walk abouts were fun and entertaining
tests are hard but he gives students bonus for their test scores.
Great teacher, have to attend class to do good on test. Keeps you awake and class interesting.
I enjoyed Dr. Barnes lectures, he made them interesting. I felt comfortable in his class and learned about the human body and the amazing way it works.
I enjoyed the class and learned a few new things I did not know prior to taking this course.
I haven't been in school in many years. Dr. Barnes made Biology easy to understand and interesting. The hybrid class is perfect for those of us that have responsibilities outside of school. Would definitely recommend his class.
Dr. Barnes is awesome. I have learned a lot in biology this semester I would definitely take his classes again and refer him.
Dr. Barns is one of my favored professors in Desoto campus. I enjoy his classes because they are always different, he is always portraying information in unique ways actually making information interesting. Not only does he know the information he is teaching, but he KNOWS how to teach it. And i thank him for that!
Dr. Barnes is a great professor. He's a very laid back, conversational, and comical individual. He is very open minded. I have to respect that because I think of myself in the same light. He has really sparked my curiosity about the water canopy theory. I'm doing my own research on this topic on a daily basis now.
Easy class, great teacher if you go to class and complete all highlighted material and study you will pass the class waiting on next semester for lab class.
I love Dr. Barnes teaching. Because of this class I know and understand what it takes to pass A&P 1. Dr. Barnes is an excellent teacher and I love how he teaches his class. This have been my most liked class this semester.
His class is one you have to be prepared for he won't just hand you an A. But he does the best he can to make sure you pass by giving lots of extra credit oppurtunitues . This is not your typical bio class his teaching style is to sort of make you feel comfortable by trying to make his class feel as laid back as possible.
His class is one you will enjoy if you enjoy nature walks, learning in a comfortable enviroment, and believe in big foot.
Professor Barnes is an awesome teacher. He is very descriptive and shows a lot of enthusiasm during class. He takes us on nature walks, like what professor does that? Only an awesome one! His notes are pretty easy and he gives a lot of chances for extra credit. Biology with Barnes is awesome!
He knows the material very well. He uses the required text to make questions for the tests. He specifically tells you what to highlight in the book. So if you read over the highlighted stuff you should pass the tests with no problems.
Study Guides would be nice!
Easy enough class. Tests are a bit tough but not too bad.
Easy enough class. Tests are a bit tough but not too bad. Definitely recommend though.
He's a good professor
The only thing I did not like about this class was that we meet once a week and I was not aware of that at the time I was signed up for his class. Other than that, its been great. He goes over everything with us in class, practices with us before tests and is a overall good teacher.
Loved his class and the Sasquatch walks!
Mr. Barnes is a great teacher. I am happy that I have had a opportunity to take his class. He made my semester a very interesting and delightful experience at Northwest Ms. Community College!
He's a good professor . I HOPE IF HE HAVE ANOTHER CLASS CAN I TEKE WITH HIM AGEIN
This Class and Teacher are my favorite part of the day!
Mr. Barnes is a great teacher. I am happy that I have had WITH HIM THIS LAB . ALSO I LIKE WHAT HE SHOW US IN THE CLASS LIKE THE VIDEOS
Dr Barnes knows how to turn a borning course into something rather interesting!
Dr. Barnes is an exceptional instructor he is more knowledgeable than any instructor I have encountered. Dr. Barnes have an amazing passion for his teachings and is more than willing to share his knowledge. If I had to re-take this class I would request to have Dr. Barnes as my instructor.
Dr. Barnes is a very knowledgeable teacher who's eager to teach those willing to learn. I really enjoyed taking this class and having this little guy as my professor.
Delivers clear basic concept of Biology; he wants you to pass his class but you gotta work too
dr. barnes makes class easy however if you do not read or put forth the effort to study you will not pass you have to show up for class and read and study
He really presented the info in a way that made it easy to remember and retain. Really takes interest in students.
Dr. Barnes is a very good teacher and has above average knowledge of science. He makes learning interesting and engaging. I especially enjoyed our "field trip" where our class went into the woods in search of evidence of Big Foot and observed barn owl activity as well as bluebird habitat using scientific method.
Dr. Barnes has taught me so much about Biology in just one semester. I enjoy his classes because, although they are long, they are worth it! He is very clear in his lectures and will explain it to you in the most simplistic way he can. If you don't understand it afterwards he will try to explain it again. You can tell he really enjoys his job.
He is a great teacher. knows the subject very well. I will be taking his class next semester to finish my degree.
Dr. Barnes is a very good teacher. He is there for you even his tests are tough. He is inspirational, funny, hilarious and a very good instructor.
Loved every minute of class.
This is a wonderful class but can we get some type of study guide. What we highlight barely be on the test , especially stuff we do not highlight. You a cool teacher by the way..
Tests were difficult, but the extra points and index card helped. Enjoyed his class, he was a good and fun professor.
Dr. Barnes is a great instructor. He is definitely an asset to the Northwest faculty. He is very friendly and will never fail to bring a smile to your face.
He makes class funny and interesting!
Great teacher. He does chase rabbits occasionally. Gives you plenty of extra credit chances.
Mr. Barnes is hilarious and I would take him for Biology 2 and Biology Lab 2
I've learned so much! Will take again.
When answering questions asked, the answers are sometime rude.
Awesome! :D
I enjoy Dr. Barnes's class. He is an amazing teacher gives bonus points, hilarious, and explain the lecture pretty decent.
I enjoy Dr. Barnes's class. He is an amazing teacher gives bonus points, hilarious, and explain the lecture pretty decent. I will be taking him again for biology II
Dr. Barnes has been extremely helpful and educational to my learning. As a returning student, much information has been forgotten. Through this class and his teaching, Biology has become one of my favorite subjects.
I'm always excited to attend Dr. Barnes lecture. So much useful and informative information is given. He gives us a chance to write notes and highlight material that may not be clear. Board work is also very helpful in understanding the class work.
This class is all about hands-on. Participation is a must. Dr. Barnes is a leader in this hands-on class. We are forever exploring and dissecting something. Be prepared to have fun everyday. Dr. Barnes reminds us that learning can be fun also.
Dr. Barnes has clear, to the point teaching style that makes the information easy to learn. I have enjoyed his class and would take any of his classes in the future.
I have absolutely enjoyed my time in both his lecture and lab classes for Principles of Biology I! Sadly, I have no other science courses to take. If I did, I would definitely take any of them I could with Dr. Barnes!
I have learned a lot in this class and would recommend Dr. Barnes to those asking for a Biology class.
Dr barnes is a very good teacher. He finds creative ways to teach his material in a non traditional way.
Mr. Barnes Biology 1123 Lecture is a very interesting and entertaining class. He allows you a small notecard to assist you during your test. He also gives bonuses which help you to improve your test score.
Great teacher! always very helpful and insightful.
Great Teacher !
Dr. Barnes has a unique and fun style of teaching. He puts the information out there for you, but it's your responsibility to know it come test time. He makes getting the information fun and there are often times a lot of laughs in the class. Despite the laughter and fun, he takes the topic seriously and drills the information home.
He is a good professor. Class is easy, if you highlight right material and be present for class. Very cool and sometimes can be hilarious.
Dr. Barnes is a great professor definitely my favorite overall. Would take all science classes with him if he taught them.
Dr. Barnes is a great teacher that knows the class subject, an teaches it in a fun and exciting way. He makes the class interesting, by tell jokes and watching helpful videos. The test are straight forward and easy to study for.
Easy class, very understandable. I've never made below an A!
Mr. Barnes is a excellent teacher. He's very passionate about his job and likes what he is doing.
Dr. Barnes is a wonderful teacher. Although I am graduating this semester, if he offered more classes, I would probably be a daredevil and take another class of his. He is nerdy but that is what makes him such a great teacher! Dr. Barnes isn't like other teachers, he takes time to listen and to me, he shows that he actually cares. A+ Dr. Barnes :-)
the #7 field should be more options to describe Dr. Barnes. he makes the class interesting and easy. he is helpful, he is there for you, He is an amazing teacher. I will be taking him again for all my biology work. he is such an inspirational caring teacher.
Dr. Barnes is an awesome teacher and always keeps the class laughing and learning. He does not give the same old boring lecture. People learn better if they are excited and he keeps it exciting.
Great teacher. Take him for every science class that you can!
He is an awesome teacher! So much fun!
Dr. Barnes is very knowledgeable on his subject. There is A LOT of opportunities for extra credit, I really don't see how anyone could fail.
His class is very funny! He is informative and straight forward! Love his class!
If I don't understand I can alway go to him for help.
Awesome teacher
Dr. Barnes is a good teacher. I love being in his class. I always learn something new and it is one of my favorite classes.
Barns is a very knowledge man, he knows what he is teaching, and puts a smile on our faces every morning. Amazing teacher over all, very down to earth. Happy I was able to take his classes.
Great teacher, very knowledgeable. Easy tests.
Mr. Barnes is a great professor. I have taken him two semesters for lecture classes, and for one Lab. If I would have taken him before I had taken other professors, I would have chosen his class hands-down every time. I start another school next semester. I hate that I wont be able to take Barnes' class, but he did a great job while I was here.
Awesome class and teacher
Dr. Barnes' passion for science inspires me. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to actually be interested in the subject also. I always learn something new in his class, either related to the textbook or not. And always leave smiling. Either from his funny sense of humor or maybe just from watching a happygolucky good vibe video
I enjoyed every class we had together.
He gives the option for a lot of extra credit, so it's pretty easy to pull an A in his class. He's a really nice guy and he will definitely make you laugh. All around, a pretty good teacher.
Dr. Barnes is a great teacher. He takes care of his students and keeps things fresh. I enjoy his class very much and I would recommend him to every student.
this class is very enjoyable
Darrell Barnes is the best teacher that I have had in science. He is funny, nice, smart, charismatic, and cares about you and sets up the class accordingly. Sit down highlight what's on the test he explains what is highlighted. We also watch videos on material of the subject Fun videos. Barnes is a great teacher!
Needs to focus more on material that is on the test and less on things that are not. Other than that great teacher!
Needs to focus more on material that is on the test and less on things that are not. But a good teacher!
great teacher, I recommend anyone taking lab and lecture with Mr. Barnes.
Great teacher, would recommend anyone having to take bio 1123 and 1121, Mr Barnes is your instructor for the classes.
Dr. Barnes is not only an excellent instructor, but also a source of wisdom and inspiration for his students.
Great Teacher!
Really connects with his students, does not do the same song and dance as other teachers love to do.
i enjoy this class
He makes you highlight everything that will be on the test which is extremely helpful
Uses tactics such as jokes and the way the students speak to have the students engage in class, seems to work most of the time. Gives the classroom a laid back feel, but when it comes to tests if you do not do your part and study be prepared to fail he gives good extra credit it is an easy passing class if you show up to class and study.
Professor Barnes gives lots of extra credit, his test are fairly easy, and he lets you out of class early. His class is very enjoyable.
very knowledgable of science; however, spends too much time talking about personal and unrelated topic, which other students warned me about lol. Must show up to pass, he is funny sometimes, but really inappropriate and unprofessional, which everyone on campus knows lol. I would take him again if I had to, he does at least let us make notecards to help with a test!
Easy class if you show up, will help you if you ask for it. Makes the class interesting, but gets off topic easily. Would take again. I heard he rates himself on here all the time lol. Overall good teacher.
Great teacher! He gives the students every chance to succeed! Take him you won't regret it.
Great teacher. Gives plenty of extra credit chances. Likes to use internet along with books.
Great teacher
Great professor. I enjoy being in his class. He makes the class interesting and easy to understand.
I enjoy being in his class. He makes the class interesting and easy to understand
Great teacher, gives LOTS of extra credit, but if you don't show up and pay attention in class your grades will show it. No homework, and as long as you watch the videos he shows and don't fall asleep you will get an A no problem
You're awesome!
So much extra credit is given there is no way you could fail. He is extremely knowledgable on his subject!
Dr. Barnes is definitely a great teacher on his chosen subject matter along with being a great teacher in real life situations
Dr. Barnes can teach you biology and make you laugh at the same time
Mr. Barnes is a one of a kind teacher, his method is unforgettable. He is serious but also has a sense of humor which we all know can ease the tension. Also, be prepared for a beautiful nature walk involving the home of Sasquatch. This by far has been the most exciting class I've taken in 2 years. Highly recommend! :)
Totally enjoyed the trail we walked and talked about in the Sasquatch.
He is a wonderful professor. Bigfoot trail was an wonderful and new experience and was very intresting.
Great teacher! His Sasquatch trail was fun.
I took this class for Anatomy and Physiology 1. Dr Barnes is very clear about what will be on the tests so they are pretty easy. He also gives lots of extra credit on the tests and reviews before every test. So easy to get an A in this class.
Professor Barnes is an extremely professional, and knowledgeable teacher pertaining to the subject of Anatomy and Physiology. Dr. Barnes is also very helpful and gives several opportunities to improve your grade, for example extra credit.
Test are very clear cut to the material that was reviewed in class.
Wonderful Teacher!!!!!
I love him as a professor. He makes sure you understand the material he is teaching.
Professor Barnes was a good teacher to me. I really enjoyed taking his class and he didn't make the class so hard to where you couldn't catch on. He also tells some pretty amazing stories to go along with his lectures. I would definitely take him again if I had the chance to.
Dr. Barnes was a great instructor. The information given for test made it easier than my past classes. I actually retained the information that was given, and he gives great visual aids while lecturing.
Gives good backstory to the material at hand
I had Dr. Barnes in high school. I went into his lecture at Northwest a little afraid of the outcome due to the fact we did not get along very well all those years ago. Now, coming to the close of his class, I am glad I got to take one of his classes again. I would take another if I needed to.
Dr. Barnes is an great instructor! HE is an basic teacher when it comes to lecture; which is great! The things he make you highlight, is very important for the test. He doesn't have many test at it would be great to really study the material he gives you, to an A!
Very clear would take him again very helpful to
You have to have your book for class, but as long as you have it you should pass. He's not one of those boring professors, he keeps the class interesting. I really enjoyed this class and I'm glad I had the chance to have professor Barnes for my professor.
He's a very good and clear professor, he tells you exactly what to study. I recommend him for future students.
Dr. Barnes is a great teacher. He makes certain his students understand the material he is teaching.
He was really cool. He told us exactly what would be on the test.
A pretty good teacher. Sometimes he can get off subject and say weird things but overall pretty good.
I love Dr. Barnes. I was extremely nervous about taking his class but I must say I enjoyed them both. I'm most definitely going to miss his videos and jokes! Hands down.. one of the best teachers ever! 3
Mr. Barnes is an easy class to take but you would have to make sure you read the questions out fully on the test because he could trick you
Great teacher, sometimes gets sidetracked with his stories, but I really enjoyed the class.
He just tells you what to highlight in the book.
Easy class if you show up and pretend to care but spends too much time with personal stories and this isn't a therapy group. Wierd and inappropriate, makes people uncomfortable at times with what is said
Loves to hear himself talk and spends most of his time promoting himself .dude is very strange. There is something VERY "off" about the dude. Luckily, it's Easy class though just show up and pretend to care and he will basically hand you a passing grade
Awesome professor, took him for two semesters very bright guy. You will miss out if you don't take him!! -----Do your homework and do well on the test! watch extra videos for extra credit
Biology is just not my subject, but Dr. Barnes has such an awesome personality and natural teaching ability I loved his class.
If you don't do homework (watch extra videos for extra credit like Khan Academy, do quizzes he post for extra credit) you get out of this class what you put into it. It's not boring by any means!
Great helpful teacher, with a common belief in what he teaches.
Homework bonus
is a funny guy ! great teacher. makes learning biology fun!
he is a good teacher
Cool teacher. Doesn't just read verbatim out of the book. Helps by taking our lessons and putting real world things with them to help us under stand. Interesting lectures.
Great all around teacher!
great
Dr. Barnes gives great lectures with plenty of visual aids (videos, actual plants, etc.). Completing the homework in his class will help your overall grade, especially if you struggle in science. He does great test reviews on youtube.
Dr. Barnes is great! Expect some homework that will help boost your grade.
I enjoyed taking old barnes class. He gives a lot of homework that helps toward test. I also helped with so filming of some lecture, which was pretty cool!
He has a fun time explaining the material to us.
Dr. Barnes cares about his students and that is one of the many reasons why I have taken him for Biology 1 and 2. He gives you homework to earn more points if you are struggling. He gives you tips and advice on more than just biology, he gives you life lesson tips. I wish that he could be my teacher in every subject. #doyourhomework!
Barnes is a pretty amazing teacher, wish I could take him for all my courses. He gives us extra credit which helps out our grades tremendously! and he has this flash card rule that will helps out as well. Also, his reviews on the YouTube are very reliable and could well-prepare anyone for his test. Great Job Barnes! Your an amazing teacher!!!!!!!!
This is one of my favorite classes. Viewing videos that go along with the lectures really helps me understand the material better.
Even if science and biology is not your "thing", Dr. Barnes is such a helpful person and has a really great way of making people understand the subject without making you feel intimidated. I would love to take his class again!
Professor Barnes is a great teacher. He gives you extra credit for test but it is up to you to do it. All of the test comes straight from the reviews that he does the class meeting before the actual test day.
Doctor Barnes holds interesting classes. He makes sure that the class is entertaining for his class and explains things very well
Dr. Barnes is interesting and very knowledgeable. His test are fairly easy as long as you study.
An easy A
He makes this class easy. He always gives you helpful tools to help you pass and to better help you understand what's going on. He has no problem with answering questions and giving great feedback.
He is extremely helpful, and makes the class fun and interesting. He is a very approachable teacher and very nice.
Helpful
Pay attention, do your work and you'll be fine!
Wonderful Professor. Would recommend to anyone, even if science is not your thing. Would take again, and I'm planning on it.
The test questions can be very difficult to read and comprehend.
test are hard.
He rulez
nice sense of humor
Gives homework for possible extra credit grades. Very good, educated teacher. Knows what he is talking about than some teachers that are not as educated about the topics they teach.
Mr. Barnes is really helpful. I accidentally missed a test day and he helped me make it up no problem. Other than that, the class itself is interesting. He incorporates fun activities into his lectures to help spark interest, (that's a pun because he literally set some stuff on fire once.) Overall he's a good teacher who cares about the material.
Breaks down topics so its easier to understand and learn. makes videos so you can go back and watch to help study for his tests.
Breaks down topics so its easier to understand and learn. makes videos so you can go back and watch to help study for his tests. also asks if you need further explanation in case you dont understand
Love him as a teacher.
He was helpful, but you really need your book to make a good grade in this class.
Mr. Barnes did not really give away anything. he made his tests fairly difficult only to help us. I am glad he gave us the homework opportunities as bonus to help.
Dr. Barnes is a great professor. Given the chance I would definitely take him again. He's very clear and explains things well. He goes out of his way to make sure you have review material for tests and he's always fair. He gives bonus points for doing the homework he assigns so you have plenty of chances to succeed in his class.
Gives homework that is helpful when it comes to test time.
He goes through the book and has you highlight things that will be on the test. Punctuality matters. He's really nerdy and incredibly funny.
He's a great teacher, he's very funny and keeps the attention of the students very well.
Great instructure
Dr. Barnes is an amazing teacher! His class is very easy. All you have to do is highlight in the book and subscribe to his YouTube channel to listen to the lectures! If I could, I would love to take this class again! He's hilarious and willing to help you not matter what. It's all up to you. You won't regret taking Dr. Barnes! I promise!
gave lots of ways to earn extra credit. made topics easy to understand
Mr. Barnes keeps his lectures interesting with different topics ans you-tube videos that are really interesting. You can always expect to have some form of homework. He does give some extra credit, but you have to do something extra that is related to the topic that is being studied. In the end, you will learn something extra for the extra credit
Barnes is an excellent teacher. He has a great since of humor and is very down to earth. He makes learning fun, not the same ole boring lectures. He is laid back, but does expect his students to do well. He helps in any way he can, and is very understanding. I would recommend him. I learned a lot, and we only met once a week.
Love Dr. Barnes. Took him for two semesters (four classes total). Great guy, expect to study hard for the test. If you skip classes you will not pass. Other then that he is very easy going.
One of the best teachers in both lecture and bio lab. He is comedic and goes in great detail in each chapter. Each test he gives almost a letter grade in terms of extra credit(rare times, up to +15 points in extra credit). Depending on the chapter, he'll allow you to use a small index card to use while taking the test, at least in his lectures.
great professor
Dr. Barnes is easily one of my favorite teachers ever. I just finished A&P I lecture and lab with him, and registered for A&P II. He has you highlight what he expects you to know for the test, including "direct hits" for tests and final. Go to class, and be sure to do the My Pearson lab homework & study for tests!
I wouldn't recommend taking anyone else but him. He tells you what to highlight in the text for your tests & direct hits for your final exam. He jokes around a lot but he connects the material with real life situations to better understand. He gives extra credit on tests when you do your homework. There's not a dull moment in his class. He's GREAT!

Dr. Barnes is a well educated, passionate instructor who cares for his students as well as the subject matter. He goes above and beyond to make sure that the class has everything they need to succeed in his class.
Dr Barnes is awesome! He really works hard to make A&P easier to learn and still manages to make class fun! One of my favorite teachers I have taken at Northwest!
Great teacher that cares about your education
Barnes was a very caring professor. He always told you what to specifically highlight for your test and final.
Dr. Barnes cares about his students, but he also cares about how well his students do. He takes time out of his personal life to make reviews for us to watch. He also gives life advice as well as great teaching lectures. Any student would be blessed to have him!
Dr. Barnes is an amazing teacher! You can tell he is a good-hearted person who cares for everyone he teaches! His classes aren't hard to pass if you will put the effort in on your part to do well! It isn't confusing to know how to study! He is an amazing teacher who cares about what he teaches as well as his students' future!
I thought that he was a great teacher! He really helped us understand more about the human body and how amazing it is.
Dr. Barnes is an amazing teacher, very clear when he teaches and knows material well. He will help students when they do not understand and then explain material until the class gets it! Very helpful.
Professor Barnes explains each subject very well and if there are connections he makes sure to break them down. He also has videos for students if they don't understand the information.
Mr. Barnes is a very caring teacher. He is always willing to help his students. Sometimes during his lecture's he may go off subject or lose you lol, but overall he is a good teacher. This is my second time taking him and if you do the homework and study, you will be able to pass the class.
Dr. Barnes is a great teacher! Would definitely take him again!!!
It's a lot of work but he wants us to successful in our career . Very thankful
Dr. Barnes is an amazing teacher. He explains the material to the best of his ability. He extends his time to help his students.
overall great teacher
I did not like how everything was highlighting and not much explaining
Maybe condense some test information or make the test 10-15 questions longer
He is a great teacher. He never throws curve balls to what are on his test. He is hilarious. I never got bored listening to his lectures.
Dr. Barnes goes off topic sometimes in his lectures but it is only to try to connect the material to everyday life so we can comprehend what we've read. Test are on the highlighted material but it's so much highlighted material it's over whelming. He makes videos that help and gives you bonus points on tests.
Dr Barnes is HILARIOUS!! He always has the best and funniest stories to tell. he helps make the materials understandable. he's a great teacher. and he's a great person over all!!! i would take his class all over again. BEST PART IS HE TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO STUDY AND HIGHLIGHT IN THE BOOK!!!
Dr. Barnes is absolutely fantastic! Such a CARING man! He is an actual doctor which boosted his credibility about his knowledge of Anatomy in my opinion. Dr. Barnes requires students to purchase textbook; however, he tells students what to higight and whatever he tells you to highlight WILL be on the test! He also makes YT vids for each test! :D
Dr. Barnes is an excellent A&P instructor. You are responsible for the highlighted material in the text. Exams are usually 40 questions, M/C & T/F. His lab exams, specifically the human skeletal bones and muscles are a bit more difficult. You are expected to identify and spell them correctly. He has YT videos & easy HW, extra credit. Read the book!
Good teacher
I like that he has a review right before the test. His youtube videos are extremely helpful. I will be taking Dr. Barnes again.
Good teacher and pretty nice guy.
He is very knowledgeable but breaks it down to understand .
Awesome Instructor
Dr. Barnes is a wonderful professor! You can tell that he cares about your education. He publishes youtube videos and pdf drawings that are fantastic learning aids to the class. As a Dr. he is able to use clinical application discussion to bring the material to a deeper level of understanding. I would sign up for and enjoy any class he teaches.
Honestly an amazing teacher. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Great teacher.
Wonderful professor. He takes time to explain the material in the textbook
Okay Professor.
Dr. Barnes is a great professor. He goes over all the material you can expect on the tests, and tells you which material is most likely to also be used in the Cumulative Final. He also gives you opportunities to earn extra credit points on all of his exams, which can be a huge helps sometimes, especially since he counts off for spelling!
Dr. Barnes is an amazing instructor who is also hilarious. He is very thorough about what he expects from his students. If you listen to him when he talks and highlight what he says, then you will have no problem passing as long as you review the material like you're suppose to. He also has all of his lectures on video for a great review as well!
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!
He has been a great teacher. Better than A&P teachers in the past.
Great learning experience
He is a great teacher. All you have to do is pay attention and highlight, you are guaranteed to pass!
Dr. Barnes definitely tries to keep the class entertaining! I would take him for a&p 2 if he had a class :(
So thankful for his sense of humor.
Thankful for his videos,lots of material to study. Funny attitude
Great teacher! Very informative! Wish he had an A&P 2 class!
He is going to make you earn your grade
He is very funny and keeps things interesting. All of the material comes straight from the book so if you read you will be good in this class.
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.
Mr. Barnes is a great teacher.
I really like the highlighting, it helps to know what to study. The reviews right before the test are helpful for me. The YouTube videos rock!!!! I bet the videos alone helped my grade for each test. I look forward to taking him for II
Wonderful teacher, I had to retake the class and my grades have been so much better under Dr. Barnes. Plenty of extra credit opportunities, helps relate things in the book to things in real life, and prepares you very well for student learning observation test. I definitely recommend his class.
Great class
Excellent teacher that really cares about his students. Its great to see a teacher that cares so much about what he does.
Great prof, very personable and realistic.
Makes content easier to understand.
Absolutely a wonderful man and teacher, he will always give you a chance for extra credit, and he is very fair if he is wrong on the test (only happened once but he gave me and the rest of the class points for the error I caught). He is so awesome. Sticks to the book and gives exciting lectures. Work for your grade.
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. :)
Going through grade school you have very few teachers that make an impression on who you are and who you want to become. Dr. Barnes is one of those few. He is encouraging and compassionate and full of life. The best teacher I have ever had a chance to learn from.
Knows his stuff but seems to care more about being cool then making the material understandable.
Wonderful teacher, by far one of my favorites ever. Lays out final exam throughout the class, plenty of extra credit options, works with you on grading, and is very understanding of outside of class issues. I would definitely recommend Dr B to anyone needing to take this type of course.
Dr Barnes is a great teacher if you like to self-teach. Hes super funny and fun to be in class with, BUT he doesnt teach very much its more fun + games and for the last 5 minutes of class you highlight in your book what will be on the test. Its great if you are okay learning on your own, Im not that type of person so it just wasnt good for me
Dr. Barnes is very Pro Student!! He wants you to pass. He offers several different ways to help you learn material. Text book is your best friend. The nature walks were very informative and enjoyable.
Makes lab very interesting. Lots of fun!
He makes sure you understand the topic. He also gives extra credit for people who help clean the community which is awesome.
Hes cool
One of the best professors ever! Gives you great opportunitys for extra credit and to do community service!!
I love him. I will definitely take him for Bio 2
Cool dude
Offered good feedback and extra credit
Gives all information needed for tests and offers many opportunities for extra credit.
He gives tons of extra credit opportunities such as community service, liking and sharing his awesome YouTube channel, and much more. He lectures really well, easy to listen to, and is very caring of your success in the class. Definitely will take Brother Barnes again! Hello!!
Hes a great teacher, really random at times but thats what keeps you engaged to the lectures.
Mr. Barnes is the best science teacher Ive ever had! Very funny and caring! He makes the lectures fun which makes it easy to understand what is being taught! Gives you MULTIPLE opportunities to rack up on bonus points for the tests! Amazing teacher! I highly recommend him!
Dr. Barnes is great! He tells you to highlight exactly what is going to be on the test. As long as you study you should make an A.
He is awesome!
Very enthusiastic
Funny to a point
He was nice
Very good teacher
MY FAVORITE
Overall great class. I enjoyed the Ark Trail service project.
Great professor . Be prepared to highlight.
Funny teacher
Printed test reviews would be pretty awesome;)
He is a really good professor.
Dr Barnes is the most amazing instructor I have had this semester. His class is really easy all you have to do is study to pass
He gives you a lot of chances to get a good grade and gives a lot of extra credit. I would recommend taking this professor
Highlighting is the test
Great teacher, wow!
I really recommend this class for biology
lots of homework lots of talking about things he's done and loves. can pass the class by simply studying the text book cover to cover, but you still have to show up or F out.
Great class. Uses the book for lecture and studying. Goes off topic a lot but real fun. Very helpful and A TON of extra credit on tests. Did excursions outside of class. Community service & practical science
LOVE Dr. Barnes. All around cool dude. Just pay attention in class, go over the highlighted material, and you will pass. Easy A. He gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit as well. You can tell he is really knowledgeable about the subject. First science type class I've enjoyed in all my years of education. Love his lectures! Funny guy!
Easy class, stays interesting.
Online homework
Great �� glass
Very specific at what he teaches lives what he does and is very good at it.
Very good professor. I would say his class helped me understand a lot of things I did not know before.
AP2. 2523 Awesome teacher!!!love his energy and explains things very well and has lots of information to view online!!!
Lot of info
He is very helpful and cares so much about his students. He gives extra credit which is amazing!! I liked his class very much!
Barnes expects you to really know your work not just memorization
He teaches alot of material. It is alot to try and take in. I like the fact that he is so knowledgeable.
I would take him again. Youre doing a lot of highlighting, but at least you dont have to read the whole book. Now, you have to study to make the grade. Hes always available for questions, thats what I like about him. Hes a good guy. I made an A in A/P 1, hopefully in 2 too #Old man Barnes
Dr. Darrell Barnes is a great teacher.
really cool, chill dude.
Extra Credit opportunities are fun! We had a lot of awesome in lab activities as well. You will be highlighting half of the book and reading a lot, however Dr. Barnes is an awesome teacher who genuinely cares about his students and their futures
Had Dr. Barnes for Summer A&P Lab and Lecture. Great teacher! He really cares about the students and has desire for you to pass class. Gives lots of extra credit! There is a lot of highlighting in class and it's mostly teach yourself at home, but what we highlight in class is usually on tests. Tests are very well worded, not confusing.
Great teacher! Makes class very interesting and fun. You wont be bored.
Dr. Barnes is a great Professor! His class is very interesting. Be prepared to do a lot of highlighting!!!! Study the charts, definitions, and main points (functions,parts, etc) and you will pass his tests. The answer choices are worded very tricky on his tests, so beware! He gives a TON of extra credit for each test!! Dont take that for granted!!
I am taking Dr. Barnes for A&P 2 LAB 2521 Winter Intersession 2020, and he is by far one of the most relatable and caring instructors I've had! Even though the class lasts only 4 weeks, you will learn so much! I definitely would recommend him to anyone looking to take this class!
Dr. Barnes is a great teacher and I have learned a lot from him. I defiantly recommend taking his class. His youtube videos are very helpful also!!
Easy professor. Lots of info made available to students
I have taken Bro. Barnes (what he calls himself), for Winter intersession 2020 2521 AP2 Lab. He has so much information available, if you fail or dont make an A it is because you did not try. His YouTube videos were very helpful and informative! He is also a continous student so he is understanding.
The winter intersession A&P II class was a really relaxed and not stressful!
Professor Barnes gives a study guide for each test and goes over the material during the classes. Leaving you with the material to study for the tests. He also answers questions to help get a better understanding.
Wonderful professor
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.
