Very nice and sweet lady, sometimes hard to understand the material, but always willing to talk to you and help you after class, i would take another classs from her

Good class, gets everyone involved in disscussions. Take notes, and read the chapters she assigns. Test are very hard, 100 questions each. Papers and projects are fun and fairly simple, over all good class and good teacher

I thought I would fail...but she generously gave me a C. Very sweet woman, very understanding. telecourse is easy...very very easy...3 assignments and 2 tests. gives u a study guide that makes it easier. I hardly did anywork at all, and I got a C. I recomand her.

Helpful and open to questions from students, although the material is very dry and you need to read the text book to get a decent grade of the exams. She talks a lot and the class can be boring. But as a person she has great interpersonal skills and remembers your name

She's a very nice and compassionate person. Her teaching style is great, but somewhat disorganized. Her class lectures were very interesting, except when people started to be defensive, which was stupid, but anyways... don't be scare on the first day, the stuff she makes us do aren't so bad. 2 essays, 1 ten pages research paper, a team talk, 3 exam

she's a nice teacher, always willing to help. she's kinda disorganized and not so good w/ time management. her tests are something u do have to study 4. in this class every point counts, u should participate in class, u do 1 research proposal, u do hw almost every week, u have 10 mini ques. quiz every so often. seems overwhelming but not too bad

I think she is a beautiful, smart woman. Sometimes it fels like there are questions on the test that she did not talk about but she is a reasonable person. I love listening to her voice because it is calming. I am not very into Soc, but if that is your major, take her.

she is a very nice and easy teacher. I wasnt doing so well in the class but if she knows you she's very lenient.

Hints to succeeding in her class: Get all reading materials - and read the assignments BEFORE lectures. Makes it much easier to understand. She does have you take a lot of notes, however, the tests include some reading material as well. Also there is a method to the madness. Every assignment means something. I'd take her again...in a heartbeat!

I took the Intimacy Relationships and Commitment class DON'T TAKE HER SHE IS HARD AND UNFAIR. She doesn't round, and her tests are 150 questions and you have only 2 hrs to take it thats less than a minute per question don't take her unless you want a C or D

I took her intro to Sociology televideo. the videos were extremely boring and outdated, she made us do flashcards and internet entries, and u know what was on the final. it was pretty easy, and you do learn things that are interesting. take televideo

oh my god, she's amazing. i loved her. it was so easy. she's really easy to work with. she's easy with extensions. she's willing to work around your schedule. easy A

R.M.P. is usually spot on. Not in this case. Excellent prof., knowledgeable, helpful, available anytime. Lots of work/studying though. This is a foundational class to our major so, i didn't mind. Do the work and you should do well.

Cynthia is so nice and really cares about her students. I took her Screening Gender (soc/film) class and found the material interesting and entertaining. Attendance is mandatory, so don't miss a class. The tests aren't easy so make sure you study. There's 1 or 2 papers and they're not too hard. She's really sweet; ask for help if you need it.

I just finished up the Intimacy/Relationship online course. She replied via email within a day and was clear with the instructions. The only thing is that we had to write a 5 page research paper interviewing 8 people, do weekly discussions, take 3 tests, and 1 group project - a lot for 1 month, right?

Cynthia is a very nice woman. She can be unclear at times but is more than willing to help with anything you need. It is not a hard class as long as you show up and listen. I would definitely recommend her.

This Professor is very nice. She is enthusiastic and gets the class interested in the subject. She is fair, and gives you access to her PP presentations and a study guide for all exams. If you actually show up, and pay attention your going to pass this class. I really enjoyed this class and would take other classes she taught.

Takes attendance. Outlines assignments and grading in the beginning of the semester. I had an 89% and she wouldn't round up to give me the A :( She gets pretty harsh ratings but I'm not really sure why. If you do the work in her class and use her study guides for exams, you'll get at least a B. I didn't use her text book very much.

This is a fairly simple class to pass if you put in the work, which is a somewhat reasonable amount for college level students. Cynthia Barnett is not a difficult grader and is very helpful when you have questions. She is very nice and encourages class participation. You cannot get by without reading the assigned text!

This class was pretty hard. She gives so much work to do that you lose count but it helps. She's really into group projects but she makes sure that everyone does their part. She'll give you full credit for a lot of things if she sees that you are actually trying. She's also very lenient; especially if you go to her office and ask for help.

Cynthia's class is very interesting and I loved to take it. I did take it online and she kind of did take forever to respond back, but besides that the work is always easy and clear but the midterm had a little bit of time with a lot of questions. Besides that it was a great class.

For the passionate Soc Major:Do not be afraid to take this class. If you love sociology and take school seriously, read the reviews below with a grain of salt. This class is not easy, but it's doable. Follow up with Cynthia during office hours, she is your ally. Study for tests & quizzes! Work hard. Getting a good grade is on YOU, not Cynthia.

she is the best!!! take her because she's the sweetest lady ever and her class is interesting and she makes you want to be there. she's so caring and i would take any of her other classes in a heartbeat.

This was a great class. Lots of interesting information learned. Participation in weekly discussions are a must, plus you get to know your classmates. Some group projects. Note that some assignments were graded slowly. I would take another class from this instructor.

I really enjoyed this class, it's important to read to do well on the quizzes and the midterm and final but the text is really interesting. Everything I learned from this class was beneficial to my life, everything is relevant. Cynthia also gives so many opportunities to contact her through chats, email. etc. A great online class!!

I was nervous to take this class because of previous reviews, but I enjoyed the class and didn't find it to be that challenging. Just go to class, learn the material, study and you'll be fine!!

I took her online course. I loved this class! Such interesting material. Yes, you have to read the chapters in the book in order to pass her exams. My only complaint is that we had to do 2 group projects & that was difficult to do with the class being an online only course. Barnett was well organized and made sure she was available to students.

I thought this class was so easy. Do the work and you will pass. I made flashcards out of her quizzes and used them for the final. I didn't do so well on the midterm and it ended up making my grade a B so i emailed her and asked for an A in the class and she gave it to me because my research essay was really good. So ask if you are close to an A.

Professor Barnett was very accessible outside of class and I felt very supported by her as a student. The class itself was pretty easy and straightforward, and really inspired me to learn more about sociology. Some assignments were unnecessary, like the group project, but each assignment was very simple.

She was very sweet and understanding. There is a lot of reading but if you space things out and maintain a good schedule you will be fine. People are so dramatic!! Don't listen to the bad ratings they are just slow. It's one of the easiest classes I've ever taken and I am in high school. (Dual enrollment)

Intro to Soc (18w): 3-4 assignments & 1 quiz/week. Quizzes are easy & quick. Assignments are time-consuming, but simple. 1 graded paper, 1 extra credit reflection paper on a comic book (They Called Us Enemy). Final is cumulative but easy. Grading is slow. As a dual enrollment student, I found it very easy, so don't let the other reviews scare you.
