Dr. Baath is the BEST professor I have ever had. I took her only for the lab portion of Bio 141, and I would without a doubt take her for another class. She is one of the most caring people that I have ever met, and she is a GREAT teacher. She will help you with anything you need, and is always willing to explain things again.

Take her if you get the chance! She is the best lab instructor I've had. She is so sweet and genuinely cares about the students learning. She doesn't rush through the material and grades fairly. Great professor!

Dr. Baath is a great lab prof for Anatomy 2. She has lab quizzes every lab, but she lets you use the book and your notes. Anytime I was confused, she took her time to help me understand the material better. She is a great professor and cares that her students learn. She tries to grade lab practicals as least-strict as she can.

Dr. Baath is the best professor you could get in the bio department at USI. She is very informative and helpful. She cares so much about her students and wants them all to succeed. If you need help with something, she will help you-- even if it isn't for her class. She is honestly the best professor I've ever had.

Dr. Baath is easy to understand and makes hard concepts a breeze. I was so nervous before starting her class, but she is a true gem. She genuinely cares for her students and wants to ensure everyone understands. Always willing to explain if you have trouble. She is amazing, I can't imagine why anyone would have anything negative to say about her.

Dr. Baath more than surpassed the expectations I had towards this class. Although material can get challenging at times her approach to the topics makes things easier to follow. Not only does she grade very quickly, but is always willing to help you out. I found her study guides extremely useful and labs much easier than those in High School.

I had her for the lab portion of BIO 141. She created such a good atmosphere during lab days. She made me feel at ease and confident during labs. She explains things clearly and is always willing to go the extra mile to help! She mentored me and gave me lots of encouragement/advice. She is an astounding professor and woman!!

Dr. Baath is so amazing and nice! I took her class as a hybrid so our lectures were online and our labs were in person one day a week. Her class is super easy as long as you watch the lectures on VT and attend the labs. Lab quizzes and exams are also pretty easy! Beware there is a small research paper towards the end of the semester.

Had her for lab portion of Principles of Biology. Was one of my favorite professors so far. She was super thorough, I never had to even really ask any questions during any of the labs.

Such a good professor. You can tell she has a passion for what she teaches. Very nice, does not require a textbook. The lecture part was online and the lab was in person for me. The labs usually got out 20 minutes early. The online lectures are a little boring but helpful for the exams. Very nice and easy going.

Dr. Baath made Human Biology quite enjoyable and memorable! Usually, this class has a forum lecture in addition to a lab, don't let this barrier prevent you from getting to know Dr. Baath. It is clear that she is passionate in her career and genuinely cares for each of her students academic endeavors. I would take her class again, in a heart beat!

Loved Professor Baath! You can tell that she is really passionate about what she teaches. She is very caring, nice, and fun to be around. She is very intelligent, but teaches bio in a way that is easy to understand. Definitely recommend taking a course with her.

Dr. Baath's class was easily my favorite class this semester. She was so knowledgeable about Human Biology and she never tried to trick us up. Everything on the exams were straight off the lecture powerpoints. I would highly recommend anyone to take a class with Dr. Baath she was great. Now I feel more prepared for Anatomy 1 next semester.

She is really nice and funny. I had her for lab too and she really tries to make sure that everyone understands and has a chance to succeed in class. The course is kind of difficult, just because of the material though. She teaches it all really well.

She is very engaging when she speaks and ends up being a rather funny person. However, when she explains something, it can be in a kind of roundabout way, so it can get kind of confusing. The labs can be kind of difficult and are graded rather harshly. The labs themselves aren't hard to do, and she will answer questions if you have them.

Great professor. Only things in the grade book is lecture exams, lab exams, and a couple pop quizzes here and there. Participation matters if you want to build up your grade. Overall great professor just beware of the bulk of your grade being exams. All materials can be found online.

i absolutely LOVED dr. baath! she lectures over whats on the exam(no surprises) and cares about student success. she gives pop quizzes(open note) for attendance at least 1x/week in lecture, and gives 7q quizzes in lab over last week's lab. if you dont study, you WILL do poorly on exams(mcq only). put in the effort and pay attention during lecture.
