Reviews of professor Joshua Barber

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was kind of difficult because of the timed quizzes and tests, but the assignments were easy. You have to read the book in order to do good, but that does not mean memorize you have to apply the knowledge. He is a nice professor who is willing to help if you reach out. I would definitely take his class again.

If you have all day, and I mean 16 hours to study and take notes upon various court cases, trials, and every little detail pertaining to government... then by all means go for it. However if you're looking for a reasonable class, where you simply just read a dozen pages and take notes and study to get an A then don't take this class. Good luck :I

Took his class for 2020Fall. From the beginning of class to November, we had weekly quizzes up to 5 questions (some 6), and weekly writing assignments. After November, we only had weekly writing assignments. For the writing, he provides 2 topics you respond with 200-300 words. Simple. There are also 4 exams and 1 writing paper of 1,000 words.

If you can avoid this class, do it at all costs. Rarely responds to emails, and if he does it is unprofessional. All quizzes and exams are timed. The 200-word writing assignments every week were near impossible. And there were no clear guidelines for grading, so there was no way to improve scores. This was the hardest class I have taken. Good Luck.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! All of the assignments were timed, which wasn't that bad. The part of this class that made it impossible was the lack of teaching. We had a writing assignment and a quiz each week that did nothing to prepare us for the exams. If you get a bad grade on an exam, it's nearly impossible to fix your grade after that.

Lecture heavy, but very informative and lots of real-life application explained. The best group project I've done, and I don't usually like group projects. Professor Barber was willing to explain things I couldn't grasp and gave the class plenty of time for quiz reviews and stuff. His tests are a bit hard but he curves them and goes over them.

HORRIBLE!! If you are taking professor Barber all i can say is i wish you the best.. one of the hardest teachers EVER. Not to mention he timed us on exams and quizzes and it was not fair the amount if time we had to do it, made me stress even more. I do not recommend him at all unless you want to cry every week because of his class like i did.

Pretty easy class if you do the reading. His lectures are easy to follow and sorta repetitive so you dont have to take many notes + he writes the important stuff very concisely on the board. Tests are easy, dont have to study more than an hour or two if youve done all the homework and mess. Cool dude.
