Comment:
teaches many computer courses very well, clearly, intelligently. He sincerely cares for students and will help them succeed in earnest. Will give bad grades, very understanding and will allow/wants repeats on homework. Teaches with the book and slides, active class participation but not the bad kind. hard/detailed tests but good study sheets.

Comment:
Baas does a good job of teaching difficult subjects. He's a really nice guy--always available to help students. If you're having trouble, go talk to him. He's also very smart, and almost always knows the right answer. He works hard to make everyone succeed in what would otherwise be very difficult subject matter.

Comment:
Great professor and friend! He really cares for his students. Sometimes his teaching is fairly abstract, but if you focus and really want to learn it you will. If you ever have questions go ask him and he always knows the answer...it is pretty much amazing as is he!

Comment:
Dr. Baas is a good teacher. He is very accessible and understanding if you are having problems with an assignment. Often has quizzes in which he lets you check with your answers classmates before he grades them. My only complaint is how much he depends on the text book.

Baas is one of the best teachers not only at the school, but in most any CS major. Complaints of difficulty or confusion are hardly fair, considering he teaches very advanced classes. Highly recommend him.

This guy is the only reason LU turns out competent CS majors. Knows his stuff, can communicate it, and doesn't get caught up in the standard Ph.D snobfest. If you want to learn, Dr. Baas will ensure that you do.

He is not helpful at all, I had to set up 3 meetings with him before he finally showed up to it, and he was busy with his programming team while he was talking with me.

He really knows the material, although he sometimes doesn't prepare enough for class. His assignments are usually pretty interesting. Definitely take Data Structures from him. You will learn a lot.

Comment:
Can't teach. Confusing. Doesn't consider the difficulty of assignments when giving them. Once gave a programming assignment the last day of class due the week of finals. Will help you outside of class, but doesn't make much of a difference if struggling.
