Very helpful professor who fosters discussions very well. Has a great understanding of political philosophy and explains difficult ideas very clearly. You'll have to participate in class and read some difficult essays, but its not too bad. Great prof.

Loved this class & Dr. Baehr! She's passionate about the material and gets us all to think and have group debates/discussions. Lots of work involved but it's worth it. Definitely take her class!!

Great Teacher, seems Hard, but she grades pretty easily and just participate and enjoy the class, because her discussions are entertaining most of the times

Easy grader + a fun subject = An awesome class!

Prof. Baehr is one of the fairest graders.

Very intelligent professor who relates well with students and relates topics to current events students can relate to. Highly recomended.

She is NOT an easy grader in upper-level Philosophy classes. With that said, she is a fair teacher with a terrific grasp of the subject. The texts assigned are fairly interesting and enjoyable to read. No tests in her Phil. of Law class, only essays.

One of my favorite teachers of all time. She's really nice and made the class interesting and really fun. Highly recommended. Also, you have to ask her about her toddler son, Carl Basille-Baehr.

An understanding woman with a clear grasp of the subject matter. She's a very nice, bright scholar that issues fair grades. Also retains captivating class discussions. Expect a fair share of reading.

very interesting class, discussions were great. it was really hard but maybe that's because i was a freshman the readings were difficult too. don't argue with her unless you mean it because she will make you feel really stupid, but she'll appreciate it

Great teacher !! One of my favorites so far!!

Great prof. explains everything. easy assignments. no tests. very nice.

Take her if you're interested in philosophy, otherwise you might find the class a little boring. She's a very nice woman though, and I havent noticed any bias in her class.

Very easy coarse, boring though. 1 Midterm, 8 each reaction papers, and a take home final essay. She might be suspect but the class is easy with her.

ALthough it seems as if my fellow hofstra students think that professor baehr is biased burt she is not. She is clear and is a great facilitator of conversation.

Although my classmates despised her in my opinion, she did a good job in engaging the class. In some respects, her questions killed conversations, but on a whole her classes always had a good sort of philosophical debate which personally I found interesting. A fair grader, final and midterm was fair

Maybe the reason prof. Baehr "didn't listen" to your ideas was beacuse they were BAD? Everyone complained that she disagreed with them but the fact is that she read those books damn well and knew her stuff. Her arguments were naturally better and interesting to boot. Clear, helpful, and fair.

I don't know about her ability to teach C&E (the program forces her to teach under someone else's syllabus), but in her own classes (I've taken 2) she is open minded, enlightening and quite the fair grader. I would not hesitate to take her again; her legal philosophy classes provide for an unparalleled pre-law foundation. Absolutely take her.

By far one of the most intelligent professors at Hofstra. Engaging questions to class, always keeps you thinking and questioning yourself. Readings she assigned could be a bit long winded, but pertainant to class discussion, so youd better read them! I

She was my prof for many Phil classes. She's a big lib, but thoughtful. She wants you to do well and many things she has said have stayed with me. She's the reason why I was a phil major.

An incredibly nice and well-mannered woman. The reading material is a bit tough, but if you stick with it, you should be fine.

If you have an opportunity to take this class absolutely take it! Prof. Baehr is really chill and down to earth. She's clearly a Liberal but she keeps her political philosophy to herself until the end of the semester. Big Discussion class, you talk about sex and good stuff like that! Attendence is a must but trust me you will not want to miss class

excellent class..prof. beahr is extremely intelligent and knows a good deal about the material. lectures are enjoyable, she encourages class discussions..one of the better professors i've had at hofstra.

Professor Baehr is weird but in a good facilitating thought sort of way. Do the readings, be engaged, write well and have fun.

Really nice professor. Knows her material really well and makes class discussions interesting. I think personally that she grades essays really hard, but her midterm was graded easily, so we'll see how the final goes. You learn a great deal in the course and it pretty much sticks with you throughout the course because she refers back. Take her...

Reading the text is a must. Once you participate in the class it's not boring at all. We had some great debates and I really enjoyed it. She assigns a bunch of papers but you only have to do 5, or do more to drop the lowest grades. She's funny too. Always available to help students out during her office hours. Final was easy as hell.

great class and professor, she's fair and very helpful, just do the assignments and attend class and you should be fine

She is a great professor, very clear and makes the material easy to understand. Sometimes the class is boring but mostly she makes it fun. It's not necessary that you do the readings because she ALWAYS goes over it in class. You have to write 5 1-page papers plus a midterm and final. Great class, great prof, definitely recommend!

she is awesome. the subject itself is boring but she tries to make it interesting by letting the students debate. you really dont have to do the readings cause thats what the lecture is about and she gives little work. i def recommend her and this class.

She's perhaps a little too forgiving, but that may be in part due to the nature of the class I. She's very thorough in explaining things, her assignments make sense, and she encourages class participation and discussion. A

Baehr tried to teach the C&E material as best as possible, but she also went her own way a lot and applied it to her subject (philo). She's very laid back, easy grader, reasonable, but she got a bad rap because kids were bitter about mediocre grades. She's a bit nutty, but if thats the type of professor you like then take her. Not bad for C&E

TAKE HER. She makes the otherwise boring material very interesting and relevant and she's so funny! A really smart lady, I loved this class very much.

Dr. Baehr is fair and extremely engaging. Always treats students well and recognizes the merit of your thoughts. Charmingly quirky. Classes feel like a group of colleagues rather than classmates. Stimulating discussions and great contextual examples in discussion. Deducts points for missed classes and lateness, though. Give her a shot!

I took her in Summer I. She was great. Tests and quizzes are open notebook but you still must study and prepare for them! She makes borning philsophy concepts interesting and she's very helpful. If you participate and ask questions, you are guaranteed to do well!

i have nothing but good words to say about her! i had to take this for a grad requirement & im happy i prof baehr. she is so easy and makes class enjoyable-easy 1 question quizes every class & drops the lowest 6, one easy paper, one easy final that she gives u the questions before hand. a lot of reading but u can just google everything.. TAKE HER!!

Dr. Baehr is one of the greatest teachers here at Hofstra. The material she chooses to cover and the way she presents it is clear, interesting and engaging among so many other things. She will have you considering a philosophy major/minor at the end of the course! Overall, a wonderful professor!

She's an interesting character. Easy to get an A if you participate in class. Attendance is "mandatory" but as long as you remain below a certain number your attendance grade may not affect your overall grade. Tests come from her notes rather than the textbook. Study and you will pass. Taking her again next semester because she's easy! Recommended.

Dr. Baehr is a sweetheart and is very interested in her work. She is hilarious and will definitely engage you even if you are uninterested. She doesn't require a textbook which is like an angel descended and if you do the work, you will get results! Don't be afraid to ask for help, she is always willing to provide it! Take!

I'd taken Baehr before & gotten a A so I thought this would be equally easy. It was, actually, really easy as long as you do all the work & at least read a paragraph of each reading to keep up with discussions in class, which make up a lot of your grade. Got an A- b/c of constant lateness though, so be careful. Easy, but strict with small things.

She is a good professor. Is easy and very cool. Makes the class interesting with the ethicist and asking for everyone's opinion. We used a book in the class but i just printed out summaries and I knew everything that was going on. Go to every class and participate you will get an A !!

I'm not one to resort to online forums often, but I needed to rate Professor Baehr because I want everyone to know how sweet she is! As a freshman, she asked me how I was adjusting to college and really seemed to care about me - even outside the classroom. She's definitely a professor you should get to know personally! Love her! (Almost no HW)

Someone keeps posting negative things and that's why her rating on here is so low. She is my favorite professor and if you don't like her, you are doing something wrong. I got 100 on a final (maybe because I was interested in it) but she is a great mentor, I love her and you will too! You must take at least one of her classes before you graduate!

One of the best professors I've had in a long time. The readings are a bit hard to read through but she does a great job of explaining everything you need to know. If you come to class, pay attention, and take good notes you'll do fine. There's 2 papers and a final. It's also really nice that she uses attendance as an extra way to boost your grade.

She's the nicest professor I've ever taken. She makes really difficult concepts easy to understand and she's always there for you if you have a problem turning in your paper on time. Take her. You won't regret it

Crazy good. If you want to learn she's the one . Breaks down the class and is super helpful .

A lot of reading but I stopped doing it after week 3. She goes over what you were supposed to read in class anyway so no point in doing it. Baehr isn't boring at all and you can tell she really loves what she does. She loves questions and will answer anything or clarify for you. No written homework, 1 midterm paper, 1 final paper and 1 final exam.

She's honestly fantastic. Take this course. I took it with her and Jenny Rich, and they are a wonderful team.

Professor Baehr is so caring and makes class enjoyable. The Class is based off discussion and does not involve heavy lectures. The readings are all posted on blackboard. Be prepared to do all the assigned readings. The essay quizzes and class discussion is based off of the readings

Baehr is the bomb!!!! Hopefully she will postpone the due date for our fugitive slaw law paper

She is a friendly woman who is pretty understanding about people being late, absent, or who struggle with assignments. She works with students and generally tries to help us succeed. She wants you to do well. Would take again.

Love Professor Baehr, this is my third time taking her. Super kind and considerate, is so well-versed in both philosophy and the law. If you're nice, pay attention, and do the work, it'll be an easy A.

Sweetest little lady. So passionate about her work and so creative. She's the reason I picked up a Philosophy minor. Absolutely take her if you want to think outside of the box and develop new ideas about things you didn't know you cared about.

Absolute sweetheart! She lectures but it's mostly a discussion based class delving deeper into intense issues. She encourages mature discussions that help you consider new perspectives. She only gave 4 papers and will tell you exactly what she's looking for. She actually cares about her students and is willing to work with you. TAKE HER

Prof. Baehr is seriously the sweetest woman in existence. The class is very discussion oriented and super interesting. Highly recommend taking!

I took Professor Baehr's online PHI15 class over summer break. Overall it was a good class, but there is a TREMENDOUS amount of work. A reading, quiz, discussion board posts, and a paper are due everyday. If you plan on taking her online, make sure you dedicate enough time because it's very easy to fall behind.

I really liked Dr. Baehr's class. There was more work than I was used to (4 6-page papers) and close to 1hr of reading before each class. The class itself was easy; discussion + very little lecture. Participate, put in effort & you do well. She definitely takes grading pretty seriously but she's very caring and if you do your best, you'll be fine.

Professor Baehr is a good teacher. She provides you with feedback when you work on papers which is helpful. Shes also caring and almost always available for office hours. She has a bad habit of ignoring students sometimes because she gets caught up in lectures but other than that, shes still a nice lady. She can also be funny sometimes. ��������

great professor. very kind and engaging. tests are essays but she goes over all the questions and tells us how to format them so not too bad. topics are interesting and would definitely recommend taking her classes!

Class was a little boring. Wish she didnt use her unpublished textbook. Shes nice, pretty fair and easy.

Baehr is amazing, she's really nice. Materials we learn in class are from her unpublished textbook, she is a great writer and you'll be able to understand the material very easily. I wrote a total of 2 papers in this class. this class will not stress you out. Take her class if you want a low-key class in your schedule

She's really passionate about the subject and you can tell by the way she talks, I personally loved that she used her own textbook for two main reasons 1) it was easy to understand and she's more than happy to clarify anything if you have any trouble, and 2) it wasn't $100+. She does lecture quite a bit but she loves and encourages participation.

She's great. You have to do a lot of readings, but she also spells them out for you in her lectures. She doesn't overload you with written assignments, and is one of the most understanding professors i've met. She really loves it when people participate, and you can tell she puts in a lot of effort. Her assignment instructions are also very clear

Baehr is one of the best professors I have ever had. The entire class was participation basically. Do the readings before the class and then raise your hand and challenge an ethics question and you'll be fine. I loved this class and I will be taking her again.

The professor is really engaging and the discussions in this class are super interesting. Definitely do the readings beforehand - they're not too difficult and will help you participate. I found Unstuckstudy and ChatGPT great for exam prep. Overall, a pretty low-stress class.

Shes extremely knowledgable on everything she teaches. Super fun lectures, she really has a talent for keeping things interesting even if its a boring subject. Professor Baehr only gave a few essays and was very nice when grading, I got mainly B+'s and A-'s and I am NOT a good writer whatsoever.

She's a very nice professor and cares for your success. Beware the class is very writing heavy with participation involved and to be fair, it's fairly easy to do well. Even if she doesn't agree with you or if your answer is wrong, she won't penalize you. I feel I learned a lot about the material and I can't wait to hopefully take her again.
