this teacher is hellaaa cool... i would tell everyone to take him if they have a psychology class... he really makes a person understand the course... :)
Mr.Baker is really good at teaching... One of the best psychology teachers i would say!!!
I would definitely recommend taking his course. He makes learning psychology fun and enjoyable. If you don't understand a certain topic that was covered, he will ensure that before you leave his class you have a complete understanding.
he's very helpful, nice, and fair.
This teacher is anal retentive, unorganized so full of himself. He does not abide by the syllabus. He is all over the place in regards to his teaching style.
he is very helpful and usually really clear with his lectures. But his tests are short answer and he never does anything multiple choice so it makes this a bit too complicated for a psychology 101 class.
Kind of easy
Just the way a good teacger supposed to be:naturally energetic, charismatic,hard enough, and with the proper knowledge.I was thinking this class as a boring one, but he made me want to come to class:)Take him everybody, it's worth it!
HE was a nice teacher at first but when i got to know he more he still seemed nice, but he started to hate me and on one of my quizes that he lost he gave me a lower grade than what i got on the quiz originally.I do not recommened for anyone to take him.Not very nice. He makes one feel unconfident of self and also makes stupid.At times.DONT TAKE HI
If you want to learn something in psychology take him. He's very nice and had A LOT of knowledge and he knows what he is talking about.strongly recommend him
he is very knowledgeable in what he is talking about. he gives alot of examples. he tells u exactly whats going to be on the quiz. and he stays after class if u have questions. hes not bad to look at either. take him!
Great prof. I loved the comment from an earlier post about "he makes me feel unconfident". His job is not to boost your self-esteem. Your job is to learn and crack the books. This course was easy, because: 1. He reviews for the quizzes, 2. He gives extra help to students who need it, 3.His tests are straightforward, just as long as you study!
Mr. Baker is such an awesome guy!His class is very easy and he is by far a fair teacher. His quizzes are simple and easy he tells you the questions that are going to be on the quiz.His lectures are in the form of powerpoint notes too!I highly recomend him!
very helpful
I recieved a B in his class after having an A all semester. Tells you what to study for your quizes, homework is a one to two page paper. Teaches almost directly from the book, very anal about you giving the answer he wants. Will take a quarter of a point off if you deserve it. Take him only if you want a very boring, predictable class.
This proffessor is very good at teaching. He explained things troughly. His tests are somewhat easy If you study. He is very understanding and listens to his students.
BORING TEACHER, ALL HE DOES IS LECTURE ALL PERIOD. HE TEACHES STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK AND YOU NEVER GET OUT OF CLASS EARLY, IF YOU DO, IT WILL BE LIKE 2 MINUTES EARLY, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE ANOTHER TEACHER.
Good teacher, requires clarity in understanding.
He's nice teacher, but his lectures are boring. He never lets you out early, and he adds things on to the quizzes that he didn't tell you to study in the first place. The article reviews are a waste of time, but they're easy points if you follow the guidelines.
Baker has got to be one of the toughest teachers I have had here @mvcc. He does the majority of his teachings of the wall where as you spend a great amount of your class taking notes,(I have nothing against notes but come on) no hand-out ever, 5 to 7 chapters. per test!!! Come on, an exam a 7 chapters exam a WEEK before the FINAL. Dont take him!
He is a great teacher. He fully prepares you for your quizzes and tests, everything comes right out of the notes so attendance is helpful. He uses great examples and is easy to relate to. I would recommend anyone to take him as a teacher, he was one of the best teachers I've had at Moraine.
Easy class. About 6 quizzes all semester. Then the final exam. About 4 homework assignments as well. A good class to take if your busy.
Very easy but very,very very boring. Regarding his personality, I found him to be rather pompous.
No Comments
Great instructor! He knows his stuff! I definitely learned from his class. Listen and take notes and you'll do great in his quizzes and exams. He also gives good review! The book was kinda boring for me so I didn't read as much as I should've. Try to do your paper early and have someone knowledgeable to proof read it for you.
Baker is a decent teacher. I did well in his class. Study for the tests, and maybe do some vocab memorizing for the quizzes. Really, the only thing I couldn't stand was his akwardness. I think he has this air to him that he is really awesome, but it just makes him appear really akward. Haha.
Easy class. He makes it clear what you need to know.
Taking this class online right now. The class is not difficult, but there is way too many papers, posting and discussions due for a general education class. Professor Baker seems ok, but can be a tough grader. I have a 4.0 average at Moraine, but will probably end up with a B in his class after completing everything on time. WOW!
very nice, easy to understand, thorough notes.
GREAT PROFESSOR
he is a great professor, he's funny and fair to all of his students...he is very happy and glad if someone asks him about the lesson and very willing to answer all of his student's question... aside from that he tells what are the things included in the tests.
I really enjoyed this class. Its everything you can expect from a psych class. You will have to put a lot of work in but its nothing too hard to understand, you just have to study. Plus I think the teacher is a cutie. =)
Took this class online. Baker is definitely a hard grader. He assigns a large work load and way too many essays and discussion board postings, some of which I really hated. Some questions on tests/quizes are tricky. However, he is pretty helpful if you need it. I guess I would recommend him but be prepared!
He was a good teacher. He told you what to study for tests. I barely used the test book. Took some notes in class but mostly just listened to him lecture using powerpoint. Never fails to answer a question. Very nice and helpful. good looking too.
Took Psych as telecourse. Easy to follow and explanations/examples were interesting. Enjoyable course.
Sure take it! The class was alright. Better teacher than other 2 teachers I've taken for psyc. He know his stuff. He gives good reviews for quizzes and exams. Take good notes. The book was a bit boring and it made me fall asleep every time I crack it open. There's a paper you need to do so don't procrastinate like I did.
I really don't like him at all. He's boring and his stories make me fall asleep everytime. He's too young to be teaching and I can't take him seriously.
i would definitely recommend taking mr. baker. Even though he lectured through power point,he helps you understand the concepts. He is always there for extra assistance when needed. His tests aren't all that hard unless you don't study.He is just very nice in general,& he is easy to get along with.Plus he isnt to shabby lookin either :)
Took the online course. Not a very easy class, but he was very helpful every time I e-mailed him - and very quick to respond. Tests are open book, but they are timed, so make sure to at least skim over the covered chapters. Also make sure to give yourself enough time to do the mandatory papers!!
Took online course with him. He made everything due on random days (@least 2-3 assignments a week) so it was never easy to keep track. He does not accept late homework, so don't even try. Not horrible, but not recommended.
I hated baker!!! horrible professor wost I've ever had!!!! i planned on going into psychology...well not anymore...Thanks baker!
OMG Baker is HOT!!! His class was super easy As long as u go to class and take notes you will do FINE! He basically tells u wat will be on the quiz so just study. His quizzes are only 13 Qs and he oesnt have any tests!!! GREAT TEACHER HIGHLY RECOMMENED =]
Overall, he's a nice guy willing to help you. However, he is all over the place when it comes to his teaching style. He skips all over in his power point and the book. Things that were on the quizzes were not covered and it is impossible to follow him in your text. His class was extremely boring.. Take him only if you have to!
He doesn't know how to teach! Not recommended. His class is boring and covers too much material at once. Because no1 did well on his quiz he yelled at us and asked why we weren't studying that it's so easy. Well maybe we did study and maybe it's not easy. Maybe it's YOU and NOT US! Don't waste your time.
This teacher just talks about his wife n kids, i mean come on i sent me entire semester learning what his families likes and dislikes are and that his wife is hot. WHO CARES!!!! iI took this class because ppl told me he was good, apparently these ppl just had the hots for him, because I really didn't think his teaching methods were all that. Sorr
Take his class!!!! 2 benefits of his class are 1. He is the HOTTEST teacher @ MVCC 2. Class is super easy, easy A!
Over all a pretty nice guy. He can be very condescending. He is def not as easy as people make him out to be. He can be kind of a jerk. But the good side i am really interested in what he teaches. Can be a bit boring at times but mostly pretty interesting.
LifeSpan Psy is a very interesting class. Mitch Baker is AMAZING! He just gives quizzes, no tests. I love him more than life. He explains EVERYTHING, and the class is never boring. take him and you won't be sorry. Not a hard class at all but a lot of material but he is excellent at explaining the chapters and hes gorgeous!
DONT TAKE HIM FOR PSY104 ONLINE! He is ridiculously difficult in grading papers *which are manyy* and his quizes are timed as well as the final exam online. If you go over the time given, he deducts points! I advise you not to take him unless you really have to. I hated this class from all my other classes.
Online class is worst I have ever taken. Asked him to post an example of what he wanted in a written assignment, and he finally said was unable to do so. He felt his posted requirements were adequate but I felt his grading was random and inconsistant. Grading was also slow.
I loved mitch. =] i took his 3week summer course and it was the easiest A i could ever get! there were three tests and only a 8point multiple choice final. EASY! and he tells you that you have to read every night but all you have to do is pick a topic and write a short explination about it. TAKE THIS CLASS!
He acts like he is IT ! He should have been an english teacher instead of a psy teacher. If you struggle at all with writing he will not be kind. GOOD LUCK !
He is such an awesome teacher. The class was super easy as long as you paid attention during class and studied what he tells you to study. He tells you exactly what is going to be on the test. He likes a lot of participation. He can be strict when he needs to be though. Overall, I think he is a great teacher. He makes it very interesting.
I think Mitch is a good teacher, the class did not seem hard to me, he gives all the notes to the quizes and assigns only one essay. Its also better not to skip class since there are class activities that you get points for.
Took online. Wasn't terribly difficult at all. Very slow at grading and not always consistent. Got a high B.
The class was just ok. The teacher is really slow at grading which is frustrating when taking a course online. There are a lot of assignments to do, but none are difficult. I agree with another post that his grading is inconsistent.
I loved his class, and if you had a hard time understanding the material in class he would break it down to you so you understood.
although he tried, his choice of text book was horrible. He tells you one thing and when he grades, its contradicting to what he says all the young girls love him
Terrible professor, not willing to help. Ruined my experience at Moraine Valley Community College. I would NOT recommend this professor for any reason.
Prof. Baker's classes are not blow offs, nor should they be. If you take notes, participate in class, read your book, study, and seek help when needed you will do just fine. By no means are his classes "easy", he challenges you a bit. Don't be intimidated, he's understanding unless you take advantage. I recommend him.
Awesome teacher!! I enjoyed going to class everyday. Never really a dull moment and he's full of stories
<3
He knows a lot about his field, but fails to teach it clear. Quizzes are confusing and this is not an easy A
Mitch (that's what he wants to be called) was awesome teacher. He made psychology fun and related everything to his kids and family which made it more interesting and understandable. I got an easy A just by coming to class and reading the textbook. Quizes were multiple choice and we were told pretty much what's going to be on the quizes. Take him!!
he really likes is a smart guy. i enjoyed the class. i recommend taking the 4 week summer class.
worst teacher by far! dont EVER take him online!!!!
Horrible teacher for online classes heard he was good in class! DONT EVER TAKE HIM ONLINE HIS QUIZES ARE CONFUSING AND HIS HOMEWORK AINT HE EASIEST
He is a very good psychology teacher! His class is not a blow off class! You need to come to class and pay attention! Take notes and study for his quizzes! The paper he makes you write is very easy! If you do your work and study for the quizzes then you will get an A!
He is a great teacher! I definitely reccomend his 4 week summer class. He is very helpful and wants to make sure you are understanding the material. Really glad I took his class!
Interesting lectures. He is easy to understand and you could tell he really knows his stuff. Pretty much show up to class and pay attention and you will do well.
I took the honors class with him and have really enjoyed it so far. Its a lot more hands on than bury your head in the book. You do need to read though with light studying.
Mr. Baker is incredibly passionate about what he teaches and it really shows. He is clear, helpful, and provides real life examples to apply to the material. I would take him for every single class if I could.
Passionate teacher. Knows his field very well. Nice guy to talk to, tells interesting stories. Not the easiest teacher, but as long as you are willing to work hard, you should be fine.
Be alert, his quizzes are often confusing, nothing to do with the subjects in the book.
I took the internet hybrid class, so most work was submitted online. He reserved class then for other things so as to not waste class time with repetition. He answered any questions promptly and thoroughly for the most part and really knows psych. He was a fun teacher especially if you have an interest in the subject.
Mr. Baker is extremely knowledgeable and willing to ensure his students understand the material. Reading and comprehending the text are essential, as well as paying attention during lectures, which are NEVER boring. He is very accommodating with answering any questions and providing his students with resources to be successful.
taking this class was a wake up call for me that all instructors don't have that online experience. This Instructor is so focused on plagarism that in my opinion he thinks that everyone in the class room is going to cheat. You cannot go back to the quizzies to see what you have missed and there is little time to take the quizz.
he seems very knowledgeable about the subject .you have the readskim all the chapters in the textbook to do the assignments and answer some test questions. very focused on plagiarism. take notes bc the powerpoints arent on blackboard. dont expect study guides. overall an ok proff
Yes, reading is essential and plagiarism is a big deal, but it's school, it should be expected. The man is brilliant, so show up, pay attention, do the work, and that's pretty much it. Online classes are self-explanatory, you have to be somewhat focused and lectures are great in the other classes.
Yes, reading is essential and plagiarism is a big deal, but it's school, it should be expected. The man is brilliant, so show up, pay attention, do the work, and that's pretty much it. Several teaching strategies are used so most people should do well. For online classes you have to be somewhat focused and lectures are great in the other classes.
great guy
Good guy and good class, as long as you put the effort in. You must read the chapters to pass!! He has a quiz after each chapter read, and doesn't go into depth with all the concepts, so you need to read to do well on the tests. Test preparation is all on you. Also, expect to do a few presentations.
You need the textbook! quizzes are easy, tells you exactly whats on tests
Not sure how his traditional classes are, taking one is on my list, but reading is essential in the other classes. Lectures go over students' questions and reinforce key points without redundancy. Will answer questions, even if you ask something ridiculous. Don't know much beyond that, but definitely one of my favorite people of all time :D
Online PSY104. Very straight forward. Read chapter, take a test. Several projects in between. PLEASE, read his grading criteria (very strict on deadlines, no excuses). Know how to cite resources to PERFECTION. One mistake will kill your semester; theat's his major focus on the extra projects. There are no second chances. Attention to his syllabus!!
Quizes and tests are impossible, tries to trick you, cumulative final. Looked up every answear in the book and somehow they are marked wrong. Very hard grader. Loves to watch students fail. Deducts points for questions .Overall horrible experience. Seems like he does not want to give anybody an A. HORRIBLE TEACHER!!!!!
Course schedule is easy to follow, and set up the first day of class. Be sure to read, complete the quizzes, and manage your time - there are due dates. Easy class if you do the work. Quickly responded to my emails.
This class sucked. I'm fine with all of the reading, that didn't bother me, it was him. When he lectured he spoke so fast you couldn't even understand what he said. He makes ppts but then doesn't even use them. The final was basically over everything you read but there is so much information you can't even study. Totally not recommend his class!
Took as hybrid. Not too much work, but you need to show up. Pretty interesting lectures.
Great class! I learned so much more than I expected. I'm in nursing, but found the class awesome. Go to class - discussions are reaaly cool with some group work and presentations.
PSY 104 is a very interesting class but you need to make sure you read the text in order to do well and in return, get the most out of the course. The tests and quizzes are challenging but not difficult if you do the reading and take notes. Overall, this is a great course taught by an extremely knowledgable professor.
Mr. Baker was a good teacher. He went over the topics that would be on every test before hand, and explained stuff very well. He will always answer your questions. Just skim over the bolded words in the book you'll be fine, and work on the my life project as long as you hit every topic you'll be good
Professor Baker is pretty knowledgeable, however he is not very clear on his lecture. He's a tough grader, and his final is a cumulative test. This would not be so challenging if he would give better notes, and slow down on his lectures so that students can have a better understanding
Class is pretty fun. We seem do a bit of in class writing but it's not hard. You kinda write about what we are learning. Tells pretty good stories. The girls in class think hes good looking but I don't.
He is a great professor and is willing to answer any questions. He is also very hot, maybe that's why I paid attention so much.
Class was so easy. All the quizzes are online with your book. In class we talk a bit, but that's really it.
Make sure you read the chapters. Great intellectual lectures. Gives straight to real life examples. Loves if you participate. I would take him for all psych classes to be honest.
Professor Baker is a really nice person as well as a good professor. He gives many examples during lecture. Please be sure to take notes especially of the examples he gives in class. Sometimes those same examples end up on the unit exams. He is easy to talk to. He doesn't give much extra credit though. But overall I would take this class again!
Awesome class! Great Guy!
Book required. Flies through powerpoints and doesn't really let you copy them down most of the time. Doesn't give out study guides for exams, but be sure to record him when he talks about them. Attendance is mandatory. Doesn't really remind you about assignments due until the day before. Exams were fairly easy as long as you read and take notes.
3 week class seemed to fly by. Class mixed between discussion and application. He's pretty knowledgable, and I think has high expectations for students. This may make him seem hard to some students, but I found it encouraging and respectful. Workload was very manageable. He's pretty helpful if you need it.
I took an online class with this professor, he has very poor communication skills, and don't get me wrong, I got a B. I guess it would be different in a classroom setting.
Just finished online final, and passed the class!!! I needed better time management. I agree he didn't send out a lot of communication, but he has constant reminders for everything that's due. I'm not sure what else I need him to say. He responded quickly to my emails when I had questions. Class was easy if you do the work and don't miss too much.
I had 2 classes with Professor Baker. Both were great! He told us to do something great and differentiate ourselves in class so he could write about it in recommendation letters for us. Thank you for your encouragement and awesome letter. On to Madison, Wisconsin!!!
I took his 3 week summer class and it was literally the best three weeks I've ever had in a classroom! Mitch made class so interesting and fun and it was impossible not to pay attention. Yes the work load was heavy, but thats typical for a three week class. just show up pay attention and do the work. Textbook is definitely needed or you wont pass!
I took Mr. Baker years ago, but decided to give him a good rating. Definitely an easy "A" as long as you pay attention in class and do the homework. I remember he would give pop quizzes randomly, not sure if he still does it. Just a heads up. Plus he's his looks will make you want to go class, good looking guy :)
He's a great guy! Knows his stuff! Taking the hybrid and all we really do is read and talk a bit in class with some fun activity. Saved me $ and used free online readings. class is cool, but some people in there are pretty lame. Taking his online this summer. Pretty easy A if you do most of the work.
Really smart and class can get pretty deep sometimes. I think his take on psychology is more of a life philosophy. I've sampled the cool aid, and I liked it. Would definitely take again. No textbook$$
This professor is the best, he is soo cool and he really makes you understand everything.
My class was hybrid. The work load was easy and we didn't need a text book. Hard grader. However, My biggest issue was for the midterm and final we were left alone to figure it out. No study guides so you didn't know what you were being tested on. If you fail the midterm or final you most likely will fail the class even if you did the work.
He was very good at explain the material. In class with no text book. All work done online and annotations were taught. I loved this class and would def take him again. Very homework heavy since those are the only grades entered other than midterm and final. Must understand material to pass exams.
I had his online class. Super duper easy class. All quizzes had unlimited attempts and were all on quizlet. Few writing assignments but did not take more than 30 min out of my time. I logged in once a week and hardly did anything. I recommend. Easy A.
Professor Baker was overall a very good teacher. He was there to help his students and to expand their knowledge. REALLY recommend. Very easygoing class and doing the notes really helps!
He's a great teacher, very smart about the subject. Willing to help students after class. If you do the work on time and participate in class can get an A. Wish he taught other subjects . Take him. No book !
AMAZING! Not only was he a knowledgeable and caring professor but the psychology club sponsor as well. Gave out a lot of online homework and half a week would have in-class assignments(so it's a good idea to show up), but I learned a lot about the how humans develop overtime. I definitely recommend Mitch. NO TEXTBOOK! :)
He is an awesome teacher. If you dont pay attention to his lectures you obviously wont understand. He is super funny and gives lots of examples and funny stories. If you are willing to pay attention you will pass with an EASY A
Great teacher who's very passionate about psych. No book but you have online homework every week and class work as well. His lectures are interesting because he gives great examples and funny stories and explains if you have any questions. The work wasn't hard.
His material is very straightforward and informative. Gives a lot of homework, but only because you get to use all your assignments and notes for the final exam and midterm. Explains things clearly and will help you out some more if you ask. The only way you can fail is if you never do your work, which is on you. Make sure youre on time. Good guy!
Super easy. Guarenteed A
class was really fun. A lot work, but mostly just reading. Exams are pretty easy if you take good notes. We spend time in class and in computer lab.
Hybrid class. This class does require a lot of note taking on your own but the textbook is provided online for free. Lots of extra credit opportunities if you just show up & do your work. If you can take the notes & do the easy online assignments its an easy class. No tests either, just a midterm & a final. Plus Mitch is a cool dude.
I took his 3 week course. There was reading and note-taking HW pretty much everyday (wasn't difficult just time consuming). He gives good responses to questions. He also gives stories and other examples to help understand the material. His quizzes and test were fair. He won't try to trick you on them. The final was also open-note.
I previously had Baker before (in class and hybrid) and he was a great professor then and now. No matter what, as long as you actually try in his class, he will do what he can to help you succeed. A lot of notes, but you benefit from them.
Took his hybrid class and almost regretted not taking his traditional class because his lectures were that good! As long as you keep up with all of his assignments you will pass with an A. Definitely one of my favorite teachers from Moraine!
Honestly the class wasnt as bad as i thought, i started off great and ended up doing fair in the class. Which is okay with me, it was an elective. Hes a good teacher, the citations is what made my grade lower. Follow correct grading criteria and do the work and youll pass, overall the class was a good class and he was a good teacher. I recommend
I had a real hard time adjusting to online from our campus class once campus shut down. He was awesome. Prof. Baker took the time to talk me off the ledge and keep on keeping on. Awesome man, and a lifesaver. Thank you for the individual concern. Take him, he's a gem of a human being.
While Professor Baker is totally adorable and a complete joy to listen to lecture, his grading is TOUGH. The material is interesting and totally worth delving deep into, but it is far from a blow off class. Only take him if you genuinely want to learn (which you should).
Just finished his 3 week class online. Layout was really simple to follow, not like my other online classes. very helpful for me given I was new to online last semester. It made class easy since I always knew when something was due and when and I could work ahead when I wasn't working. Hard to mess up and fail unless you just don't do any work.
A lot of the homework was only 5 points but the biggest grade was the final paper so you have to make sure you do that to the best of your ability. He isnt an understanding professor, he may seem nice but he truly doesnt care.
Class was online and pretty easy. Read the chapters and take a quiz. Has a discussion or essay to go with most stages, but not hard. Responded pretty quick to my emails the couple of times I needed help. Otherwise, laid out pretty clearly day one, so easy to stay on top of what's due. Heard he's awesome in class, but not an option.
Free textbook online which was nice you have to read it, but just 2 tests.
He's super cool. Took all 3 classes he teaches. Sucha smart guy. inspired me to stay in school and finish my accounting degree. in-class little better than online but knows his stuff. Not real hard work, but really wants you to think. Only take him if you want to be a better version of yourself. Moraine has easier teachers if u just want credit.
Professor Baker is a nice professor don't get me wrong, but he is just a very harsh grader. His class is all reading and just him lecturing the notes after we read it, but that's not a problem. His class is interactive because he's a cool teacher, but his grading is the only thing I hated because I am a critique of my grades.
Mr. Baker is one of the best teachers; highly recommend! His lectures are really entertaining, and he really knows how to engage an audience. He grades on take home quizzes and in class assignments mainly. You'll learn so much from him academically and about life in general. His life experience stories are the best! Super funny and smart guy.
As a professor he did an excellent job. The class focuses on the book and it will definitely be easy if you read along! He always has interesting class reviews of the chapters and will definitely help if you need it. Read and go to class and youll definitely pass
Baker is a nice guy and I enjoyed the class but found the content repetitive. The class is structured around the textbook and you will have to read almost 40 pages a week but there are no exams beside the final. If you are not heterosexual/ cis you might find the course outdated due to the book just not including that perspective too much.
Had optional zoom meeting first day to make sure we understood every aspect of class. Assignments due every Saturday and some Wednesdays. Simple and easy assignments and ready-made calendar of class assignment dates. Best class to take if you have other major classes to worry about. This class is so easy, I almost always forget I have it. TAKE HIM!
Class based on free textbook-no meetings! takes about an hour for weekly chapter assignment. Essay or discussion board every couple weeks-pretty easy, but have to cite book for full credit-kinda hard, but easy once you figure it out. He's pretty helpful and tells what you do wrong, hard not to get an A orB. Class layout easy to follow and organized
Hybrid class only meets once a week has a free textbook. Class is both lecture and activities that we read about. Discussion boards and a few assignments with a final exam. No other tests which I suck at tests so good for me. genuinely enjoy attending his class and is pretty helpful when needed. seems like he likes teaching and has good energy.
I liked going to class and he is a fair grader. Highly recommend him if you want to learn and get a good grade.
MAKE SURE YOU TAKE HIM ONLINE! This class was soooooo easy and he is the best teacher. Very easy and minimal homework. No tests or quizzes. Final exam was very very easy.
Great professor! Heavy grader on essays and proper citations. Highly interesting course and I definitely recommend.
took Professor Baker's 104 hybrid class. He is an okay professor. Gives good lectures but is a tough grader. If you get one little thing wrong, he won't turn a blind eye to it. I had to take this class for my major, and he seemed like the best option, so if you have to take this class, then take him.
Protect this man at all costs. His classes are wonderful and you can easily get an A+ if you know what you're doing and ask for help. He genuinely cares for his students, he wrote my UCAS letter of recommendation and helped get me into overseas schools. He is honestly just great all around.
He is literally so easy. He has 16 smartbooks in connect mcgraw hill which is 20 points for each of them. He goves out spme writing assignments. He gives extra credit. He gives 2 attempts on the final exam. PLEASE take him for an online class for your major! You won't regret.
TAKE HIM ONLINE! You won't regret! He gives extra credit, 16 chapters of connect mcgraw smartbooks each worth easy 20 points, some writing assignments, and a final in which he gives 2 attempts on! You can work ahead. He is perfect and I'm taking him for my major. If you do the work, you will definitely pass the class with an A.
Pretty easy class. Everything available for you to work ahead and the final is open book with two chances. Plenty of extra credit added at the end and a few writing asignemtn. If you do the work I can't see how you can't get an A or B
Made class interesting and he knows what he's talking about. Willing to help when you ask. Solid class overall
This professor is easy going. the assignments are straight forward and the book comes with the course. I would take him again
Book included and class is mastery based so you can keep doing the quizzes but he does have deadlines. Pretty easy going and tells interesting stories
took his class as a hyrbrid, he's pretty clear with his directions and what he wants. He's also very specific so make sure to go through every instructions. He can be stern too, felt like he had a upset dad tone in somedays he talked. He uses mcgraw hill for quarys that are due every sunday. One group project, 3- 4 essays.
Hybrid class mix of lecture and lab activities. We do ch. queries online takes about 45min. Big part of your grade, you can do it until you get perfect scores. A few essays but rubrics are super clear. So, just follow the directions you can easily get an A in the course. He definitely knows a lot about psych and pretty easy going and kinda funny.
Professor Baker is an excellent teacher who genuinely believes in his students potential. He consistently encourages us to strive for better, He regularly checks in to ensure we understand the material and welcomes questions. One challenge I had was that while he provides insight into test content, studying from the textbook alone can be difficult
Genuinely loved Mr.Baker. Normally, a lot of 5 star reviews & nothing but positive comments on RMF are fake, but I seriously recommend him as a professor. There were a little over 20 extra credit opportunities during my course. There were only 2-3 tests and probably 5-7 assignments. He's also a pretty funny guy and passionate about what he teaches.
Professor Baker is knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. The class is a good mix of lecture and activities. Unstuck study is a helpful tool for preparing for tests alongside the textbook. Overall, a solid psychology course.
He's a very chill professor. took his online class, and it was very straightforward. quiz per chapter that can be a little hefty, but gives you plenty of time to complete them. also offers extra credit as long as all homework is turned in on time. Overall, super easy class to take. finished more than half the hw in the first two weeks of class.
Mr.Baker is my favorite professor I've had yet at Moraine. He's evidently passionate and so knowledgeable about psychology. Definitely take his class if u get the chance to!
Professor Baker is a very helpful person. I am glad that I had him for PSY 104 online.
One of the best professors, gives good feedback, if you get a bad grade make changes and resubmit for more credit.
solid dude. if you got things go talk to him early. he will work with you. as he told me respect to the deadlines allows him to be flexible with me. I think he's very fair
Easy class with an interesting part of psych I didn't know about. All quizzes open book and just a few assignments that he lets you research your own career. So that was helpful. Recommend it. Oddly needed for healthcare industry class.
Just took his final today and left class with an A. He is an amazing professor, he gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Super fair, student's fault if they fail the class. Attending class helps a lot. I would take him again if I could.
Professor Baker truly cares about his students. The many 5 star ratings are justified in his case. Wish he taught more classes at M.V.C.C.
took as 8 week class, everything was mcgraw hill concepts so it was time consuming because it was an accelerated class, one paper and it was super easy, 2-3 discussion boards, and final exam is a 50 question multiple choice test on canvas (it had random mcgraw hill questions you've done before) ended with an A+, wish he taught more pysch classes.
He's such a nice professor, if you are confused on assignment just send him an email and he'll respond right away and explain it very well. Assignments are very easy and he gives great feedback on them. 100% take them.
Unfortunately, my experience with Professor Baker was disappointing. He is very strict, not flexible, and offers little support. Communication is unapproachable, grading is extremely harsh, and the class feels stressful rather than helpful. I would not recommend this course for students who need guidance or understanding.
Professor Baker, was amazing, I loved his lectures. The class is pretty easy, but you have to have to pay attention. One disadvantage, is when taking the quiz, I was confused on what to actually study or go over before the quiz, causing stress. Overall, class is amazing:)

Genuinely baffled how this guy has a high rating. One of the strictest graders I've had at MVCC. Harsh rules and removes points for everything. Constantly bombarded us with mean rude messages accusing us of using AI and saying he was going to turn us in to the college and kick us out for cheating and using AI. Clearly has issues.
Great class, responds right away. Assignments are clear and easy, but a little time consuming. Guessing last couple of reviews used gpt and got busted. He's very upfront that he checks for that so keep that in mind if considering, but if you are going to do the work, take him. Easy class and I found him to be nice and accommodating.
