Used 2 diff editions of the same book, which caused confusion. 10 page paper req'd with a 5 minute presentation. Inconsistent grading. She corrected a direct quote. Multiply 5 min. by 50+ students and you spend a great deal of time from the middle of the semester listening to other students. Buy the REVIEW book, you'll do well on the tests.

Lectureed out of 2 editions of the same book. 8 week summer class had a 10 page research paper! Tests were LONG and included "short answer" questions which required almost memorization of the chapters (i.e. if you understand the concepts but don't give the answer that corresponds to the section of the book it's wrong). I would not take her again.

Awful professor teaching style is very outdated and so are the videos she makes you watch. Her grading is very one-sided it is her way or it's wrong. She says she gives partial credit but she does not. Even when it's obvious you grasp the concept if it's not in a wording that she likes, which btw she never explains, it is wrong no matter how hard you try to argue other wise. I would rather be water boarded then take another class of hers.

The worst professor at UTA's business school. Avoid at all costs. Lectures are pointless and have nothing to do with the test. She cries randomly, and no one knows why.

Her lectures are very interesting and informative, it will also contain info that will be on the test. She is very animated and makes class very fun, you will not get bored. Her tests are tough, it helps to attend class and to read. I suggest making note cards for the vocabulary since it is a big part of the test. Great person and awesome teacher!

She loves to talk a lot about herself. She asks questions in the class, and even if you tell her an answer straight from the book, she will turn you down. Study the vocab, but also write HER definition because she expects that on the tests. Test are T/F, Multiple Choice, Matching AND Short Answer. NO reviews. Record her lecture to add to your notes

First things first, if you want an easy grade, this is NOT the class for you. I only like her and the class because I actually pay attention and study and get the grades I deserve. As a person, she's really blunt and treats you like a child at times. Her tests are just like her lectures so pay attention, study the vocab, and you'll be fine.

She is a good professor, but she likes to talk about herself a lot (it gets annoying). She was usually at least 10 minutes late to class everyday, and she made us study for 6 chapters in 3 days over the summer. SO DON'T TAKE HER FOR THE SUMMER! If you take her during the regular semester, you will probably do fine if you read the book.

She has 4 exams all weigh differently. She grades very hard. I never seen so many red marks on a single exam in my life. She grades hard she wants you to know definitions from the book verbatim. This goes for all of her management classes as well. I took her for 2 classes. Also, she has a hard time answering real world questions about material.

Avoid taking her at all costs. The tests are hard for no reason, the material discussed in the lectures is not even complicated, she just decides to make it difficult for the students. If you decide to take her memorize all the terms for each chapter assigned for the exam, and read the chapters. Also goes off topic a lot, grading makes no sense.

Still don't understand why her exams are so long. Doesnt review at all. Exams are like 60 mc, 15 matching, 20 tf AND about 3 short answers... some people have made 100s and As thanks to her curve. Book is absolutely necessary for the lecture, she doesn't post ppts online so make sure to take really good notes. Nice lady I guess, not an easy A!!!!

This lady is horrible. I very much dislike professors that are "power point lecturers" I don't need you to read the slides for me, I would hope that I know how to read by now. If the slides were posted on blackboard there would be no reason for you to go to class. I've never heard a professor brag about how many degrees he/she has. Horrible.

This class was not an easy A but it's possible. The grade was based on 3 tests (4 ch. each) and a final exam (6 ch). The tests are MC, T/F (which I don't like) and SA (usually 1 per chapter 20% of grade ) and she does curve them. Make 2 study guides per chapter, one for just definitions and one over the content and you'll do fine.

Dr. Baldwin is amazing! Her tests were slightly challenging but doable if you study ahead of time. I loved that she provided many real world examples that relate to the material. She has so much experience so she knows what she is talking about. Take good notes in class and read the book thoroughly because there are a lot of theories and vocab.

AND she doesn't let you know how much time you have left. ALSO, barely gives any credit on the short answer, she expects an essay for each pretty much.

I see that other reviewers complain about her tough grading--and I don't disagree. Her exams are difficult and they consist of short answer, etc. However, if you read the book, you'll be golden.

Curved every single exam. Tough exams but can easily get an A if you read the book. Her lectures are interesting too, and she is passionate about what she does. Those who are leaving poor reviews are probably too lazy to read the book and write easy short answer questions on the test. Definitely recommend.

4 tests worth 25% each. Best way to do well in the class is to read the textbook! She was almost always late to lecture and likes to argues with students. Always has to be right and likes to shut students down. Tests are extremely long and hard: T/F, multiple choice, and 3-7 short answers that are VERY specific. Have to study a lot to get an A.

If you dont want to put in work to make an A-B avg grade then dont take this professor. She takes this class way to serious for it to be a lower-level class. She gives 4 tests which are EXTENSIVE. There are roughly 20 T/F, 20 matching, 64 MC, and between 4-6 SA questions. There are no outside HW assignments. She is very conceited.

Mrs. Baldwin is a great professor. Her lectures are very interesting. However, her exams are crazy long. Tests consists of free response, multiple choice, true or false and matching. The good thing is that over half of her tests are over vocabulary. Know all vocab and you'll pass. Goodluck with the free response questions...

What should have been an easy class was TOUGH! Tests are LONG and consist of T/F, multiple choice, matching and short answer. 4 tests, no homework, takes attendance but doesn't count against you (if you're there every class she'll add 2 points to your final grade) Don't HAVE to have the book, but it definitely helps - STUDY BOLD WORDS

The bad reviews about her are spot on. Her tests are 70 M/C and T/F and 4 short answers and you do not have enough time to do them. Her lectures are useless, she does not share the powerpoint so you have to quickly copy them down. Do yourself a favor and not take her.
