I took her online Health 190 class. The class basically consists of the readings. Teacher doesn't really get too much into debt with the students posts. It was a whatever class...some of the assignments were a lil weird to understand. Lots of reading

Had to take this class and didn't want to but it was great. barrington was online everyday but weekends. We had 90 minutes for 100 q multiple guess tests and that was easy to do. 2 discussions also easy. I had some trouble but she was available to meet with me unperson. I learned stuff, her book is good and i wont sell it. would take her again

Best teacher ever! She was a hilarious teacher and made absolutely everything interesting. She let us out early everyday and let us use our notes on the test. Her study guides were basically every question in order and if you did that you could just use your study guide when taking the test. She even let us look at the test a week ahead of time!!

For an online class, she is very clear on what she wants. Not much help otherwise-but if you read the book and concentrate on doing everything on time, she will grade fairy. You do have to do everything yourself though. She is tough, but I will take that over prof. who have limited knowledge and contradict themselves anytime. she is no nonsense.

CHECK DUE DATES! She doesn't let you retake any tests or quizzes and randomly chose to make a chapter's due date 6 days instead of the usual 10 days. I received a C in the class because of that one test and quiz I missed. It's almost like she's setting you up for failure. Very easy A though if you turn everything in on time.

BEST teacher I've ever had in college. I learned SO much in this class. The teacher is very straight forward. Read your book, Take as many notes possible, especially on statistics and such. Allowed to use notes during test, but you need a good amount of pages, and make sure u highlight key words in your notes. Do this, & EASY A. You'll Learn lots!

She is awesome! If you read the assigned chapters and take good notes, you'll pass every test no problem. Gives extra credit for surprise note checks too! Lectures basically reiterate what was in the chapter for the previous nights homework. Attendance isn't really important if you take good notes. Lots of extra credit opportunities and very clear.

Professor Barrington was definitely one of my favorite professors. The tests are all open note & she even lets you look at the test a couple days before you take it. She is a very well explainer and her stories are always so interesting. Only way your gonna pass is if you REALLY pay attention & study. Highly recomend her though :)

I highly recommend the 8-week online course for Barrington. This class is pretty straight up: read the chapters, take notes, and take the quizzes and tests. Make sure you know the terms and important %'s (for example, the % of obese Americans). Readingnote taking + quizzes, expect about 1-2 hours of work per week. She's also a very very nice lady.

Definitely choose this professor not only for your interest in Heath,since she actually wrote the college text, but for a smooth enjoyable semester. an A is easy if u do well on online quizzes and tests.! No assignments except to read, understand, and TAKE NOTES, u can use them on test. She shows tests before only if u have notes. She's awesome!

Her lectures are fun and entertaining. I can honestly say I learned more here than I have in any other class. She is a straight grader so no point in earning a B or C and asking her to up your grade. why would a college student even think that anyway??? She is very cool, very intelligent and our class had a great time with her

I had to take this class and dreaded it but it was not bad. the teach was online every week day and she required us to log in twice each week in an 8 week cojurse. Does not seem like a lot to me. She replies to emails within 24 hours and answers every question on line. She also sends out a ton of reminders so if you forget something, it is on y

Best prof I have ever had. this was online, and she sends out reminders about tests and quizzes, and sent me notes of congrats when i did well and once, when i didn't she asked if she could help in any way. i encourage anyone to take this teacher. She is truly the best i have ever had.

Wouldn't take again

I took this class as an online course, all based on quizzes and tests, we barely had two class discussions. I didn't like the fact that everything was timed.. quizzes (10 quest) 7 min and tests (100 quest) 90 min, since is health you're probably thinking is a very fair course but for me it wasn't. Even if you need 1 point to pass, she won't pass u

Could not get a better professor anywhere. She works hard, is always available by email, or whatever you want. Class is mixture of tests, (and you can use open notes!!) quizzes, online discussion and some other stuff.

great online class. there are deadlines when stuff closes but everything is open at the start of class. My class was eight weeks and i finished it in 5. there are tests, quizzes, a video discussion, and some extra credit stuff. It was all clear and easy to manage. You gotta have the text book and she wrote it. I liked the book -

had to take this class and it was good. Teacher is available by email or phone. i guess you could go to her office, too. She sends out tons of reminders, and I got a note asking if I needed help because I only got a C on a certain test. You have to read the book, there were some papers and discussions.

This class was great for two reasons: 1. All of the tests, quizzes, and assignments are available from the beginning of the course, so you can take all of them early and finish the class at any time. 2: The professor provides a lot of materials in order to make sure everyone succeeds. If you like working ahead, definitely take this course!
