I just finished taking her statistics class online. She is very well organized and presents the subject matter clearly. Also she is very helpful and really wants everyone to succeed. She even gave us her home number to call if we needed extra help. The class was not difficult, but make sure to keep up with all the assignments.
she sometimes goes to fast and loses everyone...
She's really concise when she explains mathematical concepts, but she does move really fast. Her tests aren't that difficult material-wise, but she grades pretty harshly so watch out for that. She also doesn't make herself that available after class.
pretty easy. Very nice lady. I don't remember a thing I learned, but hey, I got a 3.7.
She is very helpful and will take the time to answer your homework questions.
she is an exellent teacher, she will take the time to explain the material. you will not regret to take the class with her.
I LOVE HER!!!!! one of the best math teachers in Highline. Her lectures are excellent, she explained it very well you'll easily understand it. She's really nice and very lenient. Test and Quizzes are huge part of your grade. Homeworks are easy. Attendance is not mandatory but still lectures are useful. I would HIGHLY recommend her!! -MATH 210
Was first a sole online class, people started failing so she gave lectures. Her teaching is very helpful and concise. Grades homework with an iron fist, which is good and bad. Overall Shes a great teacher! I suck at math, but she made concepts understandable. She is very helpful if you have questions, I suggest taking her class if youre bad at math
She is a great teacher!!! Her teaching is clear as well as what she expects of you... Very nice lady too! :)
people are trippin or something. yea she has an accent but its not so bad you can't understand. it's not an easy class but not hard either. and i always asked for help outside of class and she helped me all the time. she's nice too- we got her to move tests and hwks all the time.
she was a pretty cool teacher. got me interested in statistics again. you have to attend class in order to get what's going on though. i should have not bought the text book though- we didn't use it. yeah she has an accent but everyone understood her. and she moved HECKA deadlines for us (even tests) because we asked. got a 3.7 almost easily.
Great teacher; she explains everything very clearly and it always willing to help you understand the subject better. I took statistics from her and she made it not too difficult. I would definitely take another class from her if I had the chance.
I didn't like this teacher at all. She moved way too quickly and didn't explain thoroughly enough. 4 tests she gave out studies guides. But when it came test day, the study guide didn't reflect the test at all. It was harder and unexplained material. If I knew this class would've been this way, I wouldn't have taken it. Too much HW not enough time
Awesome teacher. Goes out of her way to explain concepts to us. If we don't understand it one way, she has another explanation to help us "get it". Her tests are hard and attendance is mandatory, plus you have to do homework ... but it is worth it. She really cares about her students, which makes her class so much easier. Need 97% for a 4.0.
She did not explain concepts well. She gave us a quiz before we had finished the homework for the sections we were being tested on.
Great Instructor. Very hard class. I would not have made it if not for her ability to take concepts that should be left for supernerds and supercomputers, and turn them into concepts that "average joe" can understand. So far my favorite instructor at highline.
Barbara is the best! I went to her office hours everyday and helped me for an hour straight on homework. She clearly teaches but her tests are lengthy and is hard to complete within 50 minutes. Also, the questions she uses on the tests are far more advanced than the ones on the homework. Read each problem carefully.
She is an AWESOME teacher! Very clear, organized and helpful. Always asnwers her emails and sets you up to succeed in the class! The tests are easy if you have done the homework. I like the progress reports after every test. I HIGHLY reccomend her if you are going to take a Math course! Very Happy I did take her class. It was online by the way.
As long as you listen in class and do the homework, you'll most likely get an A.
She was great!!
Barbara was extremely helpful. I very much appreciated her availability and eagerness toward teaching the subject. Thanks Barbara.
Barbara was an amazing teacher. She is passionate about what she teaches and it shows by how well she teaches the material. I am NOT a math student whatsoever, but she was able to teach me. Take her class, you will succeed if you try your best and listen to her advice.
Barbara made more sense than my high school math teachers. I earned better marks than I ever did in highschool, however, you must have time to dedicate to this class, it will fry your brains if you haven't been studying math lately.
She is a GREAT teacher, she's REALLY helpful, don't need a book, she gives you notes, LOTS of practice problems. she's the type of teacher she if you miss class she tells you to come to her office and she'll teach you EVERYTHING. people who do bad in this class are just people who SUCK at math. don't skip class though she teaches
i really like her, she is very nice and helpful teacher. she clear the concepts of the students and tell the reasons behind the formulas and equations.
This professor is very fair and makes time for her students. She makes sure that her students get a good learning enviroment without a lot of distractions. Very punctual and also is veru consistent with her classroom expectations.
I took the class online, so I made sure to read every day, give myself ample time for assignments, and ask questions. But she NEVER replied to the forums when everyone was struggling on the same things, she took DAYS to email me back, and was almost never on campus. Math is my forte, but this class was extremely hard. I would not recommend her.
I took this class online during summer of 2012. Math isn't my thing but I always pass. I never knew my grade; she never updated it. She only updated it after my first test and I was passing so I figured I was okay. Then a week before the final she informs me I am failing and tells me to drop the class when it's too late. $500 and my summer wasted.
Awesome teacher!!! If I could I would take more classes with her. She will expect you to understand the material so just attend class daily and DO YOUR HOMEWORK and you will do good on her tests. Alot students forget math needs to be repeated over and over again in order to really stick.
She's a nice teacher and is always willing to help you with the material. However, 50% of your grade is exams, 25% is the final, 10% homework, 20% Worksheet/Quizzes. The "study guides for the test almost NEVER reflect what's on the test. You're told to practice the material, but the work she gives just isn't feasible.
The final exam was really terrible. She taught new material right up until the final exam day. Gave student almost no time to review of prepare. The grading was completely unfair because it was heavily weighted on your test (which were worth 50% of your grade, the final was 25%). So if you don't do well on test, your grade is complete toast!
Very difficult course, and she was not helpful from the beginning. She grades mainly on exams, and does not give adequate review/practice beforehand. Lessons taught in class did not always transfer to the online homework. I do not believe she is very considerate to the students in class.
This teacher was absolutely horrible super hard unclear she treats you like your a middle school student. Gives you so much homework and gives you tests a week or two after you have learned the stuff. Horrible all around teacher the worst decision in my 3 years in Highline.
1/4 of the class dropped out before the midterm and she said quote " Half of my students in my last qrter failed... I would like more people to pass this time around"... She gives too much HW sometimes unrelated right b4 a test and wonders why people did bad
I should have drop this class, she did not help me at all. She gave us too much HW, and too hard exam.
Don't take this professor unless you really have to. Her passing percentage is 50% which tells you something. She is very unhelpful, and covers new material all the way up to the final. She makes no time for review in class, and her study guides are not study guides. If you fail 2/4 exams it's very difficult to pass the class.
I loved this professor! Business Calc. is a difficult course with a heavy workload, but Mrs. Hunter explained all 25 sections that went over clearly, gave us study guides, and always made time for questions. It isn't that challenging to pass if you actually come to class, do the homework, and study (big shocker, huh?). I definitely recommend her!
I think that her class is really difficult comparing with other teacher. Actually she gave us some materials for test, but test was really difficult. Especially, there were so many word problems. She didn't cover all of them. I was really in trouble at that time. Also, I sent e-mail for her, but she didn't send me back. I don't recommend her.
Took Calculus 2 with her a couple years ago. Great professor. Easy to get a good grade and teaches very well. Easy exams. Gives out practice exams before tests which are very helpful and identical to actual tests. Plus she lets you use practice exam, notes, and calculators on tests. And 1 page of notes and calculator for final. Take her if you can.
I have taken other math classes before, but nothing like this! First math class to have writing assignments. Homework assignments were so time consuming and it would be worth only 10pts. Which is horrible! There will be 3-4 assignments and quiz day before the tests. The practice tests are nothing like the actual exams. Don't take her if you can!!!
Barbara was great professor, she understands the material very well, and she answers questions quickly and clearly. She also went out of her way to teach us all the calculator command shortcuts, and she allowed us to solve equations using just the the commands for shown work. Good teacher, would take another class from her, even though I hate math!
It was an online class. She regularly has a online video meeting (?) for students to ask random questions about anything. She is helpful if you are eager to get an A or study hard. Even if you don't really ask questions, she gives or posts many resources for you to understand key concepts. She is nice!
My favorite class I've taken at Highline! I had always done poorly in math since high school but Barbara Hunter really helped her students understand why and how the math was used. She saw potential in everyone and went out of her way to talk with struggling students and help them. Math has became my new favorite subject.
The class itself isn't especially difficult but this professor is the worst online experience I've ever had. There is an assignment due almost daily and they're long! she is a tough grader but gives no feedback. the worst is she doesn't post the material for the current week regularly so it makes it impossible to plan when you will do assignments.
She uses the system calls Webassign what I don't really like it. 90% of your hw is doing on the Webassign. Tons of hw! About 100 problems every weeks. Tests are ok. But final has 10 pages you can barely finish it in 2 hours
Do not take her. She always makes a mistake while giving lectures on the board. Runs out of class time and next day exam. I mean come on, really? And half of the things on the exam doesn't really reflect her lectures or the homework.
Super picky teacher. Hard grader. She just makes things a lot hard than what it supposed to be.
This professor was the worst experience the homework was endless. The exam was unrelated staff than the homework. there was no review of the test . the things that were on the test have not been covered yet.
So much HW! Assignments were long and a lot of times unrelated to exams. She does offer a practice exam for every exam which is so much more easier than the HW assignments and VERY similar to the actual exam. Overall, she cares for your success, always available to help! If you take her online, go to the study sessions or online study sessions!
. Don't take this class with her unless you need to. You are bombarded with homework that typically takes 3 to 4 hours per day to finish especially if the homework has more than 10 questions on it. I don't even have time to read the book because of it. Study guide isn't even close to the exam. She is a late grader, takes weeks for her to grade.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!! She marks things wrong, you ask her why, she responds, "It's Statistics, be more specific." So, you're more specific and she marks you wrong because you were too specific! WTHeck!?!? You ask her for help, she doesn't. So, you go to the Math Center for help and she gets mad at you and grades you even harder! DON'T TAKE HER!
This class is by FAR the worst class I have ever taken it is such an easy topic that doesn't require too much studying but yet she makes it 100x worse than it should be. Study guides are different from the tests. She gives no feedback what's so ever. The class average for all of the tests was around 55% which is awful. Please do not take it.
I've never written on Ratemyprofessor, but I decided to this time because I want to save you from entering hell. Do not take her. Tough grader. Lack of communication. I took an online class because I COULDN'T physically be at class, but she makes you come in to take a test. Makes an entry level math class a lot harder than it actually is.
I took stats online. It was terrible. The textbook doesn't teach you anything, teacher doesn't teach you anything. It's sink or swim and you're totally on your own. She's the kind of teacher that you're afraid to ask questions because you don't know how they will react. She knows a tough subject really well and expects you to, also.
Took this course because I work and cannot be physically in class but all tests are proctored and she isn't very flexible. Communication is terrible, will stop answering questions claiming that she already answered them. Exams are 50% of your grade, massive amounts of time consuming HW and 3 projects are only 20%. Wouldn't recommend.
A really great professor and she is very kind!!
online class with in person exams. sooooooo much homework that takes up a lot of time. doesn't respond to emails for days.
I took an online class, and Hunter went the distance by providing in-class and online lectures. She was quick to reply to questions and always gave feedback. If you turn in your assignments early, she will let you know your mistakes and will accept resubmissions. I read only a few pages of the book, just her chapter summaries.
Do NOT take her. She's the worst professor I've ever had. Barbara is a professor that you'd be scared to ask a questions. She is very careless and unhelpful. The class by itself is very hard and she expects everyone to know everything like her and makes you feel stupid when you ask her questions. BEWARE.
I loved taking her class! I took it online so I was nervous that it was going to be hard communicating with her but she held in person study sessions twice and week as well as video chat lectures. The part that amazed me the most is that she was always willing to stay longer to help you out and go over example problems.
Bad Professor. Doesnt provide good material to help teach you, just two videos that arent hers and expects you to learn it all. Her grading percentages are not fair. Makes the class way harder than it should be. Regret taking this course with her.
Barbara is the worst instructor I've ever had. If you can skip her for your own good. She is a very cold person that doesn't care about her students. The class is super complicated, she gives a bunch of homework and you're expected to do HW for 15 hours a week. The worst experience ever!
Teacher was accessible for in person study help and study help through zoom. It was an online class but every 2-3 weeks we had to come in person and take an exam which was difficult because it was an online class. It is quite a bit of work. The teacher makes you get connectmath which costed me $105. She really cares about teaching and her students.
Ive taken a lot of online courses over the past couple of years but this one is by far the hardest. In 9 weeks there are 27 assignments in connect, 10 quizzes. 5 exams, 8 worksheets, and a mini project. All the homework is extremely challenging and takes more time than my other 3 classes COMBINED. If i wasnt unemployed theres no way Id pass.
For this online class, what the professor doesn't tell you is that while the class has no set schedule, the 4 tests that make up 50% of your grade do. The tests are only announced 2 days before they happen, and are only available for 5 hours, then she closes them. Miss one, chances are you will fail. Lacks communication. Very cold email responses.
Not very accommodating or understanding
Wow, during quarantine this professor has been so cold and unconcerned with her students situations. Refuses to cut any slack over a 9 week course she has more work than 4 classes combined. Will not respond to emails or will not answer and will belittle you in all caps. Would not recommend an absolute nightmare that made my anxiety spike.
Late respond. Lack of communication, lots of homework.
Never answers emails! Gives weird assignments that if not completed result in an incomplete for the whole class. Online homework is not hard but does not allow you to really learn anything. Do not take unless it's your last option.
NEVER REPLIES TO EMAIL. Overall not a hard class but NEVER REPLIES TO EMAILS. The first time I emailed her, she responded 5 hours later, which very understandable. The second time I emailed her was 12 days ago. Still no response. I emailed her again 3 days ago and still no response. This prof heavily lacks communication.
This class was my hardest this quarter and the workload was so much. We have 3-5 hw assignments every week and also a worksheet due at the end of the week. Also a quiz every week.. Man, it was a lot and tbh this class is not easy. But if you join her study sessions, she's very good at explaining things and making you understand. She's a hard grader
I have dealt with a lot of professors by far shes the worst ever. Never take this with her. Wasted my time for 3months. I learned nothing nor did I gain anything. She gives so much homework with little explanation. Constantly accuses people of cheating. Shes just horrible. She shouldnt be a professor at all.
It was an online class, so I didn't get a chance to directly communicated with her. However, she replied to Canvas messages fast with any questions, and gave feedbacks on assignment. Test are not easy but she always had extra credit questions. Lots of work needed in general.
Loved Professor Hunter. She provides adequate lecture handouts and videos on how to learn the material which were helpful. Lots of weekly homework and quiz assignments, some extra credit opportunities and exams were difficult if you didn't study. Emailed often and she got right back to me on any questions I had on assignments or exams! She's great!
Professor Barbra Hunter should not be a professor. this lady made me feel like i wanna shave my head. She is super harsh in grading, doesn't give you enough time for test. Also accuses students of cheating. Please i advise you not to be in her class.
LOTS of work. If you have extracurricular activities, I suggest you find a different class. Read textbook, connectmath hw, and quizzes every day for 4-5hrs. Makes you pay for $105 connectmath or buy new textbook $75. Took because it was online, only to find tests are on-campus. Passive-aggressive, and made me feel dumb email communicating.
Do not take Barbara Hunter! You will study every day for more than 3 hours. Every week there is homework and quiz and also a worksheet. She tests really hard and is a tough grader. Sometimes there is just no point in communicating with her. She also assumes that everyone cheats in her class. Her class work is like 3 classes combined.
She was barely available and gave a lot of homework.
Very difficult class. A lot of work. But the teacher is very supportive and good at teaching the material. Even if you forgot all your algebra skills she is able to help you. Don't read the textbook, but make sure to always go to her office hours for help. Don't take this class with other hard in person classes. Prof Barbara is better than Kwon
Barbara is classwork heavy, but she offers zoom sessions daily to ensure students are understanding the work. She always answers questions and goes over HW. Zoom sessions are not mandatory but if you attend them you will pass her class. She is very passionate and I can't believe I was able to learn Business Calc so easy. Thank you Professor Hunter.
The workload alone feels like a full-time job. She doesn't use statcrunch and prefers $100+ program that barely gives us room to relearn from our mistakes. She should also change her grading style. Your 4 tests are make-or-break
I have never had my spirit for learning broken before and I can finally say that now. She has made this the most hardest quarter for me even I thought I had gone past those days and I haven't even finished with the class, I still have to take test 3 and the FINAL EXAM. Unless you're very good at math, you will need some help on the side.
Since the course was online, I would only recommend it for students who are motivated to keep up with the work on their own. I recommend working ahead of the class schedule. She has Zoom office hours, both during the day and in the evening. She will help you with any homework problems you had difficulty with, and is a very nice person.
I would like to say that Barbara is a great teacher. Although her grades are tough and a lot of homework, if you attend her office hours on zoom or in person every week, you will pass with an easy A because she is great at explaining things and really respectful. She gave you a lot of time on exams like 2-3 hours and extra opportunities
Professor Hunter is a very nice and communicative professor at highline but the material she gives out makes it hard to pass a class such as Math. Majority of the work that she gives you does not really relate to the math tests at all and you usually need to filter out only the things you need to know. She does have study sessions outside of class.
Please do not take this professor. All of her ratings are poor for a reason, I was self taught during this class and I received absolutely zero support from my professor. Also when attempting to reach out for help about my situation, I am just brushed off and not helped. My financial aid was not approved because of her. Avoid at all costs!!!!!
I'm suffering in this class right now. She expects you to dedicate your life to her class. She would be a great teacher if she didn't give out so much homework.
This class is incredibly hard, especially if you have a life outside of school, work a full time job, or have other commitments. If you care about your GPA, I'd avoiding this class at all cost. There are about 8 assignments due within the span of a week, and this is a weekly expectation.The professor doesn't teach well so you will need extra help.
If you are having a hard time and communicate, she is very understanding. She seems like a great teacher. The work on the other hand is not exactly hard, but it is NONSTOP and the class is extremely fast-paced (which she prefaces at the beginning of the quarter.) I think if you can handle a large workload go for it, but it wasn't for me.
Instructor patiently gives ample 1-on-1 time, but with a job or family, I couldn't have passed. Homework's due 7 days/week & takes hours. 1st 7 weeks = engaging & reasonably challenging. Final 3 weeks = force-march thru specialized formulas not needed in an intro course. To pass tests, you MUST memorize which formula to use with which word problem.
