Reviews of professor Clifford Barnes

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He had very high standards from his background, it was very difficult sitting through lectures for hours just digesting information. But things I liked were he got straight to the point on a lot of the work, he skipped most of the usless proofs and just told us, heres the equation and heres how to use it. His labs were the hardest part.

WOW, I have never had a worse professor in my life. He grades very strictly and takes points over the most small things. He took points because I used the word "lab" instead of "laboratory." He's also really rude to his students and puts them down in a negative manner. He thinks he's really funny and laughs at his own jokes, but no one else does.

I really enjoyed Prof. Barnes's class. He is an old school no-nonsense sort of man, so as long as your honest you should do well. He isn't afraid of calling you out if just Chegg your homework. Also, speak wisely he will poke fun at you if you say something dumb like the wind force.

Great teacher, really knows his stuff. Doesn't suffer fools lightly. Can be a harsh grader, but it's because he knows you can do better. Had no trouble transitioning to remote learning after COVID. Tests & quizzes are open-book, but don't think that means you don't need to study. Doing the hw increases chances of doing well on tests.

Mr Barnes held high standards, not lenient with missed assessments Despite the tough approach, he was a good teacher, explaining complex material effectively. The workload however was intense with daily homework and relentless group projects. Even having taken AP physics in high school this class stood out as one of the most challenging experiences
