Mr. Baker is the best professor I've ever had. You must attend his class and take notes to pass test but he gives you all the information you need to know for you test. Plus, he gives you a study guide for every test and extra credit is avaliable for every test. Take him for psych and you wont be dissapointed!
If you are looking for a psych prof, DEFINITELY take Dr. Baker. Although it is a large class, he is so helpful and does everything that he can to make sure that his students succeed in the class and he really does care if his students do well in his classes. He also gives you all the notes you need for class so be smart about it and go to class.
Continued: Dr. Baker also provides you with a lot of extra credit oppurtunities for each exam and he gives you a study guide for each exam which is really helpful. I would definitely reccomend Dr. Baker, you are definitely going to learn a lot in the class
Dr. Baker was an awesome professor!! His test really arent difficult at all if you take notes and study them before the exam, he even gives study guides. He's kind of nerdy but its funny. Go to class and pay attention and he will do everything he can to make sure you do good.
Dr. Baker is so funny! The class is easy and interesting. Just don't take it at 8 AM like I did, or it won't be nearly as enjoyable. I love Dr. Baker, and I would recommend him to everyone! Tests aren't hard at all if you do the Study Guide.
Dr. Baker is extremely helpful! easy A if you study the study guides! TAKE HIM!!!
Dr. Baker is so nice!!!He gives you notes and studyguides, his exam questions come from both of them. He is funny and very sweet, he seems like he cares about his students. Definitely recommend him!! :D
He's really passionate about his field of work & makes class interesting for Monday morning. I overslept through class several times & still got A's on the exams. He makes the subject matter really easy to comprehend. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, especially freshmen trying to transition.
Baker's class was great! He gives out extra credit quizzes regularly and they are super easy and really help your grade. He also puts study guides up for the four tests in advance which is great. His power points are right to the point and you don't have to go to class but you need to to make an A. Just study and you will do well!
Dr. Baker was an amazing professor, if you study the study guide you will do good on his test. Also do the optional quizes, they help your grade alot
Dr. Baker is so awesome! While all my friends struggled in their classes, Dr. Baker's class was super easy but interesting at the same time! He is probably the easiest professor at ECU!
He is amazing! I loved his class and i did not miss a day of it. He gives you notes and if you just read over your notes you will pass all of his tests. He is amazing! Greattt professor
Go to class get the extra credit. Fun easy A
Great techer take this class!!
While attendance isn't mandatory you should still go to his class it is super fun! Copy his notes and study them, you will make an A. He does a great job relating the topics to real life situations. Funny in an awesomely nerdy way. My favorite professor!
If you want a really fun and interesting class with an A take this guy!!
Fantastic teacher!! This has by far been my favorite teacher and class at ECU. Dr. Baker is very clear when he tells you what information you need to know for his exams. He doesn't distribute power-points; however, if you attend class regularly and copy his slides then you should do fairly well. In fact.. just go to class and don't buy the book.
Really fun class.Teacher kept my attention and made the subject matter relevant to everyday life.
Greattttt teacher. Uses examples easy for students to remember. Would most definitely take another of his classes. My favorite professor thus far.
Great professor and fantastic class. Overall easy if you take the time to study the provided material.
Great professor! If you study the study guides you will do good on his test.
Baker is awesome! Attendance isn't mandatory but you will always do better on the test if you attend his lectures. And he's VERY funny (or at least tries to be) so lectures are fun.
Dr. Baker is a really great professior. He always tries to answer your question and really cares about his job. Plus he makes some really corny jokes :)
This guy is a very good teacher. He explains the teaching very well and is willing to help if needed. If you have to take psychology take this guy. Study and you'll receive an A!!!!!! Oh yea always gives extra cred!
Extra credit quizes, tests are kinda hard though.
I really enjoy Dr. Baker because he is very passionate about what he is teaching. He is tall and kind of nerdy looking but his lectures are interesting (some days). All of his study guides are EXACTLY like the test but you MUST study. I finished with a B and this is not really my subject. Do all of the quizzes and online surveys. Go to class!
Outstanding professor. Creates his own instructional videos. Teaches up to date material. Your best choice in the PSYC department.
Dr. Baker is an excellent professor. His lectures are very organized and structured, and he does a wonderful job of explaining the material. He is very patient and will answer any of your questions. I couldn't have had a better professor for Research Methods. He is one of the best psychology professors in the department without a doubt! Take him!
Dr. Baker was very well organized with labs and lectures. He was accessible through office hours, email, after class, and during lab time. I appreciated the way he used his own work to support lecture material. The study guides and review sessions were very helpful. Take his class, learn a lot, and do not skip out on the reviews.
Dr. Baker is an excellent professor. All you have to do as a student is come to class to take notes from the power points and study.He is always offering extra help if you need it. I definitely recommend taking his class you can't go wrong.
Dr. Baker was a great professor who was truly informed in what he was teaching about. He always brought in personal examples to help explain the subject which was great, and he also provided outside help when needed. Extra credit quizzes help alot as well!
Mr. Baker is a wonderful professor. The material can be hard but he explains it very well and is extremely helpful. Attendance isn't required but to receive the password to quizzes you have to go to class. The exams are basically the study guide.
He was a very good professor, willing to help at any given time. The material wasn't that hard you just have to pay attention and take notes. Study guides are given and it is exactly what you see on the test! I would definitely recommend Mr. Baker!
Dr. Baker is an awesome instructor. He will help you as much as possible. He will look over your research paper for corrections. For the final he will let you look over previous tests that help tremendously for the final. The study guides are straight forward and make sure you know how to apply the information. Great and helpful teacher overall!
Mr. Baker was a very nice man. His classes were fun and interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory but he gives out quizzes at the end of each chapter and you need to be in class to get the password to open the quiz. All quizzes are extra credit though. The notes he gives in class are relevant to the tests. Take his class!
Dr. Baker is the best professor ever at ECU, and he is so adorable! Exams are challenging but he helps you prepare for them adequately by going over the study guide. I loved his class. Best Research Methods professor in the department.
One of the best classes I've ever taken. Dr. Baker keeps the class interesting and his tests aren't too hard. Learned a lot. Defiantly would recommend him
Research methods ain't no joke!!! Glad its over.. Dr. Baker is probably one of the best professors u can take it with though....highly recommended.
I enjoyed Dr. Baker's class. I didn't really like the boring research material though he was an excellent professor. Labs were also incredibly boring, but he tried to make them as interesting as possible. Tests come directly from notes & study guide. He is very helpful and friendly! I would definitely take another course under him.
Teaches straight from the textbook. Don't even buy it if u go to class. I only wish we had spent more time going over how to write the research proposal during our lab times cause I was unsure about a lot of it. Tests are ok if you do the study guides! Gives curves too when class performs poorly. Awesome teacher.. defintly recommended.
Dr.Baker is a phenomenal professor and is extremely helpful when it comes to helping you understand the material in class. There are four exams total, each with the possibility for extra credit points,and he gives great notes and study guides for each exam. Highly recommend to anyone taking Psychology.
The psychology class of Dr. Baker made me double major in psychology.
Dr. Baker is one of the best psych professors at ECU. If you attend class don't buy the book! Everything comes from his notes that he provides in class. Provides study guides and multiple extra credit opportunities. Final isn't accumulative, which is a plus! Very easy A if you ask me.
Intro to Social Psychology was great! Dr. Baker is a fine instructor. His presentation of the material is well organized, and goes along with the book. His PowerPoints are great too. I'm glad I took this class, and I hope to take another class by him.
What a cutie! Boring class though.
Dr. Baker is wonderful! If you get the opportunity to take a class with him, you absolutely should! I took him for Intro Psych and I am in his Personality Psych class now. He is always animated in class and gives great examples for clarity of confusing topics. Take him, he's phenomenal!
Mr. Baker is one of the best teachers at ECU. I wouldn't reccomend buying the book if you regularly attend class. If you do attend, then you will most likely receive a good grade. Mr. Baker makes psychology fun and easy to understand. I highly suggest taking this class.
Really good teacher! As long as you go to class and take notes you will do fine. Study the studguides he gives out because they are basically the test.
Dr. Baker is so nice! His Social Psych class is super easy too. He gives you a study guide before each test and the study guides are pretty much identical to the tests which are multiple choice. TAKE HIM! You won't regret it
Great Professor! He really knows what he is talking about and you can really tell that he loves the subject he teaches! Take him!
Lecture class with multiple choice tests that have study guides...overall not a bad class...do the study guides in advance and you will be fine.
casual,receptive,clear,helpfulinformative
Cool teacher, just take the notes he gives you in class and you'll make an A.
Mr. Baker is awesome! He gives study guides for all his test and he gives extra credit. Attendance is not mandatory, but you should go to class to get the notes.
Mr. Baker is so nice and helpful! I actually enjoyed going to this class because he made it relaxed. Its a plus that attendance is not mandatory and the tests questions come right off of the study guide. You will want to go to class. I would definitely reccomend taking him!!
He is very helpful. At first I wasnt sure about taking pysch but after the first few days, I started to really enjoy the class! If you go to class and take notes and do the study guides and extra credit quizzes - you will do well in his class!
Mr. Baker was my favorite teacher this semester. If it wasnt a 9am class i would have went to all of his classes. He is very easy going and is interested in helping the students.
He is a great teacher. He tells stories that help you to understand the material. If you go to class, take notes and study them, you'll do great on tests. He is always willing to help anyone and he'll give extra credit. He loves what he does.
Dr. Baker is such a great professor! It's obvious that he loves what he does. He is extremely clear when he teaches, and he's always willing to help anyone who needs it. He gives extra credit opportunities and he is available for office time. Overall, he was definitely my favorite professor this semester!
Dr. Baker is an awesome professor! He is extremely clear in what he teaches, and if you don't understand he will do his best to help you understand! His study guides are extremely helpful! Go to class, take notes, and do the study guide and there is no doubt you will pass this class! I hope to have him as a professor again!
Great professor, he may be boring at some times but he try his best to keep the class entertain with all his video's and his explanation of things. This class is not hard or easy but if you apply yourself you should get through with ease.
Great Teacher! Class is set up in lecture, and his power points go over each chapter thoroughly. Attendance isn't mandatory. You don't necessary have to have the textbook, but I recommend it for when studying for tests. There are more tests than normal, all multiple choice but if you pay attention and use the study guide you should do fine!
He talks on the personality psyc domains. Copy ppt notes you'll need the info for tests. He tests straight off the study guides. He speaks on relevant topics. It was enjoying to go to his lectures. He has occasional videos to bolster his powerpoints. There is occasional comedy intertwined within the lectures. Great Professor.
He gives study guides for all tests and they pretty much tell you what will be on each test. I skipped multiple classes and still will be receiving an A. He is very nice and if you miss a class you can go to his office and he will give you the notes that he covered in class.
Dr. Baker is very knowledgeable of his subject and is moderately entertaining as a teacher. If you like visuals and real world examples, he is a good match as your professor.
Dr. Baker was a very nice and understading teacher! he was always very helpful and clear during his lectures
GREAT teacher! Attendance isn't mandatory but it is really helpful. He gives great examples (and numerous ones) so it makes it easier to remember when you're studying or taking the test.
GO TO CLASS and you will do well! I didn't buy the book, but he gives such good lectures, that I still have made an A on every exam.
Very helpful and informative. If you are a psychology major this is a must!
Grades are checked and submitted onto blackboard in a timely manner. Most of the time you only have to wait a couple hours for a grade which is great.
One of the best professors I have ever had at ECU. He makes class enjoyable and he is very helpful when you go to his office! Making an A in his class is possible. Just go to class and study!
Great Professor. I looked forward to going to his lectures every day. He knows his stuff and is enjoyable to learn from. Make sure to take good notes. The material you learn is applicable to your life. Definitely take!
AWESOME PROFESSOR! Very clear and easy to understand. He doesn't hold attendance against you, but you MUST go to class to get information. Also- quizzes are password protected, which you only get from going to class. Always will to help, tests are straight from powerpoints/study guides. TAKE HIM!
I've had Dr. Baker for Research Methods, Personality and Social Psychology. He is one of the best professors at ECU. He's helpful, genuine and you will thoroughly enjoy his class. He keeps his classes very interesting and the tests are easier if you study your study guide. Great Psych professor and better than most at ECU. Definitely recommend him.
Dr. Baker is funny and his class is pretty enjoyable. He definitely wants all his students to do well. As long as you complete the study guides and pay attention in class you're guaranteed an A.
He is a great professor. This was my second class with him. He will really help you out if you go see him. I just never had the time this semester. Although attendance is not mandatory it would be extremely helpful to go.
Very enjoyable class. Not difficult at all. Your grade comes from 3 tests and the final exam. So you must be able to perform well on the tests. Taking notes on the computer is helpful when making the study guide. All questions are based on his study guide. He gives lots of examples on concepts and expects you to know the for the test. I approve!
Funny guy, likes technology
If you want your fate to be decided by 4 tests. And that is ALL. All of which are extremely wordy. You must study your material and know it INSIDE AND OUT to make a decent grade. AND don't forget those videos he shows in class because they are on there too. O___O
Attendance not required, but I would suggest going if you want to get a good grade in the class. Good teacher, good study guides.
He was a really good teacher, I had him for social psychology. Attendance is not mandatory but its better to go because its easier to understand all the concepts when he explains them rather than reading them in the book. Over all it was a great class and he is very halpful! :)
Dr. Baker is such an awesome professor! His social psychology class is very interesting and I highly recommend taking it!
Great teacher, loves his job and enthusiastic lectures. Extremely helpful and tests are straightforward and go along with study guide great! Do a little extra reading in the book on each topic listed on study guide and you will do well on tests.
I wish I bought the book for this class because his tests are straight from it! You have to pay attention in this class to pass. It was one of the hardest classes I have had for psychology, harder than STATS and I am so glad I got through with a B. He is a good professor, always prepared and funny.
Dr. Baker is extremely nice and very helpful. I had a baby midsemester and he was very willing to work with me when i returned to class. Take him if you can. He provides the study guides for all classes ahead of time and allows you to look over them during his office which if you do that you should pass the final with no problem
Great Professor!! Very helpful and presents the material in a very comprehensible way. He also provides study guides for each exam!!
Great Professor all around, I made an A
Very nice guy and always willing to help! Great teacher!
I liked him. he was very helpful and nice. when you asked for help he gave you help not like some others. The plus side for me was that I already love psych.
Great class, especially if you're interested in psychology! He is a very understanding and accomodating professor if you don't wait until the last minute to ask questions
He is a great teacher! I wish I had gone to class more. There was no attendance and I managed to pull off a decent grade. He provides study guides for every exam, USE THEM! Take notes from his powerpoints, bc he does not publish them on bb. I already signed up for another class with him this summer!
Very nice professor. Understanding and helpful.
Who would have thought that social psychology could be so well related to biology, especially evolution. Too bad they don't let you repeat a class you already passed with an A. I loved it.
Material is difficult but he gives you an example for EVERYTHING. Very realistic with student expectations so as long as you show up interested and aren't afraid to ask questions, it'll go a long way with him. DON'T HESITATE ON STARTING THE PAPER! Its very difficult to write but GREAT experience for psyc students!!!
Awesome professor! Definately recommend him. Study guides are on point. Very helpful guy that loves psychology.
Dr. Baker was great. Attendance is not taken, but going to class and taking notes is vital to doing well on tests. He gives comprehensive and thorough study guides and incorporates technology into the class with making social networking sites for our classes where he posts information. I am not a psych major, but his class made me wish I was!
Not a bad teacher. He only gives test for grades. He teaches all the material and goes by the book. Very easy to follow. Going to class is very helpful. If you aren't a good test taker that is the only source of your grade.
This class is not an easy class, but he is a wonderful teacher. He is helpful and thorough. Study guides are perfect. Attend class, ask questions and DO THE STUDY GUIDE.
GREAT PROFESSOR! I am currently in his Social Psychology course. Very interesting subject that may be applied to a multitude of areas. I actually enjoy coming to class! The tests require a little bit of studying but he provides the best study guides. I wish I could take this class again! Dr. Baker is the best!
Dr. Baker is a wonderful professor. So much to say about my time spent in his class. I'll be honest, I missed a lot more class than I should have because I had 8 am's every single day and after awhile it started to wear on me. But his class was great. He's so understanding and helpful. Definitely take him. He's clear and a very nice man.
Dr. Baker is a fantastic professor! If you participate in class and show an interest he will work with you on necessary absences that occur when quiz passwords are given out, etc. He is extremely helpful, his tests are fair, and if you show up to class you honestly don't have to crack a book to get a good grade (takes a little more studying)
Pros: knows his stuff very well; concise at presenting material; gives study guides that are very accurate to the exam; very helpful Cons: gives tests on mondays and fridays as well sometimes; final exam is at 8am; class requires adequate studying to get an A; must buy the book.
This professor is very friendly and easy going, you do not have to go to class he does not take attendance but he does give out quizzes that require a password to take it online so going to class helps your grade. His study guides are great and he will help you with any questions you may have. I would take him again.
Great professor. Easy going, material is interesting, gives great study guides. You don't have to attend class, but if you want an A it certainly helps.
Dr. Baker is the best psych teacher I've had. He is super organized and clear with all of his lectures and study guides. Take him!!
Go to class, take notes, do the study guides...get an A. Pretty Straight forward.
Great professor. Busy class. Attendance is not mandatory. However, If you want a good grade.... GO! Study guides for all exams! Final exam was extremely hard. Cumulative (50 fill in the blank/short answer, 50 multiple choice.) Offers great extra credit...DO THEM! It will help your grade a lot.
Nice guy. Very clear and straightforward.
An informative and enjoyable class. Dr. Baker was very passionate about the subject and he was extremely helpful. His lectures were not boring at all.
"Great professor. Busy class. Attendance is not mandatory. However, If you want a good grade.... GO! Study guides for all exams! Final exam was extremely hard. Cumulative (50 fill in the blank/short answer, 50 multiple choice.) Offers great extra credit...DO THEM! It will help your grade a lot." Agree with this 100%! Fun class and professor!
Really enthusiastic about the subject. Class was not mandatory, though he does not put notes on the internet, so you should go. Tests are pretty easy, straight from notes and tests.
Pretty straight forward class. Baker is really helpful both in and after class. Your final grade is all based from test, so just study for the tests and you should get an A. Also gives out extra credit. Great class and a great professor.
Love Prof Baker! He makes material easy to understand and really engages the class. Though you so have to go to class to get passwords to quizzes, it's definitely worth it to take the class!
Best psych teacher (social psych) I have had in America/Australia. He always replies to emails within an hour and welcomes questions. Only dislike about the class was the final exam 50 multiple choice and 50 fill in the answers, otherwise great class. Funny teacher, content not that hard and 4exams for the class. The book is also worth buying.
Getting the notes from class helps on the exams. Final exam scared me because half of it is fill in the blank/short answer but I did better than I thought I would and he gives really good study guides. Final grade was a B and I would recommend this class with this teacher.
Dr. Baker is a wonderful professor and I wish I could have him for more courses. Being a psychology major, I found Social Psych to be interesting anyway. It can be tricky at times, but if you go to class and take notes, you will be fine.
Highly recommend this class! Going to class and taking notes is highly recommended, but as long as you complete the study guide he gives before each exam, you will do fine! Tests are straight from study guide and online quizzes. Very interesting class and Dr. Baker is awesome!
This class is worth taking. Attendance is necessary because everything covered in lecture will be on the test. In addition, passwords for the online quizzes are given in class. Do not miss the online quizzes! They will make a difference in the end. Baker is very friendly and won't bore you.
Great teacher. You can tell he likes what he does. DO THE STUDY GUIDES!!! and you'll do great on the tests. Go to class because the lecture material is mainly what the tests are on. Write down his examples and you'll understand things better.
Dr. Baker is a great professor, and he's hilarious too. I'm giving him a pity pepper.
Dr. Baker is a great professor! It is obvious that he loves what he does, and it's funny how into his lectures he gets. Attendance isn't mandatory, but all the info you need for the tests are from his in-class slides along with passwords for weekly quizzes. Tests are hard, but as long as you do the study guide you should be fine.
I am OBSESSED with Dr. Baker. If I could take another class of his I would. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I never missed a class because I loved the topic. He gives really helpful study guides and if you just go to class and do the study guide there is no reason you shouldn't get an A.
Great Guy. Really knows what he is talking about and is very down to earth. I am actually taking him again in the summer for Psychology of Personality. All Quizzes and Study Guides are exactly what you need to study for the exams.
Awesome teacher, interesting class. Attedence is not required but he gives out the quiz passwords at the end of each chapter in class. Study guides have exactly what you need to know for tests and you can take quizzes twice. He gives great examples to help understand material and gives you many opportunities to do well in his class.
Baker genuinely cares about his students' progress, and I feel that he tries to get to know every student that he can. Very approachable and tests are relatively easy if you read the book or go to class.
Dr. Baker is an awesome professor! I've had him for quite a few classes already and all of them have been very interesting. Although attendance is not mandatory, I would still go because I enjoyed his class. If you need to or want to take a psychology course take him, you will not regret it!
I absolutely love his class! I have decided to add a Psych minor because of his class! He is so helpful and makes the class interesting! I always went to his class even though it wasn't mandatory!
Prof. Baker is an excellent teacher and made this class as interactive as possible even though it is a lecture class. His quizzes and study guides all cover info on the exams and if you scan the textbook and go to class, you will get an A!
Dr. Baker is an excellent professor. He tries to make the lectures as interesting and engaging as possible. I would recommend going to class so you can get the notes from the powerpoints and the quiz passwords. If you study the notes/quizzes and fill out the study guides then the tests are easy. I definitely recommend taking a class with him!
Dr.Baker is such a great professor, probably my favorite at ECU. The material isn't easy but it is very interesting which makes it enjoyable to learn. He has a very likable personality and a very playful sense of humor unlike most other professors. I recommend his classes and he gives study guides which is a plus!
REALLY nice guy. Great teacher. Highly recommend him. I hope I get to take more psych classes with him.
The notes taken in class are all you need in order to be successful in Dr. Baker's class. As long as you attend class and fill out the study guides and study them religiously you will do fantastic. He is funny and an awesome teacher.
Dr. Baker is hands down one of the best professors at ECU! He he very fun and really seems to enjoy the subject. His power points are very clear and helpful. Attendance is not mandatory, but at the end of every chapter you must go to class to receive a password for an online quiz. Pay attention and go to class and you will easily make an A!
Literally the best Psychology teacher! I had to grade replace psyc 1000 and took it with Dr. Baker. I'm so glad I took it, easy to understand, attendance is not mandatory but you should attend to get quiz passwords. Study guides are fairly easy and close to the actual test. Take him, you won't regret it! He's kinna funny too
Dr. Baker is fantastic! He's crystal clear in lectures and provides excellent examples to help you remember key topics. I would definitely recommend him.
Dr. Baker was a great teacher! He explained the material really well and made it relateable. He also gives lots of quizzes that are not difficult! He provides a great study guide for the exams, and even though you have to write 3 papers, they aren't difficult to write. I strongly recommend taking him for Psych 1000!
Dr. Baker is an awesome teacher! He basically gives you everything you need to be successful in his class! If you take notes and take the time to do your study guides then you will been fine! (:
Awesome, awesome teacher. Hands down the best since i've been at ECU. I wasnt interested in this class before i took it but he makes it fun. Just a genuinely nice guy. Go to review sessions and take good notes and you'll do well!
This was a pretty decent class. Baker is a nice guy and makes corny jokes to keep class interesting. Attendance not mandatory but it's really hard to keep up if you don't go. This is not an easy A class by far but it wasn't too bad and he is a good professor. Take him if you can.
A absolutely phenomenal professor! Cares very much for the subject he teaches and strives to make it easy to understand. The attendance is not required but its in the best interest to attend in order to not fall behind. One of my favorites out here at ECU, hands down. TAKE HIM.
Awesome awesome guy! He's so nice, and super helpful! His lectures are so easy to understand and he breaks everything down with really good examples. He uses videos to help you understand and to keep class fun. Probably the best professor I've had at ECU, TAKE HIS CLASS! If you go to class and do study guides, you'll be golden!
Dr.Baker is great! He really knows what he is talking about. Go to class, take your quizzes and do the study guides.I only used the book for the application papers and to clarify things I didn't understand..His review sessions help A LOT! Go to them! Dr.Baker definitely knows what he is doing!
Dr.Baker is an amazing teacher! I enjoyed his class very much. The material was interesting and it interested me enough to change my minor to psychology. He is very helpful and test come straight from study guides. If you have the chance take him!
Dr. Baker is hands down the BEST instructor I have ever had. He is passionate about what he does and is willing to do a lot to help you succeed in this course. Go to class, take the quizzes, do the study guides and you will get a high grade. His lectures are easy to follow and the exams are taken directly from the study guides. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Wonderful professor. Tests & quizzes were easy if you looked at the study guide and Dr. Baker is extremely helpful. I would definitely take another class with him in the future.
Easy course. Pointless application papers and really terrible TA's though. Baker is okay, but he tries too hard to be the cool professor. If all that sounds okay to you, by all means take this class.
Very nice guy and very helpful. I just wished that he could drop the lowest quiz grade because they are easy to forget
Very nice and funny. He tries to relate the material to situations that college kids will understand, attendance isn't mandatory but theres a few random attendance days and his study guides are very helpful. I really enjoyed him as a teacher and would definitely take him for psychology 1000.
He's a great professor, I really enjoyed the class & he is always enthusiastic about what he's teaching & always gives good examples to help you remember the material. If you need to take this class I would take him! You don't need to come to class for attendance but it makes it easier I you do and the quizzes are password protected
Super nice and really fun!
Great Professor! Loved the class and learned soooo much!
Baker is an amazing teacher, he is very enthusiastic on what he teaches and his notes a very clear. He gives out study guides that help you so much on the test!
Professor Baker is so nice! Attendance wasn't mandatory but I found myself wanting to come to class. His class was never boring. He also provides study guides for the tests and they are super helpful. I would definitely take another one of his classes.
He is a really great professor and it is almost impossible to make a bad grade in his class. he makes the lesson very interesting, especially when it comes to the sex topics. He also gives a ton of opportunities to get extra credit and other assignments to raise your grade. I highly reccommend this professor.
Dr. Baker's class was interesting, fun, and one of the only classes I actually looked forward to. Go to class so you can get the quiz passwords because your grade can drop significantly if you don't. Take notes and do the study guide... you're sure to get an easy A! Loved the class.
I loved Dr. Baker, he made the lectures so very interesting. If you do the study guides and study those for the test, you are sure to get and A on every test. He gives extra credit. Easy A!!! you have quizzes at the end of every chapter, but they are easy. I definitely recommend him !!!
I think Dr. Baker is a great teacher. His powerpoints are clear and easy to understand. Make sure to write down all examples he provides as well as information on all of the experiments talked about in class. Study guides come directly from exams. Go to class and study before exams and you'll be fine. Dr. Baker is just awkward enough to be funny.
I liked this class. I would definitely say go to class. It is beneficial eventhough attendence is not mandatory.Powerpoints are very helpful and clear, precise, and to the point. He has a good attitude and seems to like what he does. I definitely encourage others to take this class. If you work hard and come to class, you should be able to do well
Dr. Baker is very articulate and clear, and he makes it blatantly obvious what is going to be on the tests. Just go to class and print off the study guides ahead of time, and an A will come fairly easily in his class, especially with quizzes and papers to boost up your grade.
Such a sweet and kind man who is truly passionate about his field. His class is interesting, and you will learn a lot. Psych classes in college can be hard but his clear teaching style and easy powerpoints make it a lot easier to learn and do well. He is funny and compassionate and an amazing professor! Take his class if you're required to do psych
Dr. Baker is FABULOUS!!! Especially for students interested in psych.. take his class, you will love it!
I really enjoyed Dr. Baker's class. He is really easy going and likable. His powerpoint presentations are not incredibly boring and are moderately entertaining. You can tell he loves his field of study. I would definitely recommend the book because you need them for the online quizzes he gives (pretty easy). Take his class!
Dr. Baker is one of the better professors that I have taken at ECU, which is saying a lot, considering I am a senior. Not only does he know his stuff, but he makes it easy for you to understand. I only wish I had taken him earlier in my undergrad, it would have been great to see what he does with a full- semester-style class.
Dr. Baker kept things interesting. He was pretty chill and down to earth. I don't think I was ever bored while in his class.
He was an awesome professor, awkward and charming at the same time. He explained things really well, and his assignments(quizzes) were simple. Exams are pulled exactly from study guides that are easy to fill out. I would take him again in a heartbeat. I made a 98 in the class.
BEST TEACHER EVER. he does read off the slides but i liked that. everything was clear and easy to understand. i passed the class just by using notes in class even though he asks you to read. he does such a good job teaching you dont have to except it makes the online quizes a bit easier. best teacher made the class great, take!
Really great professor. He's clear and very helpful. Take him.
Dr. Baker is very helpful when you need his assistance. He's really nice and understanding. Great professor.
Dr. Baker is funny and really enjoys what he's teaching. Make sure you go to class because it's all lectures and notes. Tests, quizzes, and exams, are all based off the notes he gives. Very straightforward. He is hilarious and uses real-life examples in his lectures. I definitely recommend him for PSYC2777!
Great professor. He cares about what he's teaching. He's very understanding. The material can seem like its just common sense, but go to class and pay attention because his weekly quizzes and the tests can be tricky.
Well informed, very responsive to class participation. If you take notes and read the text book you'll do fine in this class. Test Review Sheet given before exams! With effort you can make an A! No stress.
Enjoyed Dr. Baker, he was very nice and really enjoyed teaching. He was willing to help if you needed extra help. His quizzes very easy, except some of the wording make sure you re-read to not get mixed up with "tricky" wording. Tests were on what he covered in class.
My favorite teacher I have had so far at ECU!
Awesome teacher! Really really nice! I made a c because i forgot to do some of the quizes online :( i would highly recomend this class and teacher
Super easy class! Dr. Baker puts almost everything you need to know on the slides and you only have to use the book to pass the online quizzes. He doesn't put his slides online, but they're pretty much straight out of the book so class isn't mandatory. Do the quizzes and the study guides he provides and you'll make an easy A. Highly recommended!
He was seriously one of the most insightful and intelligent professors I've ever had. Didn't just teach, but kept you engaged in the lecture and spoke accurately with much clarity. There was a manageable amount of studying/quizzes. Nothing too strenuous. I wish I had him for all of my other Psych courses. TAKE HIM!!
So easy! I went to class 4 times and ended up with a b- but I also like teaching myself stuff.. The content was pretty easy as long as you understand the cultures of the US and other countries!! Take the online quizzes and you'll be Gucci !!!
This class was extremely easy. He tries to make the class interesting and his lectures are easy to follow. All the exams are based off the notes given in class and the studyguides. You need the book for the online quizzes to answer some questions and he also drops the lowest quiz grade. Overall I would recommend him to any student.
Very easy class, teacher is kind and easy to talk to, very interesting class, teacher gets you involved with the course material. Light work load:three tests, a final, and one short quiz after each chapter.
One of my favorite classes this semester! He is a very engaging and I loved coming to class. He gives study guides for each exam and final; if it is not on the study guide, it usually isn't on the exam. Quizzes after each chapter, which you need the book for. I highly recommend taking this course.
Dr.Baker is by far one of my favorite professors here on this campus. This is my second time having him and I hope it's not my last! He is down to earth, funny, nice, and smart. I would highly recommend this class and any of his others! He is a great professor and ECU is lucky to have him.
Dr. Baker is so nice! Definitely one of the most intelligent professors I've had at ECU. Quizzes after each chapter, 3 test and a final. He gives you everything you need, having the book is helpful though. If you don't attend class, you won't have the notes.
I loved this class and Dr. Baker. The class was pretty easy if you went to class and followed along in your textbook(yes you will use it). Grade is based on test and quizzes all multiple choice. Dr. Baker was very helpful and he did his best to make the class interesting. I would definitely take more of his classes no questions asked!
I loved Dr. Baker! This class is an easy A as long as you go to class and read the textbook. Grade is based on test and quizzes all multiple choice. Dr. Baker is supper helpful and tried his best to make the class as interesting as possible. He makes some lame jokes but they're funny in their own way and add to his charm. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Dr. Baker is a good professor. His class isn't too hard but all grades are based on tests and quizzes. I would recommend buying the book because it will be useful to you on quizzes. He clarifies any questions you may have even if the question was just asked. He is a cool professor and wouldn't mind taking any of his classes. Take this class!!!!!!!!
Great professor and great class! Totally recommend it. I went to every class and still only made a B+ in the class. It is a great class but challenging.
Research Methods can seem very daunting before taking it, but honestly Dr. Baker makes it incredibly easy and interesting. If you do the study guide and understand everything in it you will almost certainly get an A on the exams. He gives you opportunities to do parts of the proposal during the semester and gives great feedback on it. Awesome guy.
He was an excellent teacher very helpful and easy-going. He was always able to help me when I had questions and if I had another teacher I'm sure I would have failed the course. I liked that he was calm yet firm in his tone so he wasn't intimidating or making you feel stupid when you had a questions.
Great teacher!!! Material is a little boring!! Attendance is not mandatory but the only way you find out about quizzes is on line and he doesn't post notes online so you are better off just going to class. He uses the random days he takes attendance as extra credit. Test are really easy if you go to class and takes notes. He is also really helpful.
Dr. Baker is the best Psychology professor I have ever had. Research Methods is not an easy class by any means, but with his assistance and hard work, it is very possible to get an A. He gives excellent feedback on the research proposal and all of the exams as well. It would be difficult to beat him as a professor in this class.
Baker is honestly the best professor I have ever had. He really cares about this stuff and puts so much time into making his lectures interesting! His power points are amazing and he shows videos and things that make the info crystal clear. I don't even think I used the book because his study guides and notes were that good!
Attendance is not mandatory but notes are not posted online. There are quizzes for each chapter which are hard and some come from the textbook. The tests are easier than the quizzes. Boring class but he tries to make it interesting. No homework and gives a study guide for each exam. Little to no extra credit.
Dr. Baker is an excellent professor who gives prompt feedback, excellent study guides, and makes the lectures interesting. While the course material is dry, Dr. Baker makes it fun, and he has a great sense of humor. If you ever need anything, he will help you out anyway that he can. I highly recommend taking him for any course that you can!
Dr. Baker is a great professor who lectures are actually fairly interesting and entertaining! He's a pretty lively person in the classroom and won't keep you bored the entire. The material of the class is very intriguing and can rack your brain at times. Just remember to TAKE YOUR ONLINE QUIZZES. Overall, awesome professor!
Dr. Baker is hands down one of my favorite professors. I had to take this class as a requirement to my major and he made the class really enjoyable. Attendance is not mandatory, but he doesn't post notes on blackboard. You have a quiz for each chapter on blackboard but they're easy if you go to class and take notes.
I would say he is one of the best professors in the psychology department!I learned a lot in his class! Attendance is not mandatory but the notes are not online. I would plan to buy the textbook if you are going to miss any days. He makes the boring material as interesting as possible and is always happy to answer questions and help students.
He is an awesome professor! He always try to make every chapter interesting. He does lecture, but he's not boring. Make sure you have the book for the quizzes. The tests are fairly easy. He gives a study guide and it covers everything on the test. Overall, this a was a great class!
He was an AWESOME teacher. I him for class twice and loved it. The class is hard and the material is difficult to understand but if you go to class and get the notes and make sure you definitely DO THE STUDY GUIDE, you will be fine. Make sure you follow directions for the proposal too.
Not a "free A" easy class, you have to come to class and study! You do have to try. He lectures, but isn't boring at all. Awesome professor and very helpful. I promise you will laugh almost every class. TAKE HIM!!!
Dr, baker is a FANTASTIC educator. He's fair, non-biased, and his quizzes and exams are a TRUE reflection of class lecture and text material. He doesn't blindside his students with material taken from course material from OTHER psych classes from OTHER universities, where the course content may be similar, but the focus is different.
Dr. Baker is very enthusiastic about his class and keeps it interesting. The test are just like the study guides. It's beneficial to go to class for the notes. I would love to take a class with him again.
Dr. Baker is an AWESOME professor! I wish I had more psych courses I needed to take so I could take it with him. He keeps the class interesting and makes the material easy to understand. He's very helpful & quick to answer emails. All of his tests have study guides AND all the material on the study guide show up on the test, no surprises. :)
Dr. Baker is by far one of the best professors at ECU! He makes the material as interesting as he can and always has great examples. The exams aren't too difficult as long as you attend class and actually UNDERSTAND the material. Don't let the proposal intimidate you and do not procrastinate! You should take him, He's a great professor!
Mr. Baker is my by far one of the best professor at East Carolina University. His classes are easy as long as you come to class and take notes. Whether you want your grade to be an A is up to you!
Dr. Baker was really fair and nice. He was willing to work around an illness I had so that I could get classwork made up. I didn't feel threatened to change my views in his class or attacked for how I believed. I'd take another of his classes for sure.
This class was a great class to take face-to-face. He works with you if you need it, gives you questions for test in study guide form so as long as you know it you will pass. He is very helpful and if it wasn't for this class my GPA would suffer. He is very consistent you know what to expect. Loved it
Very clear about expectations for the course. Attendance is optional but he does not post lectures online so going to class is needed to pass the tests. Funny guy and explains material well. Would recommend him to anyone willing to attend class and pay attention.
Great class to take. He is a great professor and clearly loves his job. His test are hard if you do not study, but he provides study guides so you know what to expect. He is very helpful if you go to him with problems and will work with you. Definitely recommend taking his class. Grades consist of test and some extra credit so make sure to study.
Dr. Baker is seriously amazing! His lectures are spot on what his tests will cover. I'm not a psychology major but would consider it if he could teach all of my classes. I will for sure be taking as many classes with him as I can. He has a funny personality and makes class lectures interesting.
Dr. Baker is easy going. Here are few tips to make an A: 1. Go to class - It's a lot easier to take notes rather than having to read the book. 2. Go to lab - almost all of them are literally less than 30 minutes. 3. Use the study guides. They are extremely helpful for what is going to be on the test. 4. Participate - it makes class enjoyable.
Psyc 2777 has a lot of broad topics but Dr. Baker makes it fun and easy to learn. Would definitely take him again for any class.
Attending class is important for the quizzes AND test. The study guides will save you in this class, do them and you should be fine. One of my favorite professors
I had a great time in the class and learned a lot of information that is useful for living in the real world. Dr. Baker is also extremely kind and interesting, I would take a class taught by him again for sure
Baker is probably the best psych professor here at ECU. ATTENDANCE IS NOT REQUIRED. However, tests and quizzes are easier when u attend class. Drops lowest quiz grade. do the study guide & you'll Ace every test!
Dr. Baker is an excellent professor. The subject matter wasn't always fascinating but he always threw in a few jokes and asked for input from the class to break up the monotony. Gives great study guides that make the exams easier. Study and go to class and you'll likely get an A. If I could, I would definitely take Dr. Baker again.
If you miss class for an unexcused reason you will miss all the lecture notes and he will not send them to you. These notes are very important for tests. He reads off of the powerpoints, can go off on tangents about personal stories, if you don't attend class it's challenging to pass the tests. Final exam is fill in the blanks, so STUDY.
Very knowledgeable professor. He offers a lot of help if you need it. Don't skip because he does not post his notes.
Overall great teacher. All lectures are made interesting and easy to understand. Attendance isn't mandatory, but notes are not posted online. As long as you take the notes and do the study guides, there's no reason you shouldn't pass
Good professor, super tough. He loves his job, and he will go over tests with you during office hours, but if you don't read or fill out the study guides, good luck, buddy because you wont do well.
I took Social Psyc with Dr. Baker over the summer and he made it so easy to understand and manage the fast pace. He has such an awesome personalty and truly wants his students to do well. Keeps material interesting, and organized. Highly recommend for any class.
One of the best people I've met since coming to ECU. He was very understanding as long as you communicated with him about making up tests due to conflicts with school and always was more than ready to help in office hours. The power points are essential to passing the class, and he finds a way to make the class really exciting and interesting.
I had him for ethnocultural psych which was a lecture class, but he makes them interesting. Unfortunately he doesnt post his PowerPoint online (unless you email him with a good excuse for not coming) but he doesnt take attendance. Says textbook is required but I made an A and never used it, just used my notes. Tests are easy if you study/use SG
I had him for Ethnocultural psych, it's a lecture class but he makes it fun. I never once used my book so don't even bother buying it. All the quizzes are on quizlet, he doesn't post his slides online & doesn't take attendance but he does post a study guide online before each test which is extremely helpful. Just do the study guides and you'll pass
Great, solid choice. Great class. Always helps his students out where there's room.
Great professor! The notes are not posted on Blackboard, so attending class is a must. Dr Baker makes his classes fun and interesting. He also makes learning fun! He posts study guides and they are a big help for exams as long as you do them and study.
I loved his online class this summer. I definitely learned a lot. I would definitely recommend pairing the TB with the course with how he refers to it and how it's paired. He did provide study guides which were super useful and I would DEFINITELY recommend. Also he responds to emails very quickly and sent lots of emails to keep us updated.
If you have the chance to take him, Do it! Baker is such an incredible professor, he gives study guides for every exam, quizzes are online, and there are extra credit opportunities. He is very understanding.
Dr. Baker is a true gem of this university. He does not require attendance at his lectures however the notes are not posted online. I recommend going to class anyways because Dr. Baker is very kind and makes the material easy to understand. Class has 20 quizzes and DB's on Packback but they are easy A+'s in the grade book.
Dr. Baker's class was great! He cares about his students and wants you to do well. There are several extra credit opportunities. I am considering taking social psychology simply because I want to be in his class again.
Mr. Baker is by far the best professor I have had at ECU so far. He is very interested in teaching his students and always tries to make the class laugh at least once a lecture. It is an easy class to get an A if you study and actually attend class.
Dr. Baker CARES. He is so amazing, and actually teaches the material (so you don't have to teach yourself). This isn't an easy A class, you do have to work for it, but the information is so interesting it's worth it! This is my second time taking this class, so definitely pay attention and actually study.
Baker is a funny guy and he's really nice. He does do only lectures but if you go to some and study before an exam, you'll do amazing on them.
Dr. Baker is one of my favorite professors. His lectures are interesting and he will give stories on each topic you cover (which helps me memorize the material). He does grade attendance and participation through TopHat, so try to make it to each class.
Dr. Baker is awesome! He is funny and is a great lecturer! He really knows how to keep the class involved and how to keep their attention. Make sure to study for his test. Make sure you take note when he says important things to know for the test!
Dr. Baker makes the class as easy as possible. You can complete all the study guides with either the textbook or video lectures they both have the same info, but mind you he offers EC within the video lectures. Test questions come straight from the study guides. Packback is your participation and can count as extra credit if you do well on them.
Dr. Baker is one of my favorite Psych professors - I've taken 2 of his courses and would take more! He gives awesome lectures that keep you interested and teach the material. He usually makes super comprehensive study guides, and if you fill them out you'll pass. I don't usually end up using the text but sometimes he references it in class
Dr. Baker was a good professor. He tries to make his lectures interesting, and at times it worked. There is a quiz for each chapter, 3 exams (3 chapters per exam) with one cumulative final exam. He does not post the PowerPoint's online, so if you don't come to class, I'd read the textbook to get caught up on what you missed.
He is a really funny teacher. Also, he doesn't take attendance. He doesn't post the notes though so if you don't have someone sending them, I recommend going. He does online quizzes for each chapter that are easy with the textbook, I didn't use the textbook and still did well though. He gives study guides that match up very well to the test.
Fairly easy class. Attendence not mandatory but GO! He mentions a few things that may not be on the studyguides for the exams. But other than that the studyguides are helpful. I never really studied, maybe the morning of an exam and still passed with a B, sure I would have done much better if I would have taken time to study.
Dr. Baker is an amazing professor! Everything is straight from the powerpoint. My class had a huge GroupMe where we worked together which made things a lot easier. He uses "Pack Back"- you post 1 question and respond to 2 every week. There is a quiz for each chapter (they're not timed and posts them for a long time). He also gives extra credit.
Dr. Baker is one of the best teachers that I've ever had. Dr. Baker is very passionate about teaching his students. he responds quickly to emails. he provides study guides and gives extra credits. I took him for his ethnopsychology class and now personality. his lecture is very clear and straight forward and easy to understand
Great prof, def recommend! He's really nice and responds to emails promptly. Gives study guide for all tests. Tests are reflective of study guides and tests were sometimes curved. Don't buy the book, everything you need to know is in lecture slides or study guide. He used top hat for participation points and to take attendance (extra credit).
Dr. Baker is a great professor, especially during online classes. He truly cares for his students' mental health and made note of that in his announcements. He is accommodating to your situation and replies to emails quickly. The lectures are about 1 hour long each, but they aren't boring. You are graded on tests and weekly posts. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Dr. Baker is a great guy and a great professor. It wasn't easy trying to learn 4 months of social psychology in 8 weeks but Dr. Baker made it worthwhile. While he is very understanding and will offer stuff like time extensions on tests, he will not tolerate people abusing that (ex. cheating). I would definitely take another psych course with him.
took during 8wk block. Baker makes it known that he is very caring and accommodating given the situation. Grades rely on packback discussions/responses and four tests, so make sure you adequately prepare for the tests! His lectures are long but they aren't boring and make the material fun to learn.
lectures are heavy, record his lectures and rewrite notes. the patient profile (binder full of labs) is time consuming, a lot of work, study a lot with the areas you guys spend most time talking about because his tests are all about writing short answers on topics, he only likes the very specific answers he gives. he comes off rude/ condensing.
Four major tests all directly from lectures or the book, usually a weekly PackBack assignment (1 question, 2 response), no group projects or surprise assignments. Total gem of a professor overall; he's super nice and easy to reach, clear expectations upfront, very passionate about his classes but not pretentious. Totally take him!
Overall great class, but you have to make sure that you study with exams because its nothing you can find online as its on his study guides that he gives out which I love.
I have taken professor Baker's classes a few times in the past and he's great. Watch the lectures, post weekly on PackBack, and take the quizzes/tests. He gives study guides and cares for his students. I am almost finished with my psych minor and will not be able to take his classes anymore but if you get a chance, take his courses!
Overall this class was good. Professor Baker is super nice and easy to reach. The tests are a little difficult and weekly discussion boards can be time consuming, but I would recommend his class if you have to take a psych course.
Professor Baker is one of my favorite Psych professors. He provided everything you needed to pass. While there are various "Exams", they are just like quizzes, to sum up the past 3 chapters, and they're pretty easy. Professor Baker provides a very accurate study guide before every exam so it' easy to pass. Lectures are very easy to stay focused
Dr. Baker wants his students to succeed. The class is very straight forward. He is great with working with students if you have extenuating circumstances during the semester. Take his classes!
My favorite psychology professor for sure! He really cares about his students and is always willing to help.
I loved this professor, he truly wants you to learn, loves to answer questions, truly enjoys what he does. Attendance is not mandatory I think its important you attend, his letters are enjoyable. He makes this class interesting. His grading is super quick & easy to follow. You can past this class if you go to class & try to learn!
Dr. Baker is an amazing professor! Really nice guy and cares about what he is teaching. This class was lecture based and had a weekly packback and quizzes and exam every couple of weeks. He posts his lectures and study guides for each exam. Attendance isn't mandatory but he's good at what he does, so it's worth coming to class.
Dr. Baker is a good professor and work is easy. The only con about him is his response to emails, he doesn't really respond in a good time frame. Other than that just turn in the assignments and quizzes and the course is a breeze.
I really enjoyed his lectures as long as you attend lectures and take notes in order to gain full knowledge and understanding you should do well!
Great lectures. 5 exams with quizzes due on exam day. Weekly discussion board. Cool guy! Easy class if you study and pay attention to lectures.
Four tests with material mostly from his PowerPoints, which are posted on Canvas. Use the study guides to study, and you should do fine. Textbook is not required, though it does increase understanding of the material. He is really knowledgeable/passionate about psychology and encourages questions about the material. He is nice and down-to-earth.
You can tell how passionate he is about psychology and his lectures are easy to follow. There is an easy way to get a good grade as long as you do the packsack every week and do the quizzes. You can pass the class without the textbook, but to get a better grade you should get it. His exams aren't hard and he makes himself available to help you.
I like taking Dr. Baker for this course, his study guides really helped you prepared for the test. Definitely use and fill out the study guides, create a group chat and you can find the quilt's online.
Michael Baker genuinely cares about his job and the students in his class, he recognizes that we are all human and things happen that cause us to miss exams, etc. He is very lenient. His tests can be a little difficult but he will go over then with you during office hours. He prides himself on his rating from this website from day 1 Great professor
Just goes through lecture slides, nothing special. Packback is due every week and the rest is exams. 3 exams plus a final and that is what will be a majority of your grade. No other work besides that which I found annoying because it all really depended on how you do on the exams.
He is very passionate and knowledgeable about the material. Mostly lectures from the PowerPoints that are available on Canvas, but it can be helpful to hear his examples to connect the concepts. Five exams make the bulk of the grade, but if you use the study guides/key points that he provides, you should do fine. Willing to answer questions.
Mr. Baker is one of the best professors at ECU. His lectures are super engaging and he prepares you well for the exams. He's also a super funny and nice guy so I would definitely taking his class.
Good professor. Will say tests were the only thing I found difficult. Going to lectures definitely helps and using the study guide. Quizzes on each chapter, but are super easy. Uses Packback and has a discussion board each week, but also simple, you just make up a question from the chapter you are going over in class. Very nice and would recommend.
Very good professor, super nice and gives great lectures. Study the notes and you will do well on the tests.
I loved Dr Baker and his class so much. He gives a wonderful study guide for almost every exam. Most students in my class were able to prepare for his exams in only a couple days. He is very kind and understanding. Attendance is not mandatory but it does help a lot.
One of the best attitudes of a professor I have ever seen. Very caring guy who motivates his students.
Fun lectures, talks the whole time and class goes by like a breeze if you are paying good attention and taking notes. Seems like a very good and nice guy and has a weekly assignment and four exams including the final. Exams were somewhat difficult just based on how much material there is in the class but nevertheless is a fun class to take.
One of the nicest and most caring teachers I have ever had. He loves the subject he teaches and gets the class engaged. 10/10 recommended
Dr. Baker a very nice man. He genuinely cares about the well being of his students and is passionate about what he teaches. The only thing I didn't like were the break outs every Friday but that was because my assigned TA was extremely rude and arrogant (which is not on him). If you plan to take PSYC 1000 I highly suggest taking it with Dr. Baker.
Professor Baker's lectures are engaging and he genuinely cares about student success. Though the exams can be challenging, using study tools like unstuckstudy ai helps prep well. As long as you stay on top of the work, it's a manageable class.
His lecture slides are very informational, and he is kind and caring. He tries his best to engage the class. He has open note tests (3+final) and reflective chapter assignments but does not grade hard and gives great feedback in case you misunderstand a topic.
Professor Baker is the best professor I've had at this school... He is one of the most respected professors at the university. I presented him with an issue, and he came to the rescue and offered graceful extensions. He is entertaining and genuinely cares about the successes of his students. His exams are breezy tooo if you know the material!! ^_^
prof baker was awesome! there were 4 tests including the final, and one homework assignment every week. as long as you pay attention to lectures/take notes, the tests are super easy.
I took psych of personality as an elective and LOVED his class. If you use his study guides before the exams, you'll get an A. They're very clear on what you need to know. Homework assignments are also all fairly easy and open note. 10/10 professor and class, highly recommend taking. Attendance also not mandatory.
