Great teacher, he knows his stuff. He may seem to come off very mean and tough but if you talk to him after class or during office hours hes very helpful. If you cant study with strictly your study notes and reading dont take this professor.

Dr. Barber, is a very inspirational person. If you come to class and study you will pass his class. Don't forget to take the notes.

Comment:

This class was a lot harder than it needed to be. Tests are hard, even if you take good notes and are always in class. Going to his office does not help, as he makes you feel remedial. When participating in class, any wrong answer you give will turn into him yelling. Hes a nice guy but could teach the course better. Do not take this class!!!

Great guy, straightforward, wants you to learn. Be on time, be attentive, take good notes, and you'll do just fine. Don't use your phone or goof off because he will light you up in front of the whole class. Would take him again in a heartbeat.

So many extra credits, and he will tell you exactly what's going to be on his tests. EXTREMELY RECOMMONDED. He acts tough sometimes, but he is a great teacher. He always encourages students to ask him for help when needed.

Comment:

If you take this class you better be a great note taker. Tests are harsh. Your grade is based on 3 exams and the 4th exam is your final. There is no homework but there is extra credit on test. If you miss a test there will be a make up exam at the end of the semester that consists exams 1-3. Final is all ESSAYS. Memorization is basically your key.

He's an amazing teacher. He has a long experience in teaching, and he knows what he's doing. He's so clear and he's the best athing simplifying complicated topics. You have to study really hard though. He gives away so many extras credits as long as you attend all his classes.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! (Unless you can memorize everything he says and can regurgitate it the exact same way he said.) I answered a question correctly on a test but it wasn't exactly how he said it so he gave me half a point. Only 4 exams to be graded on

Show up for class every day, take good notes, and study for the exams--there should not be any problems. (If you are planning to goof off, you will get smoked.)

he yells a lot, if you dont copy and memorize everything on the board you're screwed. the lectures are v long, marked down for attendance and participation aka if you're the shy type who would rather take notes than joke a lot, you'll have to try a bit harder. no homework, your grade is an average of four exams that are essay, short answer

Comment:

EASY A PEOPLE! If you're an average A student, then this is an easy class. He writes notes on the board and every single detail of his notes comes on the exam so you cant afford to miss class plus he's super strict on attendance. I have NO IDEA how students in my class managed to fail his tests,he would tell us wht exactly will come on his tests

DO NOT TAKE HIM FOR ECONOMICS! It is hard to learn from him and he yells like that's a proper method of teaching! You will have regret going to class and he somewhat picks on students, especially if you don't know the answers to questions. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!

Comment:

Dr. Barber is a great teacher. He is very tough on his students because he genuinely cares about improving his students' comprehension of business. You can not slack off in this class. If you take good notes & listen to him, you will be golden. He gives 0 homework assignments. Your grade is based off of 4 tests. Take him if you're a good student!
