Dr. Baker is what professors should be like! She doesn't just go to work a regular job. She makes it a point for everyone to understand what she's teaching. She's not pushy or strict. It's up to you if you want to pass. She does over 100% of her job to teach, and does it in a real good way. She's understands and dedicates herself to teaching PSY

Fun teacher. Always starts class in an energetic mood. Explains every section/chapter clearly. Quizzes/exams are not that difficult as long as you study. She's a fair grader and you have the opportunity to get almost 20pts extra credit. But, I think class is a little backwards. The quizzes are first then the lecture. So you're on your own for them.

She was a great teacher. I really enjoyed all her lectures and she does a great job at keeping you engaged. She has a regular amount of homework and there is a total of four exams.

She is a very sweet person and cares greatly about her students. She has a great deal of knowledge about psychology. There are quizzes and hw due every sunday night, but not difficult to complete. The final exam is not cumulative. There are great discussions throughout class, she requires to participation towards your grade.

Dr. Baker is an amazing teacher who is always so happy to see her students. She wants you to pass but will still make you work for it. PSYCH IS HARD!! DO NOT THINK U WILL GET AN EASY A! However, Dr. Baker makes the class a lot easier in my opinion because of her attitude and how she goes about teaching. No cumulative final! TAKE PSYCH WITH HER!

I took her twice once for PSY-100 and then again for PSY-216. She is heavy on participation but she makes it easy to get those points. She loves what she does and teaches very well. She gives lots of examples to help your understanding. If I could take her for a third time then I totally would. She's kind, sweet and very understanding.

The exams are over 4-5 chapters. The chapters arent short either! You definitely have to work hard in order to get the grade you want. She trys to give resources but youre really on your own when preparing for work assigned in her class.

Dr. Baker gives a weekly 10 multiple choice quiz, a 50 multiple choice exam every 3 chapters covered, and a 4 page writing assignment. Gives plenty of time for you to prepare and complete at home. Goes over material students find the hardest to understand and does many student activities that are very helpful. No hw, easy if you just read the book.

She was ok personality wise but very strict with deadlines and made us read 40+ pages per week. Also she basically wanted our lives to revolve around the class.

The whole semester I learned everything from reading the textbook. Dr Baker is very sweet and gives some easy extra credit phone calls. Quizzes were very easy but exams were extremely difficult. She gives one 5-7 page essay assignment that had unclear/confusing directions. I would not recommend taking her class online.

Met once a week and would only really go over 1/3 of what the chapter was about. Confusing quiz questions and quiz is timed 25 minutes to answer 25 questions so you almost feel rushed. Everything comes from the book so be prepared to read and comprehend a lot.

Amazing professor! Only thing is she only offers hybrid classes, which means meeting only once a week. In that class time she only goes over the harder concepts of the chapter. In order to get a good grade in the class you have to spend 6+ hours a week on this course alone. I do highly recommend this class because she makes it fun and interesting.

She offers lots of extra credit, participation is mandatory but it is very easy to participate, her quizzes can get confusing for lack of specification and they are timed. They are home quizzes tho so open notes and book. but overall good teacher

Professor Baker was a great instructor. Does use a textbook which is great to complete study guides for weekly quizzes and the final. One paper due early on so "it doesn't stress students out during midterms" as she said. Final was open note and based on about 6 units she announced a week prior. Lectures very intriguing, great material learned.
