Dr. Baldwin was an amazing teacher. He was well prepared for class, made a difficult subject easy and we had a lot of fun too. We had six essays to write in the semester and had a lot of support. If you want an A in the class and are willing to put a little effort in it, you got it!

While he does grade slowly, he grades very well. He gives great feedback that really helped me improve my writing. Only a 1500 research paper due at the end which you are working on the entire length of the class and two debates. While class discussions can be controversial, he keeps them fair and balanced and makes everyone feel welcome to talk.

I came to him about an issue I was having, and basically said that sucks. And refuses to help. Professors are meant to help you succeed, and this was NOT it. If you dont read, you wont pass. Also, he will mark you absent if you are mentally absent. Honestly, not worth the stress. Just pick a different professor. A lesson learned the hard way.

Prof. Baldwin was great! He gets to know his students and cares about them. Make sure you complete readings before class so you can get discussion points. He gives feedback on essays and allows you to do peer reviews so you have ample time so create a great essay. He isnt too strict on attendance and allowed us 3 absences. Overall, a great prof!

If you miss an assignment he gives you negative points. I missed an assignment but he gave me -100 points which tanked my grade and made it almost impossible to get it up. It seems unfair to give students negative points for missing assignments, a 0 is enough. If you miss 3 assignments he automatically fails you, no matter what your grade was.

It is impossible to succeed in this class. He expects you to be familiar with his material. He uploads assignments and doesn't provide instructions. He gives negative points if you miss assignments; a -20 on a discussion is too extreme when a 0 would've been ok. Also, missing two assignments means you automatically failed his class.
