Comment:

The worst teacher in all my years of education. She does not even deserve the title of teacher. Economics teacher Hogan is a close second. However, it is hard to compete with someone who is this bad. She assigns tremendous amounts of work and barely covers what she assigns. I would rather walk the ledge of a skyscraper than take another class with

She's a very good teacher - but grades HARD. If you only have a mild interest... I'd avoid this one.

Comment:

I couldn't understand half the stuff she was talking about. She would go off on tangents and couldn't seem to explain the material to a 101 class. She's also an unfair grader and has her favorites. Don't take this class if you're shy.

Comment:

Very chaotic! Always running in 5 minutes late with wet hair. I felt that she does not explain the material well at all...you are basically teaching yourself with the massive ammount of homework she assigns.

Barense is fine. You'll learn in her class if you're industrious and want to learn the material - students shouldn't displace their shortcomings onto professors.

She is a great teacher. If you ask her ligitimate questions it makes the class a great deal easier. She does not like it if you waste her time asking irrelevant questions.

Comment:

Exactly!! She can't pay attention for more than a few seconds and forgets what she is teaching in mid-sentence. She definitely takes questions personaly!! She needs to spend more class time teaching rather than going over the homework that you have to fig

Comment:

ms barense is not capable of keeping a train of thought for more than 5 seconds-- this makes her lectures impossible to follow well. she also does not _ever_ answer a question satisfactorily-- she takes them as personal insults.
