Best Professor, he is so nice and funny. Literally understand the powerpoints for the exam and you will do fine. The 2nd exam (probability) is notoriously hard but thats the only thing "hard" about the class

Comment:

Mr. Baker is a very excited and great professor who wants you to understand Biology. If you are ever confused, do not hesitate to ask questions! Go to his office hours or stay after class to ask what you should study for any of the exams because he will guide you to what diagrams/big ideas will be included.

Awful professor. He never follows his syllabus and always has mistakes on his exams. Very scatter brained and his exams are always confusing. HE NEVER ANSWERS EMAILS. Avoid taking him if you can.

Comment:

I took him for Gen Bio Lab and he was terrible. He is a hard grader, and I often had to go back and fight for a better grade. He marked a lot wrong on tests that were right and it lowered my grade. Being an athlete, he didn't work with me and he never let me make anything up. DO NOT TAKE!!!

Comment:

Awful prof... Scatter-brained, poor public speaker, exams are way too long. He would lecture and half-way through realize he was teaching the wrong subject for the day. Once, he came to class and forgot the exams so we took it the next class period. During every exam over half the class never finished in time.

Comment:

Dr. Baker is one of the most helpful professors I have ever had. Required many trips to office hours, but worth it in the end. Lectures are very confusing though, but necessary to pass exams because he gives important definitions needed for them. Nicest man ever!

scattered all over the place. i took this class in the summer so everything was clumped together. tests were the worst part about it. even when you study, its very hard to pass. he would clump two chapters together (everything was fill in the blank) with only 10 questions on each test which makes it hard to study for.

Comment:

Baker always means well. Has high expectations, but gives students tools to meet them. Always willing to answer questions and help. Is a bit disorganized, but easier to handle when you recognize that his eccentricities may be the result of a social disorder. Wish I'd taken him for more classes.

Comment:

A very bright teacher, but not always the best thing to have. Has high expectations for what you should already know and gives the craziest practicals giving a picture of four slides that look exactly the same!! The only thing crazier than his exams was his enthusiasm. The man is so hyperactive and he makes the funniest sounds with his high pitch

Comment:

He sucks. I wish I would've taken bio lab with a different teacher. I am very good at labs but his class grade wasn't even based off of labs. He grades final projects depending on how he likes you. Do not take him. He will annoy the hell out of you.

Comment:

He grades any assignment he can based on how well he likes you. He only cares about getting his promotion that he's been waiting for for years. He says the same jokes over. When the whole class averaged 40 on an exam he yelled at the class saying he wasn't going to curve it because it was obviously our faults. When the whole class fails it was his.

He is passionate about his work, he studies plants. His exams, however, are impossible. No amount of studying helped, and his class was just extremely time consuming and hard. Choose a different professor!

Comment:

He is very smart but that gets in the way of him teaching. He's very hard to learn from and even when you think you know all the information for the exam, it's way more than you expected and you usually are completely lost and feel like you know nothing on the practicals. I studied a lot and all the time and still couldn't manage a B on an exam.
