Comment:

- I like her, in person, since she is lovely, kind and always ready to help students. - Still, I don't recommend you to take her class if you need clear and organized lectures. Personally I don't like the way she writes randomly on the board and has unstructured lessons. I always have to google a lot before exams as the notes are quite confusing.

Comment:

In a intro class she lectures. Her lectures are interesting and engaging. She can be a bit hard to follow sometimes when looking back at your notes. The tests are easy and most of the labs are as well. Just make sure you attend the lectures otherwise you'll be lost! I took Diversity of life. Also, she is nice and easy to talk to. Go to office hours

she's an amazing professor who just wants you to learn. she's definitely the nicest, if not the best, professor in the neuroscience department. to do well in her class, take lots of notes and review them!

Comment:

I love her passion on the subject (neuro bio of music and art). The things that Sue and her family have accomplished in the past are absolutely amazing. Her excitement for the subject is so contagious, that you're bound to become interested in it. The class was so fun and relaxed. Highly recommended for people who need a break!

Here teaching style is very easy to follow which is probably why her tests don't seem that difficult. She's a lot of fun to listen to and time just seems to fly during class.

This was one of those classes where I studied and memorized a great deal but found little payback. I didn't like how the quizzes were structured, and class time seemed dull and interminable.

She's a great professor. Very clear, willing to help as much as possible, and gives fun, engaging lectures. Tests are not too hard, not too easy. Not too much busy-work. I was very happy with both her teaching and the material she covered in class. Happy to have had a class with her!

I didn't do too well in this class, but it was completely my own fault... Prof Barry was always very clear w/her lectures and very encouraging on the few tests that I did get a good grade on! Going to class helps! She has great lectures.

She's the sweetest thing ever. I have had LONG chats with her when I go to her for help. Ofcourse this is after she clarify's my doubt. She obviously LOVES her family! If you get a chance, do take her class!
