Reviews of professor Deborah Barnes

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I value and respect Dr. Barnes she such a deep person and inspired me to research outside the class for my own knowledge and fun however she does give out many things to do such as read 2 articles & watch a 2hr video before next class. Instructions are hard to understand & tough grader for essays I withdrew to save my GPA great person tough prof

Shes an amazing professor I highly value and respect her, however its so difficult to pass. Out of all the assignments weve done only 3 have been graded by midterms and its about 3 more by the end of the course. Her lectures are amazing but the anxiety of not passing her class is killing me. Also her assignment details are hard to understand:(

During a pandemic, she'd rather you risk your health to attend her class. Do not ask her for help, you will be left on read. And she seemingly does not care and looks to take off points. Had her twice now (unwillingly due to advisor) and nothing has changed! Better off not taking this specific section of LIBS on Race, Crime & Social Injustice.

if you're going to take this class be ready to not miss ANY classes, as she's goes into depth A LOT. Also be ready to critically think. I never thought I would struggle so much in an African American Studies class. But she definitely goes about a different way of teaching. She also has a very vast vocabulary that always left me feeling so lost.
