Not very clear when she's explaining something that you will need later on for a test. She is a very indecisive person. Sometimes a particular lecture could be interesting, other times we would get tedious assignments. I was so excited about this class BEFORE I met her!

Her lectures are boring and lets you out early. She only allows some students to do make up work or extra credit. She teaches like she hates everyone and the topic. She will embarrass you!! I failed by a tenth of a point, and she announced it to the class. Save your money.

stupid freaking teacher, she blabbles on about nothing that has to deal with the chose, does not teach you a thing and then expects you to be able to answer all her questions, tests are hard, reading material is dry and there is a lot of it

This teacher sucks. She talks about her life story the whole class, and her tests are so confusing, she gets confused when we question her about the multiple choice questions. she cant even answer her own questions!!! what a horrible teacher.

don't take her because she is very hard and unfair. she is the most horrible teacher that i had.

SHE IS WACK!!!!!!!! She sucks at communicating with her students..wants everyone to drop if you failed her first test. Which by the way her tests are really hard! Overall DO NOT TAKE HER!!!

This prof. is awful. Dont take her

She is Horrible...

Taking this course significantly lowered my GPA. I am typically a straight A student but her teaching (although I still think she is a great & interesting person) is not good and kind of lazy. She doesn't explain well and help you succeed.. very unclear.

absolutely awful women. I truly believe she enjoyed failing students. loves to make you feel stupid when you ask a question. never received anything below a b+ prior to this, and got a c. I would recommend switching the class or dropping it until you can take it with a different professor.

OMG just OMG! I am taking her ANT class now and i know I will definitely not do well. She is absolutely useless in explaining things. I wish I had taken the chance of dropping this class :(

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES WITH HER!!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

This is the worst professor. Never take her class. Does not help clarify readings in class. Does not answer questions. Will not go over information she assigned to read for next class. Yells. DONT TAKE HER CLASS

She wants to fail her students. I have never seen a professor who actually tells the entire class to re-take the class because they are all going to fail. So, DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER!

Took her class for graduation. She favors students, and if they are like her, give them a free ride A (overhead a student say that) otherwise everyone else gets a B or a C. She's the reason I get panic attacks now. Her tests are hard, and you loose points on her papers if they don't fit her views. Shes a true nightmare, I'll never take her again.

horrible professor! she completely humiliated me by yelling out in front of the whole class I was failing. She is extremely rude and doesn't care about her students. If you are not doing well in her class she doesn't encourage you to do better. If no one reads the articles for class she doesn't teach and sends everyone home.

This was the worst teacher I've ever encountered. She's not helpful, not respectable, she yells, she called the class stupid on multiple occasions and she's downright mean. Stay away from this teacher (if you can call her that) to the best of your abilities.

This woman was terrible. So judging on everything the students say to her. Everyone that has taken her class including me hated her. She is just awful.

Awful, awful teacher. Takes terrible notes, forgets what she tells the class. Won't admit mistakes. Lady is very unclear and actually admitted more then once that she forgot to mention certain things, but still didn't give the class there points back. Worst teacher I've encountered so far, anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong, trust me

Let's put it this way... SHE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!

Will put information she never talked about on tests, tests are hard. Yells a lot and is not helpful at all if you visit her office hours. If some classmates didn't read the articles she assigns, which are ridiculous, she wont go over them and then will out questions referring to the articles on the test. Dreaded going to this class for an hour

Honestly do not take this teacher. She does not respect students as human beings and will go on rants about anything; before you know it the class would end, you would learn nothing and she will put things on the test that are nowhere in the readings...

This professor is one that I strongly recommend switching out as soon as possible. She has a very nasty attitude and will have no problem saying such things like you guys shouldn't be able to vote because you're stupid. (When we were all just scared to answer her because she'll scream in your face) I was the best in the class and I still got a C

Professor Barber expects all of her students to be as intelligent as someone with years of anthropological experience. I put more time and effort into this class than my core biology and chemistry classes, and I still got a C+! (The only C on my entire transcript.) I ONLY took her because SCCC switched my professor, and I couldn't drop without a W.

This Professor is terrible! I never go by this website but when I actually did and went too see what kind of comments this lady had, they were awful and every comment was very accurate on how she is! Get her out of suffolk!!!

Horrible. Never met a professor who was so disrespectful and immature. Tells her students that they're stupid, and idiots. Isn't clear on instructions. I walk out of the class learning nothing. Do not recommend.

Let's put it this way. I'm not even in Suffolk anymore and I still would not recommend her to any student. She completely humiliated me in class one day up to the point where I began to cry and I will never forget what she did to me.

Terrible Professor! Very rude to her students and thinks that everyone should know as much as her on the topic. If you do not read the articles she will skip the review and call everyone in the room stupid. Averages the tests and the papers and that is your grade. After 2 absences she will automatically drop you from the class.

She gives you 5 essays to write and the topics are almost impossible unless you're an Anthropologist. If you need help writing she has office hours, but she just tells you whats wrong, not give you a reason why and send you towards failure. I got a 38 on an essay and she said "Don't feel bad it was 1 of the best in the class" How is she teaching???

By far the worst professor i've ever had. Most annoying voice, horrible lectures, and only talks about herself

Never in my life have I worked harder for a B. Prof. Barber is just plain mean. Tests are impossible, you must read the textbook for hours just to pass. At the end of the semester she gives final grades, and yells out your grade for whole class. Because of this I know she only gave out 1 A. For a class of 30!! A classmate even complained to dean.

There is an expectation to read between the lines. This makes knowing the answer to a question impossible. This class was frustrating and very difficult. Although, I learned, the style of learning was not good. This class was the first class I considered dropping and it didn't seem to matter much. Students were encouraged to drop and just give up.

This professor was by far the worst professor I have ever taken at Suffolk. She was rude, inconsistent and just straight up mean. She is the most harsh grader I have ever encountered, especially for a entry level course. She did not help the class with any issues you have, instead she would just say to read the textbook and call us idiots. Horrible

Grades very hard and is rude sometimes to the class

Worst professor ever.... like how do you fail anthropology ??? Never take this lady

Although it's somewhat of the first few weeks for me, I can already tell after a failing grade of "0" on a paper that I know for sure was not worthy of it let alone rightfully given by her "fair" grading. She clearly doesn't grade her papers mostly on the objective itself and mostly on either small spelling errors or depending on her mood that day.

Really disappointed on how this person grades. She cares more about tiny spelling errors than the entire objective of her paper assignment. She's not an English teacher and yet she complains about grammatical errors more than anything. She needs to learn how to properly grade papers based on context and what the paper asks NOT what she wants.

Do not take this teacher if you want to pass she wont drop lowest test grade. Makes fun of you when you get a wrong answer will tell everyone your grade. Give a bunch of homework. Do not take this teacher

This class was honestly so rough. Not only was the material hard but the way she taught the class. Personally dealing with her, one minute she said I'm doing great in the class, and the next, she tells me that I don't have a chance of passing based on ONE test. She was very degrading and made me feel like I didn't have what it takes to succeed.

do yourself a favor and just don't...... don't.

Made me feel like I was worth nothing when she gave me my grades the way she does it she'll have you go right in front of the class to her desk while she reads you off your grades so everyone can hear.

Undoubtedly one of the worst professors i've EVER had!!!!!!!! I'm more concerned for her than I am my grade. I've never seen such little power affect someone's ego so much. She doesn't actually teach students, she expects them to know the material and is angry if you don't. She doesn't know what respect or kindness is. The opposite of inspiring.

I took her class because I needed the credit for a social science so I decided to take cultural anthropology. I only sat through 3 of her classes and before I dropped it. The first class all she did was belittle and make fun of the freshmans in the class. & She gets side tracked easily. All in all do yourself a favor and just dont for your sake.

Horrible! All I can say is don't take her class. I only went to two classes before I decided to drop it. Its not worth it. She acts like its Harvard university but its Suffolk. I questioned if she was out of her mind in those first two classes. Really condescending and has heavy workload. Even in the first two classes! I did myself a favor and drop

One time I mistakenly did the wrong assignment because she decided to change it in the announcements section and not the assignment section, so me and many others did the "wrong assignment". When she got back to me to let me know, she was nothing but rude, I quote "first of all, you did the wrong assignment, do you even read the announcements?"

The professor dropped me because I did the first week assignment wrong and missed the second assignment waiting for the book, counted as a two week absence, not a very understanding teacher. AVOID CLASS IF YOU CAN!

One of the most horrible professors Iv ever had i couldnt afford the textbook so I got a different version apparently the work was all wrong tried to make it up but all she told me was to drop this class she gave me a panic attack for two days straight one of the worst professors Iv ever had run

To define Linda Barber, you'll most likely be forced to tolerate her hypocrisy during assignments, emails, and her daily 'motivating' announcements that takes up half of Blackboard. In other words, she's an online professor with back-handed compliments even to those who manage to be on top of things. Btw if you're wrong, expect '...' in ur emails..

Linda messed with my homey, zero stars.

I learned way more from the students in class than miss poodle herself. Thank you

holy miserable worst grader in the world. wayyy to tough for just being an anthropology class. took this class to fill my schedule and ended up being the worst and hardest class i took. if youre taking this for an easy class dont even think about it.
