She is a awesome teacher. I wanted to go to class everyday because she makes it very interesting. The rest of my class usually did not want to take breaks because she keep your interest. Test are not hard, but you do have to study your notes and some from the book. So if you miss class get notes from someone that takes GOOD notes.

This teacher was great. Her number one goal is to make sure that all of her students understand the material being presented to them. If you take notes, you can easily get a 100% in this class. But, you must attend class to get all of the information that she covers in lectures. Take her! Highly recommended.

Easiest class I have ever taken. There is a weekly quiz with multiple attempts, no homework and 2 self-assessments throughout the semester. The tests are exactly like the quizzes so if you get good grades on the quizzes the exams should be a breeze. She offers multiple extra credit options and exams have 2 attempts. I 100% recommend Dr. Baker.

Dr. Baker made everything accessible outside of class so if you were unable to attend that was ok, however she gives AMAZING lectures. There is no extra credit until the end of the semester but the coursework is easy to the point if you try and pay attention you shouldnt need it. If you have the chance to take Dr. Baker do it.

Dr. Baker was a great professor! She doesn't just read off the slide she goes into detail about every subject. All the test and quizzes are online and as long as you take notes you should pass. The Textbook readings are not required they are just there as an extra source to help you understand the information that she discussed in class.

Amazing lectures! Really passionate about the class. If you pay attention in class, the test should be easy. I rarely had to read the online book. Dr. Baker covers about 95% of the topics in here lectures. The other 5% was documents I had to analyze. Highly recommend!

Professor Baker gives very detailed lectures that line up with her exams. She is very organized on blackboard, which makes the course easy to get through. The exams are straightforward, and if you attend in-person lectures or watch the online ones, you'll pass every exam.

Highly recommend Professor Baker! She's so sweet and always responds/sends out emails quickly. She gives multiple attempts for the weekly quiz and exams and offers extra credit. Study the lecture slides and you'll pass easily. Attendance isn't mandatory and she puts everything online which makes material very easy to access.

Dr. Baker's class was great! Every week there is a lecture, quiz (w/ multiple attempts). She gives the option for extra credit if it's needed. Provides a study guide for the exams. Exams are used with Lockdown but not proctored. 2 self-assessments throughout the course and 4 exams. Lectures can be lengthy but she tries to keep them fun and upbeat.

One of the easiest classes I've ever taken. I took this class online. There are weekly quizzes with unlimited attempts so you can redo the quiz until you get 100, there's also only 5 questions per quiz. There are four exams which are also multiple choices. Didn't need to do much in this class. I would absolutely take her classes again.

History 1302 was a breeze with Professor Baker. You can expect all course work and deadlines to reflect the syllabus. One chapter and one lecture a week with quizzes that correspond. She provides great study guides that you can complete yourself that make prepping for the exams painless.

Took her 5 wk summer course, she was awesome! Despite the heavy work load of 4 units per wk, her lectures were very helpful. Fill out the study guides along with the lectures and you'll pass all the tests. Quizzes are only 5 questions, tests are 25. She is easy to contact and will help you out! I recommend her, she was a wonderful prof!

All of her teaching was just lectures and the lecture videos. You have little assignments and the test, and that's it. You don't need to attend every class, since the slides are posted, but she does have participation writing moments. Very easy class to take.

Class is extremely easy and the lectures are completely optional and able to be accessed online if needed. The only work you will get is a weekly 5 question quiz, the 4 exams which use the same questions as the previous quizzes, and 2 self assessments that are impossible to fail unless you use Ai. Really great class that improved my year.

Dr Baker class will not be a class you have to worry about. Her lectures clear and to the point. I found it very easy to take notes. There is not much homework besides a weekly checkpoint quiz and test which are both open notes. Make sure you do go to class because she does take attendance through exit and entrance tickets from time to time.

Professor Baker was a decent professor but she will push her political views constantly. She does these end of class assessments of something you went over in class so be prepared to at least know what she is talking about. She will also call you out. She doesn't respect anyone's time besides hers and she will go over time for her lectures

Personally, I like my professors to engage in lectures and not just read straight from the PowerPoints like a drone, but that is what Professor Baker does, online tests and quizzes are easy as are the self-assessment, however she just reads the notes and its very boring.

LOVE THIS CLASS AND WOMAN! Online is super easy, just make sure you watch the lecture videos, take notes, and you'll be fine. The videos tend to be on the longer side, normally an hour or more long, so make sure you plan according. Exams are easy too, lockdown browser. Just do the work and apply yourself, and you'll get an A.

Take her! She's the best professor ever and her lectures are so engaging. She is a bit lecture heavy, but she makes them interesting (she also uploads them on blackboard if you miss a class). I would recommend doing her essay option over the multiple choice; the essay gives you time to brainstorm.
