Reviews of professor Faith Barter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This was the one class that I actually looked forward to going to! Prof Barter actually cares what we think but also does good lectures. She also cracks me up. I actually think this class helped me become a better writer in my other classes. Keep in mind, you have to actually show up, but it's genuinely worth it. Recommend a hundred percent.

Was looking forward to this class. However, most of the students in my class, including me, do not want to participate. If you say anything wrong about the topic, she will cancel you in front of the whole class in an embarrassing, humiliating way. This is ironic because participation is a huge part of your grade. So much for a safe space

This is my favorite prof in the English dept. I cannot say enough nice things about her. Amazing teacher, caring human, extremely smart thinker. She's the bomb! Take her upper division courses too. They will change the way you think.

this past year was a nightmare for a lot of reasons, but prof barters class was one of the only classes i actually enjoyed. i felt like my writing/thinking legit improved, which says a lot for me rn. we read some kinda charged stuff but she always made us feel safe discussing it. i wanna take her other class if i can.

I learned so much from Dr. Barter! She puts a lot of effort into giving feedback. She takes her black-centered space seriously so she will shut some comments/topics down sternly. This causes some anxiety but it's because she cares a lot. Once I got more comfortable in the class I participated a lot without fear. Just don't say anything tone-deaf.

While it is nice that there is no final essay, pieces of creative work are assigned instead. Thus the amount of time you spent for this class is not as predictable, since artistic creativity isn't consistent. Because of that, points given or deducted could seem arbitrary. Participation is very important.

informative classes but if you have social anxiety you might want to avoid taking this class. 2 presentations. participation is a big part of your grade and you will not know your participation grade until end of term. she pretty much grades how many times you raise your hand. feedback is in form of 10 min voice memo. very constructive feedback.

Dr. Barter is an amazing professor! Shes really helpful and accessible. Although her readings that she assigns can get lengthy. This is the second time I've taken her and her quality is consistent.

Dr. Barter is a real gem. She cares, she's understanding, and she's fair with her grading. She give great lectures and holds class discussions effortlessly. It's never an awkward silence.
