Reviews of professor Michelle Barton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Barton is so kind and considerate. She is also great at effectively explaining the material in a way that makes it relatable as well as interesting. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone. There are weekly forums as well as five quizzes (more like exams) that make up your grade.

One of my favorite professors at LSU. You can tell she cares about the subject and she cares about you. Very empathetic and honestly a very sweet lady in general. I took her for SOCL 2001 freshman year and SOCL 3101 sophomore. She sets very clear objectives for the course and works with you, she went out of her way several times to help me out.

Weekly Packback discussions due but aren't difficult. All virtual course with video lectures so class is on your own time. Powerpoints accessible on moodle with voice recordings explaining topics. Tests on moodle open for one day and are pretty easy and directly from things she uses as examples on moodle. Such a sweet and kind woman really.

Her class consists of weekly writings and quizzes. The writings are rigged bc the TA grades so harshly and if you lose a point, your grade goes down a lot. The quizzes are okay but some of the questions aren't even in the textbook or in her powerpoints. I recommend taking another teacher but if you can't, well good luck Charlie.

I'm not sure if it was more the TA or Prof. Barton but this class was unnecessarily hard for a 2000 level class. I say this as someone who has taken many 4000 levels and knows what should be expected of me in terms of grading criteria and work load. Everything was graded extremely harshly and I learned almost nothing. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE.

Do NOT take! Dr. Barton is a nice person, but makes the class unnecessarily difficult. Journal activities are 35% of the grade, and there is no clear grading criteria for them. The TA that grades them just gives you a random grade based on what she thinks you should get. This class is SO time consuming and we learn NOTHING!

Would take her again!! She wants you to pass, gives amazing feedback, and doesn't make you feel stupid when you don't understand things. This was an online class and we had 1 project (paper), 7 module quizzes that were written, discussion boards every week, and extra credit! Please don't feel discouraged from other reviews, because she is great
