Blah. Class was boring boring boring. We had small group discussions for way too long every period and all our group ended up "discussing" was how much we hated class. She claims to ask easy quiz questions on reading assignments just to see if the student read. By reading she must mean rereading the material 3 times and memorizing all the unimportant details. For example: answer to the quiz question: crickets. My answer: grasshoppers. I got the problem wrong. Does it really matter if it was a cricket or a grasshopper? Aren't they the same thing?!
Positive:
Brings discussion into the classroom
Shows a love of teaching
Shows a great knowledge of subject matter
Involves students in every lecture
Negative:
Would not recommend this professor
Professor is boring or bland
Expectations are unclear or lofty
Overly difficult tests or assignments

Difficult professor. If you get on her good side you won't do that bad, but if you get on her bad side...good luck! She doesn't explain papers clearly enough, and expects a lot out of them.

Worst professors I've ever had!
What a bad prof!! I went from being for Native American rights, to hating all those arrow shooters! Plus she is bias because she will think of you as a certain kind of student and then no matter how good your work is, she still gives the same grade. Im starting a "Down with Barker" movement!!
