She was so sweet and such an easy teacher. She'd be like "there MAY be a quiz tomorrow" which meant there was one...as if the warning was necessary, the quizzes were so easy if you even skimmed a story/play. She was so easy..so so easy!

she's a pretty cool teacher. she has few essays, but is kind of tough on grading. she's pretty much straight foward with what she expects from her students. i'd take from her again.

very sweet, clear, boring lectures, not so easy paper grader, but very easy quizzes

she is a nice lady- grades hard on papers- easy quizzes but they only count as 10 percent of your grade- the only other part of your grade comes from essays and they are 10 percent each as well- attendance policy..you can miss 6

without a doubt she is the nicest teacher on campus, but just the opposite when it comes to grading essays. i don't see how anyone could come out of this class with an A for the semester. no notes and very little homework, but 90% of your grade is essays.

nice teacher, stress free environment, but the b+/a doesnt seem to come with the package, just seems like no matter what i did i received a C. If you are content with a C however go for it :)

sweetest lady ever. lets us out of class when you ask. grades hard though, but it will definetly improve your writing skills

so boring...found it hard to keep my eyes open and i had an afternoon class...little homework, but grades hard on papers. i wouldn't take her again.

Had her for two semesters...little homework, no notes in class...however kinda boring and hard to stay awake. She seems to pick one grade and stick to it, so if you're lucky and make a good one she'll stay with it! Let's you out early when you ask

She is a very sweet lady, but the class seems to drag on forever. She lets you out early at least once per week, though. Loves lots of detail in her papers (which aren't very long) and is a strict grader, will help you out if you ask her to.

Such a nice teacher, you can tell she enjoys this subject. Very few papers, easy topics and they only average about 2 pages. No notes, little reading, and she will let you out on occasion. I love her!

I loved Mrs. Baker, she is so nice. You can tell she loves the subject. Very easy quizzes, but will talk for ages about a story. Easy, short papers, and I think she grades very fair. Can miss 5 days. Def. take this class!

Great Professor. She grades hard on papers, but is helpful if you ask. She greatly improved my writing skills. I wish I could take her class again.

I had her for 2 semesters. She is the nicest lady but her class is a bore. I could not stay awake in there for anything! She grades very, very, very strict also.

She is very nice, but also VERY BORING! She spends weeks on topics that can be finished in one or two class periods. She is a difficult grader and takes FOREVER to get papers graded. SO if you like to have your paper back within a reasonable period- get a different teacher.

I loved prof. baker. I thought her class was very boring but other than that it was great. she really loves the subj. and she tries to get the class involved during the discussion. the quizzes are really easy and there are no tests. She grades really strictly on the papers but if you have good ideas you will do fine.

If you want to do well in this class, you HAVE to see her during her office hours.. I got a D on my first paper, and after going to see her during office hours numerous times throughout the smester, I got an A- on the final paper and a B in the class. She's a really nice lady once you get to know her, but the class seems to drag on. Daily pop quiz

She's nice, but the class is kind of boring and do not take the class at 8:00 in the morning! The homework is easy, just read and sometimes take a quiz about the stories. However, she grades papers really tough!! I did not do very well on my first essay paper! I think she is a really hard grader!

Dr. Baker is perhaps the hardest on grades that a professor can be. She claims she will give A's but I think she gave about 2 on all the papers all semester. If you take her be resigned to the fact you will not get an A. She is more than happy read your papers prior to turning them, it can mean the difference between a B and a C

I loved prof. Baker! Do not listen to the others. I got an A+ on the last paper worth 30% of our grade and I would not consider myself an exceptional writer; however, i did work very hard on the paper. She can be boring in lecture, though. I would definitely say that her grading is fair!

Nice teacher. Understood that most of us didn't want to be there but had a sense of humor about it. Don't expect to get A's on essays if you don't spend much time on them. Let us miss 5 classes regardless of excuses.

Mrs.Baker is really nice and an easy grader in my opinion. Class sometimes seemed to drag on but otherwise it was an enjoyable, easy course.

GREAT PROFESSOR

Her classes do tend to drag on but i believe she is more than fair on grading papers, and always warns us ahead of time if we're going to have a test/quiz. We don't have THAT many papers to write (3-4) and we don't get a lot of hw apart from reading a short story or two, overall a good class, probably will take her for engish 102

I had prof Baker for two semesters. She is easy once you get her style. Readings are assigned before every class and she gives quizzes on the majority of them. If you are a decent writer and do not mind being bored out of your mind, shes perfect.

Ppl looking for a real review look here: AVOID THIS PROFESSOR. A very nice woman who means very well, but her grading is absolutely ridiculous (admitted to only giving 4 A's my semester). She teaches with absolutely no charisma or character, and you will find yourself dreading everyday you walk in to listen to her lectures irrelevant to the grades.

Does grade papers harshly but EASY class if you do the assignments. Only 3-4 papers this course is mostly reading and quizzes. If you read the stories you'll be fine I got 100s on every quiz. If you get a grade on a paper you don't like talk to her about it and she'll tell you what to fix in order to pull up grade

She's a really nice person and to an extent I was interested in the content of the class but she is heinously boring unfortunately... The class mainly consists of being given reading assignments which she will then explicate to you in class, leaving no real room for discussion or analysis by the students. Workload is pretty mild.

love ms. baker. such a sweet lady. I took her for english 110 (very hard...) and chose to take her for detective fiction the next yr. awesome class. very fun. points are 100% quizzes, so if you don't read, prepare to fail miserably! read the books (which are all great) and the quizzes are on a 1st grade comprehension level. take her. I love her!

Found this class incredibly boring and repetitive. basically learn the same thing you learn in high school about analyzing,grammar, spelling etc. She just stands in front of the class and talks the whole time and nobody participates. Easy if you read the stories and put effort into the paper.

Elizabeth Baker is a very nice person although she is a very harsh grader. Make Sure you read the assigments.

Your grade is two essays, a revision essay, a research paper, and quiz average. Dr. Baker is pretty picky when grading essays, but she's always willing to look them over and give you pointers before it's due. Reading quizzes are really specific. Class is mostly discussion, can be boring but glad I had her. I'm not a very good writer but got an A-.

She is a great professor. Her homework reading assignments from the textbook are interesting, insightful, and thought provoking. The essays for he class, after the first summary and analysis, are open topic (within general guidelines) so they're much more fun to right. She's incredibly fair and always willing to help anyone who needs or wants it.

She is smart and selects interesting readings. At times, however, she doesn't know how to engage students in discussion.

Had this at 8 in the morning. Mostly lectures and they aren't very interesting at that. I loved her as a person, she was super sweet and cares about her students. She makes her self available and helps out as much as she can. No tests, only a few papers.

Took her for an 8am class. She talks a lot during pointless lectures, but gives good feedback on papers. It's definitely not an easy A even if you have taken AP classes. I really like her and would recommend her.

Fave professor at cofc. Not especially interesting lectures but love her!!

Professor Baker is a lovely lady and she makes herself available for her students. I had her at 8am, three days a week and that was difficult. She is such a sweet person but her lectures are long and redundant. She takes a while to give back papers, but when she does she gives you great feedback. She's also a tough grader.

She is a nice woman but has somehow made my Detective Fiction class incredibly boring. I was very excited for this class and expected book club like discussions. Instead, she has us read stories then spends over an hour retelling the plot as a lecture. As far as grades go, the class is rather easy if you do the readings.

She is so caring and sweet. She mostly gives lectures and reading assignments. But she goes over everything in detail so no one gets confused. Only 4 papers during the whole semester. She does give out reading assignments from the textbook, but just talks about what we read the whole next class. The few articles we read are SO GOOD too.

If you have the opportunity to take Professor Baker, definitely do it! She's extremely kind, helpful, caring, motivating, and funny. Professor Baker teaches at a great pace and wants her students to succeed. Speeches are easy if you put forth the effort. Extra credit opportunities! Responds to emails quickly. You won't regret taking this Professor!

Very helpful with feedback

She is very passionate about english. She takes forever to grade so you really arent sure where you stand. She also takes her job very seriously however, she really cares for her students. Her class is very boring but her workload isnt too bad compared to other classes. She is very nice and understanding.

I really enjoyed having Professor Baker, despite sometimes having boring lectures. Overall, she definitely improved my writing and formatting skills, and I learned some interesting things in her class as well. She is very compassionate, so don't be afraid to ask questions. Definitely participate too because it'll help your grade in the end.

She was the sweetest women! Would always give you an extension if you asked and never overwhelmed students with work. She truly understood what it's like to be a student. Gives clear feedback on all essay drafts and gives you chance to improve them before your final grade. Lectures can get a bit boring but overall it was a very manageable class.

Professor Baker is a lovely woman and this is not a difficult class. She does take quite a long time to grade and her schedule changes often, but this class did not require lots of time and dedication to earn an A. Just show up to class, read the required material, and turn stuff in on time and you will do fine.

Ms. Baker was great! She was accessible for questions/concerns outside of class and super caring! She is quite unorganized with time management and ended up cutting an entire essay from our class curriculum. She was also very late on getting feedback back to students but was not a harsh reader by any means. Discussion participation is required.

Ms. Baker's class is manageable if you stay on top of things. Lectures can be dry, but she's understanding and gives helpful feedback. I found unstuck AI great for essay prep - worth checking out!

Professor Baker is very nice and had several days where she held extra office hours instead of class. There were a few discussion posts and 3 essays so not many grades overall. It's very hard to stay tuned in during lectures because she tends to repeat herself or just reread the homework readings but she really appreciates participation.
