I don't know what she was like when other had her but I found her to be super-knowledgable, enthusiastic and accomodating. Although perhaps a little all over the place but so was our text. I learned a lot!

A very knowledgable teachers who knows her stuff. Teaches in a good pace, and seems like she has a passion for history. She gives good outlines so that you can keep track of her skipping around. Great professor.

She is a little weird but really sweet. Her class is easy. Alot of note taking, all her tests are from notes. She makes you do 5 response papers but fair grader.

This is a really good teacher, she is very helpful, and you only write a tiny amount each week on what you read, big deal. And she is very calm and informative. She is not annoyed when students are rude, she expects you to act like an adult, so if you can't do that, stay at home.

Wow, what lectures, drink coffee ahead of time. But, not much homework, a breeze class. Take notes if you are awake and read a tiny bit, do a paragraph on what you read each week.

I think she is a good teacher. Yes, she is a bit unorganized, but she is fair when it comes to testing. Her class is really laid-back. Not much reading and lots of extra credit. I don't know why people are complaining.

So nice and helpful. The class is super easy, and interesting.

She nt weird don't listen to that **. Hey, this is supr ezy omg. Chill sleep EZ A!

So fun! Loved the class, little reading assigments with tiny answers and tests, nothing else!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Culture interesting!!!!!!!!!!

Was really easy but she talks in a monotone and even with coffee you will be nodding off. She is hard to understand, like she gives a strange group project and then runs out of the room babbeling about other classes and what they did. Really weird, but easy, bring pillow or drool catcher.

Dr. Baker is really a sweet & caring teacher. I would say that she covers quite a lengthy time frame in our cultural history of America, & it is quite interesting. I feel that she loves what she does and she made it a great experience. She is a great person and great teacher. I like that she found some great & inexpensive texts for the course.

I can somewhat understand why some people think Allison is boring but this class was very interesting. Some lectures were boring but she is very clear and thorough on all the topics. Tests are multiple choice with an essay and are easy if you go to class and/or read the chapters. I would take a class from her again in a heart beat!

Professor Baker makes history interesting! During lectures she lets students comment or ask questions. Through out the semester you turn in 5 short papers. Make sure to turn all of them in on time. If you do not you will not qualify for extra credit later.

I liked her. She was a bit boring.. BUT she showed us videos and made the subject more interesting and it made sense. I rarely read the books and got a B. Anyone can pass this class. The tests were mult. choice and kinda easy

I read half the reading assignments and got an A. She makes you write 5 essays in response to the readings but they are extremely easy. She let's you make them up if you fail them. She accepts no late papers. Lectures were alright. I liked the videos. Lets you use a 1 pg outline for the exams.

Allison is a really sweet lady. I think she tries to keep the class interested in a really boring topic. As long as you actually show up to class and do the work, you'll get an A.

The class itself is very boring.It's mostly a lot of lecture and some boring history movies. I would actually read the history book during class to prep for the tests. Allison is really nice and tries very hard to keep the class interested. Just do the homework and you won't get worse than a B.

Motivated and helpful with easy coursework. Was able to extract a good amount from lecture, but in particular doesn't give an overly interesting lecture.

Gives an outline for you to download and take notes on. Only 500 points possible. Read the texts, and/or pay attention to her lectures you should be able to get decent grades on the 3 exams=300 points. Journals =100 points, make sure you do them all or you won?t qualify for extra credit later if you need it, class participation=100 points. Nice!

Love Ms. Baker! A little weird at times but always willing to help. Do all the journals and take notes.

Love Ms. Baker! A little weird at times but always willing to help. Do all the journals and take notes.

Great teacher: Very friendly, makes what could be boring somewhat interesting. Don't buy the book. All info needed is in the lecture. 3 tests (2 with essays), 5 essays (2page).

Easy class I dont know what all these people are complaining about Allison is a great teacher I learned a lot from her, her tests are difficult (only 2 per semester) and cover lots of material. Her slides are very well written and as long as you show up and do the journal assignments you will do fine. Shes very clear I recommended her. dontgetbook

This class can be a little boring, and it's basically US history, but you do learn some new facts. As long as you pay attention and take notes, and don't try to cheat on the journal assignments, it's pretty easy. Allison is very sweet and tries to answer questions, but many people don't ask very clearly, or they don't do the very easy assignments.

i liked her a lot. if you show up, take notes and study hard for the two tests, you will pass this class with flying colors. the material is very interesting, it's just a more accurate telling of US hist, and a little on womens' too. highly recommend. book helpful but not mandatory. save the cash

I swear she scans the room side to side every second when she talks

Not sure what all these people are complaining about. She's a super nice teacher and the material is pretty interesting. Too busy taking notes all class to get bored. I would recommend her, just wish there were more assignments throughout the semester to balance out the weight of the exams.

Tests count for most of the grade, but the class is enjoyable. Just read the chapter she assigns, study for the tests and you'll get at least an easy B-.

Easy and clear class as long as you pay attention. Reading helpful but not mandatory. Enjoyed perspective of class -- as long as you give a well thought out opinion you can do no wrong. (Ethics of Race and Gender)

Good teacher, really nice, just a bit disorganized. If you follow the criteria and do the readings you'll do just fine.

Professor Baker deserves more credit than she gets! I've taken two of her classes at the SRJC (History 21, History 17.2), and her classes are very easy and informative. She allows late work, doesn't require a textbook, and is an EASY grader. She cares about her students and I believe you won't regret her class!

Professor Baker was really kind and an easy teacher. Weekly discussions, 20 point tests every few weeks, and a pretty simple final. She gives 20 extra credit points at the end of every semester.

Professor Baker is great! This professor is very caring and makes the material interesting. I do not consider myself a "history" person, but I actually enjoy this class. Expectations for the class are clear, and very manageable. One thing I also love is that all of the materials are completely online & FREE. Definitely would recommend this prof!

I will agree with the other students on here that yes, she is an extremely tough grader and her lectures/ homework load is quite heavy, but I have NEVER been interested and fascinated by history in my entire life. Her lectures are set up in a brief way that's easily understandable and engaged my attention in a way I haven't been before.

I liked this class, learned a lot, interesting. She gives good feedback and assignments are very straightforward, discussion/ quizzes and paper writing. Follow directions, read all required material, do the work and you will pass. The books used in this class were cheap to rent, which is why I chose her class, HUGE PLUS! Thank you professor Baker!

I highly recommend professor Baker for your next history class she is very clear in the subject and material. You will have no trouble whatsoever to follow along and get a good grade in her class.

Very organized teacher with clear expectations & grading criteria. Most modules are two weeks long, with reading, a short quiz, and a discussion. Treat each discussion post as if it is a paper you are tuning in rather than a casual conversation and you will do fine! She gave extra credit, let people resubmit work & drops your lowest quiz score.

I took this class online and I highly recommend. She only assigned one assignment every two weeks, followed by a 20 point quiz. This class was a walk in the park. I put no effort in and I gotta B. The final was super easy just to write a short essay. She gives lots of extra credit highly recommend this teacher.

You have to actively try to not do well in her class. Her deadlines are incredibly reasonable and she gives helpful feedback. The class format is clear and easy to go through. This is not a challenging online class.

She is a great teacher. Do you work and you will get an A.

If you want a easy humanities class, Baker is the one for you. You basically only have 1 discussion a week and its just watching a few videos or reading a little and answering some questions. I highly recommend to fill your GE slot.

As long as you do the work you will pass. Decent amount of reading, but a reasonable amount of time it given to complete it. Discussion and quizzes are graded fairly and are easily completed as long as you read the material (which is actually interesting). Overall I reccomend Dr. Allison Baker!

Modules and tests were very straight forward and easy to understand. As long as you put in effort into your discussions and responses, you will receive full credit. She also offers many extra credit assignments that are similar to the modules. Overall a very interesting and straight forward class that I would take again.

For an online class, this was perfect. The work was broken up into three week units, and while everything felt daunting to look at, each unit took four hours to do if you understand how to work asynchronously. All tests/quizzes/discussions were untimed and open note. There is extra credit available and the class was well organized, take her class!

She is very passionate about her work and education. I learned a lot in this class. It was required for my GE but Im very happy I took it. Extremely easy class you just need to do the work which in my opinion was not that much or too difficult. She was great about responding to my questions.

Took Hist 17.1 online. I had a heavy workload and Baker's class was one of the least stressful. She tells you what will be on the quiz, so all you have to do is watch the lectures she provides (a few hours a week) and all the answers are there. Also, you get 2 weeks to complete one module that on average took me 1 full evening to complete.

Professor Baker's HIST21 class is a great option for an easy humanities credit. Manageable workload, clear expectations, and helpful feedback. unstuck study was a game-changer for study prep too.
