Does not give homework And without homework you dont learn what you are doing wrong as you go. The class is very exausting and he is hard to understand. If you are like me and need to be taught what to do dont take this class.

he is an **** and he does not know how to teach. He stands up there and talks just to hear himself talk. He talks in the most monotone voice you have ever heard and i can not stand the dip****. Most people skip his class and seek help just to learn

This teacher SUCKS!!! He doesn't know how to teach this subject at all. All of his worksheets have errors in the answers and he is very unhelpful and unclear. Don't take him if you can avoid it!!!!

This class was horrible!

TERRIBLE>. cannot tell you how terrible he was! He made me cry once for asking a question. He told me my work one time was "pure unmitigated junk". He is terrible. He looks like The Nutty Professor.. when he is fat. He is just aweful. Don't t

Mr Barber is a smart man and unsterstands math very well. Unforunitly for us students he doesnt understand how to teach it. He is unclear and unhelpful to students who have problems w/ math. Only take him if u are very stong at math.

Ever wonder what would happen if Barry White and the Ben Stein (the Visine eye's guy!) where to become one person? Well here's the result! His voice is deep like Barry and more monotone than Ben! If you need a nap & don't want to learn this is your cl

Oh god he's terrible.

He knows it, but can't seem to teach it. He has a monotoned voice that drones, then - BOOM - yells about something! Oh, my ears! He treated us like idiots, very intimidating.

he gets lost when he's teaching and he knows his stuff he just can't get it across to students, he's VERY unclear and isn't that helpful if you dont understand what mistakes you made. He spent too much time on easy problems and didn't emphasize the harder equations like he should have so during the test you would be lost... just like in class when

He's a horrible teacher. He was very unclear in my class... most of the class ended up dropping his course. He goes nuts with your test on taking off points, he gets angry with it and deducts more and more as the test goes on. Very unfair and unclear professor. He just cannot teach nor convey what he is thinking

By far the worst professor i've ever had, very unclear and unwilling to correctly answer a student's question. The tests were somewhat difficult, and the professor had the whole class in a daze a half-hour into the period.

Absolute worst teacher I've had in my life! You're more confused when you leave his class than if you hadn't came at all! He wastes your time. He talks just to hear himself. He's completely unhelpful and makes you feel stupid for asking questions. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS!

He is the worst teacher I have ever had. He doesn't review material and has a terrible teaching method. He tries to cram way too much information into short periods of time and expects you to teach yourself.

Awful teacher. He knows a lot about math, but has no clue how to teach. The tests were way harder than the homework and the tests make up the entire final grade. Seriously awful, stay away from this guy.

I suggest not taking this class. He rambles in class about what we will be doing, what we are doing wrong, and that we need to move faster, but he never actually moves faster or teaches.I had him for an 8:30 AM class and he was late every day.If you need this class as a pre req. just wait to take it because you will not learn what you need to.

Worst teacher I've ever had by far! I have 72 credits and he's the only teacher I've ever received less than a 4.0 from. He continuously talks about what he's going to teach but never actually teaches. He stairs at the ground the entire class period and yells at you like you're stupid. Would never take him again!

He is the worst teacher that I had ever had. He is not clear at all and will not help anyone if they ask him a question. He is so lazy he doesn't want to answer questions because it means he will have to do something. He never uses the book and gives handout after handout. All he does is talk about how the book sucks and the authors of the book are

Horrible teacher

Class was just stupid he would be up there getting all worked up about mistakes that people make on his test and didn't explain things very well so I was confused most of the course.

Horrible professor, Did not learn one thing in the class. Did not use the book one time. Did not know how to teach. Goes off in his own little calculator and equation world. First hour of class all he talks about is math vocabulary that no one knows what. Then runs out of time to teach for the other hour. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TEACHER. PERIOD

2nd week of class, and I get the feeling it's up to me to teach myself the material. At this point I only show up to find out when the tests and quizzies are, because there are no set dates. Very un-organized "teacher" I use that term loosly because, he spends more time complaining about the most random things instead of teaching content.

Worst professor ever!!!

Terrible teacher. Just about done with the semester, he planned on having 5 exams and 9 online. We have less than a month left and have only taken one test. Complains about the author of the book a lot. VERY boring. If you take the class, don't feel obligated to go to class because you'll have to teach yourself anyway

The most horrible teacher that I have ever had here at Mott. I would definitely not recommend him to anyone. Good teacher he is just soo slow at teaching. He talks about god know what the first half of the class. And he hands out too many handouts instead of actually teaching what has to be taught to pass the class

BORING BORING BORING! Talks the full time and maybe 25% of the time is material, no group work, only good thing i would say is that he hands out packets and there is no need for the book when I took his class. He repeats himself on everything. and when a question is asked he will dodge the question and give a 30 min lecture on nonsense

He will literally yell at you every single class period. If you do one thing wrong in your work but get the answer right, no credit for you. Have fun if you get him and plan on studying every day.

Beware! He does not explain the material well. If you ask him to go over it again he gets frustrated and yells. I would NOT advise taking him.

Took this class as a refresher after being out of high school. Absolutely the worst math teacher I've had, I don't believe he understands the concept of "teaching". If you got stuck in his class, expect to be teaching yourself from the book all semester.

Offers extensive homework but grades none of it. More packets delivered than textbook used. Showed rude attitudes towards questions in class especially when he deemed it to be remedial or of trivial difficulty to himself. Has four tests final one in two parts one being standard second being cumulative. Demands all work shown, and done in his manner

Here's the thing, to math majors this guy can be a gem. He uses fancy terms and goes into mathematical rants all of the time. If you knew what he was talking about you would probably like him. BUT, most of his students aren't math majors... Nor do we understand his terminology. He also does an extremely poor job of explaining what you're doing!

Really really hard grader. Have to show work on everything. It's either his way or the highway. Worst math teacher I've every had.

Terrible at explain things, just awful, you would have better luck going to the math lab and have them explain it to you (oh and by the way he discourged our class from going there, saying "they don't know that they're doing over there).

Talks about non-sense for over have the class period and expects you to learn

This professor has a hard time staying on a single subject. He gets excited and will veer off on to subject discussed in future calc classes. He doesn't seem to be organized at all. He doesn't appear to have a schedule which he teaches off of. He, doesn't use the book in lecture but hw is from the book. Hope he teaches whats in the book.

Has a very hard time keeping on topic. I used to keep tally marks everytime he ranted on about the weather, politics, or his Calc 1 class. Very hard to follow. Get ready to teach yourself the entire semester!

Professor Barber sucks as a professor I would NOT ever recommend taking him. He yells and complains about his students for an hour before starting class. Expects you to already know everything about the class and will scream at you if you ask a question. WORST professor also comes in late everyday.

Don't bother with the book since if you try and do things its way he will fail you. Half of the final consisted of problems that were never discussed during class. Absolutely ridiculous. Do not take a class taught by him unless you already understand everything in said class.

This prof SUCKS. Do not take his classes especially if it is online. He only grades on exams and does not give homework. It is easy to get behind. He talks very slow so it is hard to stay involved when listening to his online lectures. Would not recommend him. Get in any other professor's class if possible.

I would not take from this professor again. The section I took was a WCA section and those shouldn't have zoom sessions. But when he did schedule the, he scheduled them two hours before they started, at 11pm, and over spring break. He didn't give any pop quiz's, or tests in-between bigger exams.

This professor is the most contradicting professor I have ever had. Likes to single out students and give horrible grades because he can't pick one thing he says correctly. Just awful. I wish I read the reviews before having him. I am not even done with the course and I came here to write about him to warn other before joining any of his classes.

Rodney Barber is an awful professor. He does NOT respond to any emails and gives zero feedback, he assumes you to learn the test criteria without homework assignments and without feedback on a said homework assignment. So how do you know whats right and what's wrong? He does not listen to his classmates at all! All he says is to look at the book...

Your overall grade is only based on exams which makes it very hard to pass the class because there is nothing to outweigh a bad percentage. His lectures are sooooo boring and way too long and never emails back. He would forget his own exam dates and would take almost an entire week to give back exam grades.

I forgot to rate this professor a few semesters ago but this was easily the worst math teacher I've had in my life. Gives an ungodly amount of homework and grades none of it. Good luck trying to stay awake in his lectures, I know I couldn't. I've always been at least 2 years ahead in math, but this "professor" made me feel like a neanderthal. AWFUL
