Reviews of professor Lecia Barker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I never thought it was possible to have this awful of a professor. She has absolutely no idea what she is talking about and even at the end of the semester and I am still trying to figure out what this class is about. She does not know how to use technology and talks about irrelevant things. A complete waste of time.

Lecia is not a horrible professor, but she is definitely not my favorite. Her lectures are boring and she uses clickers for questions, but they are almost always messed up. If you tell her that she gets upset and tells you to email IT and her with good reasoning to get the credit back. Again, not horrible, but really wacky. Not the best class.

Professor Barker is definitely knowledgeable in her field, there's no doubt. However, I often felt that she wasn't passionate about teaching the class, and this definitely affected my view of the class. The concepts are a lot to fit in during a one-quarter period, and her lectures were often rambling and boring. Her teaching style wasn't for me.

Her lectures are not engaging and she does not give good feedback to your responses in class. She frequently messes up the format of her clicker questions and her TA's have graded my papers incorrectly more than once. Overall this class seemed like a waste of time.

Absolutely dumbfounded. Irrelevant tangents that can eat up a ton of in-class time, tons of out-of-class busywork that is totally irrelevant to the course most of the time, and her emotions can get the best of her in class. This course is essentially bizarro-INFO 1111 and the fact that most of us are taking both at the same time is infuriating.

Painful class. Frequently goes on tangents relating nothing to the class and frequently talks about her personal life, homework has nothing to do with lecture , and the entire class is one group project that has zero organization. She won't answer questions. It isn't hard, but immensely frustrating to feel in the dark on every assignment.

This class wasn't too difficult if you have a good grasp on google sheets, but Dr. barker is a little weird. She has a lot of issues with iclicker and technology which is weird considering. Easy to pad your grade and get an A if you're persistent with iclicker. Mandatory class for CMCI so just be ready to push through.

She talks way too much. She is condescending, arrogant, doesnt know what she is talking about, makes the class feel so boring and has no idea how to work any technology. Overall a very frustrating professor, wouldnt recommend. So much homework.

Random tangents, fear mongering, harsh on students. Midterm had more security persuasions than the SAT
