Reviews of professor Barbara Hughes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you ask her a question she will not answer it. If you ask her to specifically define what she wants in an assignment she will refuse or be purposefully vague. If you do not participate in group discussions she takes points off of your essays.

Is experienced & qualified. Is unclear explaining content & expectations. Students admit lack of support & when surveyed, 71% students verbally stated class assisted w/ decisions to *not* pursue policy work. Cancels classes unnecessarily and assigns 100% of graded work + halfway through semester. Does not use rubrics and grades' unfairly.

Beware of the group project for this class if you have issues within your group it doesn't matter to her. She won't move you to another group, if other mbrs don't do a good job you all will fail and its 35% of your grade. First C I've gotten in graduate school out of all A's.

Professor Hughes was the worst professor I have taken at WSU. Tough grader, not accessible outside of class, and rude to students during class discussions. I do not recommend taking a course with her.
