This guy is a riot. Was it comedy night or Philosophy 110, I'm not sure. He's also a fairly easy marker.

Glen is an excellent instructor. His humour is dry and sarcastic, but hilarious. It should be noted that he promptly responds to e-mail inquiries, but is not very personable one on one.

This guy is phenominal, he's got a leg up on the chair with his jogging pants hiked up and pizza stains on his old ratty t-shirt, he barks rude innapropriate comments out loud so that you hear other classes doors close. Sooooooo funny. Take him!

one of the best classes i have taken. hes very funny and tries to make class fun

very funny, clear and kind. one suggestion, he should probably be stricter with himself and students as well as open the classes up to discussion.

He's brilliant, hilarious, kind and helpful. His teaching style is like Richard Lewis on hallucinogens; funny as hell. The best $400.00 you'll ever spend!

Very good, great style, hilarious, but he needs to relax on the use of profane language.

totally bizarre and unconventional. he's great!

great prof. funny easy-going and makes a fairly boring class really exciting. I'd definantly reccomend im.

like a stand up comedian

awesome prof. Recommend him to anyone!

he makes philosophy SOOOO fun. COOLEST professor ever!! normally i cant stand 3 hour lectures, but glen makes class so interesting and funny, u dont even notice.

Finds humor in just about everything, tells funny stories throughout. Very enjoyable class.

Sooo funny. A little cookoo but I highly recommend him. You get used to him talking with his eyes closed;)

Glen a wonderful instructor. He also one of the easiest markers I have come across. So if you want to take a fun class and get a great mark, take a class with Glen.

makes a class with boring material fun. hes hilarious!!!!

Glen is awsome. He knows how to keep you interested and awake. He is very helpful, open to questions, funny, he know's what he's talking about, and he explains thing very well. I leave the class remembering everything he talked about. I recommend him to everyone!

As you can see, someone on this page has an attitude problem. Don't listen to this jerk. Glen Rules! He lectures are funny and crystal clear. I looked forward to going to his classes. I definitely recommend him.

TAlks with his eyes closed, yells alot, but not at you. He loves his work, and is funny. Looks like a bum off the streets at times, but a great guy. Write down everything he says in class, and rewrite it in your essays and you will get an A.

Glen is an awesome prof that makes learning fun and easy...funny guy and NO ESSAYS!!!woohoo...i definitely recommend him to anyone as a gpa booster

Great Prof! Knows his stuff. Learned tons I'm still using. Funny and unique. Fair marker. But you have to show up and then no worries. Only hard on plagiarists.

Awesome course with an awesome prof. This is the second time I have taken one of his class and I still recommend him. If only other profs could learn from him. Learning can be fun and Glen definately proves this.

A great lecturer who knows his stuff. If you find Glen unapproachable or not open to hearing from his students or helping them, then you didn't try. One of the best profs. at UCFV.

SIMPLY THE BEST! all teachers should have glen's teaching style, he's funny and interesting :)

Coolest guy ever. I'm just a dumb cowboy and he's filling my head with info. That's not an easy task, and if I can do it, the special needs kids can do it.

One of the funniest, most engaging teachers i have ever come across. Had glen my very first symester and got hooked on philosophy. Im hoping to work on it as my major now :D

Well the class was really easy. Had like 3 assignments. But sitting there for 3 hours was torture and I wanted to kill myself after 1. Take this class for easy credit.

great prof, his style is stand up comedy, he knows his stuff really well. when you write down what he says in lecture you can count on it being worthy of note.easy class only 3 assignments no essaysno midterm and a final. if you need help just go see him he is really nice and gives good advice and help.

Glen is a great instructor - SUPER FUNNY which made a first year Philosophy class (at night too!) easy to get through. I actually looked forward to his classes - it was like learning philosophy by going to a comedy club. It just doesn't get better than that! He is smart and a fair marker. He makes great notes on your essays. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Class was a bit long and tedious, but three hours of any class first thing on a Monday morning is bound to be. Course material was also pretty boring, but this professor managed to make it funny and interesting (I managed to stay awake mostly by looking at that poor chair he was sitting on the back of and wondering when it would break).

He is a really great teacher. We laugh at least once every clas and it doesn't seem like a 3 hour class.

Awesome prof. , one of my favorites after three years of school. Makes learnign really fun and a dry topic interesting. I really looked forward to this class and can't imagine taking it with any other instructor, Glen knows his stuff! Three assingments and one test (final), do you reading, attend classes and you will do well.

Dr Baier is great. Hes got a good sense of humour and throws in quirky jokes and examples that keep the material interesting. Super passionate about what he teaches and about helping students learn. Will vet your papers before due date and responds to email with impecable timing. Nothing but good things.

What a fantastic teacher! his class is very entertaining and he manages to make everything clear and understandable. i highly recommend taking a class with him. one of the best profs at UCFV for sure. his papers are hard, but if you do the work, you'll get the grades.

this is one of the most exciting teachers i have ever had. He has this ability to take grotesque tedious and basic philosophy that we should all be dying in and make it not only understandle but entertaining and meaningful. He gets everyone laughing so hard and takes philosophy to heart...you can tell it's his life...i recommend him for sure.

Glen has a gift of taking what could quite possibly be the worst and tedious class offered at UFV and making it hilariously interesting. He is very helpful and will always respond to any questions you have via email in a timely manner. If you need this course, take it with Glen and I can promise you that you won't want be dissapointed.

Best Proff I have ever had

Probably my favorite prof at ufv. I try to take a class with him every semester... sucks he's on sebatical. Very easy going and approachable. Keeps his blackberry with him always so email response is always quick. Good To take class with him only if ur good at papers. If ur a good writer tho it's easy i.e 4 papers for 1 class but thats it

Best class ever.

Glen is so understanding and very nice. He is a good prof and I reccomend him to everyone for PHIL. Its such a boring topic but Glen makes it so fun. 3 assigments one midterm all worth 25 percent each. GLEN YOU ROCK

Glen is so NICE. He is hands down the best prof ever. I was no suck up but he defintely made sure that I was comfortable with the classroom material. He deserves prof of the century.

Great prof, fair, approachable, clear, hilarious

Although it may be unfair to the rest of the staff at UFV, Glen is quite clearly the best professor teaching.

Glenn is truly a fantastic professor! He's very approachable and knows an ungodly amount about all types of philosophy.Sometimes during lectures he can be hard to follow and rarely engages the class in discussions, he more talks at you then with you.However he does engage sometimes and this is a very small negative factor.Fair grader/Amazing Prof!

The best prof I have EVER had. He's enthusiastic about what he teaches, really nice guy, and absolutely hilarious! The only 3 hour class I've had that has kept my attention for the full period. I'm taking his class as an elective, and I would recommend doing so to other non-philosophy students who need an elective. Amazing prof!

Awesome teacher, he makes a super boring class fun to attend and makes sence of concepts that typically would make you fall asleep. I cant wait to take another class with him!

Very engaging and incredibly interesting. Very passionate about the subject he is teaching and knows how to keep the class involved and interested. Great homework assignments that make you feel confident in your skills. Great tests, expectations are set and not misleading. Favorite prof of the semester by far.

I have taken all classes taught by Glen in the last few years. He is a humorous individual, and is one of the most brilliant minds I've ever encountered. If you have a chance to learn from him, take it. It is well worth your time regardless of your program just to learn what he has to teach. The content is not easy on it's own, Glen makes it so.

he was a pretty good prof there were things that very much urked me he has did put me to sleep other people however were following the class alright from what i gathered i would not recmnd taking this class if you have a class previous in the same day the material is so dry it will lull u 2 sleep as well he did kindof go abit all over the place

Glen is everything you want in a teacher. A wealth of knowledge and hilariously cynical examples, a great speaker, and he's quick to get back to you if you need help or want him to look over your assignment before marking it. He is incredibly understanding that most people in this course haven't taken Philosophy. You do have to work hard though.

Glen is an amazing prof! He makes a generally dry subject into a class you look forward too. He is very funny and puts the material into real life cases. He is very quick and very helpful when you ask questions and makes sure that you understand before he moves on. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend everyone to take a class with him!

HILARIOUS. The material in this class was super hard to muddle through, his personal anecdotes made it so much more understandable and helped the afternoon pass that much quicker.

Glen was a great professor. He is old school with no PowerPoint or anything online. His handouts are extremely helpful in explaining things from the textbook, which is written in a philosophical perspective. Show up, take notes, study his handouts and you will do fine. And be ready to laugh from great examples that are off the wall.

One of the best Professors UFV has.

Professor Baier was hilarious. His personal anecdotes made the incredibly dry lecture material much more tolerable. His tests and marking were fair, and if you show up and go over his handouts you should do well. Very approachable and willing to work with you to help you succeed. Highly recommended.

Glen creates a lecture that is informative. He is almost always willing to take time to meet with you if you need help and takes the time to specifically explain what he wants. I took Glens courses because of the passion he put into each lecture. Its obvious he loves what he does. I wish teachers would take notes on Glens teaching style

Glen is a great prof! Philosophy is not easy for most people, however, he makes it easy to understand. He is willing to help you whenever you need it, and replies to emails within hours. If you show up, take notes and study, you will get a good grade.

Glen is not only a fantastic professor, but a great human being as well. His lectures are interesting and he does an incredible job at being clear and informative. He is without a doubt one of the best professors at UFV. I HIGHLY recommend taking his class because he keeps the class interesting and tests are exactly what is done in class.

Best Prof. in the program.

You never taken a philosophy course in your life? Glen will make you like it and understand it. He made class fun and bearable when it came to the dry stuff. So funny and awesome!

Best. Prof. Ever.

Glen can make the most painful philosophical concepts understandable. And if he is unable to to that, you will still be left with a profoundly memorable lecture. Some of the stuff I know I will never use again. But I'll always remember how I learned it. Fail to take a course by Glen at your own peril.

The material of this course is dry and personally not what I was expecting for a Philosophy course. But with Glen's humor, the class was more than bearable. Notes/lectures are not posted online so it's mandatory for students to show up. Final exam was long but he allows students to have all of their notes and textbook. Awesome prof.

I had the privilege of taking multiple classes with Glen over the years and I cannot recommend him enough. Great attitude, highly knowledgeable about his field of study, humorous, helpful, friendly, informative, entertaining... The list goes on. If you have the opportunity and a good head on your shoulders you're in for a treat.

I am genuinely sad that I wont be taught by Glen anymore. Philosophy is hard, but he is very educated and knowledgeable. He uses humour which makes it a lot easier to grasp the concepts. Best teacher I have had in my four years at UFV.

Glen is a great professor! He is quirky and hilarious. His examples help you understand the material. If you take lots of notes and do the readings then youll pass no problem. Dont over think and make sure to detail your answers. I HIGHLY recommend Glen for an Philosophy class, especially PHIL 100

Great prof, nothing unexpected. He tells you exactly what to study for the two midterms and final exam. There's four assignments that are lengthy, but if you take notes in class they aren't too bad. Classes are never cut short. Its easy to get a good grade

Professor Glen Baier is a very passionate teacher and it really makes for a fun and interactive class. I highly recommend him for first year students as he makes the transition a little easier. However, he HATES technology and will never post anything online. Show up, or fail.

After 3 years of studying at 2 institutions, Glen is the best prof I've had, and I've had some fantastic profs. He's passionate, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. His lectures are full of passion and vigour. If you get a chance to do a 482 class with him, his new 375, or even 252, or 425, get ready for some of the best lectures of your life.

Glen is a great, though slightly disorganized professor. He is understanding and lenient with assignments, all of which are straightforward and easy. His classes are often fully lectures, but they're interesting. It's clear that Glen really loves philosophy! There wasn't a concept I didn't understand, and he is good at clarifying them if need be!

Get ready for some crazy lectures also I'd recommend sitting in the back, he's a tad loud when he gets passionate. Which is all the time. His lectures are hard because the material we're covering is hard. However, he marks accordingly. He understands that at an undergraduate level some of the material will go over our heads.

Glen is a very funny, caring and respectable professor. This semester we were given four assignments that were based on the topics in the textbook (which is very simple). He gives plenty of time to complete and a generous extension for all assignments. The material is boring but he makes the lectures not as bland as the material. Take this prof!

Glen is the best professor I have ever been taught by. His teaching style is a dream, and the assignments are designed thoughtfully. I have a high respect for the regard he has for his neurodivergent students.

Glen is the Top G. No final or midterm, 4 assignments, show up to class, take notes, ask for help when needed, EASY PASS! Definitely wished I came to more classes and would have easily gotten an A+.

One of the best prof's at UFV. Well worth the dip if you're majoring in English or Business. A modern day Diogenes (and I mean that in the most earnest, heartfelt way). He also has a great taste in music.

I have had Glen for many classes, and have always found him to be a very knowledgeable proff. In all his upper level courses it is essay based, you read the book, then write essay. No exams, no assignments, just 3-4 essays. He answers all questions and is relatable. Highly recommend him.

funny guy. philosophy isn't my strong suit but his lectures are super engaging and fun to partake in. if you pay attention in class and write down notes as he speaks, you will do fine. wish all profs at UFV were like him

Glen has a great sense of humour. His lessons are important to attend for understanding. He gives detailed feedback on tests. He assigns NO HOMEWORK. All tests outside of the midterm/final are in-class only to see that we can apply what we are learning. The text is fine but reading his handouts and understanding definitions will guarantee you an A.

Glen was one of my favourite profs. As long as you show up, pay attention and do at least some of the reading, you'll do great. He also gives study guides and a breakdown of the types of questions so there are no surprises on any exam. He's a bit a a goof sometimes, and makes the boring course material a little less boring :)

Super chill guy and even a little funny. He's accommodating as he let me take my final with another section just to make my schedule easier. Classes were quite boring imo but not too bad. Marked entirely on final, midterm, and in class assignments that are worth 10 percent each, which are not too hard. As long as you try you can get an A+.

He was actually really good. We would just do a lecture first, then an assignment, and that was it. He was an easy grader, lol. Plus, there was a midterm and a final exam. Overall, it was an easy class—no homework, just show up to class.
