She's an ok prof but doesn't give great concrete examples at times. It's also extremely hard to pay attention in her class.

Comment:
I couldn't stand this class. The lectures were coma-inducing and the assignments were convoluted and based on archaic programs virtually useless in the modern world. The prof is a Mac fanatic which is annoying as almost everything you'll learn is on a Mac. I found her fairly disorganized and not particularly helpful, though she had good intentions.

Comment:
Yea, you gotta love Barb. She is very down to earth and goes out of her way for people. That said, the course is way too much work. The greatest work load of any class I have ever taken. I learned a lot, but hated doing this course and I thought it was going to swallow me alive.

Not only one the most helpful and and understanding profs I ever had but also one of the most helpful and understanding people in general as well. (I know I sould sound like a loser, but I don't care - she WAS that good)

Comment:
Frankly, Barb's awesome. I knew most of the material going into this class (see the comment below about the student who could teach the class ;) and I still came out learning a ton of new stuff. You have to be willing to work hard, and she is a bit picky when marking, but she's friendly, approachable, reasonable, and knows the course material well.

Comment:
I really liked her attitude towards life. She was happy and easy going, making class a lot easier to relax in. The class was pretty easy itself if you are familiar with computers at all. If you have no sense of humour or you don't like organized and serious profs, then you might not like her. Other than that, most normal people would like her!

Comment:
She stresses formatting and clarity on our work like an English prof but her assignment and project instructions themselves are so vague and scattered that they might as well be written in Ubykh. Her lectures are filled with tired analogies and talks about her life too much in lectures. In fact, one of the students teaches the course better.

Comment:
everytime lecture comes around, it's always a pain to sit through lecture wishing you a had a computer in front of you to try out the things she's showing...guess that's not her fault but it is in a way since it's her job is to make lectures engaging and motivating enough so that you don't need a computer

Comment:
Barb is a great prof in and out of the class. She made the material easy to understand and was always willing to help. As long as you keep on top of the assignments you'll do fine. Assignments may seem a little teadious, but are easy marks. Final exam on the computer was a little tough though.

Comment:
She needs to learn how to use a PC and stop making Macs sound like they're perfect. Can be kind of incompetent with the simplest tasks such as knowing how to hold the Shift key to straight lines. She said she has no degree in CS but in English literature so beware: you will be marked from spelling and grammar.

very nice prof, though she does make the course like an English course. Midterm and final are challenging, but the assignments are really tedious.

A really funny teacher, makes the subject semi-tolerable. Midterms and final are hard, and assignments are tedious but do them and you will be fine.

Comment:
This course was really awful. Don't take it for fun, because chances are you don't know what you're doing already and if you don't it's a tough semester. The notes were cr*p and the lectures were filled with useless analogies.

Comment:
Takes no accountability for the "difficulties" (i.e. technical**** that the students have to put with but shouldn't, like not being able to log into a Unix account) in labs and her "hints" for exams are crap.
