Comment:

Barry is a cool guy, but doesn't know what he's doing. I feel bad giving him such a bad review, but he doesn't know what he's doing, and isn't very helpful when you have a question. I'm not saying he should be fired, I just think that he needs to review the course curriculum, and get some plans for each class. Actually knowing the programs would he

The other profs call him "The Nutty Professor" for a reason. Cool guy, great person, but not a great teacher.

Comment:

He knows a lot of stuff, and yes, he does ramble on and on about his studio. The problem is he is not an effective teacher and doesn't know hwo to teach period. Plus, I think he needs a long break from teaching. He has too many issues to deal with.

Comment:

teach us the stuff that you are getting paid to teach. you are not getting paid to tell us about ur studio at home, or anything else. Stick to the lesson and dont wander off into never never land. Please otherwise everyone will fail this course just like most students did in the pre-media course.

Comment:

McVicker knows his stuff. He just doesn't know how to teach. I knew this stuff before I went into the class, but I left it more confused. It's best just to book a studio and learn it yourself. Barry rants alot and rarely actually teaches students anything. He's still teaching because he's union

Comment:

learned pretty much nothing in his class. Passed with flying colors thanks to his "bell curve" marking which is only done so that the school does not realize that all his students would fail because he cannot teach at all. Needs to adjust to current times and pretty much quit as a teacher

a nice teacher..very knowledgeable!! Could be a little more focused on audio instead of his personal live, but it's still entertaining. He is good to give extensions when people don't understand assignments, which is nice.

Comment:

My first semester notes really helped me out around my own studio. But he never liked Pro Tools. I guess that's why he makes 'the big bucks'. He also said he'd sell me a mini moog, what happened.
