He's a really easy grader. Lets you redo work for a better grade if you got a C on it. Accepts late work. Allows up to five absences. No tests. Two big papers a semester and a lot of short papers. Must participate in class. There's a socratic circle every week, and you will lead one of them.

Comment:

I absolutely loved this class and this professor. It felt more like a book club with the occasional paper. Every class was basically just one big discussion and everyone had to participate and speak. I'm a huge history nerd and this class was focused around that stuff too. He graded all papers wonderfully and allowed you to make up poor grades.

BEST PROFESSOR AROUND! i absolutely enjoy his class so much i am taking 1220 just because.. You will walk in not knowing anyone in the room and by the end of it the whole class is one big family. Easy class to pass, and he is negotiable with everything. if there is one professor you take at macomb, let it be him! nicest man EVER.

I think he was a great teacher but the way he grades papers is outrageous this man expects you to do A-1 papers and me myself was not that good a writing papers. I think he doesn't like blacks. I never got a low grade on none of my papers but somehow i got a D in his class

Comment:

A lot of class discussions, everyone must talk and lead one. Either 3 1 page essays or one bigger paper a week. Gives out schedules, so pay attention to due dates. Easier grader. Takes late work. Likes creativity and allows you to write about other stories if you don't like the ones he assigns.

Baltman is a sweet old man who is very welcoming. You read a couple books and write papers on them. No testsquizzes! Easy grader and easy class. Classroom is formatted where we sit in a circle every period and have Socratic discussions (topic is given and each student gives their input) He encourages participation but you get comfortable quickly.

Comment:

The best professor at Macomb. He is so kind and very understanding. He doesn't believe in tests. "We're not in elementary school anymore." We read three books and wrote papers on them. That's how we got our grades. Usually only two pages were required- four pages at most. We sat in a circle and had socratic discussions for every class.

He was so sweet and really encouraged class participation, but made everyone feel very comfortable in his class. he was a fair grader and wanted to people to write with emotion. He lets you redo papers if you are not happy with your grade and he does take attendance. You won't regret your class with him. :

He is very friendly, he will help you out if you have a problem that causes your paper to be late, we used the book a lot, but he's an easy grader as long as he can tell you tried. There are many papers to write but he sometimes gives re-write opportunities.

I thought Professor was a fairly easy teacher. Super nice and very considerate. The only thing I wasn't fond of was the Socratics where every class we have to talk in the class. But he's a great professor and an easy A

Mr. Baltman is super sweet and nice. You literally do nothing in this class, and write about 4 papers all semester. Take this class if you want a less stressful schedule because this class does not take much work at all.

Comment:

Such a kind, considerate, respectful, helpful, smart, AMAZING professor. I just wish that all professors could be like him. You can tell that he really cares for his students that "try". I don't believe students who slack off should deserve his kindness but he still gives it even to those. I just wish all professors at mcc could b like him. But. :(
