Comment:
I could go on and on about how terrible of a professor Barnett is, had to drop his class because he told me to question my Rabbi. As a Jewish person I was offended and thought a class in Hebrew Scriptures would have been interesting. I was shocked at what Barnett had to say when I questioned him on a few biblical perspectives.

I took him last fall and couldn't help but wonder if he got a thrill when he made us the most miserable students on campus with the amount of work and tests he gave us. He also makes u do hw and test corrections! If u miss a class you'll never catch up.

Very nice guy. Gives you many opportunities to increase your test grades. The tests are very tough. He takes off points very everything and it adds up quickly. If it isn't what he wants it is wrong. There is plenty of extra credit. He doesn't do review for tests so you are pretty much on your own.

DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR UNLESS YOU ARE CHRISTIAN and even then, if you are a woman, you might not like some of the antiquated things he says. I don't mind a challenging class, what I do mind is a professor who constantly tries to silence differing and valid opinions. THIS IS NOT AN ACADEMIC CLASS. THIS IS BIBLE STUDY.

Comment:
One of the worst professors I have ever had. He asks for your opinion on religion and then shoots in down, even if it is something that your family believes. Also, if you dont regurgitate his definitions word for word you will not get the question right. However if you do exactly what he says all the time you will pass no problem

He is the worst professor I have ever had in my life. I have never disliked any professor before nor have I ever fought with any. He is terrible and will make you feel stupid for not answering his questions by his words exactly. Don't EVER take this professor for any class. You will hate him.

He is a nice guy and definitely knows what he's talking about, but he does not always understand or want to hear what you have to say. If you do the short papers weekly and study from the definitions word for word you will ace this class.

If you're serious about Religious Studies then I would definitely take Barnett... He is difficult but he knows what he is teaching and has very interesting things to say. I love Professor Barnett but he expects a lot from his students. If you're lazy don't bother taking his class because you wont pass, but if you want to major in RS i say take him

He sucks he demands to much work to be done. I took a 100 level course and he acted like we were going to be the next Jesus. I would not recommend this teacher at all.

Comment:
I took two courses with this Professor. I'm not the best at RS, but this guy was amazing. I totally recommend his course. He goes over all the material from class before the midterms and final and practically tells you what to expect for the exams. I never did much of the reading and still got As in both courses.

Very hard teacher to take. Demands alot from his students, but if you do his HW and listen to his him in vlass and take good notes, you will get an A easily. I graduated 05/07 and he is one of the few teachers I will always remember because I learned so much from him. I had a 2.7 overall GPA, wasn't a model student, but took this guy and got an A

Here's the deal: If the part of the Bible you are reading is in line with modern philosophy then it means what it says, if it's a part of the Bible that is, say, anti women's rights then it's ment to be interpreted according to him. Quite frankly, he doesn't like the parts of the Bible I like. There is no way that the Law books are figurative.

Comment:
Extremely hard! Very pompous, egotistical, and unnecessarily difficult. He loves to give everyone a hard time and the work load is ridiculously too much. His tests are unbeleivable and he grades like he's saving lives. Even his teaching about the bible is appalling. I beleive he turns people off to christianity.

Great teacher! Tough grader & demands hard work & attention to detail but that should be expected in all college students because it's expected in life. I hated him at first but then realized that I'd learned more from him than any other professor I had. He takes the subject matter seriously, as he should, & doesn't stand for stupidity or laziness.
