Professor Baker is an awesome instructor who genuinely cares about his students growth, both as poets and individuals. In class, you’ll usually go over readings, share thoughts, and create writing material that'll help with your workshop poems. Every few weeks, you get a week off to focus on your workshop poem and have a one-on-one conference with him. The course also includes writing four essays that analyze works by other writers/poets, which really helps you see and understand different concepts of poetry. For the final, you just put together a portfolio of the poems you’ve written throughout the semester, along with a letter explaining your revision process. I've grown so much as a poet and gained confidence in my voice, especially from sharing my poems in workshops with the class and hearing their feedback. I've seen my classmates grow too, which says a lot about Professor Baker’s dedication. If I had the chance to take another class with him, I absolutely would!

Mr. Baker is an incredibly caring and supportive professor. He's super laid back and makes ENG101 as enjoyable as it can be. I've heard that other professors can be really tough graders, but Mr. Baker definitely isn't. As long as you turn in your work and generally follow the rubric, he'll give you a 100%. He'll also work with you if you need extensions and is very understanding. Definitely take him for ENGL101, he's the GOAT.

I took ENGL271 on a whim just for an easy credit but he made me actually like the course a lot! I'm by no means a poet/writer, but he really emphasized how writing is completely for yourself and really gave me a lot of confidence in the class. He also gave helpful feedback and really listened to his students. None of the readings are required but they're honestly pretty fun to look at. Overall, highly recommend. He's a super chill guy and fun to talk to!

I'm a horrible writer and absolutely hate English but TRUST ME... Professor Baker is the best. Really really easy grader (you will get an A as long as you do the work and follow the rubric). Super chill guy and sometimes he even brought us coffee. Really understanding person who genuinely wants everyone to succeed. Would highly recommend him over any other ENGL101 professor. I've heard the other ones aren't great but Professor Baker is the GOAT

Great TA, like actually the best. He's so chill and helped us a lot when we had a pop quiz or assignment he knew we didn't want to do. Really easy grader if you follow the rubric to assignments, HIGHLY reccomend. (He also always brought us coffee to discussion)

Most chill guy I have ever met and is willing to meet the amount of energy you are willing to put into the class. If you are taking it for a Gen ed, he will basically ask for your class time, and if you are actually looking to improve your writing, you will make great strides

Really chill and relaxed professor who knows how to light conversations about the material and subject when everyone is drained of energy. He has essentially unlimited information for people who are looking to improve their writing and fiction. If poetry and writing is your thing, then you should definitely take this class. If it isn't, you should give it a try, because he is very accommodating to the skeptics/those without the same energy.
