Reviews of professor Sontina Barnes

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I literally redid my whole schedule so I could have her again. She is incredibly intelligent, and she makes her students really engage in critical thinking. Her class is something I looked forward to because she opens the floor for discussion rather than lecturing for 3 hours. She is very caring/understanding. Goes the extra mile to work with you

The best professor at NC State. Truly cares about her students and treats them with respect. 15 pg paper analyzing a policy and meeting w a representative makes a huge portion of your grade. Definitely need to be on top of that assignment. Sounds pretty scary but prof. Barnes was available to give all help needed to succeed. TAKE HER!!!

The atmosphere of our class was wonderful, on top of that Prof Barnes was just a truly passionate professor. Best professor in the department honestly. She is invested in her students and wants their success in and out of the classroom. HIGHLY recommend connecting with her, she is my favorite.

I loved this course! Dr. Barnes passion for Social Work and teaching came across so clearly. I became so much more invested in the profession because of her. This class is also not very difficult. The "worst" parts is the group project and the volunteer hours, but it really isn't that bad. I would for sure recommend that everyone takes her!

Professor Barnes is AMAZING, I seriously love her so much. I took her for Practice I and II. She's so warm and kind, and she loves all of her students and genuinely cares about them. In class is mostly discussion and group/partner activities; you DO need the book for exams and assignments, but you usually won't need it in class.
