Like him, but he believes must be hard to teach well. Still, you learn, but it is not fun, and is less interesting than it could be. Thinks if you question something he says that you are questioning him personally. Tries very hard to be fair. Cares, alot.

makes tests damn near impossible with his stupid essay questions. He's also an **** when it comes to attendance. 5% for every day u miss over 2 classes.

A bit condescending...but that is just his "modality, etc..., can u see this with your mind's eye?" As a black student, having a black professor to look up to is encouraging-I feel like I could go to Baker like a father-and that's what make

Professor Baker's class is Faaaaaaantastic! it is no cake walk though, but you will learn alot of information. He does make you 'earn' your grade and is helpful to see that you succeed. He is full of energy and a great professsor.

Great man! I graduated a year ago from DCCC- still remember vividly his teachings.

A FAAAAAANNNtastic addition to this institution of higher learning. If you want to enjoy your class as well as learn things this is the teacher to take. You do have to work to get your grade but he makes it all do-able. This guy knows his stuff ect....

He's a great teacher who actually knows what he's talking about, instead of reading off a power point slide. He's very intelligent which makes you step up as a student to do well.

He is a great teacher you have to work for your grade but if you show him that you are actually doing the work and wanting to learn he will help you. But if you show that you are not working he will look apst you if you are not as should any teacher!

This teacher is easy and fun

Excellent professor. Enjoys what he does and he knows exactly what hes talking about...check him out! He just wants to know that you know what hes teaching. Essays on quizes are easy if you study.

He is an excellent teacher. My major was business and when I took his class I changed my major to sociology. Take this teacher.

good teacher.. gives good notes.. if you want an A you will have to earn it, but its possible if you work hard.. nice guy.. highly recommended but be prepared to work

took tv class - didn't meet him - easy class - easy A - very helpful, wanted to see his students succeed. take TV class!!!

If you are ready to work hard then take him. Nice guy who loves what he does. Just make sure you know your stuff!!

He is very helpful, always willing to help, his door is never closed, you must be prepared to work, like everything you get what you put in it. very passionate about life and his job, A professor you can depend on for a wealth of knowledge. Excellent professor.

He was a great professor. He gave great examples, and really wanted you to enjoy sociology. It's not a hard class but you do have to work hard to do well. All said and done I was glad to take this class and would recommend it to anyone.

Awesome teacher. He was hard but he kept you on your toes!!! He made sure you did your reading at night cuz he was quizzing every day for test points and you had to do your reading cuz you looked really dumb in class if you got an answer wrong.

Very enthusiastic - Show up regularly (85% of the time) and take notes, you will do well. Nuff said.

Great/enthusiastic teacher. Better take good notes, don't miss class and study but he's an excellent teacher. Take good notes and you'll do great. He is an awesome guy who likes to shape young minds

His class is very hard. He's nice teacher you will laugh in his classes but you gotta EARN your grade. EAARN! <cough><cough> EARN!!! <cough><cough> EAAARRNN!!!! got it?

He was one of the best professors I've encounter to date. What you learn in his class will change you perception of the world and possible even cause you to change you major. I DID. I recommend you be prepared to really learn if you are going to take his class.

One of the most engaging, inspirational profs I've even had. He gives you the notion that Delco is a great place to better yourself. Made me believe in myself again! Leaving his class is like the end of your favorite show - you just wanna stay and hear more.

outstanding! the most VALUABLE course you can take, go to class, open your eyes and ears, and speak up.

I took marriage and family online and it was relatively easy as long as you did the work. All the tests and quizzes were online and timed. The questions on the tests were right from the book and so you needed to have it right in front of you. Make sure you print out all the power point presentations and watch all his video lectures.

Awesome teacher...can be a little arrogant at times...but hey why shouldnt he be?

Good Professor,he really makes sure you understand the concepts. There are pop quizzes, but he warns you about them. There is also a group project to do but its not that difficult and you are graded individually so do your work and you'll be fine. He is a really good professor that helps you EARN your grade.

I actually took his class a couple of years ago. I took Social Problems and had absolutely no problems with him. He is a great asset to the Soc department and really enjoys his work. He was very down to earth and approachable. He also made an effort to learn the names of everyone in the class. His classes fill very quickly.

AWESOME TEACHER ! very amusing and keeps you intrested . I still remeber alot of what he taught me. I'm planning on taking him again. FUN CLASSS i highly recomment him

He's such a good teacher and a really nice guy. He makes every topic interesting. His class isn't an "easy A" but you'll definitely learn a lot. I always enjoyed going to his class.

i'm takin his class now. i think he cool, it's just that he talks to fast. but he keeps u laughin and he wants u to learn. he also gives quiz points. and there is a group project. do your work and you'll be ok

He is an awesome teacher, and he really wants you to learn to see the big picture; afterall, that what sociology is about, looking at this as a whole and then differentiating between the many entities w/in a bureaucracy. As he would say,"He does not give grades, but you will earn your grade in his class." He keeps you alert, informed, and you will

Extremely good at teaching you information, but often difficult to comprehend the format for assignments.

I LOVE BAKER...sike he was a cool teachers talk with big words and very fast but he was cool def had to work hard in his class and not an easy A but u learn alot his quiz were ridiculously hard

Baker is what you expect when signing up for college courses. He is more of a lecture teacher but if you are willing to put in the work to learn, you will enjoy his class and you will leave knowing alot more information than you had before you took his class. Forces you to learn; if you dont plan on working in his class, he will tear you a part.

Took his class online during Summer 2. It was a lot of reading and his tests definitely made you think. Don't think you can't be familiar with the material since it's online and can use text for tests. All in all it was a good class and would take a class with him again.

Different method of teaching, may not be tangible for everyone, but if it works for you, you will do excellent. Overall amazing teacher and a good person, yes he loves to hear himself talk, but he adds humor to the class which really helps. Only thing I have "against" him is the presentation assignment was not fully explained; but its easy.

He is a very good prof. He teaches in the Socratic method so if you know this doesnt work with you then don't take his class. but for me it helped me learn. It was my 3rd time taking sociology and it came very easy when i had him. I highly recommend his class as he also gives valuable life lessons.

really good professor at how he makes you memorize the material. you dont use the textbook except for the project we had and to study for the finals. tests and quizzes are usually a little tough, but if you attend class and do well on the project, you'll easily pass

He loves to hear himself talk! He's very clear and comprehensible. He repeats everything all the time! "Questions, Issues, concerns, problems, things you want to discuss, things you want me to be aware of".. those are his facvorite words. Anyhow, be prepared always! He calls on you. No need to raise your hand. Very tough! Goodluck!

He's annoying, but a great teacher. He's fair and his tests aren't too hard if you read the text and go to class. He's very strict though! There's always a sign in sheet and he speaks with authority and sometimes seems cocky.

would not recommend taking his online class.

Professor Baker is an intelligent man. Most people say his classes are hard, but they're really not. He makes you remember the material by repeating himself every day. If you go to class every day and pay attention there's no way you can fail the class. People who don't like his class are people who don't feel the need to EARN their grades.

If you think this is an easy A, you are sadly mistaken!! This online course was hard for me and I normally get A's and B's in the classroom!! It is open book, of course, but the hardest open book, ever!!! He is very demanding, but thorough. Stay on top of his lectures and the reading material...you'll need it, good luck :-)

Baker is a professor that makes it pretty hard to fail his class if you just show up. If you show up and retain the material you will be fine. Questions, issues, concerns, problems, things you want to discuss, things you want me to be aware of?

Baker is a very tough teacher however it is manageable. He wants his students to master the information not just get by with an easy A. If you study, keep up with the readings, and participate in class you can get an A. Baker as a professor is recommended for those who have a large interest in the field of Sociology.Not for the faint of heart.

This guy repeats the terminology used on tests at least 20 times each in class(no lie.) Not only that but he is funny. Also, he makes the surprisingly useful material interesting. Chuck Baker was the best professor I had at DCCC.

He was alright for a teacher. He told me my grade was a B. He talks alot though.

He uses old school techniques that made me wanted to prepare for his class. One of my best teachers at DCCC.

He's a great teacher posts videos as well as power points. The only thing I didn't like for this online course was that you cannot see your grades and he isn't specific so you can track how you're doing.

I took this class online and it was to stinking easy... 2 quizes, 1 midterm 1 final all straight out the book (i used the glossery never read the chpters got a B on every test).. not a lot of work to turn in 1 fill in the blank assignment due every week.

Professor Baker is a great teacher. As long as you put in the work he asks you to, you will never receive a bad grade. He gives students all they need to succeed, but does not give hand outs like most students are accustomed to. If you fail, its on you.

good teacher very understanding but needs to show up and always be ready he will call on in class and u NEED to know the answer but he is always willing to work with you if your failing plus u get quiz points for tutoring if you go

I took online and his syllabus was spot on, so you are aware of whats expected of you. Probably wouldn't take classroom course since his personal video lectures was not my favorite part of the course.

Baker is awesome but if you want to be lazy and just expect an A this is not the class for you. He definitely makes you work for it, but that's what college is about.

I took Professor Bakers class for SOC 110. He is a very fair and realistic professor. He runs his classroom in an orderly way. Theres no raising of hands he calls on whoever for the answer and if you are keeping up with the work the questions are on spot. Even missed a test and he worked with me to make it up due to a documented illness.

You really have to work for this grade. He is very engaging with the class. He calls on random people at random times to answer questions but he is really cool. Good Luck!

Good course, intellectually challenging. Get ready to work hard. If you work hard, it will pay off. Not an easy class, but he is a good professor. Overall I learned a lot, and I am happy to have taken his course. He wants his students to break their comfort zone. At first, his approach was slightly overwhelming, but you get used to it.

Baker is the best professor I've ever had. As people have said, he calls on people randomly(minimal hand raising) which forces you to read the material and work for your grade. Because if not, you know theres a chance you will be called on and not know the answer. Would ABSOLUTELY take Baker again.

This guy is really tough, he has high expectations and he will call you out if you're slacking. You have to work hard for your grade. He can be condescending at ties and make you feel dumb. All in all though, he keeps your attention at all times, & he is a great teacher who knows his craft well. I struggled in his class, but I remember the material

I took Baker's accelerated online Sociology course. The class was essentially reading his entire textbook in the 7 week course. That being said, if you do the required reading, it's a class you should be able to ace. I had very limited interaction with the professor, but he seemed nice in the few emails we exchanged.

Currently taking his course (sociology 110) Professor Baker is seriously easy if you study! Take notes during his lectures. If you don't understand what he's talking about, you don't even have to ask him. He reads your face expressions and tries to clarify more. Scored a 95 on his midterm that's how easy he is, next up is the final! Just study!!!!!

Read the reviews before meeting Baker and was terrified... Got to class expecting the worst and Baker was actually very funny and down to Earth, yet very serious about teaching all at the same time. Made it very clear we will EARN the grade we get.. only in week 2 now, hopefully will successfully pass this class

Dr. Baker is clear that he is there to teach and if we(the students) are there to learn, we will pass with a good grade. He keeps everyone engaged during lectures. He does not let class out before the allotted time and although I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong on my papers he is a fair grader and knows the subjects he is teaching.

Baker doesn't lecture

In this college course, you're a student, not a nobody. Terrible, right? Listen, participation earns you quiz points-good, eh? But that means you have to read, too. He won't embarrass you if you get an answer wrong-you just don't get a point. To be fair, accepting the responsibilities as a student, starts with being informed. Hope this helps.

Dr. Baker, in my personal opinion is the kind of teacher every school needs. I enjoyed his class, his lectures did one of two things, mad you think or laugh. Yes you will earn the grade you deserve. Just remember what you as a student put into your education is what you get out of it.

This class is awesome if you're in school to learn. Attendance is MANDATORY, you don't want to miss class. You need to read that textbook. He will call on students at random. But over all, Baker knows his stuff. Just be ready to WORK. Pop-quizzes at random, know your textbook and STUDY. Oh god, STUDY. Note cards will be your friend in this class.

Hands down great professor .. Read other comments here I'm pretty sure these kids just don't like to put work in. He knows if you put in work or not ... Get ready for the real world children lol.

I believe he wrote the text book actually but he's the only professor I know that uploads lecture videos which I thought was great. He also gave short weekly quizzes that reflected the material . There's a lot of material to learn just read and make sure you have understanding , he's good responding. It's all about your effort

Most difficult class that I've had so far in the entirety of my college life, but he gives you the grade that you deserve so it was worth it. Definitely not an easy A class. You actually have to work for your grade. And if you'll be taking his class, please take it seriously because you probably won't get the grade you want if you just mess around.

Dr. Baker is an amazing professor, the grade you get in this class is the grade you EARN. You have to work hard for a passing grade. Class revolves around a research paper that you work towards all semester long and a couple quizzes. He might seem intimidating but he's easy to talk to. REACH OUT TO HIM if you have questions. Take this class serious

I had Dr. baker for Experiences in Diversity, which was an accelerated summer class. We should all be paying for professors like Dr. Baker, he is influential and a very good teacher. I've had many teachers that weren't worth what we are paying to take their class. Do yourself a favor and take his class, he will challenge you for your own good!

best professor I've had yet. He is text heavy but he is very motivating and makes you understand you get the grade you earn. You must study and come to class. he mixes humor and education well. if you are not willing to work for your grade don't join his class. I highly recommend him.

You definitely deserve the grade you work for. Yes, he's intimidating but that is what helped me learn personally. I thought this was going to be my worst class bc of what was written on here but honestly, it wasn't difficult at all. He had you do the research paper in sections and then gave good feedback each time. great guy

A really good professor. At first he seems like a freak, but he knows what he's talking about. If you read the textbook you will be fine. He calls on every singe student which can be annoying but it helps you come prepared. He gives pop quizzes which aren't hard if you're reading. If you're prepared he rewards you with quiz points

Ive been in school for 5 years now. I started at Delco, and continued at Temple U. Im writing this almost two years after I took Prof Bakers race and diversity class during summer 2017. Chuck Baker is to this day my top 2 professors Ive ever had. Do the work, ask questions and study terms. Theres is much to be learned from prof Baker.

Took the online class! Highly recommend that if you are able to teach yourself things. Class itself was okay, weekly 5 question homework to make sure you did the reading. Test, Midterm, and Final were all OPEN NOTES/ TEXTBOOK. Some questions weren't in material provided but not enough to stop you from getting an A in the class.

Dr. Baker really makes you think about real problems in the real world. You learn so much about other perspectives and how to challenge mental shortcuts. He also encourages discussion about conflicting topics which most teachers stray away from. One my my favorite teachers i've ever had!

Dr. Baker is certainly particular in how he wants his class run, and while it's unfortunate that you can't see your grades or assignments on Canvas, it wasn't that big of a deal to me. He will challenge you as a student and you'll finish the class feeling like you learned a lot. Put the work in and write the papers and you'll succeed.

Good text book. Syllabus clear. Lectures interesting. He covered many of the topics discussed in my psych class so it was a good foundation class. Grading problems cleared up quickly. Introduced me to societal theories, appreciated learning about.

Professor Baker knows his material and the content is meaningful. Be on top of your readings and have your notes and textbook for the exams because there is not much time for the tests. Extra credit for class participation. His examples and explanations illustrate the concepts very well. He was a tough-love professor. You're a legend Mr Baker!

He is very harsh and does not care about your personal story. If you just listen to and read the book, you should be fine for the most part. I personally loved him, but others highly disliked him.

If you liked to be challenged take his class.

Took this as an asynchronous class. He gives tests, but they were open book. You have to pass the tests to Pass the class. They are weighted heavily. He also wrote the book for the class he teaches, if that means anything. No papers, but a few short answer tests questions. I wouldn't mind taking him again if need be.

Dr. Chuck Baker provides well-structured and informative sociology modules that make learning easy to follow and understand. His materials are clear and detailed. Dr. Baker's course is an excellent option for anyone taking sociology online. His well-prepared modules make independent learning manageable and insightful!

It's good.

Dr. Chuck Baker reminds me of why academia is supposed to be earned, not given. He is an amazing lecturer, but a tough grader, nevertheless a very good and caring Professor.
