Comment:
Barb has little apparent ability to handle students who think outside of the current social work box: she appears to be angered by people who question or challenge "received wisdom". Impatient, easily shocked, rigid thinking. If you are both a humane person and a critical thinker, she's a good prof to avoid. Otherwise, nice enough person. I guess.

Comment:
shrill,and uptight and seems out of touch with the real world. I totally agree with the comment on why tenure is bad. She should consider retiring as she seems overwhelmed and just plain tired.

Comment:
Barbara wasn't too bad as a prof. She isn't too engaging in student's works or discussions. Criticism in papers and posts but aren't really creative. Kind of says this, this and this are bad and that's kinda it. Barb seems she has her own stuff to do so she's not really into the course she taught.
