The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Good grades are achievable, but students repeatedly say there are no freebies and success requires reading, attendance, and steady work.
Online and in-person evidence both show effort-for-reward grading, with in-person reviews giving much stronger detail about the workload.
Is the course easy?
The course content is challenging because legal research requires heavy reading, IRAC work, quizzes, and professional-level preparation.
The online review highlights clear expectations, while in-person reviews more strongly describe the subject matter and workload as challenging.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is effectively mandatory because participation matters and missed classes can mean missed quizzes and falling behind.
Both formats mention strict attendance or weekly presence, with in-person reviews especially warning students not to miss class.
Is this professor recommended?
Students strongly recommend Baker because she teaches deeply, cares intensely, and helps motivated students master difficult material.
Online evidence is positive but limited, while in-person evidence overwhelmingly supports a must-take recommendation.
