    LING3B . Baker A D 2 Months Ago

    Most of the students in the class can get A (even missed a homework and got a F). Even I got most B on my essay drafts and midterm and final, I still got an A overall. But he did not let others know his grading criteria, and every grade is 0/0 with a letter grade.

    LING3B . Baker A D 2 Years Ago

    There were only about 120 points in total, so every point is equally important. I just need to make up two more one-point homework for an A (he did not allow make-up). He graded essays and writings based on grammar rather than ideas (he even pointed out 7 places where I should place more commas). It is still an easy class

    Nice professor. He will give each of you advice for essays and grade homework fairly. In class, he is humorous and patient. If you have any questions about class materials or essay, just ask.
