Comment:
Professor Bauer is an amazing professor. The lectures and content are interesting and engaging. There are several reading reports that can get pretty long and require a good amount of reading. If you put in the work you will get a good grade. Mandatory attendance but we usually only had class once a week.

Comment:
I never paid attention in lectures so as long as you do well on the responses/writing assignments, your grade will be fine. No exams but there is also one 5 minute presentation at the end of the semester. She definitely doesn't grade the writing easy but if you are a decent writer and put in effort you can definitely get an A.

Great professor. Attendance is important, but not mandatory, but can help boost grade at end of semester. 5 short papers and 1 presentation and paper. Is not necessary to read assigned books, but having a general overview will help a lot.

Comment:
Incredibly helpful with tons of personal experience. You should buy and read the books, but you can get by without reading. Much of the grade comes from class discussion so attendance is mandatory and not reading means you may as well skip. Nice, polite professor but can be condescending at times. However, she does value her students' opinions.

Great professor who cares about her students. Topics can be a little dry but she does her best to get the class involved. Group project is easy as long as you meet up with your group. Easy to get a B but much more effort is required to get an A

Comment:
Dr. Bauer is very passionate about what she teaches. Includes a couple of papers and large group presentation, but with her help it is not too bad. Also, put in the effort for the article summaries and will do fine. Make sure to participate. Dr. Bauer was always available to assist and she was always very pleasant.

Dr. Bauer is an amazing professor. She's very passionate about her work and helps her students a lot. Most of her assignments consists of 2 page papers with a final project at the end of the semester. Her final exam optional. I definitely recommend this class. It's hard to get an A, but easy to get a B.

Awesome professor! Lectures were very interesting and she puts a ton of links to articles relating to the each weeks material on the online syllabus. Grade is based mostly on numerous short writing assignments (longest was 5 pages). Gave a take home final with just a couple essay questions. Not too hard to get a A. Highly recommended professor.

Not an easy A. I still refer to stuff I learned in this class! She is not the warmest prof, but she does care about students. She will call u out if you don't know what you're talking about. She tends to pick favorites, so try to get on her good side!
