She is amazing. Her English is not an issue whatsoever. She takes time to get to know her students and is willing to be lenient as long as they aren't trying to scam her. The tests were relivant as she is more concerned with the student know the processes instead of rigid pass/fail answers. I would take het again in a heart beat.

Prof. Barry is very professional, knowledgeable and attentive. You cover one chapter a week and take a quiz every week. Proctored exam and research paper. Overall very simple course if you put forth effort and do your assignments! Prof. Barry responds very quickly to emails (virtual college). Pleasant experience with Prof. Barry and would reccomend

The only reason I did not put 5 stars on easiness is because the tests are pretty long multiple choice questions, so you really have to know your stuff. I put a 5 for the book because you can literally read through it and get an A, but you really don't need it because her notes are enough. She is clear, loves questions, and is easy going grt class!

She's very intelligent. She obiously knows what she is teaching and very good at it. But not a easy A. You would have to read the book and her notes. Actually study to get an A. She's amazing teacher, she says a lot of English jokes lol she's helpful but not much of a easy class. I would recommend though . JUST STUDY !

Prof. Barry is certainly one of the best at Dade. She's college material. Her tests are a bit long (approx.50-60 ques.) but they cover every note taken in class. She provides you with great reviews and is very helpful in explaining things clearly. A few essays written in class, but easy topics. No homework, and every class is essential. MUST TAKE!

Her class is doable, but getting the A or B isn't easy. The tests are very specific, some questions are easy, some are trivial. Actually read the book, because its ALOT of stuff. And the tests are 80% of your grade, so focus your energy there. She does not curve, so don't mess up on more than one exam.

She knows her stuff and is an excellent teacher! Only downside is that her tests are 80% of your grade, the chapters are extremely long and ahe combines 2-3 chapters on a test. Make sure you read every single thing on that textbook

This msg is more prof Barry herself. Very caring prof however, the group projects n the slow pace of the class which I'm sure uve designed to help every1 in class is only hurting those who actually care about learning psych. Ur tests cover everything and only make sense if people WANT to read the book so dnt sacrifice time in class on those who dnt

This teacher is a sweetheart! She's genuinely loves teaching this subject and you can tell by the way she speaks about it. It's is not an easy class, but it's not hard either. You do have to read and know the material, but she will always let you know what is being covered. Great professor! Attendance is not mandatory, but it does help a lot to go.

Professor Barry is an amazing professor some of her lectures could be boring but she tries to make it interesting! YOU NEED THE BOOK to pass her class she reviews the chapters but you need to read it on your own to know the material. YES HER CLASS IS CHALLENGING but worth it. she really cares about her students dearly

Barry is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is sweet, hilarious and very smart. She knows what she's talking about, and answers any questions you ask (even if it doesn't relate to anything). She's there for you whether it be for school or personal matters, and is all around an amazing person. Take her class she is the best!!

She was amazing, very clear. Just do your work on time and answer every question in the discussions and essay. The book is a must. She's give a lot of extra credit. I advise you to do them because I got a 89% in her class, and I know if I did the extra credits I would have got a A.

One of the best professor's I've ever had! She's truly inspirational. She's very kind, honest and fun. She knows her stuff! Very insightful professor. If you pay attention and read ahead you will do just fine. I advise to voice record her lectures cause she sometimes can be a bit fast paced. The voices memos saved my life.

Professor Barry was amazing. I took her class last semester and I enjoyed it. Take notes whenever she repeat something because it will be on the test. READ the chapters. Homework are for extra credits and they are easy. She lives her job and make you walk out her class knowing that you learned at least one thing.

She is mostly gonna recommend a textbook, but I say there is no need. I say this, because she writes great notes on the board for the test! Tests are multiple choices! Participate, study, and come to class!

The work is hard and its a lot but she will definitely help as much as she can and she makes the assignments easier.

This profess is never available when she is urgently needed. It takes a long time to answer emails. It is not clear in the directives. She orders work with "possible"extra credits, and she doesn't give you a single point. For just two points, she closed my grade in "C" and made me do a job for extra credits that she never gave me.

Took online, fall '21. All the hw is online with the listed due dates, it was fairly easy. She would take time to ask for our opinion how to make the class better, she wants you to succeed. She is also available for office meetings on the dates she set for any help you need. 3 discussion posts. Final is online, mult. choice. Highly recommend.

This teacher is good but monotone, if you're the type to not pay attention or sleep during class you shouldn't take her. The homework is pretty simple, 2-3 chapters of homework are due every month so you have a lot of time to get things done.
