Very humorous person and an easy grader but is heavy lecturer. Quizzes and assignments very simple but tests need a good amount of effort put in.

Comment:

Tutoring is the only reason why this class made any sense. If you attend tutoring, she will give you extra credit at the end of the class. She spoke so fast that I had trouble comprehending the material. Did not even know what to write down in my notes. Exams are very hard. But she is a very nice lady.

Horrible at lectures... rants on and on about random things. Only 3 exams all semester which are extremely hard. She never takes attendance either and all notes are online but her notes never even help to what is on the exams.

Dr. Barney is a fantastic professor and her class was always enjoyable. However, we only had two exams the whole semester and weren't graded on much else so if you didn't do well on those exams your grade was basically done for. If you can operate well in a high-stress testing environment and be comfortable coasting the rest of the time go for it.

History isn't for everyone. She gets off topic a lot, but shes very funny. Personally, i hate when the class is all lecture. Despite her being off topic she goes over what she needs to go over. Her tests are based on everything she has taught. Textbook isnt necessary unless you really like to study from it, personally tutoring did the trick every.

If you go to tutoring sessions she will give you a bonus point for each time you go! If you don't like history that much and want to get a gen ed out of the way this is a good option. She is hilarious. Just be prepared for her to get off topic a lot. She only gives three tests all year.

Comment:

She's a hilarious person. She definitely knows what she's talking about, but like someone else said, without much history background you will be lost in an instant if you don't pay attention. Even paying attention, most lectures are hard to understand. There are only three tests, however, they are difficult and could ruin your chances of doing well

Comment:

She is a very funny woman, always makes her conversations interesting, although very hard to get clear understandings of what she is saying when you aren't good with history, or have much or no background information about history. Test are hard, but she is very easy to pass this class with an average grade. She will be willing to help you!

Comment:

I could not get into this class at all. She is a really nice lady, but she just talks and talks like she doesnt even breath. I really just couldn't focus do to the huge lack of interest. Although I hear she is the easiest and most understood history professor so I do recommendoing her.

She made the lectures more interesting than most of my other classes, and she was funny. she would randomly give some extra credit which was nice and so were the study guides for all her tests.

Dr. Barney is such a funny woman! Her tests are difficult and you better be a darn good guesser and make sure you know every place on the map. On her tests every answer choice is like is it A&B B&C or all of the above. Always threw me off! Also for this class, when you have an essay reading, read it carefully and know it well!

I love Dr. Barney! I take her every opportunity I can. She definitely plays favorites, but luckily she likes me. You definitely have to participate and show up for class. I've had her for Global 2 and History of Sex in AmericaI highly recommend that second class! Best class I ever took. She's hilarious and really cares about her students.

Comment:

Dr Barney is a super nice lady, as long as you're a history major. I had her as my adviser for my first year and after I told her I was switching majors she went from the most helpful and caring woman to "Yeah, I can't help you". Her class isn't too awful. She doesn't post PowerPoint slides so make sure you write EVERYTHING down.

Great professor but hard class. at least it was hard for me. thats because history is a hard subject for me but i did get a B. you need to go to class takes notes are what she says, and learn the terms shes uses in class that will help with the test. another than that i there isn't anything else you can do besides try.

Barney is a great professor I've learned more about history in her class than I did in four years of high school. However, you have to take really good notes and study a lot if you expect to get a good grade on any of the exams.
