He is a great teacher who is always there to help when needed. His has a lot of work, but it is needed in order to understand the class.
He's one of the best professors I've had.
He's a pretty cool professor. A lot of people don't like him b/c they're closed-minded, but if you can think outside of the box, you'll love his class!
No Comments
He is a good teacher who tries to open your eyes and get you thinking like early philosophers did. Don't be offended by what he teaches and you will enjoy the class. I do.
No Comments
The class was difficult but his lectures were always entertaining. Can be mildly offensive, but I thought it was funny.
I thought I would like this class a lot, but Dr. Baldwin makes it kind of boring by just lecturing the entire time.
His reviews make the tests very easy. RECOMMENED!!!!!!! Helps the students to do well.

Not helpful and does not stay on the subject. I would take a different class! His style of teaching was strange.
No Comments
Do not take this class with this teacher. Does not help you at all.
Take a different class. This school is way better than this teacher's way of teaching.
Bounces in and out of the subject. Talks alot about personal matters. Hard to follow school work.
Please save yourself and skip this teacher.
Let me say this: He thinks alot about his personal life and the things he has done! You will hear ALL about HIM. You will become tired very fast.
I didn't like this class.
No Comments
I did not enjoy his teaching style.
I agree with ALL of the other ratings. GCCC is a first class school, so do not rate the school by this teacher. I LOVED every other class and teachers I had.
Please save me! Someone come get me out of this class...

Can be a little offensive with his language, but he's a really good teacher, in my opinion. Defeinatly not for everyone, though.
No Comments
If you like studying then you'll love him.
He is a very enthusastic teacher that has vast knowledge on what he teaches. Though some may come to find that he has a VERY fact base teaching method which might anger some religiouse people. I find this to be very intresting. He also tends to go off of side trails of topics to make it more pertanent to you.

Class is fun and the tests are easy
He goes off topic more than he stays on topic. I went to school to learn about the classes I signed up for, but he has his own ideas about what we should do in his class!
I did not enjoy his teaching style. I dropped this class and plan on re-taking it with someone else!
I liked his class. He was to the point on what he wanted you to learn. If you listen to him in class you score great on your essays. I took it in the Summer so it was a condensed course and still pulled off a B
He does not explain things and will not help you out
No Thanks!
I did not understand his style. I will be re-taking this with a different teacher.
He can be nice but isnt a very clear or helpful teacher

most hatefullest professor ever. believes everyone is ignorant and the only correct opinion is his.
He only believes in HIS opinion. And he claims to be a christian, but he only talks about and promotes evil ideas!
BEAM ME UP - PLEASE!! Get me out of this "fake/flake's" class.
Baldwin though seemingly callous at first turned out to be a great professor. Regardless of the negative general opinions on this site he does care about the sucess of his students in class.
The class itself was fairly interesting at times, as long as Dr. Baldwin stayed on topic instead of launching into one of his many spiels regarding his body building past. I'm not religious, but if I were, I would be offended by many of his comments. Seems to be incredibly **** as well.
He is very ignorant and talks about sex the whole time. He is very cruel about everyone's religion. I do not recommend him to anyone!
He was not a good teacher at all i do not recomend!!!
I very much enjoyed his take on things. To me it was humorous but defiantly not a professor to have if you’re easily offended or embarrassed on certain topics. He understands a great deal about history but is very opinionated about his ideals. He goes off topic A LOT and still expects you to know all your stuff when the exam comes however he does g

I loved this class, he is very smart and knows a lot about what he's teaching. I think he's very funny, though I am not easily offened. He's very open-minded and teaches that way. I would take him again. Material is challenging though, but shouldn't it be?
If you are not open-minded he will really piss you off. If you are set in your beliefs he will really piss you off. If you are not willing to face facts he will really piss you off. Overall... a WONDERFUL TEACHER! Highly recommended!
If you are offended by him, you should quit college and become a tool for a living. This man is great, honest, and speaks truth to power. Yes, he makes sure to criticize religion. But religion needs to be criticized. If you disagree, then challenge the history he presents. He does not lie. This is school people, where you learn new things!
Great teacher. Must be open-minded, if not he will definitely offend. You need to know everything he covers for the test. Read his class notes before you go to class and read the chapters in the textbook and you'll do fine.
Most awesome teacher ever! Love how he doesnt care if he pisses you off. All of these negative reviews are from people who are religious or not open minded. Not for everybody. Challenging but if you think hes to hard its just your IQ. Youll either love him or hate him.
Professor Baldwin allowed me the opportunity to test my faith, ideals, and truths by closely examining my theories. By his careful analysis I was able to reaffirm my beliefs, because he tested me as a person, student, and friend. Baldwin was single-handedly one of the most influential teachers to have ever graced GCCC Halls, Youll love him!
Takes attendance every day. Gives you extra credit assignments to add points to your test grade. Sometimes repeats himself but is overall a pretty interesting lecture. Reads off the test as a review the class before you take it so you know exactly what to study, (and what the answer is, for that matter.)
Guy knows his stuff but it's hard to know what he'll test on.
this roid head is a complete moron...simple as that, and no im not into religion...hes an idiot!
Was excited to learn from someone who knew so many areas that related to each other. thought he would be informative and A TEACHER. he will shut you down, even if your asking a question. ridicules students openly and is very pompous and arrogant. he knows he stuff but doesn't teach it. you'll learn more about his girlfriend(s) and bigfoot from him
Before taking Western Civ with Baldwin I had no interest in History, Religion, Philosophy, or critical thinking. He completely captured my attention and actually made me think. Unlike most professors he does not accept opinion as fact, he will challenge your ideas by asking for evidence for your beliefs. This is what a professor SHOULD do.
Pure genius, honestly he keeps the class interesting. It is not exactly easy or the most exciting material, however we have a good time learning it. It is currently my favorite class. When I have been absent, I felt like I probably missed something "cool". He keeps it fresh giving students the opportunity to discuss the topics at hand and then some
Wow, people seriously think he's bad? I guess if you just want a professor to not care, he would be, but otherwise he's one of the best I've had. He challenges students to think (many of which feel this is him being mean), and is always available to help. So if you don't want to open your mind, don't take him. But then, why would you be in college?
AWFUL!! he says he has an open mind and he wants you to help 'cure his stupitidy' however if you bring something to his attention he doesn't like in the slightest he will attack you and not listen to a word you are saying. and if you don't believe exactly what he does GOOD LUCK!!!
He is the msot inspiring prefessor that i've ever had. He really goes above and beyond for his students.
One of the best professors Ive ever had. His class teaches you so much, and he makes it fun. I actually dont want to skip his class. He may be a skeptic, but instead of thinking he is correct on every aspect, he mearly asks students to consider why they believe what they do. A wonderful man, an even better teacher. Opened my eyes to many things.
Great guy on both an academic and personal level. If you can stop being defensive about your beliefs for 5 minutes you'll realize he never attacks them, just asks questions. He makes class so interesting that I feel bad when I'm absent because I missed out. Pay attention and you'll pass the class effortlessly. Don't buy the textbook.
The best professor I've ever had. He's very knowledgeable and knows the subject material very well. He usually gives out lots of answers for the tests. Made history very interesting because he gets you participating with your beliefs and thoughts. Not for the closed-minded or extremely religious, he'd get on your nerves. Loved this guy!
I wasn't looking forward to this class at all, but Dr. Baldwin made an hour and a half of history bearable by keeping it interesting and encouraging discussion. He's always got an interesting view on things, and fun to talk to after class if you need help with something. You can tell he loves his students.
Dr. Baldwin is very knowledgeable and keeps class interesting. He knows the subject matter and has a passion for the course content. I got a B but only because I didn't put in the required effort to get an A which I am kicking myself for. It has been a long time since I've had this class and I still remember the material. Great professor!
This guy is the bomb. He's fun, energetic, and awesome. He was the best teacher I had in Gulf Coast, bar none. If your lazy, simple minded, or close minded, you're screwed. This guy is probably one of the best experiences (and there's not much)that I had in Panama City. Study whatever he tells you to study, and you will get an A.
I took Professor Baldwin a few semesters ago. I can't believe all these negative comments. He is a great teacher and passionate about his subject matter. The people who rated negative better get ready, if they plan to go to a university this is what you are going to get!
People tried to discourage me form taking this class with Dr. Baldwin. I am glad that I took this class. Baldwin made the class extremely fun, my knowledge has increased. Baldwin also go over half of the test a couple days before testing. Tape recording is allowed while going over the test. There are about three extra credit papers.(Recommend)
Great teaching and a great bodybuilder. I hope I have guns like his at his age.
Best professor of all time. I learned more in this class than I did in any other class I have taken. He makes class fun, and he is absolutely hilarious. A++++ would take class again.
Mr. Baldwin is a really good teacher. He keeps class interesting and interactive often taking surveys pertaining to the material like "who's side are you on : Aeneas's or Dido's" and he's always happy to go over your note cards with you to help your study habits improve. And okay, let's be honest...he's pretty easy on the eyes too! haha
He is very funny and interesting. Makes info and facts easy to interpret and remember. Has review before tests, and sometimes gives open book exams. I have enjoyed the class and have even read some of the books he introduced in class. I loved the class, very enticing.
Excellent professor, ideas and discussion are well thought out and interesting.
Good guy. Very knowledgeable!
Of all the professors I've had so far in my college career, he has been my least favorite. He's very enthusiastic about ancient history, but he's very arrogant and isn't shy about calling people idiots. Seeing people get shot down all the time made me afraid to contribute to class discussions. Don't recommend.
Dr. Baldwin provides slides and test reviews alomg with using the book. If you study the slides and the book you should pass. Tape recorders are alowed on test review days. I also found this professor to be very helpful.
Dr. Baldwin is the best the study material provided is what you need to pass the class. Just grab the study guides and study everything is in there follow the syllabus and you be just fine. A+++++ Great professor.
Very good teacher he knows what he is talking about. He kind of bashes religeon but if you just pay no mind to that he is excellent.
Good Guy really cares about his students just participate in the class discussion and you will do great
took him for a short summer session. really smart guy. very passionate. knows his stuff. gives you everything you need to know for tests and exams. not a difficult class if you pay attention to the exam reviews he gives in class. don't be late. he's not afraid to call people out. all in all i would recommend this teacher.
I had his class for Western Civilization. I don't really enjoy history and that is probably why I made a C. But I only made a C because he would read some of the test answers off at the end of the last class before each test. He is funny but I did not really learn anything.
Very good professor! Extremely smart guy. Read the study guide and lectures that he provides on Angel and you'll do fine.
I did not like Baldwin. If you voiced your opinion about religion he looked down on you. I studied all day and all night but could not pass. I ended up failing Algebra because I concentrated so much on this class. I took voice memos on what he said and studied the 'cheat sheet' that he gave. I will not be taking his class again.
I absolutely loved his class, he is hilarious and is very passionate about his job, you don't need your book, listen too every lecture and print out the notes he has on angel for you, study and pay attention and you will do good. I would have done better if I just studied more but if you are having a hard time he will help with open arms
I loved having him as a teacher! I took him this year for philosophy and once for west civ. He really enjoys his work and is so enthusiastic. He makes you question the world around you, in a good way. He also reads off the test and answers the class before test day! Highly recommend.
Worst teacher I have ever had. He practically shoves his atheistic views down your throat and I'm really open minded. He asked one day why girls fight with each other a lot and we answered that we're more emotional based he said, "So you're blaming your periods?" I despised having to sit in this class because I knew there was arrogance to come.
WORST TEACHER EVER
Great teacher, does not bash other religions like other people have noted. He even tells you that if he upsets you to say something. He's just very open minded, one of the best teaches I have ever had.
I got an A in this class, however I will never take a class with this professor again. He is VERY condescending and opinionated. If you have a question,his response feels like a slap across the face, which I feel discourages a student.He is precise in his instructions.The work and tests are not hard. There is a 5 page term paper to write. Grade: D
Professor Baldwin was by far one of my favorite teachers. People who complain about him are likely sensitive and used to Professors that sugar coat things. Baldwin is honest, smart, funny, and a very caring guy. When I had personal problems that I spoke with him about, he was very kind and understanding. If you're close minded, don't bother.
Horrible, just horrible. I learned absolutely nothing! I have NEVER made lower than a B in a class, but I hated this class so much because of this teacher that I withdrew from the class and changed my major just so I would NEVER have to take on of his classes again
Took two of his classes, philosophy and humanities, and passed with an A. A lot of people dislike him, but I loved him. He is so passionate about his subject and will open your mind to other thoughts and beliefs. Definitely not for closed-minded or weak backboned people. I recommend him to everyone!
Dr Baldwin's class is really something else. On the one hand, he is very excited about what he teaches and is very knowledgeable. He's also very understanding. I endured a bad breakup and missed some days of class and he was compassionate. On the other hand, he has very strong views about religion and isn't afraid to share. I enjoyed his class.
Baldwin is an arrogant, condescending teacher. He pushes "being understanding" but after seeing someone attempt to express alternative opinions that they couldn't validate to his standard, he seemed to have no education on politely dismissing, but rather attempted to humiliate the girl. My main advice, don't email him questions! He mocks them..
Dr. Baldwin has a very strong personality, but if you take the time and effort to speak with him, especially in person, you will realize that it is NOT because he is a jerk. He does express his opinions strongly but is absolutely willing to listen to your opinions and consider changing his own accordingly. Out of all the teacher. VERY respectable.
He is so Vindictive and thinks he knows everything. If your a Christian don't even take his class he is very rude when it comes to Christianity, and peoples beliefs. His teaching is boring and he talks to fast.
Dr. Baldwin is a very polarizing professor as you can tell from these reviews. If you're sensitive DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I, personally, enjoyed his strong personality and I found the class to be easy if you study. Tests are very straight forward along with a single term paper.
Absolutely one of the best professors. Like others say, if you're close-minded or sensitive you won't enjoy. Lots of information in a short time, but he's CLEAR about what's on the test. All tests are online except the final, and he gives a word for word review, couldn't be more helpful. I'm already registered in another of his classes. RECOMMEND!
Loved having Baldwin's class! He is an amazing teacher. He is straight to the point and blunt about facts. Some people got upset during this class due his non-traditional beliefs, but that was because they asked for his personal opinion. Don't ask for what you don't want to hear. He goes over tests in depth and will help you with anything you need!
I took Baldwin for western civ, and I'm taking him now for a religion class. He's a great teacher - very funny and has clear, interesting lectures. He teaches very objectively which might offend students, but I personally love it. Teaches fact and not opinion. Highly recommend!
Mr. Baldwin seemed he would be a good teacher at the beginning of the semester. But as time went on I began to realize just how awful this class actually is. He is unreliable when it comes to making deadlines line up with the assignments sheet he provides online. Also, quizzes and test questions are almost always no where to be found in the notes.
Best professor I have ever had in any level of schooling. Would recommend to take class for anyone going to Gulf Coast. Baldwin is incredibly smart, entertaining, and charismatic. His lectures are so entertaining that I would listen to him talk through legal documents. You don't need to go to class to pass, but I never skipped because of how good.
Few tests and extra credits. His lectures are funny, will explain every thing clearly.
Dr. Baldwin is a great teacher, he is very smart and extremely well spoken. He gets off topic very easily though and can talk about his self and rtandom things for extended amounts of time, but it's entertaining to say the least. His tests and very easy to pass and pretty much the same format every time. ever had homework or quizes. 7/10
Best teacher ever ! Hard for me because he speaks really fast! You can tell his high level of education and preparation. Best experience in college ! He inspires me to be better ! I got a (C) This class seems easy but you have to really read and prepare for class ! Enjoy his class !
Baldwin is not worth the pain. If you want to spend the semester teaching yourself and being verbally degraded, this is the class for you. If you have any respect for yourself, your beliefs, and the beliefs of others... STEER CLEAR!
Regardless of the negativity expressed by this some, Dr. Baldwin is an exceptional professor who provides students with what is needed for success in the class if studied. He has a very big heart, contrary to what he wants you to believe. Baldwin is my favorite and I will always remember his passion for history introducing me to mine.
The class material is not difficult, however I did not enjoy taking from Professor Brennan. He did not follow the syllabus and our assignment due dates were very scattered. His grading didn't follow the standards of a rubric. The midterm was 35 minutes for 25 questions and an essay. I got all 25 correct and failed the midterm due to the time limit.
He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He is also very passionate about ancient history. He's hilarious and makes the class enjoyable. It's an easy A IF you pay attention; however, I hate history so I could barely focus lol. I loved taking this class with him and I'm certainly going to miss talking to him after class, he's a cool guy!
Carefully think before you speak, and be able to take some criticism when taking Mr. Baldwin's class. Enjoys discussion and quite frequently can get carried away. Stay away from religion and physics if you have any hope of getting back on track. Took Intro to Classical Phil, and he always reviewed material the last class meeting before the test.
Only grades by his lectures. Not the textbook as he only cares about his own opinion. Beware of showing your own personality as he is super judgemental and rude. He doesn't seem to care about his students at all. Very tough on the grading. All that matters towards your final grade are the few unit tests, midterm and final. One giant struggle.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE. The material is extensive and extremely hard to comprehend if you're not a history person. There are about 3-5 readings per week (some are over 10 pages long). Reading and analyzing just one can take hours, as its not directly pointed out what you need to know for the exams.
used textbooks
Tough class, but unstuck ai and the free textbook helped me get through it. Definitely worth attending lectures to stay on top of the material.
