Reviews of professor Daniel Barringer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is one of my personal favorite instructors here at TXST. I had a lot of fun in class with all the group discussions he encouraged. Physics in general is a hard subject, but if you put enough time in to learn you can get it.

I was quite taken aback by the ratings on here, because I thoroughly enjoyed Barringers course. I believe if you show up to lecture prepared to learn and do the homework assigned, it should be a relatively easy A. His lectures were particularly enjoyable, as he is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about astronomy.

For have never taken physics before he is a pretty good professor, but he doesn't lecture in class. He sends out a pre class video (10-20 minutes) then you do practice problems in class. I liked the way he did it but some may not. He moves quickly through material, but overall I liked his class set up since we did lots of practice problems

The professor is lazy. Self admittedly and it SHOWS. His lectures are condensed 20-minute garbage where he gives you 2 equations and then the class is examples, that do not even use the equations. It's a jumbled-up mess that shows a lack of commitment to the curriculum and teaching. He cusses and is nerdy/seems fun to hang with, but teach dude. pls

Condescending to students, unclear expectations/unreasonably critical grading

Watch lectures on time, they are online and brief. Class time is spent solving practice problems (simple and challenging). Use the book, and then ask questions. He won't spoon-feed answers, but will guide you in the right direction. A note card for exams. Exam problems are taken (word for word) from the study guides he posts. NO SURPRISES.

So far my experience in this class is not too good. He requires you to watch the "pre-lecture" video. He expects you to understand everything from that which most people don't according to the dead silence when he asks for volunteers to answer in class. The class isn't helpful either, it consists of doing 3 problems and then you are on your own.

He would have lectures available to us before class, and then during class we would only do practice problems. So if you dont think you learn well that way then I said suggest you do not take him. But I didnt struggle that much mostly because I understand physics pretty well, but even I didnt like the way he teaches...

This is the best professor to take for physics and has been the best professor Ive had compared to all of the science courses Ive taken. He generally cares about his students and wants them to be successful. I took him online and he allowed collaborative work on exams which was set up through zoom.
