Comment:
WORST professor in my major. Full of herself. Hasn't worked in the industry in god knows how long, she is soooo out of touch. Never responds to emails. She likes one design style and only teaches one style, swiss. If you do not design every project with those principles you will fail the class. She hates creativity and originality.

She is not very smart at what she does. Seems absent minded and has trouble speaking to the class. It would be fine if she had good content to teach but her class is boring and not much to do or learn.

Comment:
Barbara is a fine person and seems to be more caring as an advisor, but as a teacher she's really cold and seems to look down on her students. Answers to questions are very abrupt. If you're going through portfolio review, don't get too attached to any pieces until you talk to her, because there's a good chance she'll be too picky for them.

Comment:
Literally the rudest, coldest woman. She treats her students like they are a huge inconvenience to her and offers little help, both in class and as an advisor. She will get frustrated with you easily and treat you as if you are completely inept. I've seen her offer no praise, only cold criticism. Can't wait to be free of her.

Comment:
I'll give Barbara credit, she's had success with her design career. But she is a horrible teacher. Never checks her emails, is very unclear in many cases....it's really frustrating. She has given some good advice on project improvement, but she is all about design thinking more so than doing actual design work. Sad to see the program in her hands.

Absolutely the worst teacher I have had the displeasure of working with. If you need projects for your portfolio you won't get them from her. If you need constructive criticism you will only get snide, passive aggressive comments. Seriously she is ruining the graphic design program at Chico State.

Comment:
No open to what anyone else thinks might be good design. Puts you on the spot. Expects unrealistic results. Thinks that her class should be our life, and if it's not, we aren't doing good enough. Doesn't have much respect for her students.

Comment:
Barbara is unique. she looks at design from a different perspective than most. It is much more intellectual with her, which makes her classes different than others. She is wonderful when you adjust to her style. She offers a lot of support and knowledge IF you apply yourself and try. She has a LOT to teach and is probably the best prof we got!

She doesn't have a rubric for grading, so you have no idea what your grade will be,she doesn't give to many lecture classes and she doesn't use any textbooks. Vague! Instead of teaching anything of value,she just made us work on a small spread page for the whole semester so that we could make a collective book but she didn't help us in the process.

She is really nice, very helpful, interested on students learning, she lets you explore your own ideas and never tries to make a project her own. She is very understanding and always willing to help students. She is a key teacher in the department.
