Good professor, his quizzes and final are very easy, and he is EXTREMELY helpful in the lab.

Class is not too bad. Funy guy. Quizzes and tests are what you expect, but you must study and understand the material. Helpful in lab and after class.

Very clear in explaining things, tells jokes. Tells you what will be on tests, but you must study for them. Overall a good teacher.

Very good professor. All around laid-back, tells jokes, and finals and tests are easy enough. Would recommend.

His classes are laid back and he will tell ou what to study, but you must study. The lab is simple, but a report with lots of tables are due with each experiment.

Funny Guy, should have done a post-doc, but instead, went to comedy school. Need to invest in some clothes

Dr. Baldwin is a great teacher. I really enjoyed his lectures. The labs actually included some interesting things! It is possible to get an A, and he will help you! I highly recommend!

His lectures are a tad boring (they're Chemistry lectures, what do you expect?), but he makes sure to give you info that will make the lab much easier. He always stops to waste 5 minutes with a silly joke. He's one of the only Chem Profs I know of who makes it a point to show up at the labs, and in this regard he was VERY helpful.

Helpful in everyway. Lecture notes usually help when the Final test comes around so its in everyone's best interest to go to class. Teaches well and straight to the point. Tell a joke every lecture. A very good chemistry professor.

Prof. Baldwin was awesome - he told jokes in the middle of class, and he actually taught us the material too. He was extremely helpful and always willing to help out a student if you go and see him during his office hours. I would recommend taking him!

After struggling in 207, I took Baldwin for 208 and thought he was wonderful! He took some time during lectures and answered any question you had, and therefore I began to comprehend chemistry. He's also really friendly and funny and visits all the labs he can. That's nice to know that he's being active in his work.

LOVE HIM! He is so helpful and tells jokes in the middle of class to keep your attention. He goes around to the different lab sections to check on the students. Unlike other professors who only care about their research, he cares about his students. Only complaint is his hand writing. Take him, he rocks. I also had him for 208.

Dr. Baldwin is an EXCELLENT professor to take for chemistry labs. His quizzes and finals are almost free points if you read the lessons, and he is really a nice guy! Take Dr. Baldwin for CHEM 208/209/210 if possible!

Great person. Great professor. Very willing to help. Attend class, study the material, and you can get an A. The final exam is tricky, but make sure you study old exams, which he provides you, and you'll be fine. Take him if you have the chance.

He's not amazing, but he's better than most. You definitely learn something, but he's unclear about the final.

Professor Baldwin's class teaches you a lot but is extremely easy to do well in. there are 6 labs and a final, all labs you can retake in the final week. allows you to perform lab with other sections if you need to

Baldwin is pretty chill, he makes funny jokes during his lecture to keep us entertained, and he's really helpful if you don't understand a subject like pH or something. The labs are simple, and he allows redos of any lab you might mess up on. The final exam isnt bad as long as you study. A really good teacher for an intro to chemistry labs

Professor Baldwin was very kind and easy to work with. He lectures on what you will do on the lab, as well as gives you important information about calculations that will appear on the final. Most questions from the final comes from the lecture concepts, not the labs; so be sure to go to lecture. He also hosts a review session for the final!

Professor Baldwin was awesome. He told the best jokes and always explained what we would be doing in labs clearly. He didn't care which lecture you showed up to as long as you went to one.

His lectures are very helpful with completing and understanding the labs. The labs were well laid out and easy to understand. He always told a joke in the middle of the class which was nice. The final was a little challenging but nothing unbearable.

This test is an easy A if you have a good background in chemistry. You are basically guaranteed an A on every lab if you go to your TA's office hours for help. The final wasn't bad at all. He gives you a practice test to review before the final which is basically identical to the final with just different numbers.

This class only last for half of a semester. He tells jokes in the middle of the lecture. Hard to hear him if you sit at the back of the room because his voice doesn't really carry far. All the labs are pretty easy but the test is really hard. Be prepared.

Dr. Baldwin knows that lectures are long and boring, so he always tells a terrible joke (really corny, punny jokes) in the middle of his lectures. He gives important equations and details about the exam during lectures, so don't skip out. The final wasn't too bad, just make sure you know how to work the equations from the experiments.

Chem 209 was much easier than chem 207/208. Dr. Baldwin was much clearer in this course. The labs are actually fun in this course. His lectures tell you everything you need to know for the lab and some things for the final. His office hours are confusing though. Sometimes you have to find him.

Prof. Baldwin is pretty laid back and nice, but you interact with your TA more--they grade the assignments. Visiting TA Help Desk was really helpful and improved my lab grades. Use past exams and supplied by Baldwin and your labs to study for final and you'll be fine!

If you have a choice in professors for this class, definitely chose Baldwin. He does a great job in delivering information that is helpful for the labs and the final. He doesn't grade your work, so how tough of a grader you have depends on the lab TA you are assigned.

Baldwin is a really chill professor and does a great job with this class. Lectures aren't necessary, but they help to explain what to do in the lab and give material for the final. Lab grades depend on TA: ours accused half the class of not turning in Lab 1 and gave most below an 80% on Lab 5. However, you can redo labs you do poorly on.

Awesome professor, great lectures that actually prepare students for their lab experiments. He wants students to succeed. Hes lenient on attendance and allows you to pick when you go to lecture from all sections open. He teaches to the final and goes over a practice test in class the week before. Best lab teacher ever!

This lab is super easy. There is a help desk for the lab reports so you have no reason to get a bad grade. The only semi-hard thing is the final test but he gives you old finals to study so it is really easy. Super chill guy. Also this course is only half of the semester and the second part, 208 is the same way.

Baldwin doesn't actually teach much of the course, a TA will run the 6 labs. He has lectures Mon/Tue that will explain what to do in lab and give you some help on the pre-lab! Your grade depends on how harsh your TA is, but there's a help desk I recommend. Baldwin is a nice enough dude. He knows his stuff and always tells a joke in class.

Chemistry is hard but he does try to lighten it up a bit. Hes very laid back and his lectures arent boring!

Dr. Baldwin is a great professor and a great guy. He single-handedly made chem 207 bearable for me. He is really funny and he does offer some great advice for freshman. 10/10

If you show up to lectures and follow the instructions he gives you, this class is very easy to follow and very easy to pass. Would definitely recommend it.

pretty easy as long as you take the time on the labs. he is really quiet though so sit towards the front during lectures, otherwise he is good as giving you all the information you will need, especially for the exam

Baldwin is such a kind and understanding professor. He would see if anyone had questions throughout the lecture and would a lot of the times stay after class for any other questions. Halfway through the lecture he would tell a funny story. He also holds multiple practice exam reviews and does them on the board. Overall very caring prof.

Baldwin's lectures are always fantastic! With his lectures and the lab documents, the labs themselves are very clear and straightforward. And the quizzes and reports are easy A's so long as you put time in. My only issue with the course, is that the reports take up way more of your time than a 1 credit lab should.

Cool guy

Dr. Baldwin is amazing. He clearly lectures so that you understand the subject thoroughly, but keep in mind that he does not grade the lab reports. The person who runs your lab does, so if you have an issue with a grade take it up with them and not Baldwin, because most likely he won't have any idea what you're talking about.

Very straightforward lectures, but you may have to get outside help if you don't already understand some amount of basic chemistry. Labs are worth the majority of your grade, but the final exam is fairly difficult.

Baldwin is an absolute riot. Leaves a little bit lacking in terms of explaining chemistry, so your grade is pretty much determined by your ability to teach yourself. He makes up for it by being a genuinely funny old man. Final was pretty easy too. He's a good choice for an intro chem lab.

Prof. Baldwin really didn't have much to do with the class, as the TAs who ran the labs were the ones who did most of the work. He did end the semester on a final exam that was graded quite harshly and didn't really relate much to the labs that we had previously done.

Dr. Baldwin is a friendly professor but the final exam is worth a very large portion of points. Attendance is worth points as well. I enjoyed his class and feel that I learned from it.

he explained all experiments and concepts super well. really great guy! beware of the final exam though- I had a 97 in this class and the final dropped me to a B. Make sure you go to the sessions where you can check over your answers!! your TA will make or break your lab experience. If you get a bad TA- just go to another TA's help session.

I had Dr Baldwin for chem 207 and 209. I think overall the lectures were informative and helped in the lab but I felt that the quizzes and the final exam weren't cohesive with the lectures. I think some of it has to do with the disconnect between Dr Baldwin and the TA's though. The class was fine but you have very few grades which can be difficult.

Baldwin seemed to truly care for his students and it was clear he had a genuine passion for the subject. I thought the lectures were only useful for the prelabs and sometimes I felt they weren't useful at all. In my opinion, the grade you get in the class is based on the TA you have during the lab, since they grade majority of the material.

Absolutely loved Dr.Baldwin. He keeps it real and gets straight to the point. In between lecture he says a funny story. For the final, he gives a mock exam and hosts a review session. If you attend it and do the mock test you'll get an A. Final was easy if you go to the session where he answers the mock test. Overall clear, and concise professor.

Graded by labs that can be made-up in the last week of the class. Mostly, it depends on who the TA is directing your section. The undergraduate TAs are much better about helping and interacting with students than the graduate students and they try to fail you. Dr.Baldwin is chill though and will bump up your final grade if u are close!

His lectures weren't too bad and he would tell funny stories to deliver content and keep the class interesting. His grading scale was very cut and dry, but if you needed help he would always be willing to help. For the final, he gave a practice exam and held extra study sessions to help you prepare for it.

Dr Baldwin is a really nice guy, however the class is a big step up in difficulty from 207/208. You only have 3 experiments, 2 quizzes, and a final for your grades so make sure to do good on the quizzes and final because you can make up the labs at the end of the class if need be.

Dr. Baldwin is such a sweet guy. He gives you a practice exam that is pretty much exactly like the final exam and the pre-lab questions and lab reports are really easy as you can go to the TA help desk and basically have them tell you exactly what to do. He is also patient when it comes to late lab reports which can be helpful.

I was in the honors section. Dr. Baldwin was a great professor overall. The class is super lab-heavy, but it's easy to do well on the labs if you read the handout and do it right. The final exam is pretty tough (lower than 75% average), but if you do well on all the labs, you'll still get an A. He also normally gives a study guide, he didn't for us

i had Dr. Baldwin for honors chem 207 and 208 and i enjoyed the class. the labs were fun and the TAs were really helpful. the only thing was that there's only one exam for the class and it's 25% of your grade. use the study guide he puts in blackboard. but he was a great professor and works with students to help them succeed.

Ultimately, so much is decided by who your TA is, but Baldwin himself is great. He won't make his finals easy, but he is a genuinely kind man. Went to him because his final was the last day before Thanksgiving break and I had planned to be out of town and he let me take the final LATE because he said "I should be where it mattered". Final HARD tho

Very funny jokes in classes. Lectures were dull and not super helpful for the most part. Final exam had a study guide that was very helpful, but still very tough. Lab determines your grade pretty much.

TAs make or break your labs, but Professor Baldwin's lectures can be very entertaining but ultimately not important to course success. You can remake one lab but also send corrections to previous labs to improve grade (but capped to a degree). Study guide given before test, pretty much all test questions. Labs are important for your grade!!

Dr. Baldwin is a great professor. Go to his lectures and take advantage of the TA help desk - that's key to getting a good grade. unstuck study also helped me prepare for the final.

Baldwin is a great professor to have for your first chemistry lab. He goes over the entire lab during his lectures and walks you through exactly what needs to be done for a good grade. He isn't very technology heavy, but is very understanding and responsive when you email or go to office hours. Final questions are pulled from various quizzes given.

Similar to any other 207/208 lab and lecture, Baldwin is really good at giving clear details for what he looks for in a lab report. The chem lab itself is just a traditional chem lab but the lectures are very helpful as long as you go to them because he does not record content nor post slideshows very often, if at all.

Dr. Baldwin is great. He is very understanding and accesible outside lectures. The quizzes and exams are fair, and based on the experiments done in the lab. He provides a practice exam before, and the quiz questions before the quiz. To get an A is not hard, just listen to the TA's, get as much help as you can from them, and do the lab work right.

Pretty chill guy. Make sure to be prepared for lecture and lab each week, and try to get the most points you can with lab reports and quizzes; you may need this space later on after his final exam. For non-honors, the exam can be awfully difficult with a bad average. The honors class fared better on the final exam than the regular course.

He teaches well and explains things adequately during the recitations. Definitely study for the quizzes/final. Absolutely no leeway is given in terms of grading so you need to be prepared to make as few mistakes as possible.

He is a good professor...he is very big on lectures and sometimes it's confusing of what he is trying to explain. There is a textbook but it's online and he pulls all his lectures from it. Make sure to follow the textbook and take notes as he teaches. There are quizzes and there is a final.

I had Dr. Shah for these labs and though she wasn't perfect she was still relatively good and taught well. My only complaint was the grading took forever, and she had little contact with the TAs if your TA is acting up like mine did, you have to tell on them to get to work. She hardly ever responded to emails as well.
