BAKER A D
The course design was a disaster and all contents are pretty boring even though he's somewhat generous on grades.
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.
He's mean, broing.
too much homework, tough grader
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.
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
