Class was 50/50 for me not super easy but not entirely hard. All he does is pass out power point packets and goes through each slide every single day.

Be prepared to take a quiz or test every weekend, and make sure that you show up to class everyday because you never know when a random quiz will pop up. They are usually just for attendance, but trust me they add up fast. Also I recommend forming a group with some classmates. That's what I did with three other people and it helped so much!

Above average workload. That, in essence, sums up his online human sexuality course. I've had advanced business courses that didn't require that much homework. I didn't enjoy the class at all.

There is a quiz and video assignment for every single chapter + discussions; there's a test for every 3-4 chapters + a final, if you happened to bomb one of your tests. Accessible and nice teacher.

This class was very straightforward and easy. We had to purchase an online textbook that had the course system build in. We had a discussion every week based on the chapter we read in the book. We had a test every 4 chapters we read. Overall, the class was very easy and informational.

Professor Baker's class was an enlightening experience. His human sexuality class was not only informative but relatable. He was also very kind and understanding of his students. I thoroughly enjoyed his class and would recommend everyone, regardless of their major, to take his human sexuality class.

This class was the best class I had for Spring 21. I took it to fulfill my reqs to get into UoP and I had a lot of fun. Just be mindful of due dates and make time for homework and textbook work and you should be fine. You learn a lot about others and its a class where you should know how to study for yourself to learn.

Professor Baker is one of my favorite Professors by far since I attended Delta College. He allows everyone to retake quizzes if you want a better score. By having good scores on your test and quizzes, he gives you the option to take the Final Test.

Definitely get ready to read in this class. I'm not sure if it's the same with in-person classes but he had us read 3 chapters a week, which was equivalent to at least 4 hours of notes a day. The class is very time consuming and is focused on reading out of the text book and taking notes, weekly discussions, and small weekly quizzes.

I took this class in summer school online- Professor Baker excellent teacher and content so important. Syllabus was clear, he reminded us what is due, discussion/quizzes and had great links to read. Do your reading/discussions/Revel- definitely take from him-you will enjoy the opening song he chose-This should be taught to Seniors in high school!

Amazing professor! Assignments include reading and quizzes using Revel. Every couple chapters there is a test on Canvas. There is a video or article to read every week and a quiz to go along with it. There is also 1 or 2 discussions per week and you must respond to two classmates. No essays! Final is optional. 100% recommend this professor!

The course load was manageable and predictable. Each week's hw can be finished in about 2 hours. I had gone to his in-person class a couple of times and he was very interactive and made the class really enjoyable. I would recommend his in-person class for people who have time and want a professor who is very engaging.

Almost all of the classwork is on Revel, accessed through Canvas. It's really just reading and learning, then answering short multiple-choice questions. There are some class discussions as well, and they're pretty easy because you just watch some videos or TED Talks and then answer questions. I recommend Dan Baker, especially for this class!

Loved this class. Looked forward to the discussions every week. Not a boring class. Your grade consists on how well you do on the quizzes, discussions, and the tests so reading is mandatory. The final is optional if you do well throughout the course & will drop the lowest test grade.
