Mr. Baldwin is a great History teacher and makes the class interesting to come to. He does require 4 essays and two multiple choice tests. Essays are usually 4-6 pages double spaced. He's easy to take notes from because he uses outlines. You'll need notes

Honestly if you can take his class, take it! Had him for history 1101 and 1102 and it is worth the 8am class. His lectures are definitely fun and interesting. 1 midterm, and 1 final, with 2 questions and response essays. Essays are 5 pages min but its honestly so easy! Go to class, take notes, fill out study guide and the tests will be super easy.

Professor Baldwin is very caring and understanding. The class is lecture heavy but straight forward he talks a lot but clearly tells you that the only important information is what he writes on the board. There is three tests and two essays. But after each exam except for the final ofc he offers extra credit in order to bring up test grade.

Great professor for a GE. 3 tests, 2 essays, provides ample extra credit in case of bad exam scores. You really shouldn't worry about this class. Allows cheat sheet, though I never needed it, since I memorized the material, history is my thing, and the exam questions aren't complicated, and are from lectures (take notes). Bullet point-based lecture

Lectures are very easy to follow. Lectures feel as if he's directly having a conversation with his students about the subjects he covers which makes them very interesting. His extra credit essays, book essays, and exams are all based on his lectures and the notes that you take during lectures, so although attendance isn't mandatory it's important.

I LOVED THIS CLASS! Professor Baldwin is a GOAT, and I hardly ever found myself bored in his class. The pace was super fun, and fun jokes at appropriate times! Super easy to talk to, he's a very nice guy. Just write down what he says and you'll be just fine. I highly recommend his class to anyone who needs/wants to take a world history class! 11/10

Prof. Baldwin is a funny professor who enjoys teaching his students. Lectures are relatively easy if you pay attention and show up (highly recommended) as attendance isn't mandatory. Easy to fall behind if you skip lectures. Try your best to decipher his handwriting + make cheat sheets and start the book essays early! ^^

I loved this professor!!!!! Really cares about the students and wants you to succeed. This class is really lecture-heavy, but as long as you show up and take notes, you will pass easily. Gives extra credit and no homework :)

Prof Baldwin was great! He is funny and passionate. Only 3 exams and two easy papers. Plenty of extra credit. The work is easy just show up to class and take notes. If you love taking notes you'll love this class but he also gives the exam answers ahead of time just write them down. I really enjoyed his class and would totally take again.

The best professor ever. His lectures are actually super engaging and fun. He offers a lot of extra credit which he practically gives all the answers too. He isn't strict on essay deadlines and lets you turn anything in anytime as long as you get it in and communicate. Super easy class. Just show up and take notes and you will pass with an A.

Professor Baldwin is AMAZING. I took his course almost a year ago and realized I never came back to rate him. If I could give him a better rating he would deserve it. I truly learned so much from him. The best! Please take his class!

The class consists of weekly lectures, 3 exams, and 2 papers. The papers are read and respond to questions based on chapters from specified books. The exams are all about the lectures, and you're allowed a cheat sheet. He also offers extra credit. Overall, his lectures are amazing and organized! He's also a funny and caring professor!

I LOVE ROGER!! He is an amazing and passionate lecturer; he's the type to make you rethink the major you've chosen. Its lecture heavy but if you just write exactly what he does on the board, you'll have everything you need to succeed. The exams are 21, multiple choice questions, he gives lots of extra credit, and there are 2 book essays.
