pretty good.

I am not an English lover at all, but this class wasn't too bad. The tests were hard, but I did better on the papers. Quizes every class period, easy but you have to keep up with the reading and go to class.

She is a really cool l;ady and an awesome prof. She has an interesting insight which I haven't found in other English professors. If you are trying to just "get through" your required english however, I would not take her class, you WILL have to work hard and keep up, but if you doo, it will be rewarding.

She made the class interesting by her knowledge of EVERYTHING. some of the stories we read were hard but she made it easy to understand. she gives necessary quizzes everyday but they were predictable and easy to catch onto. she gave study guides for exams so nothing was unpredictable. i got an A but worked for it.

She is interesting, but it is hard to get good grades on your papers and the topics are hard. So if you are willing to work really hard, you will probably enjoy the class, but it is hard to do well on papers.

Expect to work hard if you want an A. She's an interesting lady, but way too opinionated. She doesn't accept anyone's opinion but her own, so don't try and voice one in class. Go talk to her before each paper; she will tell you exactly what to write. Then, go and write it EXACTLY as she tells you to. I got an A, but busted my ass for it.

You will work hard for a good grade. Supposedly she claimed that she teaches lower division classes on a 400 level. She will help you with your paper before you turn it in. If you're not pleased with your grade, she will let you revise it and average the original and revised for the new grade. Her tests are not too hard, but they're far from easy.

I took 422, British Women Writers, during the summer. It was a lot of reading, esp. b/c session was five weeks, but it wasn't bad. The selections were easy to get through. We had quizzes everyday, which actually ended up a good thing b/c we used them as study guides for the final. Dr. Barrow is sweet w/ great sense of humor. I enjoyed the course.

Very very intelligent, you will learn a lot in any of her classes. Her paper topics are a little vague so you have to fish for topics. She's really nice. Be ready to read CONSTANTLY.

The class was okay. As far as teachers go, she was generally fair. Take good notes, you will need them for the massive final. She will look over your papers before you turn them in. While she won't tell you everything that is wrong, she will give you some good suggestions. If you are busy, she will give you can extension on papers.

Dr. Barrow had a very interesting class with TONS of opportunities for extra credit. She is no push-over as far as grading is concerned but it is all fair and easy to correct.

The first day of class, I thought she was very rude and full of herself, but after a few classes, I realized she wasn't rude(still a little full of herself though).If you go to class, read the novels,and have any sort of skill with expressing ideas and criticisms on paper you will do well. She will help you whenever you need it ,as well.

I loved Dr. Barrow. She knows so much about British society and culture, which made her very passionate about the subject. I felt like I learned alot from her. If you enjoy reading or just need an English class, take her!

She's an amazing teacher, very interesting discussions. Work hard, do the readings, give assignments your all, and you'll do well. The people that don't like her probably skated through high school without anyone ever telling them that they were horrible writers. She's very willing to help. You can revise one paper, as well.

She is difficult and very intimidating, but if you show her that you care about doing well, she'll provide you with really helpful advice. I highly recommend talking with her outside of class -- she'll give you really good advice on how to write a good paper. You get out of this class what you put into it.

I LOVE THIS CLASS. The material is very interesting, and Barrow is an awesome teacher. She really cares about the material and leads interesting discussions, though I can see how somehow with less interest in literature could find the work daunting. If you take this class, DO THE READING, you'll be screwed if you don't.

I enjoyed Dr. Barrow. The assignment load was reasonable and the discussions generally interesting. She encourages students to express themselves. I do not feel as if I got to know her as well as other professors, she is not especially chatty, but I do think her nice.

She grades very hard on the first paper; it gets slightly easier from then on. She requires a lot of reading out of the text book, at least 5 pages a night, but if you don't read it and can still participate in the discussion you are good to go. If you go to her office hours she can be helpful. Over all she is an okay teacher.

You do NOT need any of the books they say are required. trust me. Borrow from a friend if there's one assignment because no one does the readings and they arent counted nor helpful if you do them. I think she is a very nice lady The most important thing is to go to her office hours before every paper with a draft She's very helpful but grades hard

Great teacher. The first assignments seem awful, but it gets easier after that. Extremely considerate: if you have a problem, tell her ahead and she will work with you. Very fair and clear communication over what is expected. Relevant and practical lectures. Just do what she asks and you can't go wrong.

Really cool, genuinely wanted to know what we thought of the readings. If you write something she liked in your journal, she'll mentioned it in class and credit you. I wish it was a longer course, I want to take more classes with her in the future for sure.

Dr. Barrow was great. The course was very organized, which was a great benefit to me. I had several other professors in the same semester who were very scattered and organization was a breath of fresh air. The course load was very reasonable and her feedback was always constructive. I would suggest her to future students looking to take ENGL 360.

Dr. Barrow is a great professor. The course was well-organized (every assignment for the semester is listed in the syllabus), and the lectures were interesting and engaging. There's a fair amount of homework (weekly projects) but nothing too bad, and I actually felt like I learned a lot. You can be exempt from the final, which is a nice plus.

overall Dr. Barrow was a good teacher. My class section was about empathy which turned out to be a very interesting topic and Dr. Barrow allowed us to make our paper topics broader than just empathy. There is a lot of reading but it is for your own benefit. She offers a lot of bonus points and is very understanding about missing class. She clearly knows what she is talking about and is very helpful during office hours.

Dr. Barrow is very passionate about the subject she teaches. Attendance is preferred as attending discussion helps performance on the final exam. Reading the material is also necessary to success. If you do not enjoy reading, do not take an Intro to Fiction course. She allows one revision on 1 of the 3 papers. Utilize her and the writing center.

Dr. Barrow is an awesome teacher. If you put in the work, you'll get an A. SEE HER IN HER OFFICE HOURS FOR ANY HELP ON THE PAPER. She sees this as putting in effort and will grade a little bit more leniently if you get feedback. Plus her feedback is really good!

Dr. Barrow is wonderful at being available outside of class and gives good grades to students who demonstrate their motivation and intellect. She is entertaining, but you have to work to get a good grade, and there's a lot of work to be done. Pro tip: I would definitely recommend showing her a paper during office hours before turning it in.

I loved this class. Very self guided and clear grading instructions. You have a lot of free will in the class, and she's very personable

I took Dr. Barrow two semesters in a row, and she was a pretty solid choice. Her class is definitely not the most interesting in the world, but she is very clear about papers. She is so organized, so you always know what she expects. A little harsh, but overall just follow her rubric and you'll get an A.

Dr. Barrow is a good teacher. She definitely holds you to a higher standard because it is an honors class. To ensure a good grade on your rough drafts and papers, GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS. You have to grade yourself on participation, so try to answer questions, provide comments, and be engaged during groups and in class. She allows computers in class

Dr. Barrow is a pretty good teacher. She gives you the full syllabus for the whole semester, so try to work ahead, if possible. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS. She really helps improve your papers, and you're more likely to get an A. She lets you grade yourself on participation, so try participate enough to give yourself an A. She has reading pop quizzes.

Professor Barrow is a really good teacher; she lets you know exactly what to expect. She's also very understanding and wants to help you. She often lets class out early, too, which is a major benefit. I would definitely take her again.

Very relaxed class, grades pretty easy

She was a great teacher and put a lot of work into grading papers with good feedback.

Classes are enjoyable and interesting, but she does take attendance everyday, so don't skip. There are five short assignments, and essay, and an annotated bibliography. As long as you read the books, follow the rubrics for the assignments, and go to class, you'll be fine.

Obviously loves English and writing. Very specific criteria for papers and assignments. Very little assignments outside of papers and no extra credit, so do well. She gives good feedback and wants you to do well, but often times her comments come across as rude. Overall decent teacher, but not my personal favorite

I'm normally not a huge fan of English classes, but I really enjoyed taking Dr. Barrow's. She makes her grading criteria extremely clear and is very helpful during office hours (which she holds regularly). I also loved that she allowed us to choose our own topics for essays because it meant that I put a lot of work and care into the final products.

Dr. Barrow is so nice! She grades papers really leniently and actually gives feed back so when you revise you can make it better. She allows 4 absences. She is kind of boring but really a solid English teacher who makes it really clear what you need to do.

This course was challenging, but Dr. Barrow made it very manageable. She was clear on her expectations & always available to help with assignments. Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Barrow is always a respectful and caring professor when it comes to helping you form your research questions and papers. This class is by no means easy. However, I never found myself confused about the grade I received or what I could have developed more in my papers. She isn't easy, but she most definitely made me develop as a writer.

Dr. Robin Barrow was overall a good professor. I felt like she was fairly generous with grading and extensions. However, a large portion of the grade for the class fell into very few assignments. Additionally, lectures can drag on. She does make herself very available, and she is always down to provide feedback.

It takes a while to get feedback, but when received, it is good feedback. Office hours are spectacularly helpful. She is passionate about English and her students. If you work hard, you will succeed in the class.

Dr. Barrow is probably one of the best English teachers I've ever had. Her lectures are very interesting and the course assignments are very clear so you know exactly what she is looking for. The best thing about this course is how organized it is. Dr. Barrow is great at using canvas to post exactly what is happening each class. Loved this class!

She is a great teacher and really passionate about her work. I really enjoyed her lectures. There is a lot of reading and writing, so get ready. I would recommend going to her office hours because she gives great feedback on your papers. Overall she is an awesome teacher!

Had a lot of fun in this class. Would recommend taking Dr. Barrow. She was very organized during class and her lectures were pretty interesting.

If you want to learn how to write professionally, improve your resume, and teamwork skills take this class.

I don't get why Dr. Barrow's rating is so moderate. I really enjoyed her, and her class wasn't that difficult. If you go to her office hours or make a few scheduled appointments, it's a pretty easy A. Make sure to participate--she likes students who do. She's a solid choice and really cares about english (also the material is pretty interesting).

Easy B, but you gotta work for an A. It's not the hardest class, but you will have to apply yourself and actually do the work. If you get an A, you EARNED IT. Dr. Barrow, burnout and senioritis is not a fun combination.

While this class was not the most interesting class, it was actually not that bad. I loved Dr. Barrow. She genuinely cares about the novels we read and is very knowledgeable. However, a lot of the assignments were really boring and the quizzes were a little too specific. Overall not too hard, as long as you read or do research you will be fine.

Dr. Barrow is incredibly helpful and an amazing teacher. She shows she cares about her students in many ways (i.e. helping those who have questions about other classes, checking in on students that seem to be having a rough time, and helping to make the transition to campus life easier.) I strongly recommend taking her classes.

I don't usually like english classes, but I genuinely enjoyed Dr. Barrow's class. You can go to her office hours before a big assignment is due and she will straight up tell you what she would change about it. Very clear grading criteria listed for assignments. Exams are very similar to review material.

Dr. Barrow is incredibly sweet & she will leave nice comments on all of your assignments. She genuinely engages with classroom material, and she has a solid understanding of how to equitably support her students. Super accessible - emailed her once at 2AM and got a response within the hour. I would highly recommend Dr. Barrow!

Honestly 10/10 class, her class was pretty relaxed. There are lots of group discussions which is why I put attendance is mandatory, since it counts for participation; However you can make up missed attendance online which saved me by a lot. The work was pretty simple if you payed attention to the notes she gives online. Barely used the ebook here.

Dr. Barrow was excellent. Always quick to respond to emails. Helpful lecture videos. No textbook but there are five required novels, most of which you can find for less than $1 as ebooks. Very fast to grade work. Modules were open so that you could work ahead. I thoroughly enjoyed this course.
