Comment:

He is the worst English teacher I have ever had. No matter how hard you try he will find an error and shove it back in your face most likely loudly in front of the entire class. He is smart but it does not stops him from being and A$$...

Comment:

Don't take his class. His instructions are terriblly vague, he is not smart, and is very close-minded. He once gave the class an assignment to "show clearly how you have revised your paper", everybody did what he said but he would only accept ONE paper out of 30 because the rest of us were wrong in formatting.

Comment:

He's so awful and unreasonable. In all honesty he is smart, but hes an a** and should never be allowed to teach a class. He says one thing one day and changes it the next and then yells at you for contradicting him, ugh, hes just unbearable. But yes its possible to get an A, but for some it can be difficult and for all the wrong reasons. AVOID!!!!

Comment:

This man is senile and rude. He puts down everyone's ideas for silly reasons. The man is deaf and when he misshears you he calls YOU out in front of the class and will yell at you for something you didn't even say. He wears his pajama pants to school with dress shirts. Don't take his class or you'll regret it. He is one of the worst teachers ever.

Comment:

I pray that you get this before add/drop week is over. Get out now. The man humiliates everyone in front of the whole class. If you ever come late, expect to be chewed out for a good five minutes. I had a meeting with him to get help on a paper. He cancelled it because my paper wasnt good enough. My advice: run...

Comment:

this guy just makes all of his students feel stupid. be prepared to get a sarcastic or belitting answer to your question, and be prepared to be shot down on all the ideas you present. He does take attendance, and expects you to sit in the front of the class, and will make you get up and move to the front if you don't.don't come late to class eithe

This guy is not hard... but he is not good either... He does belittle everyone and thinks that he is the end all be all of everything.. would prob make a good drama teacher as that is what he mostly talks about. I doubt that he knows much if anything about english it self. I would avoid him at costs!!!!

Comment:

He is undoubtedly the worst professor I have ever had. He doesn't teach, makes up assignments on the fly and belittles you if you decide to ask a question. I tell anyone I meet taking the class not to take Barr and if they get him to get out of the class.

Comment:

Do not take this class! I'm warning you! He tells us how to correct our rough drafts to make it "good" for the final paper. However, when it is time to turn in the final draft, he says the whole thing is wrong and does not give you anything higher than a "B". I got a B+ in the class. Only suck-ups get "A's". ITS NOT WORTH THE EEFFORT!!

Comment:

I think this professors perverse determination to humiliate students is a tool to distract from his cursory knowledge of how to teach and his questionable command of the english language. While I managed ok grades with this guy, the effort it took to squeeze what little he had to offer was not worth the hassle.

This teacher was a jerk! I would not reccomend him to anyone, i was extremely interested in english, i really do love writing so I was excited... my dog was put to sleep so I missed a few classes and he said he was going to fail me!! If you miss a class he will fail you! If you can take anyone else,
