I really enjoyed the class and her teaching. I thought she was awesome and was a really easy grader.

her class is very easy and does not assign to much work. recommended teacher.

she was sooo fun!!!!

First and foremost, Mary Baron is a poet. She expects that you have a true interest in writing, and therefore are willing to work. She is a very intelligent woman- as far as poetry goes, anything that comes out of her mouth is gold.

Childrens lit: It was fun and pretty easy. She grades kinda hard on the papers though.

Baron is a great professor. She is well traveled and educated. Her choice of readings was done very well for her class, and she provokes thought in your discussions. She is understanding and an all around good professor.

I enjoy her class. Informative and innovative way of teaching. Books are very interesting and discussions are lively. I love her class

I love Dr. Baron, the reading list is over 15 books, but they are fast reads. Interesting discussions and very thought provoking. I learned more in this class than all the other classes combined. If you want to teach kids, this is the class and the professor to take.

**** radical feminist. Men: Do not take

Hard teacher to please. Love the topics of discussion, and that's the only reason I stayed in the class, but otherwise it was not worth the average grade!

Over 16 book to read, but they go fast. Seems easy talking in circles & breaking into groups, but very informative. Great if you're going to be a teacher. I think she is innovative. Only problem would be 2 major grades, presentations, peers grade & final,have no idea what she wants w/writing

Innovative. You must do the reading and actively participate. Her classes are engaging. I would take her class again and again. I love the way she facilitates learning. One of the Best English Professors on campus. She really goes the extra mile.

REALLY sweet lady...REALLY GOOD TEACHER!!! Her class is easy, but you WILL still learn stuff. She was VERY interesting to listen to and her assignments rocked. I recommend her to ANYONE. She is always there to help and will talk about your grades any time you need. If you're not good at english, take with her and you will love it!

She is a great teacher. I enjoyed her teaching style. It was very hands on and interactive. If you don't like group work, then don't take her class.She is easy but you still learn alot. A refereshing teacher if all you have had is long, boring lecturers.

She was such a great teacher. She made learning about literature kinda fun. And she never gave any hard assignments.

Awesome Class. Great lady who applied class material to everyday situations. I got an A and would take her again.

Pretty good teacher, but very disorganized. I prefferred Marnie Jones.

True, Dr. Baron is a little disorganized, but she also doesn't give out many tests. Just pay attention. I don't think she would even notice if we hadn't read the books. well, maybe, but this class is easy and interesting for the most part. If your schedule is kind of full, this is almost for sure an A if you pay attention.

Very interesting class. I really liked Dr. Barron. She does have health issues that caused her to cancel class once, but who doesn't like a day off? Very sweet lady, and the class wasn't that hard. Related material to relevant issues. I am going to take two of her classes next semester.

Good, fair teacher. I had problems this term and she still helped me even when other professors sadly shirked their duty because they could. She actually cares about students. She does get a little disorganized it seems at times, but if you talk to her she is always willing to help. Attendance is a must in her class, but so long as you are will

Dr. Baron has a way of teaching material in a fun way. It can be a little childish, but it shows to be effective. Keep up on the reading and you will do just fine. She does take roll every class so if possible avoid an 8:00am with her.

The class was pretty fun overall.. but watchout she requires attendance and if your late you will get a tardy. Besides that I never read anything and I still did fine, she makes us do a lof of group projects but none of them are hard. she will ask you if u need more time on the paper and give u it if u need it so thats nice. l i would take her agai

She is very intelligent. I've taken a few classes with her and they're not too difficult. Attendance is strictly required. Her teaching methods are a little unorthodox and non-linear. She doesn't stick to a syllabus. At the end of the semester, though, I felt like I learned a lot.

Took two classes with her last semester and enjoyed them. She is a bit disorganized, I suppose, but I feel like I actually learned something, partly because she IS intelligent and partly because of the group learning style. It's easy to get a passing grade in her class(es) if you attend.

Dr. Baron is nice. But nice is not always what we need as students is it? Here are the problems: She is disorganized, you will have no idea what your grade will be, she is very unpredictable in her grading (I have taken her twice; first time A, second time B+, same effot and dedication on my part)She never remembers her students' names :-(

Dr. Baron a well rounded professor with a lot to teach students. Please attend class, it's required and the lectures are insightful. While she can treat students like they're in high school, she is a very effective teacher. She's seen too much to fall for the usual excuses students give. I recommend her if you're not a slacker.

Good teacher, tough but fair, and wants you to learn. Facilitates lively discussion - doesn't just lecture the whole class. *NOTICE* USES CLICKERS FOR ALL CLASSES - Record keeping is problematic. Attendance is taken on the moment of class starting, come 5 mins early.

Dr. Baron is such a great professor! Yes,she is demanding, but she has her doctorate in English. I definitely recommend her if you are not a slacker!

Great teacher, I dont like group work, but I loved hers. I had a lot of fun in the class. There is always a lot of reading but it isn't boring so it goes fast. I enjoyed her class, she is a very difficult grader but she is really nice and slightly intimidating. I would recommend her to any english major!!

Dr. Baron has been teaching a long time and has a lot of experience in literature. I enjoyed her class, but I'm not a teenager or a young 20-something either, and she doesn't have much patience for their crap. Lots of reading, go to class, read the selections, and pay attention and you'll do well.

Dr. Baron is profoundly intelligent. She knows the material as well as most of us know our own names. She is sometimes scatterbrained, but always gives her students the benefit of the doubt. She is intimidating at first, but she's a very sweet lady and her primary interest is in educating the future generations. Take her if you value knowledge.

Dr. Baron is a very intelligent woman, educated at some of the nation's best universities. Therefore, she holds high expectations for her students: responsibility from the young ones and intelligence/critical thinking (more than just organization and effort) from the older ones.

also took her for prob. of evil. pretty easy grader. she is incredibly sweet and probably has an amazing resume. Will go above and beyond for her students. She has literally been everywhere and is very knowledgeable. however, the prob of evil class was incredibly unorganized and felt like a waste compared to the children's lit. take child. lit!

This online class was surprisingly great. Professor Baron has clear expectations, sets up a clear schedule, and is understanding towards students. Basically, there are short reading quizzes and discussion board posts to do each week, which is definitely manageable. Also, the topics were pretty interesting overall.

Dr. Baron's course was little disorganized. At the beginning of the semester, she made us purchase about 16 books and we only used about 10. If you take her, don't buy all your books in advance. It may take you awhile to figure out exactly what she wants from you, but once you do, it's beyond easy to get an A.

I took poetry workshop and Mary Baron is brilliant! She will not tolerate cell phone use or extensive absences! There might occasionally be a lack of clarity on due dates so just ask her! She always responded quickly to my emails. Her teaching inspired me to continue writing and take the course again for credit with another professor.

Mary's the kind of woman who makes her students raise to her level. This is a trait to be respected. She is tough, but she is worth it. Take her in class lectures. The way she speaks sounds like poetry. I am a poet because of people like Mary Baron. She is a treasure. Take her poetry class! She makes you grow.

Professor Baron is so kind hearted and amazing. However, she does not know how to use canvas and cannot figure out how to upload grades correctly or use the side tabs. So always ask her. Prepare to read all assignments. She has small assignments for class grades that are done at home for not many points and one final project.
