Reviews of professor Richard Barefield

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Barefield was chill. He assigned us readings before every class but then just read almost the entire story to us during class. Took off points for every class you missed. Grades based on weekly discussion, a midterm, a paper, and a final. Not too hard of a class as long as you show up and listen.

He's the sweetest man ever, but you only have like 3 grades. A midterm, a paper and a final. He will throw in like 2 or 3 quizzes if you're lucky. Really difficult to do well in this class if you don't do well on the midterm, paper or final.

This teacher needs to retire!! He assigned assignments an hour or so before class, and his pop quizzes were difficult. He also never gave anyone time to study for a test. His lectures are boring, and never related to the content. However, he will give you extra credit if you show up to class when there was 10 or less people that showed up.

Mr. Barefield was my favorite class during my first semester at Alabama. Class time is mostly spent reviewing your peers' work or taking grammar quizzes you'd see in a freshmen high school class. The only grades are the four essays and quizzes you take, plus there's no final. Seriously, take this class! You won't regret it.

Very willing to work with students when having a difficulty and an easy grader. No phones and talks the whole time but overall an easy course. Also gives extra credit if you are in class on days that nobody else shows up

One of the best teachers I've had at UA. I usually don't like English classes but this one was super interesting. He gives quizzes on most of the readings, gives a ton of free quizzes, one paper, a midterm and a final. He's super thoughtful and will help you with anything. Take him!!

A great teacher. Im a generally lazy student and his class was super easy. It was also enjoyable as he had entertaining conversations w us in class. He did assign sentence HW. It was the easiest thing ever and gave us easy points so nothing to complain about. In class work is peer reviews, sharing ideas, etc. No real HW besides papers. Take him!

He means well, but it took everything in me to attend this class. It was so long for no reason and he could've ended class after 45 minutes. He loves what he is talking about which is sweet, but it's hard to love it when you are literally falling asleep. He is so kind. One of the kindest, but this class is boring.

Mr. Barefield is an easy teacher to discuss assignments with. He gives clear expectations of what he wants and is accessible outside of the classroom. Hes a really nice guy and I could tell that he actually wanted my peers and I to succeed in his class. Definitely recommend taking his class!!
