Comment:
I would not take from this professor again. The section I took was a WCA section and those shouldn't have zoom sessions. But when he did schedule the, he scheduled them two hours before they started, at 11pm, and over spring break. He didn't give any pop quiz's, or tests in-between bigger exams.

This prof SUCKS. Do not take his classes especially if it is online. He only grades on exams and does not give homework. It is easy to get behind. He talks very slow so it is hard to stay involved when listening to his online lectures. Would not recommend him. Get in any other professor's class if possible.

Don't bother with the book since if you try and do things its way he will fail you. Half of the final consisted of problems that were never discussed during class. Absolutely ridiculous. Do not take a class taught by him unless you already understand everything in said class.

Professor Barber sucks as a professor I would NOT ever recommend taking him. He yells and complains about his students for an hour before starting class. Expects you to already know everything about the class and will scream at you if you ask a question. WORST professor also comes in late everyday.

Has a very hard time keeping on topic. I used to keep tally marks everytime he ranted on about the weather, politics, or his Calc 1 class. Very hard to follow. Get ready to teach yourself the entire semester!

I have never struggled in a math class in my life.... Until I walked into his room. He gets himself riled up in class and starts yelling about past students who make dumb mistakes on tests. He also acts like clearing things up and answering questions for students is a burden to him. Dont be afriad to go to the math center if you are in his clas

Comment:
This professor has a hard time staying on a single subject. He gets excited and will veer off on to subject discussed in future calc classes. He doesn't seem to be organized at all. He doesn't appear to have a schedule which he teaches off of. He, doesn't use the book in lecture but hw is from the book. Hope he teaches whats in the book.

Terrible at explain things, just awful, you would have better luck going to the math lab and have them explain it to you (oh and by the way he discourged our class from going there, saying "they don't know that they're doing over there).

Here's the thing, to math majors this guy can be a gem. He uses fancy terms and goes into mathematical rants all of the time. If you knew what he was talking about you would probably like him. BUT, most of his students aren't math majors... Nor do we understand his terminology. He also does an extremely poor job of explaining what you're doing!

Offers extensive homework but grades none of it. More packets delivered than textbook used. Showed rude attitudes towards questions in class especially when he deemed it to be remedial or of trivial difficulty to himself. Has four tests final one in two parts one being standard second being cumulative. Demands all work shown, and done in his manner

There is no orderly way of disseminating information on when tests or quizzes are coming or what they will be covering so it's best to attend class even if it's excruciating to be there. The information taught is thrown out in such a way as to be confusing so read your book and be prepared to teach yourself, use the Math Lab and do your homework.

Took this class as a refresher after being out of high school. Absolutely the worst math teacher I've had, I don't believe he understands the concept of "teaching". If you got stuck in his class, expect to be teaching yourself from the book all semester.

Beware! He does not explain the material well. If you ask him to go over it again he gets frustrated and yells. I would NOT advise taking him.

I'd have to say, Mr. Barber is one of the worst math professor's I have ever had. He doesn't use the book at all, and basically just teaches off of handouts that he gives you. Professor Barber also wastes a lot of teaching time by going off on un-needed rants and rabbit trails. I'd reccomend to choose a math course with a different professor.

Mr. Barber is amazing!! He really cares about you and your grades. Most people who did not do a great job in his class didnt want to be in a math class, didnt show or didnt pay attention in class. I have a learing disablility and i did amazing in both of his class. If you dont pay attention and take clear notes you will be lost in any class.
