Reviews of professor Halbert (Hal) Barton

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Syllabus will be your bestfriend because he is all over the place. He switches topics at a very qick speed but goes back and forth and seems confused himself. Exams are open book and textbooks are allowed but the information he says outloud during lecture is what the exam is basd on. He will write notes on the board but theyre not much help. c

Dr. Barton is one of the most understanding and lenient professors at LIU. Even though this was an advanced class, it was almost impossible to not get at least a B. Whether you take him for ANT4 or whatever, he expects quality and quantity. He may say 2 pages, but do 5. Make it effective though! Participate, show up and hand in your papers. Simple.

Challenging, interesting, and engaging. Listens to and learns from the students. Provides students with the minimum amount of theory needed to fully understand the lectures, but also gobs of supplemental material (vids, readings), and encourages students to use those materials in writings and class discussions. Take his classes!

Extremely brilliant! Puts LIFE into any and every aspect of Anthropology! Especially into Stones and Bones. He draws everyone into the 'game' of LIFE. He really helps you understand where we come from, and how we got to be 'we'. He is very dedicated to teaching while he revels in being a learner of science, himself. His assignments lead the way.

I did not learn a single thing in his class. my class was an hour and 15 minutes twice a week. the entire time during those classes, he was trying to figure out how to use zoom. it was funny. he was always all over the place. we spent one class learning our 1-10s. which if you dont know is sad.

Really interesting class... he brings in skulls and you have to identify them... All tests are OPEN BOOK,OPEN NOTE, but you still need to study because the questions are really hard... I would take his class again.
