Comment:

Dr. Barrows is welcoming and accepts different points of views, her lectures invite discussion among students. The work is simple as long as you listen and take notes, however be prepared to do double the work, because everything is single space typed. The 8 page (16 page double spaced) portfolio is a major headache, not too complicated though.

Comment:

This class changed my life! Dr. Barrows is funny and puts a positive spin on a lot of depressing topics. She's able to talk about controversial issues without diving too deep into her own personal beliefs. 3 test's that can be tricky, but simple if you understand the topic. Lots of chances to make up points with Critical Thinking Q's & extra credit

Comment:

Best professor I have ever had! Her lectures are so informative and amazing, and she is so passionate about the world. Show up to class, write down what she says, don't write her lectures word for word, and ask for help if you need it because she is extremely helpful and caring. Usually 3-4 tests, a final, and maybe a paper (depends on the class)

Comment:

She's funny and smart but she doesn't post her lectures online and they're super long, filled w/ information and tedious. She's likable but only talks about all the terrible things that is going on in the world. Some of the things she talks about I look up on my own and find out they weren't that bad like she said. super hard tests.

Comment:

Have had about 10 classes with her, due to my major being env. studies. From ENV101 to the more obscure classes like Environmental Hazards. By far the most passionate teacher I've met in my field. Her passion for Planet Earth will leave a mark on you. Not for the faint of heart. Most classes have to do with Earth's destruction, as well as man's.

Probably one of my favorite professors I've ever had the pleasure of taking. Her lectures are super interesting and her class is pretty much an easy A. I learned so much from all the classes I took with her and I am now actually considering switching majors because of her and her classes. Take her, you won't regret it!!!

Professor Barrow's tests are based off of the lectures which she does not post. It is very easy to follow along and do great in the class as long as you show up and take notes. She is a very sweet lady and you could tell how passionate she is.

Never had a professor like her but shes honesty the best. Very passionate about the environment. Her class is easy I did meh on the midterms and didnt even showed up to the finals and got a B because she offers a lot of extra credit. I really enjoyed her class and you dont really need the book. There is hw due every 2 weeks but its really easy.

Hands down one of the best professor's I've ever had. I was not excited to take this class because I thought it was going to be very political. Prof Barrow's does an amazing job at not pushing her opinions on the class, instead, she gives pros and cons every issue discussed. SHE'S AMAZING!! I learned SO much in this class and it made me more aware

She is very professional! It is kind rare to find professor nowadays, in my opinion. She is caring, fair, cute, super smart, and strong. She is a inspiring person. Tests are not too easy, but we are here to learn, so make sure take notes of her amazing lectures and study, you will be just fine.

GREAT teacher! Took this class because it was required, it is now the end of the semester and I am so glad I took it. There are 3 tests, 1 project and 8 one page paper assignments. They're super causal and based on your personal opinion. Very passionate about what she teaches. Tests are easy, I never studied and got high B's on all! Def reccomend!

Comment:

Barrows and Richard's class, in my opinion, is the best science class you can take for your lab science course. They provide interesting, detailed lectures and labs on various topics. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you show up to every lecture you are rewarded. They are by far some of the best professors I have taken at Saddleback.

Her and Professor Richards were great. Take if you need to get your science out of the way. Doesn't take attendance just has you sign in, but most of the test questions come from lab and lectures.

Comment:

I only took ecology to fulfill GE requirements, but I enjoyed the class. Her material is easy to understand, but her tests are really hard. She has a total of five tests and I got 2 Cs, 1 D, and two Bs on them. The only reason why I passed the class with an A was because I did all Richard's labs and the extra credit. Not easy, but doable.

Mrs. Barrows is a wonderful lady, she truly cares about her students and is straightforward about what will be on her exams. Use her study guides!! This course isn't too bad as long as you're diligent about studying.

If you attend class, you will do well on her tests. However, you can do poorly on the tests and still get an A in the class as long as you do well on the lab reports and do the extra credit.

Comment:

Dr. Barrows is a super nice and funny woman. Lectures aren't bad & Hw assignments are 1pg response papers that you could answer in a paragraph. What really got me however is that every single paper you write for her has to be single spaced so I found myself "fluffing" the papers alot to fill out the space. Huge 8pg single spaced paper in the end.
