Reviews of professor Barbara Carpenter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you're even a little computer savvy then you will do well in this class. You can work ahead and I was able to finish the class in 2 months. The first half of the class is reading chapters and quizzes. The second half is working on all MS office products, 4 each . Only had to email her once and she responded within 24 hours. Work ahead is key.

Barbara Carpenter is the worst Professor I have ever had. When you email her asking questions about class projects she writes you a brief email directing you to the syllabus and doesn't answer the question for you. She is unhelpful, rude, lazy, and the people at the ACC lab who tutor should get paid more than her because she doesn't do her job.

When you ask for help, help you shall not receive. All she does is direct you to the syllabus or other handouts she's posted. Obviously if you had found the answer there you wouldn't be bothering her. Besides that she's lazy and it can be seen through her posts on blackboard and the handouts. In agreement, tutors should get paid more than her.

No lie, the ratings on here scared me but I had absolutely no issue with P. Carpenter. Class is straightforward, her communication was clear and friendly. Some programs I was familiar with so pretty easy - still picked up some nifty tricks! Learned a lot with Access. You have 3 attempts to get 100% on projects - just do the work get the A.
