Terrible teacher. What she says she is looking for on a test in class is different from what she actually wants. On top of that very tough grader. Find a different teacher.

Comment:

Modern Algebra is an elective course, so I highly recommend choosing a different class. Overall a nice person, but not a good teacher. Never explained things well, and gave and IMPOSSIBLE final. Look elsewhere if possible

Comment:

Worst teacher I have had since 4th grade. She is a math prof teaching computer science so you would think she can teach you some stuff, but she doesn't have much of a strategy. I would try to deter anyone from taking one of her classes!!!

Comment:

So I thought secret codes and privacy FTS would be very interesting, but it was not. Assigns a lot of hw which takes a LOT of time. Subjective grader and in no way did any of us in the class improve in our writing abilities.... and wasn't that the point of all FTS?

Took a little while to get into it, but once the year got rolling, she became a very good prof and actually taught instead of making us teach ourselves. A sweet woman with a good sense of humor.

What a sweet woman! An awesome person and prof--even brings cookies to class! Different teaching style then I was used to, but doesn't take long to get in the swing.

Barbara's a great prof (and an excellent advisor). She'll make you work for it but you'll learn a ton.

Always willing to help outside of class, even at 9pm. Spent more time outside of class making sure I knew what I was doing than any other prof. You'll work hard, but she wants everyone to learn.

I'd give her a 10 for helpfulness if I could. Occasionally gets flustered in class, but is extremely willing to give help outside of class if asked for it. Ãœber-nice and friendly.

She is an absolute angel, so nice and easy to talk to. The material was hard but she tries her hardest so that everyone is on the same page and understands it all. Overall she is just a great person!

Shes fun in class! But, her text book is VERY hard to understand!! It doesn't really say WHY things work, or HOW. It gives weird analogies that are hard to follow.

Comment:

I've heard great things for Computer Science and such, but for Symmetry she was slower than some of the class. In fact, she breaks the myth that you should know something about the subject, before teaching it.

One of the nicest people, let alone prof, I've ever met. Very very clear and easy to listen to. She seems like a peer. Tests and homework are fair.
