Reviews of professor Barclay James

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This man is amazing. He is so funny but he doesn't do it on purpose and he makes sure we know that he lived in Ecuador. Seriously though, I was so lucky to take this class with him, the class was so open to discussions which I feel is essential when you talk about international business.

Hes kind of awkward, and not the best at giving lectures. He grades on whether he thinks your papers are "good" or "bad," with no rubric to help your writing. It's almost impossible get a high A in the class because of it. I would only take it if you like international business a lot and like to have class discussions.

Barclay cares for his students and learning! You write about 3 papers during the class called spotlights but they are nothing more than a 2 pages. Very easy to write as you are answering four short answer questions. He works with his students if you need an extension. Homework is minimal and mostly done in class.

I definitely recommend him! Truly very caring and very funny professor.

Dr. James is an awesome professor! He is very fun, kind-hearted, and cares deeply about his students. Dr. James encourages a lot of participation in class because he likes his lectures to be more discussion-based. There are a few case studies and tests and although his grading is a little tough, he will prepare you well for the tests.

Dr. James is an interesting character to say the least! While he may be a little odd, he's definitely available to whatever his students need. He is a tough grader but if you pay attention in his class, you should do well.
