  Funny and entertaining guy, but when it comes to the actual content he teaches in lecture, he was all over the place. I talked to many other people in the class, and almost everyone had no idea what was going on and had to find material elsewhere to teach themselves the content.

  Personally, not for me. He was funny and a nice guy, so I have nothing against him personally. As a professor, however, I found him a bit unorganized. He gives a notes outline to fill out; however, I found his slides would often jump around, making it hard to follow. Grading was also left until the last minute.

  Baker never answered emails and would provide important information very late.. or not at all. There was a project worth 20% of my grade and he provided no rubric to complete it. He doesn't keep his TAs in check and slacks on posting homework and exams. Expect to be cold called in class. Easy exams and homework's which makes up for bad lecturing.

  Was a decent professor but never answers emails. Pretty sure he just doesn't care and doesn't check. And attendance is mandatory even for recitation.

  Never responds email. Unhelpful recitation by a TA. A lot of recitation paper to solve and homework online separately for only 3 credits hours. Online textbook sucks and does not allow round error. Never tell you recitation grade till the end of semester. Just avoid it. Definitely okay for DA students not to take it to pre-study stat and prob.
