Nice, seems to really enjoy what she's doing, always willing to help. A bit of a tough marker but otherwise good prof.

My final mark will only be approximately 65%. Was Susan easy? -- NO -- but she was fair. Great Prof.

hard but very nice and extremely open minded the only prof that will take opinions other than her own into consideration...very boring however

Very nice lady, but really tough marker!!

A smart woman and a good teacher. She marks rather hard but makes useful comments.

This class could be boring at times, but I really enjoyed it. Expects a lot out of your papers and makes extensive comments which are helpful. I recommend her; she knows her lit and is willing to help.

She is a VERY kind and generous woman. I went from having all 90s in highschool english to 60s in her class though. Not a very good highschool to university transition for a 100 level class.

She is the most available and helpful teacher that I have had. The grades may not reflect what I have learnt, but there is no doublt I came out of that class with an improvement of 100%.

It's pretty much all been stated here...a tough marker, excruciatingly boring classes, but a quirky, intelligent woman. Focus on romantic period poetry. If you want a helpful prof, take susan Bauman's class.

That previous comment is just nasty! Prof. Bauman really helped me. Very approachable and friendly. Writes amazingly detailed e-mails. Sure, the class could be boring at times--but grammar is boring, and poetry is hard. At least she's enthusiastic!

I don't know what my mark is going to be in this class yet, but I find the Gothic stories in this course very interesting. Lectures are a bit hard to follow at times, but also contain some good insights. Susan is friendly and very approachable.

Very nice and understanding. She writes very detailed notes(and even types them up) for each paper, which is extremly helpful! gothic lit has been very interesting! i recommend her.

We read really interesting stories. I loved Poe, Le Fanu and Jane Eyre. Susan's lectures were interesting and she was always available. I appreciated the feedback on papers, too. Good class!

Dr. Bauman's encouragement and helpful comments inspire confidence in your own ability. She really helped me improve my essay writing. I liked the material we studied too, although sometimes the lectures were a bit overwhelming.

good class. shes ok. hard marker, tho!

marks hard.. boring class, even worse topics, but she'll help you out with revising over and over again. Very nice woman

I liked this class in Gothic lit. Really entertaining. Poe rules!

I took this course in the summer. It was rushed but I really liked her teaching style. I'd take a course from her again.

Great teacher, I'm dissapointed I won't be taking any more classes with her!

class wasn't the worst ever. essay writing was hard, and ended up with a page of cristisisms after each essay saying how bad it was. wouldn't reccomend it.

Susan is very passionate about what she does, but I found after 3 weeks straight of analyzing boring poetry that I yearned to move on to something else. The class can be a little tedious at times, but my essay writing improved a lot. She is soooo nice though, and loves what she does. Recommend.

Dr. Bauman picked excellent poems to study! Fair assignments. Didn't really promote class discussion, and class could get very long. Very hard marker. She just says the same old Eng Prof comments, like "work on thesis," or "too descriptive." Her comments need to be more specific.

Dr. Bauman was very knowledgeable about the material. We had great class discussions; loved the detailed course syllabus. I did find I got a bit 'lost' when we rushed things toward the end. I know we were behind because of all of the engrossing class discussion, but the rushing was unorganized and hard to follow. I do recommend her, though.

She's a nice lady, knowledgable and everything...just a slow marker, asks for a LOT of writing, and very hard marker although she gives you a lot of good criticism which helps. However if she got the papers back in time before we have another one due the criticism might have helped in time :P

An absolute sweetheart. Very passionate about what she does, very encouraging. If you go to talk to her, be prepared to stay and chat a while. Very helpful, about anything and everything. Likes to analyse things. Slow marking but has some helpful comments. She loves class discussion. Put in the effort and you'll get a good mark. Recommended.

She is a very good prof. If you pay attention, ask questions, and read the books, then you will do fine. I would totally take another class from her.

Really knew her stuff, and was sympathetic to our work load (5 novels). Interesting; took me awhile to dissect the info. I needed, since lectures were so informative. Susan can be a little unorganized, or scattered, but overall, she's a good egg=). Advice: read all material, be prepared for group discussion, and be unique for essays.

She is very nice and approachable. She makes you feel very comfortable and never puts you on the spot. She's a very very nice lady. She's always there to help you.It's a faily interesting class. She talks fast so write quickly. Pretty easy marker. I suck at writing essays and i got high 60's low 70's on them. Final was pretty easy too.

I got a 77 in this course. It was pretty good. There's a LOT of reading, but it's all interesting. Dr. Bauman is also really understanding and kind if you have personal problems which affect your deadlines. I'd recommend her.

She's a terribly sweet woman, and very approachable. She's not the most generous marker, but she is fair, and I found her criticism of my essays very helpful and constructive.

I have taken several classes with Susan. I had her for 100, then 110, 212 and lately 309, and I have never had a more helpful prof. Promptly responds to e-mails, gives detailed, typed comments on essays, reads drafts and is very understanding when real life interferes with school. Lectures are heavy but interesting, and has group work that's fun

Great!

This was a very boring class for me, although she was a great teacher and was very clear on what she was trying to teach. One thing is that she is very slow at marking essays which sucks. But overall she is a pretty good proff

Susan is a good, though sometimes hard to understand, prof. She is very helpful when it comes to writing papers, and gives clear, detailed comments. She appears kind of muddled when speaking, but is still very passionate about it. Tests are difficult to study for, as they are in-class essays, but she is very fair in marking them.

She means well, and really loves the subject, but rambles. The comments she gives on essays are extremely helpful, it's too bad she doesn't hand them back until nearly the end of term. Reading load is extremely heavy. If you want to improve your writing skills, take the course. She'll mark your essay earlier and email the comments if you talk to he

She has a great knowledge of the subject that she teaches. She is a very nice teacher and gives you a page long of advice when writing your essays. The only thing I did not like about her is she took forever handing back our essays and midterms. She is a very nice teacher and has interesting books/stories that she teaches.

Lectures are boring, but her comments on essays are useful. She marks fairly easy. Her marking style keeps your writing skills sharp, especially if you actually take her comments as serious constructive criticism.

i enjoy her. she's nice and knows a bunch.

What can I say? I enjoyed her class. Very good book and story selections, plus the weekly discussion groups were a lot of fun. The only problem I have with her is her marking...I thought I followed her essay question accurately, and she told me I hadn't. Oh well, still an enjoyable class. I'd take her again.

She is really nice and tries hard but she is quite frustrating. She takes a month to hand anything back, she shows up late to class, and is horrible to listen to.

Dr Baumann is a very sweet, highly intelligent lady. She is very helpful in all of her comments and advice and I feel that her marking is fair. However, her lectures are quite monotonous and dry, and I admit that I've often been jolted awake by her piercing voice. The amount of reading assigned was also ridiculous. Very approachable, however.

She's very friendly and obviously knowledgeable about her subject, though lectures are dry and essentially consist of her reading from her powerpoints. Group discussions are interesting, and the reading material is excellent. Lots of reading assigned, but that wasn't a problem for me.

I am not a poetry fan but she is so interested in it that it made me think so too. She is on the dry side sometimes but she tries. She is a fair marker though she takes a long time to give your assignments back. She was very nice and helpful. Overall a great professor and I would definitely take her class again.

She is very passionate about her work! She tries to keep the class entertained, although her slides can be a bit dry. She gives group work which is fun and productive! Going over the group work takes longer than necessary but if you don't care about attendance you know to just skip those days or bring a laptop. She marks fair and is fairly helpful.

Best grades I have ever received in university were the courses I took with Susan. When you get to know her and her teaching style she is a wonderful prof. Susan is very helpful when you need assistance and is always willing to explain things further to you. She goes over material well. I enjoyed her classes!

She tries to pick interesting pieces. MidtermsExams are pretty straight forward. She does take an extremely long time to hand back assignments. Her voice is also slightly irritating. Learned a lot about grammar (minus the first few weeks) that I was never taught before. Overall one of the better English profs.

Nice professor and willing to help. However, she is a very slow marker so expect a long time before getting marks back.

Although Susan may be a boring prof, you can easily tell that she is very compassionate about her her job and her topics especially in poetry. Very easy marker, everything is clear on the syllabus on what to do. Annoying voice though.

If you are looking for a class that will make you a better essayist, this is it. Her class is not easy, but she knows how to write, and she does attempt to help anyone and everyone in anyway she can. She gives incredibly detailed feedback on your essays, and allows for two rewrites to better your writing. Not for the unsure or meek writer.

I took her for my Shakespeare Tragedies class and she was very passionate about him. She was clear about what she wanted from us in class and in the essays. There were pop quizzes about the plays that we had to read, but they aren't that hard, if you do the reading. Also, if you have a valid reason for missing class (injury) she understands.

Susan gives amazing feedback, usually a page or longer on essays and midterms. She is always available for extra help on grammar assignments and essays; will basically mark the assignments in front of you and tell you how you can make it a stronger essay. She does take a long time to hand things back, but she spends all her time marking or she claims

Susan is a good teacher and very helpful Textbook is not really needed as i took out most of the prints for poems and stories. Attend her class as grammar becomes easy and you have 2 tests based on that. Essay total 3 to submit but you can take help from her before final submission. Liked her.

I really like this professor. She is very helpful outside of class hours, and she is also a very understanding professor. Susan is one of the few professors that actually cares for students. So if you have the option to take a class with her, I would highly recommend this instructor!!

I took English 100 with Susan, and despite what many may say of her she is a wonderful prof. I will admit she isn't the quickest at responding to emails, however she is very approachable in the classroom and was always willing to answer any of my questions. Her grammar assignments are easy marks, and so are the quizzes. I highly recommend this prof

Ms. Bauman is a very dedicated and passionate prof when it comes to teaching English. She is extremely knowledgeable in her area of expertise which is gothic literature in this case. She talks a lot about small details that can't found in the summaries and also goes over a ton of writing tips including grammar. She is a solid prof overall.

Professor Bauman is very nice teacher. She explains everything well. Not a tough grader, but her course material is difficult. Even though, she gives good grades.

I was honestly scared for English 100, but Susan made it not so bad. I see lots of reviews on here saying she’s a tough grader but in all honestly she wasn’t. Everything that I got wrong made sense that I got it wrong. I was happy with the mark I ended with.

She is good

She is a great prof, she takes a long time to mark but in her defence she leaves a ton of critiques and feedback to try and help you. I would rather have this then get marks back with no feedback. she is so sweet/kind and takes time to help her students and go in depth for her lectures. the books were very interesting and she made the class fun!!!!

Her class is very engaging and her criteria is clear, assignments are spaced out within the semester so you never feel overwhelmed, she provides critique on essays before and after you hand them in which is very useful. Her lectures go over readings as well as technical writing principles which help a great deal on the essays. She is very caring.

The best professor you could ever ask for . I would love to take another class . Best of all the professor during my diploma course . Thank you very much for being the part of my English 110.

Best professor for engl100

I am halfway through the course, and believe she is a really good teacher. She does her work with passion, and love. Her grading is alright too( i believe i am bad at it) . I do not regret taking her class, and hope for this until the course ends. Oh, also, beware of spoilers for the stories(read it before she starts it in the class). :|
