Comment:

Im only writing this because calculus is a pointless subject in my field and I took it ONLINE in the summer so I could pass it more easily!(wink wink) Yup thats not the case, tests are split into 2 parts. Written (35pt) and Multiple choice (65pt), plus with a zoom call during the lockdown browser tests. TAKE SOMEONE ELSE IF YOU NEED EASY CREDIT

Teacher is terrible, its an online class and she teaches nothing, no problem with this however she just seems to always make it harder and harder for no reason the assignments arent hard just tedious to complete. 2020 and she has us writing on paper and scanning documents. I wonder how UNT Employed her

Comment:

This professor is very rigid. I work very hard and I am usually an A student. This semester many of us students have had to work to adapt to the many changes due to the pandemic. However, she has failed to understand the extraordinary situation many of us have had to adjust to. Avoid this professor.

Barber's teaching style is great. her lecture notes really provide all the information you need to pass the class. I made an A through the semester without the use of a textbook. She definitely has more personality than some of the other teachers at UNT.

Comment:

She was the worst at teaching. I get simple mistakes here and there but I was everyday! Then she would mess up on a problem teach us all the way through the long problem then at the end thats not the right answer, tell us the correct answer but WOULDNT show us the correct way to get to the answer. IF YOU CAN DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. E V E R

Comment:

The extra credit is a lie! She straight up lies to the class when offering extra credit, none of the "extra credit" earned actually gets added or computed into your grade. I emailed her about and she said "it gets added to my spreadsheet" and canvas won't allow her to adjust grades. Another lie because my exam grade was lowered in canvas

Comment:

I wouldn't be surprised if she is a career professor (someone who has never worked beyond the educational system). I say this because she is merciless. You will be expected to complete about 50+ homework assignments (no joke) and it'll only be worth about 10% of your grade. If you work and/or have a family, I would steer away from this mean lady.

Classwork due 4-5 days a week. The assignments are very heavy, 25 problems +, 5 major exams & only given 1 day during the week to take it with lockdown browser and webcam. Definitely study the reviews, it helps a ton. Some modules are easier than others but still keeps you very busy. Be prepared to work or you will not pass.

Comment:

Took the online Summer 10-Week course, however, this professor crammed it into 8-weeks! Mounds of daily work, weekly quizzes, tedious weekly written assignments (you MUST print then upload), inconsistent lectures (simple problems), and exam every other week (DIFFICULT problems, and material not covered). This a VERY difficult professor!

Wasn't terrible, gives extra credit if you actually attend class. Doesn't keep track of attendance after the first few weeks.

Comment:

I found this professor to be too impatient and she took too long grading. The material we went over was inconsistent and never in order making it harder to know what material needed to be studied and the professor was hardly available when you had questions. The course was online and I will definitely take online classes again just not hers.

Comment:

I took this course online and was not a fan. The units were so inconsistent and were either incredibly difficult or really simple. When there were technical issues with Pearson, she would first blame us and THEN look into if there was something wrong. I would not take this professor again.

She is an amazing teacher. I'm terrible at math but she made all topics extremely easy to understand and she was very accessible. Her reviews cover all test topics, so do the review!! I highly recommend taking her for any math course she offers.

Comment:

This professor was alright. It was a difficult class and there is a LOT of homework, but there almost has to be since it was a lot of information in a 5 week course. The units would range from laughably easy to incredibly difficult. However she was always very prompt in replying to questions, and she dropped low hw grades at the end of the unit.

online class, she makes you print out papers then scan them back in. So if you dont have a printer then drive to staples print it out, do the paper then have it scanned as a pdf to turn it in, if its not a pdf it doesnt count. All of the work is on Pearson so she doesnt really do anything but be strict on what she actually grades.

Shes rude and talks down to you, she goes out of her way to make you feel 10inches tall. Better have tough skin because it appears that she enjoys making her students cry

This class can be difficult, but if you do the assignments you will pass. I found her to be helpful and prompt, and I enjoyed her teaching style. I highly recommend printing the notes she provides, and doing your homework in advance as it can be time consuming.

Comment:

I took online math 1580. This class is essentially you teaching yourself math. Ms Barber is intentionally vague and generally unhelpful. You will have roughly 4 assignments a week separate from the group discussions and written assignments. She's not usually available for questions and when she is she speaks in parables.

I'm not a math person at all but Ms. Barber made it bearable. She's a great woman, super nice, and very willing to help. There's a lot of note taking and homework, always remember to print your notes! I would recommend (if your not in one of the fields specified by this course) to take something easier. This class is challenging.

I took this same class at TTU and didn't do as well as planned but knew i could do better so I decided to take it online at a CC and turns out theres more content online than at a state institution!?? Also, I had to go to a funeral and missed an exam, she wouldn't let me make it up because I didn't inform her in time? She needs to be reevaluated.
