Winter 2016 - Professor Baker could be lecturing about the most incredibly mundane topic and I would still be at the edge of my seat. He is so passionate about this material, making it easy to engage with and master it. He has amazing speaking skills, always delivering his points in a clear and precise way. He organized lecture well and made it really easy to follow the main themes. I genuinely enjoyed going to lecture; his humor and passion made it like going to a performance. I wish Baker was my professor for every class. Would definitely recommend it.
