Reviews of professor Karen Barnhart

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Barnhart is my favorite professor and Russian is my favorite class because of her! I don't know anyone in her class that dislikes it. Russian is such a hard language, but you truly learn it with her help! The first 2 weeks of RUSS101 learning the alphabet is hard and overwhelming, but don't give up! You can do it, and she'll make it worth it!

I ADORE Professor Barnhart. She is extremely caring, kind, funny, and down to earth. I looked forward to every Russian class. Class consisted of individual whiteboard exercises, group speaking exercises, and light note taking. Professor Barnhart makes a difficult language seem easy, and makes every class period fun. Best college prof I've had :)

Prof. Barnhart takes the intimidating language of Russian and makes it enjoyable for the entire class. She takes the time to clearly explain each concept, utilizing white boards and vocalization to great effect. On top of that, she is a very kind teacher who takes very good care of her students and is extremely accessible. Would 100% recommend!

Professor Barnhart is an amazing teacher, encourager, and person. She cares for her students more than any other professor I've had and truly cares about the individuals in her classes. She makes learning Russian fun and engaging. I never wanted to miss class and all 4 Russian classes were my favorite part of my college schedule. Highly recommend!
