Comment:
I took his religion class because it was the only thing that fit in my schedule and I was dreading it! But turned out to be my favourite class I've ever taken at UoG! Very interesting lectures, my attendance usually sucks but I rarely missed his class cause I actually enjoined them!

DO. NOT. TAKE. HIS. CLASSES. Egomaniac, ridiculous tests, about as clear as mud. He's gone off the deep end. Useless human being.

Comment:
Bakker's the smartest guy on campus. The problem is, he seems to be too smart to teach the basics. This course was a deluge of information, and the tests *ate* people. He's a really nice guy, though, and he seems willing to help anyone who gives a crap.

Really boring class, but not really his fault- the content is just so dry it would be hard to make it fun....extremely easy midterms and exams- he's really good with telling you what will be on them and sticks to it.

Comment:
Course: Contemporary theory: Letures were occasionally interesting but overall quite dull. His lectures on semniotics were quite confusing as he attempts to employ formulas to describe sociological terms. The midterm was very difficult (low class average). I did not enjoy this prof.

Hans Bakker is a very educated man... He knows whats hes talking about... and rarley uses notes in front of him because he really doesnt need to... making the class a much greater experince,... he is very willing to help.. and responds back to emails whenever he can.(so i dont know what people are talking about when they say he doesnt)

Excellent Professor!!! Very easy, and ensures you obtain a good mark. M/C somewhat strange, yet if you get his humor you will be fine! He is very intelligent, and enjoys sharing his knowledge with others! Tons of fun to have a beer with! Greatest Professor I've had all of my 4 years!

Comment:
Avoid this "prof" at all costs! Unclear and unwilling to allow people to take helpful notes in class, refuses to make them available in other means. Very unreceptive to questions/troubles with material in class. My favourite comment of the semester: "Please don't contact me." - extremely helpful.

Comment:
Hes a laid-back all around good guy who will definitely give you a hand if your willing to ask for help. Hes a pretty easy marker and will reward you just for trying but his multiple choice questions are all over the place. Hes smart, I like the guy but he explains things in the most complicated way possible, needs to stick with plain english.

Comment:
Worst Prof I've ever had! He was extremely abstract in his lectures, didn't show for his office hours, refused to answer emails.. His lectures were extremely boring and did not follow the course outline. He often became exasperated by students asking questions and continuouslly referred us to the TA's (who were often just as lost as we were!).

Seems really nice in lecture, but one-on-one... watch out! Not very helpful, and really couldn't seem to care less about students. Evaluations were fair enough, I guess, with LOTS of choices (ie.. no final). Study your lecture notes!

A really nice man who's absentmindedness is somewhat endearing. He could afford to be more (at all!) technology-friendly with emails and such, and his lectures can be boring. But he genuinely wants to teach and get you a good mark!

He is flakey,absent minded (We had to remind him of schedualed midterms) and loves telling boring personal stories. Doesnt encourage questions in class and reads off overheads. Also doesnt believe in WEB CT and tells students that he wont respond to emails. He just doesnt GET it.

Comment:
I've never had a prof that was soo self centred. He's the epitomy of the absent minded professor (not in a good, or humorous way). Instead of explaining things he confused himself and the class.

Prof. Bakker is an excellent teacher, and despite the fact that he teaches fairly dull information, he makes the best of it, by throwing in some humor every now and then. Good job, Bakker, you're not a doofus..you're a kind, helpful, and caring man, and i really respect you as a prof. Keep it up!
