Horrible professor. EXTREMELY unclear on what he expects from the class, then berates us when he doesn't like what he gets. Don't bother asking him questions, he will be very rude. Smart guy, very bad teacher.

Dr. Barrow is the most unhelpful teacher I have ever had! He NEVER answers students questions. He's often late for class (almost an hour late for our final!), but if you're late, he gets pissed.
Barrow is an unique teacher. He gives take home test and one final. He wastes a lot of time and is always late. But he still is an alright teacher.
Ahh, Barrow. Smart short man. Gets annoyed if you're late, let alone if you come to class with no book. Take him if you have no choice; he is actually not as bad as others say. - -Veritas
Dude, he's not always late, and he's doesn't get pissed when're late. I find him to be very inspiring and funny. He's cool.
man, I don't even have to attend his class and still getting an A's. Also, he is never late. U all should take him he's really easy.
Dr. Barrow is cool! He is very nice. His class is not hard at all. He knows what he is talking about and is lenient on grading. A lot of material on one test though. It was open book so it was ok.
dr. barrow was a great teacher. I think that he loved to hear his own voice. Take this teacher if you want to learn something, but for heaveens sake get a book!oh and don't ask too many questions.
Dr. Barrow is an excellent teacher. He is the first history teacher to actually make me like history. He is clear on what he wants and expects, and you can really learn a lot in his class. Take Dr. barrow if you want a great teacher.
A really really good teacher. Do your work and buy a book for the course. You will get A+. Granteed!
Plays cat and mouse. Does not care about the quality of work when it comes to research papers. All he counts is the thickness (number of pages)of the research. Very unfair to students who devote their time to genuine work and strive to learn from the experience.
Cool professor
Dr.Barrow is really easy teacher. He gives take home tests....he is a damn good teacher...by the way i was one of his favorite student...VaNiTa..haha
Gr8 teacher I've ever had. He is very easy. Just need to write as much pages as u can. He just counts thickness of the research paper and lines on each paper and plz DONOT ever forget to number ur pages. Lovely teacher... I highky recommend him.
It's easy A. Just follow what he wants and listen to what he says. I made an A and B in both classes.
he's cool and cute. He seems hard but he just pretending to. I had A and B for both classes. He never makes you to think hard or makes you have to work hard in his class. Also, he makes you scare at the beginning...but don't make him trick you. He likes students to sit in the class and listen to his lectures. Nothing he wants more than that.
Easy class. Only 3 essay tests, and 2 papers. It's an easy A, but he acts as if he's teaching an elementary class. If caught talking, he moves your seat. If you do not have a book, he fronts you out. Has an extremely smart mouth. He has 9 degrees and will not let you forget. Easy class, but not one of my favorite people.
He is so cool teacher, whenever he asks for the research paper assignment, book review make sure to give him at least 7-8 pages....all he grades u is how many pages do you have he likes more pages and will give u good grade if u have bunch of paper on one topic...thats Dr.Barrow
If u know, how to use ur book on test, u can pass his class.
Easy grade. You are allowed to use the text on every exam including the final. There are only a couple of papers and a book report due the entire semester. He's a really interesting guy and can be easily taken off subject. Just mention anything to do with African American History or the Civil Rights Movement.
His take home tests are the bomb, but he is not very clear on what you need to do. Take him and get an A. (On the take home tests, the more pages you write the better grade you get) EASY A
Dr Barrow K. is a great and best Professor that I have ever taken in my art subjects. He is jovial and lively with much experience on how to handle different characters in his class. His take home and in class exams are easy. Write as many pages as you can, number them, paragraph them. Dr Barrow K. you are a great Professor. May God bless you
get a book immediately he will front u out if u dont have one. this guy is hilarious had the class rolling, when you first see him you will laugh his hairline is gone. i got a B in his class. this is the only class i looked forward to going to hes easy but on the second test we had not gone over in class but we used are book. Takem. goes off subjec
This class is not an easy A, more like an easy B. He's confusing, does not elaborate on assignments, unclear, goes off the subject. I sat in class for 2 hrs twice a week listening to him and learned nothing. He wants you to have a book but he does not teach from it. Want an A?? Write 40 pgs for the take home midterm. Open notes final, he sucks
Wonderful teacher! Knows his stuff. Dr. Barrow appreciates students that show interest and enthusiasm and that realize what higher education means.
he is awesom. All his test are open book. You still have to do some studying but for the most part you will get an A. If you laugh at his jokes and show some participation in class you will get a FAT A! All he cares for you to do is to show him that you are a little enthusiastic!!! I love Him!!
This professor is very knowledgable in his subjects and an okay teacher. I would take him again because I found him to be easy, all test are open book. He is borring & two papers were required. He, pissed me off because he did not read either one and alot of hard work was put in, they were graded by appearance & if instructions were followed.
a refreshing change!! Dr. Barrow really enjoys teaching and it shows. I learned so much in this class about politics and life. (Pres.George Bush is ****ing us!!!!!!!!!!!!) I recommend this class and teacher. (3 open book test, 1 report and 1 book review). Easy A but you have to come to class on time!!!!1
The easiest A you can ever get!! He gives two papers in which he does not even read but just makes sure they meet the page requirement. He is funny as hell and if you dont take his class for poly science you will regret it.
Like all the other comments have stated time and time before, if you need an easy A without actually learning any of the material, Barrow is your man. He is intelligent, there is no doubt about that, but at the same time he easily gets sidetracked during lectures.
Take him if you want A.
EASY! IF YOU FAIL YOU FAILED YOURSELF!
veryyyyyyyyy EZZZZZZZZZ class! just attend his class EVERY DAY!... his tests r OPEN BOOOKKKK!!!... veryyyyyyy ezzzz 2 pass da the class with A..!
DOCTOR BORROW IS THE BEST TEACHER EVERRRRRRRRRR AND HE IS ALSO VERYYYY FUNNY .ITS AN EASY A BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE BOOK.
I have Barrow right now and his jokes are so effin lame and dull. His class is boring as heck, but it is definately an easy easy A
Dr. Barrow is awesome! Every morning he was greet us, "today is the best day evah, and tomorrow will even be betta." I love his stories. His lecture might be a little long, but it's worth taking the class. His tests are take home essays. The more you write, the better. Attendance is mandatory! Easy A.
He is a good teacher. He wants everyone to have a textbook, though you really do not use the book often. You must be prepared to write alot of papers!!I took this class during the summer, which means LONG hours, therefore I was bored; but he has a wealth of knowledge. He looks at attendance and participation.Overall, good instructor.
I took Dr. Barrow's class this summer and it was pretty good.He is strict on attendance and using your book, but the assignments were easily graded.Just turn it in on time and you should get an A. He is VERY smart and knows history. i reccommend his class if you really want to learn.
MOST DEF U NEED UR TEXT BOOK, MAKE SURE U COME TO CLASS IF U WENT TO PASS. COME WITH UR TEXT BOOK THE TEST AND EXAM U WILL USE IT IF U HAVE IT. HE IS A VERYYYYY FUN TEACHER, HE KNOWS HIS BOOK FROM BACK TO FRONT. AND HE HAVE SOMO JOKES TO MAKE FOR U GUYS. TAKE HIM IF U WENT TO GET AN A.
he is the best u can ever wish for both in history and gov't class open book for all his test and one term paper for the class.
He is very informative and he keeps you on your toes. Pay close attention to what he says. The test are a little hard if you do not read the chapters. This is a great instructor.
Simply the BEST!!!
Exceptionally nice, funny and intelligent. Yes, is long winded but as long as you're not lazy and do your work, you're guaranteed an A for effort.
He is really passionate about teaching. He is really funny and sweet. You will need to purchase your book. His test are open book, but can be a little difficult if you do not read the chapters and take great notes. This is an easy A if you follow all of his directions.
Dr. Barrow is the most passionate teacher I've ever encountered at Georgia Perimeter. He really cares about you and wants you to succeed. He's very smart, has 9 Masters degrees and a doctorate, was a litigator, and is a expert at Jurisprudence. You will learn a lot from him, plus he's very funny and keeps you entertained!
I LOVE DR.BARROW!! I have never met a professor that is as understanding as he. He actually CARES about the success of his students. He should recieve an award for his passion for teaching. Anyway Everthing is pretty much open book so be sure to have it. There is no reason to fail this class unless your just plain Lazy! Bottom Line TAKE HIM!! :)
Dr. Barrow is very intelligent. He is very easy and lets students use the book for just about anything. Just be sure to have the book. Class is a lecture so its a little boring. Research paper is also an easy A. Just do it on a president. Don't stress about this class.
Dr. Barrow is one of the best prof. he knows his history, he is smart. take his class and you will get an A. i give him A++++++++++++.
This dude is hilarious, intelligent, n so educated (no seriously, he has like 5 or 6 degrees, ask him)! 2 open book tests and one paper and please put effort into the paper bc that is one thing u will ever really need to put effort into for his class, dont insult him. And come to class just to make him happy, he might remember that when u nd him 2.
The funniest-best professor ever. Let's you use your book on everything. One research paper and only three test the entire semeter. He'll definitely have you laughing. Most classes are just lectures but its really easy to pass the class. I'd take him again if I could.
Dr. Barrow is one of the best teachers at GPC for History. His passion for the subject is superb. There were two take home exams, a book review, a research paper, and a final exam. I recommend taking him. Easy A if you do your part.
Professor Barrow is okay. He had 3 take home examinations, one research paper and book report. Make sure you attend class, he makes the class harder when you don't show up for class. His final is pretty hard, and he's not always clear on what he wants you to do. He's not the best but he't not the worse.
he is the Best!!! two take home exams, they are long but very easy and i got an A! one book review which is easy as well. and one research paper which is easy! the final he gives us the topics one week before and we can use notes on the final! super easy. if u dont take him then u will regret it. easy A. make sure u attend class.
Awesome man easy to take just do the work. I took him Fall of 2010
Great teacher. Gives two take home test, research paper, book review and of course final. Mandatory that you attend class, he doesnt like it when you dont come. Pay attention and you'll pass. Take him.
Dr. Barrow is a wonderful teacher and is very passionate about the subjects he teaches. I feel that he passes his enthusiasm onto the class. His lectures were so engaging and he always manages to make me laugh or smile. I had little interest before I started this class, but he changed my mind. I plan to take him again for history.
Dr. Barrow is an intelegen professor I took both histry with him and i learned a lot He leactuers are so good and he is funny He made us love all the time there was one girl in both class with me Dr Barrow used to call her Miss Kabul or Miss Afghanistan i dont know if she was real Miss or Barrow give her the name but she was very beautiful take him
I'm taking this class now i'm not sure about my grade,but so i'm on "A".He is easy "A" He talks off topic and he ignore you and rarely answer your questions.He has a great passion to teach ,but he doesn't know how to teach. Don't take notes,just read the book becuase it is open-book exam.two tests each 40 questions and 1paper and 1final.
He is a very great professor. He teaches very well and makes you learn it. He definetely knows what he is talking about. I would recommend him to anyone who will try hard and show up every time to his class.
I would definitely recommend this professor. His method of no nonsense in his class or you will miss an opportunity to learn is needed across the nation because it ensures the student focuses on learning and no distractions.
Took an American Government class with him. He is so intelligent, sometimes its easy to get lost in lecture but I highly recommend him, very good.
He's such a character. He always comes in the room, writes on the board w/out saying anything & only after he is done, he says "Good morning, today is the best day of your life & tomorrow will be even better..." The 3 exams r essays, just use the correct MLA format & Length & you'll b fine. Very easy. He's kind of funny & so energetic/passionate!
Mr.Barrow is kind, interesting, and gives essays.Mr. Barrow is surely this teacher. He is a good example for teachers everywhere.When I first went to college I thought all professors would be like him. His downsides are a mildly heavy accent and frequent allusions that skirt tangent catagory. he gets things done on time despite this.
pretty easy ... show up, review, the book,take notes of the stories "related" to the info in the text..it will help your with the book review and some test questions..
His Am. Gov. Class is ridiculous, but def an easy A. The man "teaches", by reading definitions from the textbook and then goes of topic with irrelevant anecdotes. The tests are open book, but he goes over less than 30% of the chapters for each test. This makes going to class kinda pointless, but he penalizes you for not coming. So ridiculous.
This class sucks. Before taking it, I had sufficient interest in learning about political science and American government, but I literally have learned NOTHING. His lectures are extremely tangential to the subject; He talks more about the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal than he does about anything else. Yuck. Attendance mandatory!
EASY A FOR SUMMER SESSION..It takes a special person to understand Professor barrow. He is 98 years old and is hilarious. I didnt learn alot from the book, BUUT he taught me so much about life from sitting in his class. i love this man he is so special
You will learn nothing from lecture but it is mandatory and you must have the book even though you dont use it. Class is easy but very time comsuming. All tests are take home. About 20pgs each. So is the midterm and final. Easy but takes time. Grades harshly on format.
Very good teacher. He is funny likes to get off topic quick but is an easy teacher
Dr.Barrow is a very organized prof.He's very knowledgeable and always come to class organized.He's an easy "A" if you follow his instructions.I learned alot from his class.He always says "today is the best morning of the year and tomorrow would even be better".
Dr Borrow is a good teacher, hilarious, like to go off topic but I will recommend for summer.
He wants all his students to do well. His teaching style is lecturing like he's telling a story. If you listen not only do you learn about making connections with the pass and the present, but you'll learn some life principles. Come to class with textbook and notebook on desk ready to take notes even if you don't. Assigns a papers, follow specifics
Barrow is an easy professor. All he do is talk and he only gives five assignments for the semester. He takes attendance but you can show up the last 30 minutes of class and he will mark your present. He is also an easy grader. Looking for an easy class? Take Barrow.
EASY PROFESSOR.!!!. Talks all day in his class. Give 2 papers all year, all tests including the final are open book/notes. Find people who have taken for advice
one book review, one research paper, participation in class and 3 open book tests , easy A
If you're taking this class because it's required and you have no interest; take barrow! You just sit in class and let him talk. Open book/note tests. Ask students for answers to final/test he never changes them. If you want to take him early just show up the last 40 minutes of class and he'll count you as present. Super easy! Really nice!
If you need to pick between him and Robert King; pick Robert King if you want to learn and master the material or if you need to take another government class/political science major. if you just need to pass it because it's required, take Barrow! He's really simple, laid back, very nice, not a lot of work. Two papers, open tests. Do it!
Barrow is a great teacher he tries to relate his lectures to his outside life very funny and not a tough teacher do extra credits and pay attendion the man knows a lot go material regarding this topic and its pretty obvious he likes the subject
Barrow is an amazing professor. TAKE HIM! His work isnt hard! He helps you along the way. He gives good life advise during class and tells funny storys! I did not buy the book and earned an A!
Barrow is a solid teacher, the only thing i would say is that Barrow is unable to stay on task. due to talking about a topic to jumping to another in a matter of second. This can be hard due to the class being a little boring.
He is one of those teachers that lectures about everything except for what is going to be on the test. He gives you general study guides and there are two essays but you'll get an A on them as long as you follow the guidelines.
Barrow is an easy A. All you have to do is show up to class and do your work. He has a great grading system and doesn't require too much. He honestly cares about his students and works to inspire them.
He so easy and really smart. You shooting yourself in the foot if you not taking him lol.
His syllabus is not very clear, but he explains beforehand. The study guide mostly covers everything on the exam. Book is req to study. He motivates one to be the best! Absolutely loved his class!
Unclear syllabus; Low-Key Funny; Take the book for show, he doesn't like seeing people without their book; no homework; 4 exams including final; easy book report & research paper; gives studyguides; class consists of pure lecture, no PPT; He's very nice!
Dr. Barrow is the easiest teacher ever. To some, his personality can be a contrast. In my experience he was very pleasant. The assignments were painless and uncomplicated. Just show up, because attendance does matter (and only halfwits dont show up to classes they paid for) If you dont pass his class with an A, you literally are a dunce.
Dr. Barrow is the best professor ever. Even though he does not have a proper syllabus. But he is funny and chill back. Take your book just for show. Exams are SUPER easy. Take your 4 exams, write a research paper, and pass. If you take his class and dont pass with an A you are wasting your time. Taking POLS or HIST class? Dr. Barrow is the go to
Class was very easy, if you show up you will pass. Test are extremely easy. His lectures are all over the place, however it was evident that he cares for his students and wishes the best for them. If you have the opportunity, take his class! You will get an easy A!
