The course design was a disaster and all contents are pretty boring even though he's somewhat generous on grades.

There were 47.5 points for 40% and only 13.5 points for essays taking up 60%, I just lost 2 points in two essays, and I got C+. He only gives 4 or 5 out of 5, and 5 is very difficult. He graded on very subjective terms like you need to write creatively, poetic, sophisticated, and concisely, neither of them was talked about in class.

Enjoyed Andrew's class! His class is fun, and he his not a tough grader. The workload is very manageable.

A nice professor! Very gentle and kind to the international students! I went to his office hour twice and he was very patient and gave me valuable advice! He does want his students to have good grades! Don't hesitate to ask him questions:D

Mr. Baker is a really nice professor and he is a generous grader. He gives very clear grading criteria and he gives useful and specific commend to your essays. Although it is an online course now because of covid, he meets students online each week and provides some useful resources for us to practice speaking.

Baker is a great teacher who cares about students' thoughts and opinions. His grading criteria was very clear. If you made few grammar mistakes and clear thesis, you will definitely get a good score. Remember to get his opinion via email or office hour before hand in your first draft since his grading criteria of first and final draft is the same.
