Excellent teacher.
GREAT TEACHER FOR KIDS OUT OF H.S. WHO HAVE A IDEA OF ALGEBRA. BUT FOR ADULTS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN IN CLASS CAN BE A CHALLENGE. EASY CLASS JUST GOES BY MATERIAL TO FAST.
This is a great teacher, if he goes fast is only because it is a two month fast track class, this teacher really helps his students to understand the material, he is very easy going and even if you dont get it he will go over as many times as possible until you get, great teacher one of the best in North Campus.
This guy is awesome. I love his teaching style, he is very understanding and thorough. He will explain to you until you understand. Reviews all material before tests. You only could WISH this guy taught college algebra (I think he's working on his degree still). I got an A with him, no problem.
The best math teacher!!!! I would recommend him to anyone!!!
he is easy to understand and an excellent math teacher. i would recommend him!!!
Excellent. I was fearing going into intermediate algebra after such a long time since doing any form of schoolwork, but this teacher was very good and very patient. I highly recommend him.
He is so far the best professor I've ever had in math!!! He explains so well and has the patience to actually repeat until you understand. You dont really need the book that much, he would give you a lot examples and exercise in class...!!! A ++++
Great Professor! He went throught the material a little fast but if you say something he will slow down. Always open for any questions. Comes early to class to go over the homework with anyone who has a problem they need help with.
No Comments
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!!! extremely easy and he's a nice guy! his tests are multiple choice and super easy. TAKE HIM FOR AN EASY "A"!!!
IF EVERY TEACHER WERE LIKE HIM COLLEGE WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN. BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST TEACHER EVER. I WISHED HE THAUGHT COLLEGE ALGEBRA BECAUSE I WOULD OF TOOK HIM AGAIN. HIS WORK IS NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND AND IS WILLING TO HELP WHENEVER YOU NEED. HE GIVES TEST REVIEWS THE MATH PERFECTLY WITH THE TEST. HE IS JUST GREAT!!!!!!!
Excellent teacher. Makes Algebra look very easy.
Mr. Baker is an amazing prof he is always willing to help and answer any question, I would honestly recomend him to any student!!!!
he's a great teacher. he explains everything very well. theres always a review before the tests. he makes algebra seem easy. oh, and hes HOT!!!! and that makes you want to come to class!!!
He had 4 test and dropped one. If your final was higher than your lowest test he replaced it with that grade. He was cool.
Professor Baker is a very good instructor. He wil help you with any questions-he is thorough but moves very quickly with the subject. He makes math as fun as it can be-too bad he doesn't teach higher level courses-I would definately take his class again.
prof baker is great. he's very thorough. homework is encouraged, not collected. he explains until you understand. reviews right before each test. my only disappointment is that he's not teaching my next math class.
Mr. Smith is a great teacher, it is unfortunate that there are a few like him teaching. He is very patient and is open for discussion during and after class. His test are directly from what he teaches. There are no tricks on his test. He wants everyone to get the full understanding on what he goes over. Take his class, you won't regret it. Promise
Took him for Inetrme. alge. way easy. Just do the math labs at home and you will pass the class. I hate math but passed his class.You should take him it is way worth it. Loved the class failed to test and still passed.
Professor Baker is a great teacher....if want to pass math class, take him. Her will give you a lot of extra points and he's very helpful.
Professor Baker is a very kind and very helpful teacher. You will learn the material even if you think that you cant. I have terrible math anxiety and he makes you feel better by reviewing just before the test. I reccommend the Math Lab. It helped me a lot, but Prof Baker makes learning math so easy that anyone can do it. Thank you Prof Baker
the professor is the greatest..take him..thats all i can say..im not good at math at all..i don't even know how i got a passing grade..i did..i babrely did anything, i didnt even do good on te tests but i got a passing grade,,take him,he is way easy..especially hot..woohoo!!!
I love him, he is the best teacher ever. Take Baker and your math worries are over!
TAKE BAKER! There is a reason why his classes fill so fast! Very helpful, taught well, and explains everything. TAKE HIM FOR ANY MATH YOU CAN!!!
I wish he was teaching 1105! His tests were multiple choice and he tried very hard to make sure you understood the concepts. He is very good.
THIS IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER ON THE PLANET. HE IS SO NICE AND EXPLAINS VERY GOOD. YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
THIS IS THE BEST TEACHER ON THE PLANET! HE IS SO UNDERSTANIDNG AND TEACHES VERY WELL. HE MAKES CLASS A NICE ENVIROMENT WHILE STILL LEARNING. YOU NEED TO TAKE HIM.
Baker is the Bomb!!!!! This has beeen the best experience I could have evr hoped for when it comes to Math...I hate it. Take this class with Baker, e is the best
This teacher is the best, very good looking so easy on your eyes when you go to class. he goes out of his way to make sure you understand and get the concepts, i barely even went to class and i pass GREAT TEACHER, i recommend him!
John baker, wow that man is awsome. i mean i hate math and i got an A on the class. so PLease PLease i recommend you to take Mr. Baker trust me like everybody said you won't regret it i mean he math easy and really math is a very difficult subject take him and you'll see what i mean
Excellent teacher! I can't wait for him to start teaching higher mathematics!
OMG!!! I love him. He is very helpful, patient, and understanding. Not required to do homework, but it helps for tests. He also drops three lowest test scores. Trust me TAKE HIM. HE also kinda sexy:)
He is fantastic! Very helpful and made our class extremely fun! Hope he teaches another math class I need in the future, I will definately take him!
GREAT TEACHER, U MUST TAKE HIM!!! he explains everything so well and even make up songs to help remember formulas. test are almost easy. all multiple choice n he drops ur lowest grade! oh yes he is also very hot, in a ****ed kinda way.
Please take him. If you are not good at math, he will be good for you. He's hot also, so that makes you want to go to class..
This class is not easy. It takes alot of work to grasp the concepts. His teaching style is good and he is helpful. I didn't feel like he was trying to fail me. I was disappointed with his final though. He gave a review sheet that wasn't that helpful when taking the test. He said it was not that difficult, but it was. He's OK, be prepared to work!
GREAT TEACHER, but his class is not that easy as the others said, he lead us to believe the questions on the final were easy, but they looked nothing like the review sheet at all.But he is very helpful to any question or concerns you may have
His tests were not that difficult but his teaching style was not tgat great either. Would noe recommend. Have to do online work which is hell itself
He is a very nice teacher, this class is hard though, he is very helpful, but you have to really pay attention and do the homework practice to get you by.. The final was very hard, and that study sheet he gave us was nothing like the final at all. i passed the class though. but i worked very hard for my grade. im not sure if i would recommend!!!
Great teacher! I hate math and I ended up getting a B in the class. The class is not easy but if you do the work you can pass. I loved his teaching style!
Awesome! He is great at what he does, and is very patient with those that don't catch on so easily. He wants everyone to pass. Must do HW, and test are multiple choice. I would highly recommend.
ECELLENT math teacher !! one of the best ! especially if u hate algebra like me. he keeps your attention, which enables u to learn better. he is very clear when explaining things, and has great patients. i HIGHLY recommend him !!!!
Baker is the BEST math teacher in the world! I have taken him for countless math classes, and always pass with at least a B. If you don't understand, he will go over the problem as much as it takes until you understand completely. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND HIM TO EVERYONE! GREAT EXPERIENCE! And he is the NICEST person I have met!!! TAKE BAKER!!!
the best mathe teacher....i hate math and its like a different language....i HIGHLY recommend Mr Baker!
The class is not easy but if you do the work you can pass. He is great at what he does, and is very patient with those that don't catch on so easily. He wants everyone to pass. Must do HW, and test are multiple choice but don?t get it twisted? You have to study or you won?t pass.
HE IS A GREAT TEACHER, I TOOK HIM THIS FALL I HAD STR8 A's, IF U HATE MATH TAKE HIM, I NEVER LIKED MATH BUT THANKS TO HIM I DO NOW, STUDY AND DO MY MATH LAB AND U WILL PASS
A+ teacher! Knows his stuff and is more than willing to help anybody along. Assigns a moderate amount of homework but does not collect it, used just for practice. Do everythinghe tells you, follow the syllabus and there is no way you can fail the course. Gives generous amounts of extra credit opportunities as well. Take him at all costs!!!!
Best math teacher I have ever had. I will take him for any future classes if his name is attached. Big time college prof. working for a community college. Take him no matter what if he is available for your class. Attendance not mandatory after first class. It's simple, do the homework sections(it's not much)and you pass. Easy, right? Take him.
Took him for 1033 very easy to understand.Tests are multiply choice. Explains the work in a easy way. Higly recommended.
Best math teacher I ever had. Reviews before exams and makes sure everyone understands.
Best math teacher I ever had.
He is soooooooooo nice! But above anything, he teaches really well and cristal clear. I used to hate math and had to repeat this class. I got an A and learned the material. He doesn't make your life miserable like most professors do. Take him ASAP
He is one of the best math teacher's ever! He explains the material so well. REgister for his class!! like seriously.
Professor Baker, IS THE BEST! He's class is not easy, but he will make sure you understand the material. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you miss class you would be lost. If take notes and study in the lab you can pass his class. Very helpful professor.
Disappointed. Took because of all good ratings. What a mistake. Knows math, but not good at teaching it. Discourages you from asking questions. His robot response is "just study it". Rushes throw work. He must be writing all good comments himself.
HE IS THE BEST!!!!! i wish i could take him for mac1105 he breaks down everything. 4 quizes n a final. he replaces ur lowest grade with the final.. just study u will pass.. trust i hate math but he is really good
good professor. I took his class last semester. Was not doing well in his class but still pass with a B. No pressure at all. Easy going. My text book is available if any one interested in purchasing it. New is ever Contact me @ [email protected]
If it wasn't for tutorials on the web, I would not have passed this class. He assumes you took Algebra awhile ago. Not! He explains the lecture well, but needs to refresh some memories for those who took math 4 or more years ago. Other than that his tests are fair.
he goes pretty fast. his test are about 19 questions each, he has 8 quizzes and drops the lowest 3.and he has 4 test and a final. so far im in between. he will help you if you need it but i dont really like the way he teaches. i had to go back home and teach myself. use the my math lab it helps and take notes.and do all the hw. hw is not for grade
Gradea are composed of 4 tests & an exam that replaces the lowest test grade.Im not sure how he got such high scores bcus altho he is SUPER nice his method of teaching is NOT helpful and he goes REAL fast & does not go into detail. do NOT go by his score like i did.
HAPPY TEACHER!!! love the formula songs :}
Great professor! Does a great job to explain the info and is very helpful.
Great teacher, but a background in math would be helpful. He tries to make you understand and test questions usually come from what you studied in text book
GREAT teacher. His lectures are very clear. Makes sures the students understand the topic. All the tests are from material cover on class. Plenty of examples and procedures. As long as you come to class and pay attention to the material you will do good.
Math has NEVER been my strong suit and I got an A in his MAC1140 course. I'm trying to say that he's an "Easy A" but he knows how to explain the material so well. Very laid-back person and laid-back teaching style. Highly recommend his course to anyone seeking to LEARN.
Math has never been my strong SUIT. But Professor Baker changed my mind about Math. This Professor is very passionate about teaching and his teaching style is one of the best I've seen. All of the material covered in class is on the tests/exams. He prepares you for each test/exam. Show up to class and you will do very well.
He is one of the nicest and I would say in the top 5 of the best math teachers at BC (yes i have had a lot of bad ones). He explains the material clearly and his tests are similar to the homework. I currently have a high A in his class with only the final left. He gives 4 tests and a final exam which the final replaces your lowest test score.
He is a great teacher, teaches slow and clear
He is a very good teacher. He gives 5 test and those are your major grades in class. I wish he would require homework, because it would help bust the grade up a little, also if I get graded on the homework I'm more motivated to practice... But if it's optional let's face it we can get lazy... But he is great I really enjoyed his class.
GREAT GREAT GREAT. BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS IN ANY SUBJECT AT BROWARD COLLEGE. HE WANTS YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL. BEFORE THE TEST HE HAS A 10 TO 15 MINUTE REVIEW AND THAT WAS A GREAT HELP BECAUSE WHEN WE STARTED THE TEST EVERYTHING WAS FRESH IN MY MIND. TAKE HIM!! DON'T EVEN THINK TWICE ABOUT IT.
He is extremely helpful!! The best ever!! It's a hard class but makes u understand,love Prof. Baker!!
Great professor I had him last semester & he explains everything to you STEP by STEP! Great teacher I would definitely recommend him!
BEST MATH TEACHER I EVER HAD! MAKES SURE YOU UNDERSTAND STEP BY STEP.
Loved this class! Professor Baker was the best. He knows his stuff, was very clear and easy to understand. He gave great examples and taught great short cuts. Very helpful, didn't mind stopping to help clarify anywhere you got stuck. I took him for 3rd session, so it was quick but he made sure you got it. Plus the homework guide saved my life.
Great Professor ever. He makes math easy.
A great teacher is knowledgeable, patient, kind and helpful. Prof. Baker exudes those qualities. Summer consisted of 4 tests and a final. Study a lot and you’re guaranteed an “A”. Super job! ea
Most amazing math professor I have ever had! I took him back in 08/2012 sorry for the late rate. He is so clear takes his time on every problem and walks you through it! I would recommend him!
Failed previous two attempts at college algebra. Too Mr. Baker on a recommendation and couldn't have been happier! Excellent professor, great clarification, detailed instruction, useful memory techniques, and an overall caring and compassionate attitude. He wants everyone to succeed and makes every attempt to see that's a reality for each of his students!!! Got an "A" on all 4 tests and a "B" on my final...all weighted evenly for a 91-A final grade!!! And I didn't do one ounce of HW:)
Professor Baker is a heaven-sent. I haven't a clue how I would have made it through this course without him. During the semester, I had some personal family issues. He was very flexible and understanding. His teaching style is clear, and he is also very witty. I encourage everyone to take math with John Baker. I didn't even use a textbook i
Good teacher. Always there to help & gives extra credit. If your final exam is higher than one of your lowest test grade he replaces the low grade with the grade you got on your final. Gave similar practice questions that were on the test. I would tell everyone to take him. Has a good sense of humor which keeps class interesting. ALWAYS HELPS
Awesome professor. Highly recommended.
Great professor ; he cares alot ; im taking him for MAC 1140 . i recommend him to anyone whose had a hard time in math
I retook this course during the summer and was able to pass. Professor Baker is never in a rush to cover the lesson, and even prints out note packets with the practice problems we go through during the lecture. This saves a remarkable amount of time since the class doesn't have to copy down the problem, and we could get right to practicing!
Prof Baker is AWESOME!! He really cares about his students passing and will not test you on something that was not covered in class. He will literally tell you something like this this and this will be on your test. Homework is not mandatory but if you want to pass you will have to practice the problems. Test and Final. lowest test dropped. TAKE!!
Professor Baker was excellent! he teaches so well that I think even toddlers would understand haha I really wanted to have him again for mac1105 but he had no Summer B class. MAke sure you get ALEKS and DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!! It's a huge pain in the butt but it will help you so much! This professor is great and very clear with everything.
Professor Baker is AWESOME! He explains and goes over any and everything you would need help with. I failed MAC1105 before so this was my second attempt I am so thankful for him. He is a flexible professor, we need more of those!
This guy is the best at broward college. He teaches highschool during the week and treats his college students like they dont know the fundamentals. If you struggle in math, this is your professor. He will drop your lowest test and give a curve on all exams. TAKE HIM !
TAKE HIM!
One of the best math teacher at broward college. he makes algebra understandable. being a student that had trouble with math made it so much easier to when attending his class. you have to do mathlab, 8 quizes online, 4 test in class. he is very helpful, trying to take him for statistics.
He's the best! I didn't really do the homework out of the book. I took notes, did the labs, and did the reviews out of the book and passed with an A+. If you have ANY questions, he will make sure you understand the material. If I have another math class, he will be the one I look for.
Easy A or B. No Textbook needed, he gives out the papers, so no writing. Texts are easy and the exam, He go over a review before every text. Multiple questions on all tests.. TAKE HIM PLEASE
Great professor. Goes over the basics as well.
Proffesor Baker was by far my favorite math teacher! Very detailed explanation for every section of the course and he will go out of his way to help his students. Gives out packets every week which are a detailed explanation of the lessons and can come in handy if you do not make it to class.
Great professor
Mr. Baker is one of the most amazing math teachers I've ever had. He gives 4 testes throughout the whole year and a final exam. Yes mylabsplus is part of the course, however out of the eight mylabsplus quizzes he takes five of your best scores (divide them by five) and counts your mylabsplus quiz average as a test grade. SO DO IT.
Professor Baker is great!! Math is math, but he gives great explanations, tells you what is on the test and gives you extra credit. The textbook and homework helped A LOT. Mylabsplus is required so you might as well by the book, trust me this will help you. I passed with an A. And this was after having to retake college Algebra
Math is not my best subject but this professor explained very thoroughly. Excellent lectures and makes sure the students understand. I'd take him again if I had the chance!
Really nice guy, I found him easy to understand. Gives homework assignments/quizzes through mylabsplus, which if done are correctly mean an A is guaranteed for the tests, final is cumulative, so use your previous tests as reference. Love teachers that can make math understandable, he is one of them!
Professor baker is amazing, not everyone can make a 3 hour class interesting but he can. He is super clear and in the day of ALEKS where teachers can pawn off teaching to a program it is nice to know there is still hope. Make sure to do the HW and reviews to do well on the tests. He went out of his way to help me choose my honors project also. A++
Took him for summer. Three hour lecture two days a week, and I would't have it any other way! Only grading criteria were 5 exams, the rest was purely for your own benefit. I failed algebra once before and dropped it another. His way of teaching is so clear! He teaches the long version of the problem but also shows you the much easier short cuts.
He is a great professor, is the first time in my life that I was able to understand Algebra so clearly.
Prof. Baker is the best math professor. Does not require textbook! Uses print outs of the notes in class and works with you in solving during class. Gives you a "sheet of gold" to tell you how many questions are coming from which sections before the test. Plenty of opportunities to ask for help. Very caring of his students. Very easy to understand
Awesome math teacher. take him you won't regret it. he breaks down problems step by step and really cares about his students passing. only class I looked forward to in my week. his test are not hard but not easy either. Math requires practice so do your work and you will be just fine! BEST MATH PROF YET.
He is good at explaining. The lectures are long and tiring. He gave us 4 tests and 1 final exam. No quizzes. Homework was not mandatory. PRACTICE THE HOMEWORK! Test questions come from it. I came in this class not knowing much since I took college algebra many years ago. I practiced a lot and got 98 and 100's on my tests.
Prof Baker the best math teacher ever! He cares about his students being successful. Five exams, lowest score dropped. He do everything possible to help you pass. If you are a weak at math this is the professor for you. You won't regret taking this class.
Ive been out of school for 12 yrs and the thought of dealing with math make me nauseous. I told him Im really bad in math. I failed the first test and I studied hard and I passed with an A. Practice and youll be fine.
This man is an amazing professor who will go out of his way to help you learn/review the material. Math is not my strongest subject and I struggled with retaining the concepts but I ended up passing with a B due to his assistance. He is also very friendly and holds a great conversation. Definitely take his class, you won't regret it!
Professor Baker is an amazing professor. Took his MAC1105 class as my first BC class over the summer and it was very easy. He tells you what to study for the final and on tests. Gives extra credit oppertunities . MUST TAKE
Very good professor!
You HAVE to take him. By far the best math teacher EVER. Passed his class with an easy A and he tells you everything that is on the test
Take His Class!!! You Wont Regret It. He Teaches Well And Always Reviews Before An Exam.
Mr. Baker is a great teacher to take for Mac1105. He teaches at a pace that everyone is able to learn and makes sure that he provides different methods for us to understand. He provided some extra credit opportunities that are actually entertaining and he is able to engage his class. Im happy I took Mac1105 with him :)
Professor Baker is an overall great professor. He explains everything very thoroughly and answers any questions until you understand. I took his class at night and you would expect the class to drag but Professor Baker made the semester very enjoyable.
took his summer course. 4 exams one final and one grade dropped. homework is all you not graded. easy to approach. takes his time to explain things. hilarious and witty. do your part as a student show up ( for your own sake) and practice for exams youll pass w an A
Professor Baker was by far the best professor I have had at Broward college. His lectures were easy to understand and the homework he gave was basically to force you to study. Although he gives a good amount of homework, it prepares you extremely well for the tests. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Highly recommend!
DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS. I had to due to covid. He made the tests extremely hard and wouldnt do that if you have him in face to face class. Math is not my strongest subject & if I wasnt able to use my notes during the test I would have failed. There were 4 tests and a final. I passed with an A. From the reviews hes easier to take in person.
GREAT PROFESSOR!! Ive never been good at math and usually have to ask so many questions before I understand a topic but Professor Baker was so good I had no questions. He gives hw but its very do able and always reviews and gives study guides before a test. Hes very warm and interactive and not to mention always lets class out early!
He's a good professor that means well. If math is a sore subject I suggest getting a tutor for his class. He gives you a lot of opportunities to improve your grade. You can tell he means well and gently wants his students to do well.
My 2nd fav math prof. Makes learning fun. Expects class participation. Very understanding and caring. Always gives extra credit during class and on exams. Works with you until you grasp the lesson.
Got A’s on all tests. Gives you packets on the material that you will be learning. Makes learning material very easy.
he covers everything in class, so if u do miss class u most likely have to teach yourself the material. there are 6 grades entered. 4 tests, the final, and an average of your top 6 quizzes. As long as u know the material before test days, u should be fine. he reviews before every test & extra credit is given most times. take him if u take 1105!!
He's an okay professor and he wants you to learn. The class is not too hard and he's very nice. If you're good at math you'll do great in this class, if you struggle with math it will be a little difficult but you should be able to get by.
