Dr. Baer is a very sweet man and wants you to do well in his class. He is lecture heavy and the class can drag on but the class isn't bad as a whole. I really like him as a person and his class was interesting for the most part.

His Ed Psychology class is pretty hard, but he's fair, and he really cares, and wants students to learn. His online creativity course is pretty easy and interesting. Nice man.

Comment:

Dr. Baer is very knowledgeable about his field, but his lectures can be very dry and boring, especially at 8:00 in the morning. Other than that, the class is a breeze. He does give a lot of tests and short papers, but as long as you put the work in you will do fine.

He's the absolute worse. Would not recommend taking. I know I won't think twice about taking him. He's very ignorant, rude and the worse. If you have the option to take him, DON'T

Comment:

I've taken both Dr. Baers' Education Psychology and online creativity courses. Education Psychology is fairly hard, but the online creativity course was easy, very light homework and no tests. He's a nice man who cares about his students and what he's teaching. Talks a little fast sometimes.

Professor Baer is a great teacher! He enjoys lectures and tends to mumble or speak fast, but always makes sure that you understand before moving on. He enjoys teamwork and has teams work for points. Tests are all multiple choice, but they are not super easy. You definitely need to review notes before tests. I would absolutely take him again!

Comment:

Loved Professor Baer, lectures were a little boring but always tried to make it interesting and hands-on by including small group-work. Gives lot of hand outs, and you do not need to read all of them. Tests are difficult, use Quizlet and books to your advantage. I would definitely take him again!

Comment:

He is a nice man but his lectures are long and confusing. You have to read the textbook otherwise you won't really know what is happening. Make sure to study really hard. He doesn't really like for you to ask questions, but as long as you study and try to pay attention you should be fine.

Expects SO much for an online 1 credit course. The articles were hard studies to read and write reviews on. His feedback was a little harsh.

Comment:

I really enjoyed Dr. Baer's class. The choice he gives for exams is fair with different students teaching styles. He's a very friendly guy when visiting in the field and very approachable after class or during office hours. Sometimes it was hard to hear him during class, but he was willing to repeat any missed directions and speak up if asked to.

Comment:

I have no idea how anyone could give this guy a good rating. His midterm and final were ridiculous! He makes you look over 86 words and 30 essays when only 15 fill-ins and 3 essays would be on the test. Who can memorize that much information? Half the stuff he didn't even go over in class.

Anyone who says Dr. Baer isn't an awesome prrof obviously didn't care enough to study hard. Dr. Baer is probably the est education professor at Rider. I wish he taught more classes because I would love to take him again.

Comment:

He's such a nice and caring man. He reminded me so much of a grandfather. His tests were a little hard, so make sure you study. He gives you different options for tests so you can choose what works best for you. His lectures were boring at times, but you feel bad not paying attention since he's so nice. I would definitely recommend him.

A very nice man. A really good class, could get a little boring at times, but overall I would recommend him. As long as you read and do all the assignments you will be fine. He is also a big Disney and Harry Potter freak. He's a great guy

Comment:

He is absolutely ridiclious. He only grades you on tests, but assigns written work that only counts as "participation" His lectures are boring and his grading is really unfair. Avoid him at all costs.
