Comment:

Dr. Barry sets you up for success. Lectures can be dry, but sit up front to stay awake (to get an easy A). Homework (for us) was given every other class consisting of 15-25 M/C questions based on the his presentations. These are similar/same as his test questions (incl Cumulative Final). 2 Xtra cred questions per test. EC given for good attendance

Works very hard for his students. Great lectures and presentation of course material. Very knowledgeable about the material. Very well spoken. One of the hardest classes I've taken and yet I have nothing but great things to say. This is a testament to the quality of instruction.

Comment:

Professor Barry is a solid choice. We had several quizzes, a midterm, a group project, and a final throughout the year. 50% of your quiz grade is just showing up! Lectures may feel a bit boring at times. Overall solid choice; should be an easy A if you study a little.

This dude is a legend. He'll straight up roast you if you give him sass. However, hes an understanding guy and his wx201 class is easy if you take notes and pay attention. Every prospective student should get an easy A with him.

Easy enough class. All answers to homework are in his lecture notes. Tests are pretty much the same as homework questions. Gives lots of extra credit which is nice. The only con is his lectures can get boring.

Comment:

Professor Barry is a great teacher. WX201 is a very straight forward class, so it's either you get it or you don't. His lectures can get pretty boring at times, but he has a sense of humor and does his best to make class interesting. Tests are based off his homework questions so study those.

Comment:

WX 201 was a fairly straight forward class. This class can be pretty boring at times, but occasionally learning about weather can be pretty interesting. You'll definitely have to study and pay attention, but other than that it should be an easy A.

Amazing professor! Gives extra points if you don't miss more than 2 classes. Obviously, he cares a lot about his students. Would take him again anytime I have the chance. P.S. His in class demonstrations are also excellent. They made the lectures very interesting and fun to sit through.

Simply put, Dr. Barry is a great teacher. He teaches in a very clear manner. Tests are directly from the lecture. Just a great guy, it's obvious that he cares about everybody learning the material and doing well in the course. Take Barry, you won't regret it.

Randell sets you up to pass. You get 2 points onto your final grade (ie you can go from an 88 to a 90) just for having perfect attendance. In addition, every test is curved.

Comment:

Barry is so focused on making sure the students learn. As long as you show serious focus and attempt to put your full effort into the class, most assignments come back with a 100% on them. His tests can be tricky, as they require a lot of attention to the lectures. Lectures can be long but definitely one of the coolest classes I've taken at Riddle.

He is a great caring teacher. Homework assignments are questions straight from the lectures. Not hard at all. Test are okay, nothing special about them. You have one homework assignment every week. Lectures can be long, but just pay attention and study for test and do the homework and you'll get a easy A.

He was one of my first teachers when I transferred in, finding out his hometown wasn't far from mine made things easy. Pay attention in class and reviews. DO NOT get caught texting or using a laptop for other than notes and DO NOT talk while he is, his scary side comes out. Overall he is a great teacher and he knows what hes talking about

If you are thinking about taking Randy Barry, DO IT. He is a committed professor who is incredibly good at explaining topics from multiple aspects. You can tell he loves what he does, and that makes his class legitimately interesting. Do NOT abuse your electronic devices, or he will go nuts! You can use a laptop, but don't get caught texting!

Class material is difficult. But Dr. Barry does talk very clearly and writes excellent notes. Be prepared to write 5 or 6 pages of notes daily.

I am surprised to see so many positive comments. I am not a fan. His class is very boring. I have to teach myself the material off of PowerPoints.
