AVOID AT ALL COSTS. If you get him, request another professor.

Terrible Exams that are designed to fail the entire class.

CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH! Do not take him if you can't understand French. He's very hard to understand and doesn't teach well. Hard to focus on.

This guys is full of it and cannot teach. How he has a job, I don't know. I even wrote a letter to the dean, like that did anything.

take this class with him if you want to learn french instead of java. very hard to understand, and most of the class did not learn a thing.

This professor is very bad, and doesn't explain anything. He will often give you programming assignments and labs with very little knowledge on how to do it. He often rambles, like "This book, have you seen this text book" and repeating every word at least 3 times, is the only thing you will remembe

Worse professor ever. Half the time he teaches (unclearly) and the other half he jokes around, which I did not find it humerous at all. Overall he is a brilliant professor who can not teach if his life depended on it.

Not a good pro.

This prof has no structure whatsoever. He randomly talks about any topic in the book. It is almost impossible to get a good grade on his test. There were many times that many students didn't finish the lab because they didn't know how to do it. I recommend you only take him, if you already know java. If you don't know it you will be confused.

Once the novelty of the French accent & smug sense of humor fades, it's clear he's an absolutely awful instructor. He's ill prepared, unable to stay on subject, and bereft of any interest in students as PEOPLE. Furthermore, he's unqualified to sit on UGrad Commitee - I've needed to go over his head and prevailed. He's an arrogant, malicious man!

This dude is just not kosher by any means.......horrible explanations......bad teachings.....no sense what...so...ever....avoid teacher at all costs........all.....costs.........

he gave me a hard time about using an earlier edition of the text. what a joke. if i didn't have friends that could write in java to help me, i would have failed this class

SUCKS STAY AWAY

straight off the boat from france , and he needs to go back to whereever he came from, downright awful

Difficult to understand, huge ego, difficult to learn from.

Mean. Humiliates. Takes Advantage. Major negative influence on any student's life.

This man was teaching a programming class, and simply does not know how to program. So instead he grades your code based on whether he likes the comments, which also fails because he simply does not know how to speak English. I would have gotten a C at best in this class had I not tested out. If at all possible, avoid this professor.

he is a pretty good person, but i think if he was a good programmer he would not be here. he is lowly intellectual when it comes to programming in other words he is not a programmer he is trying to be one. he does not help:

Difficult to understand. Squeezes random points in between long digressions. Labs are useless because the material they cover has to be learned outside of class to complete programming assignments which are due prior to the labs. Should attempt stand-up comedy not teach.

First word to come to mind when thinking of Baudet is horrible. He is the worst teacher ive had on campus and is a horrible teacher. He has the need to crack jokes which are not funny and talks more about sheep and elephants than computer science itself. Also is accent couldnt get any more distracting from class. Never again will i take him.

Gerard Baudet is the worst teacher I have ever had. He does not explain anything in class regarding assignments. You will get tests on information he did not cover. He did not inform the library what book he was using because "They should know". He is simply going through the paces and has given up on teaching students. I am disgusted.

Professor Baudet is a nice person. But when it comes to being a good teacher that is useless, and he certainly proved that. He doesn't respond to e-mails, was rarely even in his office during office hours and honestly seemed to not care about his students AT ALL! I did very well in his class with NO thanks to him!

Looking back, I think I think he is the reason I dropped CS. I felt like the most retarted person in his class. He would make you write programs in labs based off of stuff he never covered. I was naive and thought that I wasn't studying hard, or I had to do my own studies outside of material. I'm fluent in french, but that didn't even help.

He is an unfair grader, who doesn't teach you anything about the topic. Labs are impossible to do. You cannot understand a word he says. He is completely unhelpful if you ask a question. I just recommend not taking this class at all you will learn nothing. He doesn't look at the programs you create only what you print out. Worst teacher ever.

Worst teacher ever. Very unclear, exams are impossible and he makes stupid jokes about sheep. I have had bad professors before but he takes the cake.

We spent 75 minutes on a logic gate schematic that didn't work. He offers minimal strategies to problem solving, but does not express what a good design looks like. You could spend an hour designing a circuit of logic gates and find out the next day that there is a major flaw in the design. This course needs a new professor.

The way Professor Baudet runs his classroom is not conducive to learning or passing his class. Graded all homework months late, never giving feedback or solutions unless prompted hard in his office hours, where he still managed to be as unhelpful as possible. gives confusing lectures, puts his own spin on material so you cannot learn on your own.

Certainly one of the worst CS classes I've ever taken. Exams are very difficult and if you miss any lectures you won't pass. Everything is graded on a curve which means you won't know till the very end if you passed.

By far, the worst professor I ever had in school. He literally took away my passion for computer science. I came to class and stayed involved in the discussion, but I always felt as if he had it out for me. It is very unfortunate that I could not avoid him in order to progress through the major.
