Had Barker for PLS 410 & CRJ 423 (Gangs). He was great. Both very easy classes. He is very knowledgeable in everything he teaches, and writes his own textbooks. Great professor and great dude. Really enjoyable classes!!

Comment:

By far the best teacher I have ever had. He is a wealth of knowledge on law enforcement and makes even the most boring subject interesting. If you comment that his class is hard you must be braindead. If you go to class and pay attention, you will do very well. Wish he taught graduate classes!

Very realistic person and down to earth. Also is very knowledgable about the practical side of the Police and their studies. Very nice person and he makes the class easy to learn and take test. I would definitely recommend this guy.

Comment:

Maybe it was the subject matter (biker gangs), but I really liked this class. My hand still hurts from all the notes, but in the end he decided not to give a test. Most of the videos killed me (and there were a lot of them), but Dr. Barker's comments during them made me wake up occasionally. Entire grade was based on a book review and attendance.
