Dr. Barnes is inspirational and hilarious. He is very thorough in his explanation of what he expects from his students. As long as you show up to class, listen when he speaks, highlight what he says, and study the material, you should have no issue passing this class. Dr. Barnes also has videos that he has created for his lectures. Very helpful!

Love love love Dr. Barnes! Easy teacher, go with the flow. Be prepared to highlight. Tests are made from highlighted material in your book, normally 40 questions per test and he gives up to 10 points extra credit. I like when he tells his opinion on things other than the text book answer.

Dr. Barnes taught A&P 1&2 to me. I was fresh out of high school and absolutely terrified of college classes. Barnes was welcoming and gave clear directions for what to study. As long as you are engaged in class and actively study outside of class, you will make an A. He is a real gem, I wish I could take more classes from him. :)

Dr Barnes is a great teacher if you like to self-teach.

Its great if you are okay learning on your own, Im not that type of person so it just wasnt good for me

He's okay. Not a bad professor but he tends to go off topic very often. One time he went so off topic he started explaining to the class how he believes antibiotics cause autism and it was low key weird. He tends to go on tangents where he tries to give everyone life advice, which isn't generally a bad thing, but I'd rather learn what I paid for.

Mr. Barnes has us rely solely on the poor Wi-Fi connection to learn. He highlights and moves on without going over the material. He has said several racist and sexist things. I have learned more about his religious and political beliefs than I have biology in this classroom. It has been a complete waste of both time and money.
