Half-baked means foolish; stupid.
It is an informal way to say that someone is lacking in judgment, intelligence, or common sense.
Or it is another way to say that someone is mediocre.

Examples:
“In medical education, you can’t sacrifice quality for quantity. You can’t have a half-baked doctor going into the society to treat people.”

an education supervised by a mediocre or a half-baked teacher will surely produce an individual of low standard which will in turn make the society susceptible to danger.
