Comment:
She is a nice, clear, and overall a friendly professor. Her class, however, is very poorly managed by undergrad TAs. Assignments are graded inconsistently, and some TAs know what they're doing while some don't. Exams and Case Studies were also poorly designed, and needed clarification. Good and clear teacher, but class is terribly managed.

Not an easy professor but definitely brilliant. Her lectures are clear but can get a little dry. Class participation is key. She really notices students who show an interest in the subject, either through class participation or by making appointments with her (she doesn't hold office hours). Attend class office hours and you should be okay.

Professor Baeumner is not an easy professor, but she is a good one. The material is interesting and not difficult, and she presents it clearly. However, the amount of work is definitely more than 3 credits' worth. The assignments must be done in a very particular way, and the grading can be harsh. If you work hard, though, you can do well.

Comment:
She's fairly clear as a teacher, but her class is extremely frustrating. Assignments have extremely strict grading + she has her own way of doing things, and you HAVE to do things 'her way.' Workload (4 big projects + 3 major exams + several problem sets) also make this class much more demanding than it has to be.If you can try to take 2510 instead

One of the least skilled Prof I had in my college life. A waste of time to take her course. Just check-out a book from the library and read it.

Great to get to know in person. There's no textbook, just her notes, so it's kinda hard to study and really have a deep understanding of the material. But her exams are pretty straightforward and reflective of the examples in the notes. Grading is really strict though. But def go to office hours, and you'll get an A.

A lot of time spent in office hours, but probably the best class I've taken at Cornell thus far. Actually felt like I learned something.

Comment:
2600 is awful, just get through it. 4590 though, is AMAZING. I can't recommend it enough for BEEs. Baeumner is at the top of the biosensors field and it's an extremely rewarding class. She's strict and the course is (very) hard but 100% worth the effort.

There are many office hours for this class, which was helpful for completing homework and case studies. The midterm and final were very hard, most of the time the actual questions do not resemble questions asked on the assignments. Lecture is mostly spent mindlessly copying down notes. I only took this course to gain background for BEE3600.

Comment:
Most lectures have nothing to do with hw or tests. hw deals only w mathematical eq. which arent hard, but she doesnt provide any derivations or explanations, rendering the work useless. She makes too many grammatical errors and typos & is overall very unclear in her problem statements, making it hard to understand what it is she wants us to solve.

Comment:
1) no textbook: okay job in teaching but mostly feeds you with a whole bunch of differential equations. class time can be better used otherwise and textbook would do this easily. And secondly, it is just so boring! after all, copying the slids down isn't very interesting. And grading VERY picky. would be much better with a textbook and less diff eq

Not the greatest lecturer, but really helpful and pleasant if you catch her out of class. Her class gives a good overview of BEE, resonable tests, and pretty good overall. I can see how some people didn't like her class, but I thought she was pretty good.

Not as bad as previous posts say. She's an expert in her field (just run a literature search on biosensors) but not the best teacher. She tends to feed students equations, just copy your notes on the open notebook test. She is nice, but some of the case studies were unresonable...she assigned a group research paper before thanksgiving.

Terrible professor. Not only was she poor at explaining things in lecture, but her exams were way too long, there was no textbook so you have to go to class, and the case studies are just terrible. Totally unreasonable when it comes to grading the case studies as well.

Comment:
Grading was a huge problem. I would get a lot of points off for certain things my friends would get none off for, but that was really a TA problem. The workload for the semester was horrendously distributed, as we had a huge research project over break that could not be done without being at school. Interesting material, but not a great course.

Wow, she's mean and intimidating and boring. Is this what the BEE department wants teaching a opening-welcome-to-the-BEE-department intro class? Geez. I've had enough. Auf weidersehn!

Quite a boring and annoying prof! Killed any interest that I may have had in engineering by a rigid, top-down, teaching methodology. Every week, I suffered for many hours with the HW, only to come into office hours to be told by one of the TAs that "this is what she wants to see for that question." Avoid if possible.

Great prof - gives excellent notes and knows the material well. She can be intimidating, but her class was very interesting... wish I took it in a year when the lab component was also offered. I learned a lot.
