Reviews of professor Matthew Barnette

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is terrible- Avoid! His grading is arbitrary, inconsistent, & not relative to similar courses. He does not grade against the rubrics, just makes up his own criteria. When you ask for specific help, answers are short, vague and of zero value. So disappointed in the university for not addressing his continued poor reviews and student complaints.

I took Modern War and Society with this professor. His feedback is not remotely helpful. For the most part, the feedback felt like it was run through an AI generator and half of the words were either misspelled or grammatically incorrect. His grades are also incredibly arbitrary. I would avoid taking a class with him as the professor if you can.

Matthew Barnette took the somewhat easy subject of History and turned it into a struggle. He walks a fine line between following the rubric and his own judgments. When you have questions about your grade, or how to approve, he is argumentative and uncooperative. I am so glad this class is over.

For background, I am a 4.0/A online student at SNHU and an honor society member. Barnette will grade you on things that are not presented in the rubric and will grade you all over the board, with no rhyme or reason to it. DO NOT take this guy at any cost!

This professor is the absolute worst. I have no idea how he is still allowed to teach. He says to reach out for help, but never actually helps, he will copy and paste his feedback to everyone, and grading is all over the place. It seems like his grades are dependent on his mood for the day. Even if he is your last choice, don't take his class.
