. I was one of the top students in my high school and this instructor is challenging, yet witty compared to all the other English teachers I've had. I would recommend him highly.

Comment:

An easy A. All you do is go to class, go over the article and the readings he assigns, watch a few videos and then you go home. He grades things fast and gives feedback on almost everything. You don't really learn anything in his class though so if you need actual help in English I suggest someone else.

Comment:

Dr. Baron is my fav teacher at MCC! You write a couple papers throughout the semester but they're 5 paragraph essays. In 102 you write a size page research paper. His classes are very laid back. Most of the time he is reading articles and then he shows a lot of funny videos! Took him for ENG101 and I just had to take him again for ENG102!

Comment:

His lectures are extremely fast, if you're sitting in the back of the class you would not understand him perfectly, he goes over the readings so fast and tells what part would be on the tests so quick that you need to be so sharp to get it. You have to have good general knowledge about movies and names of characters or quotes for extra credit quizs

I have luckily had many great teachers at MCC, but Dr. Bob Baron was by far my favorite, especially for an English professor. I have never considered myself an exemplary writer. Dr. Baron always gave great feedback on papers as well as great grades which impacted my writing positively. I even bought him a mug for his collection because he's awesome

He's an all around laid back and nice guy. Get ready to read many articles everyday which can be boring at times. Easy class and only had to do a few basic papers and a long research paper for 102. In your papers make sure to include many examples andor experiences. Take him!

Dr. Baron is one of the most highly respected professors on campus. He has told me that he makes no money from his textbook, but rather put it together as a helpful guide for his students. He has been an English professor for many years, and is an excellent communicator. Always willing to provide extra help. An exceptional teacher!

I'm sure he is a great humanities teacher but for English? meh. If you want an easy A (99% of you) then this class is for you. If you actually want to learn something in ENG102, find another teacher. Most of the class was spent discussing semi-controversial topics and watching vid clips. Must buy his $70 'textbook' which is just copied stories.

Intro to Cinema was a fantastic class. Requires attention in class, but no homework whatsoever. Awesome Prof! He had very interesting lectures, good movies, and thought-provoking questions. All tests multiple choice, except the single essay question final. Loved it. Would take again!
