Comment:

Chemistry is definitely one of the hardest classes i've ever taken. If you want to pass the class spend at least three hours of study time in the SCR room doing problems from the pink book you are given for the course and book problem's. Barry has a unique way of lecturing - he really breaks down information to where it makes sense.

Comment:

I really felt like the professor cared that we understood the material. He was very clear about due dates and gave us plenty of study materials. I failed chemistry in high school, and honestly though I had no ability in math or science, so I was expecting to hopefully get a C if I worked really hard, but he made the class so clear and interesting!

Comment:

Dr. Herron is the best teacher/professor I have ever had in my life. I had taken chemistry once before, but struggled and eventually dropped the class. Barry for me was the key to excelling in chemistry. He is extremely coherent, cares about his students and is extremely thorough in his lectures to make sure everyone understands. Best teacher ever!

Mr. Barry is hands down the best professor I have ever had. He checks in with each student at the beginning of class and asks if we have questions ( use this to your advantage). Study your notes and do the problems in the pink and text book! Flashcards will be your friend. Chemistry is tough but he makes it fun. Cant give this guy enough praise!

Comment:

Barry is such an amazing teacher, he really tries to connect with students. Homework isn't due, but I wish I could go back and do it to help study for exams (*HINT HINT*). He makes sure that all questions are answered, and no question is a bad question. He tries to make things easy for you to understand. I really am sad this class is over.

I really enjoyed him as a professor and person, chemistry is one of the harder subjects for me but he did a great job explaining concepts. He gives quizzes every week but drops a few of the lowest ones and they keep you on track. He tries to make chemistry bearable which I greatly appreciated. Hard class but great professor.

Comment:

This class scared me to death at the beginning. As time went by Barry noticed I was making D's on test and asked me what was wrong? Instead of taking chem 120 I ended up in 122 (accident) and he told me I should drop bc I need the basics of chem 1st. I stayed and ended the semester with 69%. He doesn't round but it was all worth it.

He was very professional yet super relatable. He didn't really give out extra credit yet somehow he was able to get us all to study. Very good at explaining concepts and helping us understand chemistry. Highly recommend him!

Barry is one of the best professors I've had. He's hilarious, caring, and an amazing teacher. It's a lot of hard work but he makes you want to succeed. He's more than willing to help and you can tell he genuinely cares for his students.

Barry Herron was the reason I stayed alive throughout my second semester of college. He's genuinely a great teacher and has a love for Chem. If you don't understand something, he will surely help you understand. If you need this class (or just want to take it for fun) I highly recommend Dr. Herron.

Barry is willing to put in the work to help you out, but you have to be willing to put in the work too. This class is a hard class if you do not attend and/or pay attention. If you go to class an try hard, you will do fine.

The absolute best professor!!! If you are taking chemistry make sure you take Barry!!!! He will take the time out of his own day just to make sure you know what youre doing in class. Not only did he help with understanding chemistry but he was a great adviser on what classes to take my next semester and insight on other teachers. Very caring guy!

Barry was the best professor I had at JCCC. He is amazing at teaching what you need to know for chemistry. He starts every class by asking every person individually if they have a question about the content. He is there to help and truly cares. Easy class if you show up and do the work. Don't be intimated by chemistry if you take it with Barry!

By far one of my favorite professors in college so far. He made class enjoyable and made the material easy to understand. He gave us chances to ask questions and made sure everyone understood everything we were learning. He made chemistry fun & super easy to understand!!

Berry Herron is the coolest college professor I have had yet. Not only is he one of the most laid back, hilarious guys - he is a fantastic teacher. His lectures are interesting and everything he teaches is straight forward. I love chemistry, but love it even more because of him.

Barry is the best teacher I have ever had. I am back in school after getting my Bachelors at KState. He CARES, is helpful, has office hours, special ways of helping us remember things, practice sheets he creates himself. I have NEVER had such a wonderful teacher. The class material is hard -- GO TO CLASS and STUDY and you'll do great.
