the class is easy, but hes a jerk
You have to take this class, and you have to take it with him. Don't dread it though because he's a pretty cool guy and it's not hard to get an A as long as you do your work you'll be fine.. Later
He doesnt help the fact that his class is boring. You will never want to go, and he's mean!

easiest class in the world, very good teacher
This guy knows his class is boring, and so he's really crazy - which makes it intersting to at least watch the man. Obscenely easy.
easy class, with an easy teacher
This guy is cool. The class is super easy.
This is an easy boring class, he makes it as interesting as possible.
boring....never have to go to class and get an A
It's great!
I took his class online and his assingiments were always miscomunicated. I think that if you are a computer major he'll like you, but good luck if you are not. He just forwards any questions you have to he helpers
so easy!! i recomend that teacher, and get mr.Z as ur TA.. even easier!! they are so nice!
If you don't pass his class, then YOU'RE a nit-wit. Very helpful and clear of his expectations. He is even more helpful if you visit him during his office hours.
Boring class! He is very cocky... you don't ever have to go and you can get an A. The assignments are easy, just watch out for Access, that one needs some time, the rest can be done within 30 minutes.
easy, read carefully, i took it online, you don't need to devote much time to it, just stay up to date with the material.
Baldauf was really funny and had examples for everything. One day we spent half of lecture watching a bug on the overhead.
good teacher
Oh Ken, he is such a corny teacher but he tries really hard. His jokes cracked me up, but didn't seem to impress the masses. His class is easy, but recitation saved my arse. I am not very good with computers so his lecture tests were somewhat difficult
this is the easiest class i have ever taken in my life. its like teaching microsoft word. who doesnt already know how to use that? great gpa booster!
i took the class online, and it was so easy. only had to go in for 2 tests, otherwise the assignments were completed and dropped in the virtual dropbox. many many many opportunities for extra credit. can easily have a very very good grade and doesn't require much time at all.
he was alright
If you're looking for an easy class, take CGS2060, Comp Lit. If you're looking for a challenging and useful class, take CGS2064, Comp Lit II.
easy credits, and you never really have to show up for lecture. Most of the grading is hands on material you learn in recitation, but you better hope you get a good TA. Mr. Bauldolf is very helpful too, and if you have a problem with your computer, he can give some helpful advice. Also helps people understand the assignment better.
Easy easy easy class! Good professor!
Good. Can get dull sometimes.
It's not hard, just boring, he's nice.
Very easy class. If you know anything about computers, you'll do well in this class. I took the webbased version, and got an A, no problem. Don't take the webbased if you're not good with keeping up with due dates. Do every single thing he lists to do on his assignments. Don't skip over anything.
very boring class...tries to make it somewhat interesting by playing music at the beginning of class....not necessary to go to class at all....lecture class is really boring but overall if you go to recitation you will get a B at least
AWESOME TEACHER!! Very helpful! Take the online class!! So easy!! I took the webbased version, and got an A, no problem. Don't take the webbased if you're not good with keeping up with due dates. You have to do 4 assignments and take two tests throughout the semester. Dont skip over anything. Do everything he posts online!
EASIEST CLASS AT FSU!!! Never went to one class and ended up with a high A. His tests are easy because when you do the practice they are word for word as on the test so just memorize the answers. Assignments are a joke too. I was so lazy i waited to the last minute to do everything and got a 95 in the class. TAKE IT!!!
Easy class, and the SAM Software is an excellent tutorial that will help guide you through the class and is very useful in learing the microsoft office suite. Fair grading scale and all around a useful class.
Took Online Class, Let Me Sum It Up, If You Can't Pass This Class then you should be Demoted back to Elementary School
Very easy teacher. I was only required to go to class because it met only once a week. If you want a teacher that is easy, fun and helpful then take ANY class that he offers. Its an easy A!!...Didn't have to study and he gives EXTRA CREDIT!!!
Class is a joke, just ridiculously easy, but the professor's a jerk. In class, he's fine, but if you email him, he won't take the time to read your email and if he does reply, it will always be misunderstood, and it seems like he's ready to jump down your throat for asking a question. Not a nice guy.
Great professor, over looks computer class. just follow instructions and easy easy A. I took online section so never had to attend class
Seriously...take the online class. I can't even imagine wasting my time by having to attend lecture. He makes videos for the online class that are so easy to understand and are SUPER helpful.
Easy A..I took it online and the day the work is due, i would do it in about an hour. Easy A but you do learn intresting things though
This class is easy. There's work, but they aren't that bad. Take the online class. It's a lot better. Easy A class for sure. Gives lots of extra credit.
SOO EASY!!! i took it online and it only took a little while to complete the assignments and it was super easy. he gave like 50 points of extra credit too!
easiest class on the face of the earth
A good prof and an easy class...the only tricky part is that he now passes out attendence sheets (fairly discretely) about halfway through his lectures to catch the kids that show up and leave early...still doesn't have an impact on your grade. Take this class if you can, it's easy
nice guy, long lectures
His class is easy. He is also very attractive. Highly Recommend!!
Take class online. Very easy, very clear assignments and fair test.
This class is really easy. I never went. I just went to the recitation class to take tests. The tutorials really help. I made a B but wouldve made an A if i had attended more.
The class was overall, easy since it's a university requirement. Here's some advice, however: DO NOT wait til the last minute to do your assignments. Go to lecture because in the end you may not have enough points to get an A, and he gives extra credit.
Take the on-line class! hardest part of the class is the vocab from the book. I got a 70 on 1 vocab and a 47 on another and stilled pulled an A though
Really cool and nice guy. He can teach you a lot if you are not the most computer savy person in the world. Stupid easy class. You will have to do a project using several Office applications like Excel and Word but they are quite simple. Also a few super easy exams on the concepts he goes over in class.
Easy class. I took it online and I got a 98%. You only need the book to study vocab for test. Just do assignments early, his cd shows you how to do them. I can't imagine having to go to a lecture for this class. Definitely take him.
Only assigns 4 assignments...all superrr easy and the book includes a cd that shows you (step by step) how to do the assignments. Tests are the only tricky part. There are 2 and the vocab parts aren't too easy. Make sure you study the vocab words for the concepts part. But no final exam. Definitely take it online.
This class is really easy. The assignments you have to do are pretty boring but there are only like 4 of them.
Save yourselves the $135 online fee & take the reg course. The only time you need to physically be there is for 1st day attendance.His lectures only concern the txtbook which can be done on your own.the 4 Microsoft Office assignments are easy & he doesnt even touch upon them in class. besides 50% of his tests only cover txtbook material. EASY!!!!!!
very easy A...joke class
Ken's a good guy. He's kind of a push-over, but he has a great class plan and you can really learn a TON in this class. Also, be super cool to the TAs because you'll probably need their help on some projects. They saved me all the time. As long as you TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, you'll get a lot of great skills that you'll use again later on.
I don't think Ken's a pushover. He just doesn't trip about stupid stuff that most professors would. Easy A if you FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. He's always open to new ideas, he understands and cares if you need help with something. I learned a lot in his Web Dev class! His TAs are really helpful, too. Definitely take him if you have the option.
Understanding guy. Quizzes are online(unlimited attempts),tests are repeat of the quizzes but in class. Hw is majority of the grade, follow the directions, guides you step by step. TA's are GREAT. They'll help you with anything! The purpose of this class is to take the pressure off getting a good grade n actually learning a thing or two! It worked!
Take him! You will learn a lot in his class! You will have class assignments (easy as long as you follow the directions), quizzes (unlimited attempts), and tests (which are based on the quizzes). Attendance is mandatory but Friday's are usually optional. He gives extra credit! I got an 101% in the class.
Super nice guy. Very helpful, and honestly wants you to understand the material. Recommend him to anyone, even those not interested in web design.
His class is easy, but when it comes to dealing with him personally, it is dreadful. He does not reply to emails promptly (which is the only means of contact I had with him in his ONLINE class). He's very spiteful. Passive-aggressive. Can't wait to get my A and never have to deal with him again.
Ditto what the previous poster mentioned about him being passive aggressive and spiteful. He's inexplicably jaded, for sure. Other than that, the class was okay. I took it based on the ratings here and would not do it again. Unless you're well versed or interested in this sort of thing... Definitely not a chill summer elective.
I took his class online. There was a very easy setup. Online quizzes and tests, online reading, and very clearly defined projects. I found the learning community and participation assignments to be unnecessary and annoying. The class is very easy and you actually learn the content so overall I would still recommend taking it.
His lectures are torturous but the class is easy as it could possibly be. He's a really nice guy but he's very monotone and slow. The exams are literally the quizzes put together, and you can take the quizzes as many times as you want- NO REASON to get anything but a 100%. The projects are difficult but so much help is offered.
I took Baldauf for intro to web design and he was great. I took it as an online class with no prior experience and I got by with an A. The TA's were very helpful and Ken was very clear with directions. The projects are time consuming but it's a fun class and you definitely learn a lot.
The clearest and most straightforward online class I've taken. From day 1, you will know every assignment and every due date. No tricks. He provides lots of student resources for the class and his TA's are very accessible for help if needed.
Professor Baldauf is an excellent teacher and really cares a lot about his students, I would definitely recommend taking him, he is my favorite professor at FSU. The class is extremely straightforward and he makes it very enjoyable!
You have to work, but this class is WORTH it with how much you learn! Mr. Baldauf is intelligent, ready to help and quite comical. I would highly recommend him. This was one of the best classes I've ever paid for! The TAs are super helpful as well. If you need to learn codingweb design, you won't regret taking him!
Don't take this class unless you're legitimately interested in learning how to design websites. (Which you should be no matter your major) The directions are crystal clear and help is accessible so as long as you stay up on the weekly assignments you'll be fine. Otherwise you'll have nothing but yourself to blame.
Ken is an amazing professor. He is extremely clear in his instructions and I feel that I learned a lot in the class. It was my first time EVER taking a coding course and i didn't feel lost for even a second. (Although, that one time, when I did, Ken was easy to access and helped me right along)If you're considering taking the course, DO IT!
Very easy class, assignments weren't bad at all. Videos he provides show you exactly what to do and how to change the website to your liking. He's very responsive if you ever have questions. Overall I loved this class and it was enjoyable. recommend anyone to take it, best class I've had (:
I liked the lay out of the class. You got an assignment every week which gradually got harder and harder, but nothing to bad. The teacher and the TA were great at help with any problem. The weekly assignment are the meat of the class, mid and final are the quizzes which I find easy so that was nice with the other classes mids and finals going on.
Ken rulez
Easy A if you aren't as lazy as I am. No class on Fridays (in addition to there barely being class any other day). Just do your assignments and unlimited attempt quizzes at home when you feel like it but BEWARE, turning in assignments late can cost you. Only 2 exams and they were both easy 100s. Deff one of the easier classes i've ever taken.
Easy class to introduce anyone to web design and the world of HTML. Those interested in web design, CS, and IT should definitely consider taking this course. As long as you do the weekly projects(which are very easy as long as you follow the instructions) there is no reason for not getting an A. Also there is barely ever class which is a plus!
Baldauf is so awesome! His website is super helpful even in later classes. This was my first coding class and I had NO CLUE what I was doing, but by the end I was set on an IT major.
This class has a pretty heavy workload, but the instructor and TA's are VERY helpful in providing direction and resources. You will learn a lot in the course. Late work is accepted at a 10% daily penalty. Some extra credit is provided.
Great class! Learn quite a bit; Ken has great videos and examples to demonstrate how to do the material. Highly recommend!
Ken is great. I took this course in 6wks, online, over the summer, & he still was one of the most interactive professors I've ever had. I made a Ratemyprofessor account just to make a post about him. You work for the grade, but if you follow his instructions & put in time, you will get an A. Everything I learned was new to me & I got an A.
Ken is awesome. He let's you know exactly what he expects and strives to guide you to success in the course. The assignments may be tedious, but he gives ample time to complete them. You'll learn a lot if you actually take your time going through rather than doing them just to get it over with.
Best class I have probably taken for my major. He is awesome and is willing to help if you need it. He gives you videos step by step how to complete the assignments. You have a lot of time to complete them. He has two exams and they are the questions from the assignment quizzes. You will enjoy this class!
I took this course for Summer B (6weeks) and although there was a lot of work, I have never earned an easier grade. Literally got a 100% in the class and all I did was followed his online lecture videos and got full credit for my assignments. His tests are extremely easy. Hard not to get an A in this class. Allows a lot of extra credit
Ken is the best! Even though it was online him and his TA, Hope, really cared for every student and wanted them to pass. Tons of projects (13) but they're super easy and have follow along videos to finish them but they do take a good 4 hours each about except for 3 which are shorter. Definitely take it!!
Professor Baldauf is amazing! He's always smiling or doing something for the school. The class is relatively easy, mainly class projects and assignments.
I love this professor! If you go to FSU and need a scholarship in practice, you should definitely take his class. The class was super easy filled with group projects and creative thinking. If you want an easy A or just a fun class, this is it!
best teacher at fsu!!!! last group project was a video and we even had a pizza party!!! would recommend him 10/10/. Easiest scholarship in practice at fsu!
the class is really fun and gives you a new perspective on innovation. show up and participate because the whole class is basically 2 group projects, but other then that there is minimal work on your own time. no tests or quizzes just a midterm and you know what questions to study! professor Baldauf is a cool, caring guy that really knows his stuff
Really great professor. I enjoyed his class in the fall you can tell he really cares about his students passing the class and is known as one of the best professors at FSU. If your looking for a class to fulfill your scholarship in practice requirement take his class!
Ken is an amazing professor and really cares about his students. He was easily accessible and always ready to listen to his students. Class was overall super easy and only had one group project where the work was divided amongst us. If you are looking for a great SIP definitely take this one !
Professor Baldauf was so sweet! He was so caring and just wanted you to find passion in innovation and design thinking. You can tell he really cares about what he does and he shares his excitement with you. Very easy class as long as you show up and do the work he tells you to which is very clearly instructed and detailed. Easy and fun class!
Great class to take to fulfill scholarship in practice. Very nice professor. Made the class super easy. There are some quizzes online that you can retake to get the grade you want. Grade is mostly based on participation and group projects.
Overall good guy and teacher, however, will refuse to connect with you if you have different ways of thinking. If he can't connect with you, he will become somewhat passive aggressive which decreases your credibility within your group. If you're an entrepreneurship major take this class, if not, good luck.
Ken's class was my favorite class I had last semester, the material was super fascinating to learn about, and he made the semester fly by! Take his class and you will not regret it!
The class is super easy, and the professor is a really chill and funny guy. The whole class is based around one major group project which seemed daunting at first, but all group work is done in class and the project is broken up into small digestible pieces. Super easy class would recommend if looking for something to buff out your schedule.
Love Professor Baldauf took his class for ENT 3607 and loved it. He's engaging & gives group work however he gives you time in class to work in groups. Not much homework but attendance is mandatory. His work is engaging and relevant to the course. He is also very flexible with extensions. If you need a scholarship and practice definitely take.
Great professor. Class is very easy, and you spend the entire semester working on a group project. Very lenient and easy grader.
Professor Baldauf's class is a breeze - just focus on the group project and you're golden. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for acing the quizzes. Attendance is mandatory, but the material is engaging and the grading is flexible.
