Reviews of professor Matthew Barno

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The TA will be the one to grade your essays and midterm. For the final, the TA is as well. TA takes more than two days to reply so email the TA as early as Monday to get a response by Friday. TA grades unfairly!!! TA recommended I follow the essay guide which I did. TA graded me so low that it is dropping my grade bit by bit. TA is the worst!

Professor Barno can articulate and simplify semi-complex topics (as someone who is not good with math) so that they are comprehensible to the average person. He always takes time to explain extra if people are having trouble. He is very available outside of class for any reason and overall is a great, caring professor.

Lectures can be boring, but if you are willing to sit there and do the required readings then you will be fine!

probably one of the worst classes for criminology at UCI, readings are extensive and feel boring. The class goes super slow and the TA's grading is extremely difficult. The class is repetitive, the papers that you get to pick from are extremely unequal as can be seen by some having means of 69/100 and some 90/100 so you better get lucky with pickin

This was my favorite class this semester. Professor Barno cares about his students and their success in his class. Lectures are actually interesting and he keeps his students engaged, I learned so much from him. Weekly case briefs (11 in total), midterm, and a final. He allowed us to use one sheet of notes for the midterm and final.
