Good lecturer, knows his stuff + good, dry sense of humor keeps class fun. Tests straight from lectures. No surprises.

straight forward with notes and tests but is not a good class to take over the summer due to the amount of material that must be learned in such a short period of time.

I took his web-course over the summer and I thought it was a pretty easy course. He does require you to write three papers that answer questions about the material you read. I ended up writing at least 20 pages for each of these papers. Knows his stuff.

I've had this teacher for both Humanities I and II, I took II over the summer. He really knows his information and does a great job of presenting it, be prepared for lots of notes, but tests are drawn directly from them and his study guide, you can finish most of them in 17 minutes.

Dr. Barineau is an extremely knowledgeable professor who has personally visited many of the places he teaches you about. Be ready to take a motherload of notes though (3-4 pages per class). His tests are not that hard as long as you take good notes and listen well to his lectures. He's funny too.

Great teacher! His lectures (powerpoint slides) are extremely helpful if u take notes. He makes class really interesting. Don't be late though, he takes points off. U have to write a paper but it's really easy bc it's basically answering a bunch of questions. I took him twice and passed with a B!!

This was a web-based class-he hooked us up with the writing assignments-all you do is read and answer questions-then study your study guides that he provides using your Q&A's and you can ace tests and class-no papers

I also took his class over the summer and there is a LOT of work involved, but if you do it, you will do well on the tests...he is very helpful and knowledgeable if you have any questions. I would highly recommend this class as a web class. The material is straight from the book.

His classes were the most interesting that I have ever taken. He has pictures and visual for every subject. If you plan on taking his class, don't take it too early because you will have to write a lot of notes. You will know exactly what notes to take and what to study from the guides.

Dr. Barineau was one of the best professors that I ever had at TCC. He was extremly clear in what he expected from his students and therefore many people succeeded with good grades. He has really mastered his craft of teaching and I would recommend him to any student.

Enthusiastic, tells jokes, and makes it entertaining and interesting. The study guide has ALL the material that will be on the test. The only work is the multiple choice tests and a 3000 word writing assignment on reading questions that I would highly recommend doing a few questions each night instead of all at once...ahem. Very good teacher.

very kick ass teacher,...its not hard to want to come to class he makes it sooo much fun! provides voices, characters and music, not hard just follow the study guides and alls well that ends well.

great teacher, just turn your cell phone off before you get in class, just trust me. great teacher teaches well. I wanted to take his class again, I wish there was a humanties 3 or something.

Great teacher!!! definitely take this teacher!!! He is fair and very interesting!! good sense of humor too!!! Decent tests!!!

crazy

What's the deal with the student who is suppose to upodate these Ratemyprofessor pages? What a lame person. Some of this stuff is sooo old and not up to date...Okay, in regards to Barineau, he's cool and you should take him if you need a humanities class. He's really good! I really enjoyed his class.

web based class. He gives you writting assignments that consist of answering alot of questions. At first it seems like alot of work but once you start you'll find the answers all flow together. By answering the questions you fulfill the writing requirement. Though the test is timed if you study the answers to the writting assignments it'll be easy

Lectures were good, full of energy and flowed. You are only graded on 3 tests and a paper, so there is not much room for error. The tests are multiple choice, you really need to know the artists names and their history. If you keep up with his study guides and study, you will do fine. Just know it wont be an easy A.

Web Based class. Awesome teacher. The writing assignments do seem like a lot at first, but it's really not. If you study with the writing assignments, the tests should be easy. Great teacher!!

I am taking the online version of World Religions over the summer (2007)& am extremely satisfied. There is a lot of work to do, but as long as you keep up with it the tests are easy. There are 15 "Writing Assignments" but it is basically just a ton of questions you have to answer which prepare you for the exams.

I took his class over the summer...and loved it, he makes learning fun & interesting. Yes he is strict with attendance and cell phones, but come on how hard is it to come to class and turn of your cell phone! Take him if you want a challenging learning environment and not just to skate through your college career.

Took the online version, was incredibly easy. All of your study guides/assignments are available immediately. If you do the assignments there is no reason you can't make an A. He was very responsive to questions and easy to speak to.

Dont slack off of the work, i learned that late in the semester. He gives you all of the answers to the tests, so use it. I found it was best to get in a group make make sure u have all the answers to the study guide he gives you. that study guide is the test. But it does suck that he puts the test question out of order

At first, he seems like a jerk but that slacks off. He has a wonderful sense of humor even though he tries to act tough, he's far from it. Just dont be a minute late or he'll make you feel REAL stupid, & DO NOT let your cell ring, or even vibrate! Ask questions & print off the reviews & take them to class! Thats the test right in front of you!

Such a fun guy! Attending the lectures is necessary, but I always enjoyed class once I got there. Not a difficult A at all. It was really nice having such a character for a teacher.

STUDY NOTES TO PASS

study the study guide and you will do great. he actually is funny. DO NOT BE LATE OR HAVE YOUR CELL PHONE ON! he will go crazy on you, lol.

Good teacher. Lectures straight from powerpoints that he posts on blackboard. Print off the study guides and you'll do fine on the test. His tests are all multiple choice. He also gives 3-4 writing assignments which are pretty simple. Dont be late though or walk out early, and turn your phone OFF!

Very strict about cell phones and being late/leaving early. Shows fun movies and clips before class. Dry sense of humor applied to lectures (ppt). Personal responsibility is very important here! Very knowledgable about what he teaches. Nice Guy!

VERY EASY!! U DONT HAVE 2 ATTEND CLASS 2 PASS. JUST PRINT THE STUDY GUIDE,SPACE IT OUT,N STUDY THE Q'S AND A'S,U WILL HAVE AN A. NO NEED 2 BUY THE BOOK,DOES EVERYTHING FROM HIS POWERPOINTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS ON BLACKBOARD. DONT COME IN LATE OR LEAVE EARLY, AND TURN YOUR CELLY OFF!! HE DOESNT LIKE 4 STUDENTS 2 ASK Q'S!! TRUE SMART ASS!!!

Professor Barineau is great! I loved his class and the information he covered. He likes students who are responsible and punctual. Attendance is mandatory and there's 3 papers throughout the course. Very good class. Just be sure to take good notes, come to class on time and pay attention...you'll learn something new every time.

Attendance was not necessary but his lectures were pretty intereting. All he goes over in class is posted so book wasnt needed either. The bad thing, though, was even after memorizing the study guides he provided i feel like he deliberately made the tests hard and detailed.

Web-based class; lengthy assignments but easy to find in the book

I took him for 1 & 2 and i really enjoyed his class. no need to go to class since he posts all the lectures on BB nor any need to buy the book, just fill in the study guide. his tests are all MCQ & he gives 3 papers. he's a good teacher & is humorous. i totally recommend him!

Well I didn't like him much at first, but he gets nicer farther along in the semester. He has powerpoint slides that he puts online;come on how easy is that! I just studied the notes and made an A every time! He is one of the most straight forward teachers at TCC. He makes clear what material is on the test and he grades papers rather easy.

Very easy course! I took him over the summer and he is very straight forward! He tells you what he expects and if you study then you will do great! DO NOT HAVE YOUR CELL PHONE OUT AT ALL!! That is his pet peeve!!

Very easy course!!I recieved an A on everything but the last test, which was a B. Study the study guide and you should have no problem. Attendance does not matter but if you come to class late, or disturb class about 3 times he will drop you. PLEASE PUT YOUR PHONES UP AND ON SILENT(NOT VIBRATE)!!!! If you go by all of this you too will recieve an A

Super straight forward teacher. Study the study guide and you should make atleast a B. Taking him again for HUM2230. Put your phones on silent and dont leave the class early or come in late.

The power points that he has every class can be a little dull but the information is interesting. His class is very easy because there are only 3 test and 3 writing assignments. He only takes attendance on the first day but some of the material he says only in class can be on the test. I will be taking him to finish my humanities credit.

One of the best teachers I have had at TCC so far. His tests come straight from his study guides, so just study that. Also make sure you do the writing assignments that he assigns. Otherwise take him if you are taking humanities.

Took his online class over the summer and enjoyed it a lot! All the material is off of his powerpoints. It was a lot of work for each section but easy. His tests were relatively easy but the time to take them in was very short. If you do the work required its not hard to make a good grade in this course.

If you want to learn something, take his class! He has experience and reflects his experience on his teaching. It is an easy teacher as long as you keep studying. The only two negative things about him are that he seems scary and that he does not check the writing assignments (another professor does), so you cannot receive feedback from him.

Complete the study guide well in advance and do the writing assignments in advance and you should at minimum get a B. Not all that helpful, but he is fair.

wonderful online curriculum. I got confused with some of the timings of the tests, and he gave me extensions on two of the tests, gives out study guides and writing assignments to help prepare you for the tests.

Writing assignments are study guides for each test. With very minimal studying, I got a B in this class.

Despite the negative reviews Dr. Barineau is not as mean as depicted. I took both HUM2210 & HUM2230 this summer & passed them just fine. He tries to ensure that those who are there to learn are able to do so by having rules to follow, mainly turning off cell phones. If can't live without your "precious" phone,then this is not the class for you.

People are mistakening his "meanness" for strictness. You'll learn a lot, but this isn't an easy A. Study guides and notes are on BB. YOU MUST GO TO CLASS IN ORDER TO PASS! He grades strictly on the essays. 5 grades total - fail one and you fail the class. With effort I passed with a B. Admittedly, I was disappointed with how hard I worked.

I am not too sure why so many people have issues with him. His online course was very simple. He had 10 handouts that you read directly from the book to answer questions, and 3 tests. Yes, there is work to do, but it's not hard in any form or fashion.

He is very enthusiastic about his subject. You should write your notes from class directly on the study guide, he works straight from them. Not very good with feedback, but if you put in the work, you'll get a good grade.

Overall he's a good teacher. For every lecture there is a study guide that you get from BB which is helpful. BUT,there are only six grades for the class 3 tests and 3 essays so not much room for failure.

His teaching style is great and he lectures in ways that students understand. He is practical, but he does care if you are late to class and takes attendance very seriously. Essays aren't bad at all and the final exam isn't cumulative. Overall enjoyable class for someone who didn't think they would enjoy it!

Cant be late more than 5 times but very easy class! Print the study guide and bring to class everyday. 3 tests, 3 writing assignments. He loves what he teaches and makes it as interesting as possible! If you go, you'll pass. Oh yeah and no need to buy the textbook either, he doesn't require it :)

He's very passionate about the material he teaches, but doesn't tolerate disruptiveness or too many absences. His tests are all based on his lecture material, but I strongly suggest starting the study guide at the beginning of the unit and completing it throughout; so by the time the test comes the material is already organized.

Extremely important that you pay attention to his syllabus. If you do one thing that goes against his syllabus, it is an automatic F in his class. Missing 1/3 papers or even 1/4 exams and he will fail you. Other than that, he's a great lecturer and gives you questions to answer during his lectures and you use those as your study guides. Great guy

Easy class, just print out the study guide and fill it out in class. Test questions come straight from the study guide.

Mr. Barineau is teaching "Time Management, with limited reminders" and a myriad of similar religions jammed into (3) 70 question multiple-guess exams. This course is independent work and testing. Exams are challenging because 4 religions, being similar, are all on the exam. Know the material and what religion or suffer shipwreck. Roy is Fair!!

Mr. Barineau's class has taught me so much! He has study guides for every course unit online, which are long but they have everything you need for the test. The writing assignments are not difficult at all, as long as you follow the instructions. He is very straightforward, there are only 6 grades for the whole semester. Study and you will be fine.

I absolutely loved this class! He is a great teacher, clear on his lectures & what he expects from his students in his syllabus. Use the study guides & the notes, he puts on the class website. I used flash cards & passed very easily. Dr. Barineau's papers are probably the hardest thing in this class. Attendance is MANDATORY. Highly recommend!!

He was always entertaining with his lectures. Provided specifics in his feedback on essays. Made classroom policy abundantly clear and unless you mess up majorly there's no real reason you shouldn't pass his class with a solid grade.

Amazing professor!! As long as you attend class and do your study guide you will get an A!

He provides great study guides that you can fill out during his lectures. Very interesting subject, never imagined I would love humanities. Its a good class and the way he goes into detail make it a bit cooler.

He literally gives you all the tools to pass his class. He does PowerPoint presentations so no book needed. If you fill out hlthe studyguides he gives you, you will get an A on the tests. He is a stickler for you paying attention and coming to class on time. He will call you out if needed. Overall easy A.

This professor has slides and study guides that are the literal answers to the tests. Do the study guides and pay attention during lecture or study the slides at home and you will do fine.

I took HUM2020 online during the summer. There is no text book for this class. He just provides hand typed powerpoints and study guides for each section. The powerpoints are easy to read/understand and the answers for the study guides are easily found. There is 4 tests all EASY if you do your study guides. AND 2 essays EASY, he gives 25 extra credi

I loved this class! He is a very fair grader and his lectures are detailed. He really loves what he does. There are study guides that have all the information for tests and the only other assignments are 2 essays and a quiz for each section. He also gives extra credit for each essay. Would definitely recommend this class!

This class does not have many assignments and it is extremely boring. It is comprised of 2 tests 8 quizzes and 2 essays. I barely ever go to class because he does not take role and I have a 100% in the class because all the notes are online. I even decided to take him next semester for a different class.

Two papers and two tests.

I loved this professor!! Hes an amazing teacher and so informative!

He has all assignments opened by the first day of class. About 9 quizzes, 1 paper and 2 tests. No final. I finished all classwork in 2 weeks. He answered emails very quickly. Info for tests is clearly in quizzes as well as the online notes, there is no book needed. Nice guy, he graded my paper early because I was nervous about it. Got an A. 2DB's.

Read through the comments by other students and am shocked some people had bad experiences. This class is an easy A just study the quizzes he gives you!!!! The test questions are directly from the quizzes. He also gives you detailed notes and study guides if you need extra help. Disregard any bad reviews from people, they clearly did not study��

Although I did not take his f2f class, I was impressed with his lectures. If one takes his online course, one has the option to read the content in a power point presentation however, I do recommend watching at least one of his recorded lectures at least once as they are very good. I can definitely say I am more cultured after taking this course.

The professor sends a weekly bullet point list of things to do for the entire week every Monday (life saver) to be completed by Friday. Theres little to no work load with the assignments. Theres one 1,250 word essay, 2 discussion posts (250) words, and 20-35 question quizzes, depending on the topic/lesson. Theres no book or code to purchase.

Great Teacher

This is not your quick easy humanities credit class, he makes you work for it. He is very knowledgeable about the subject he teaches and makes it fun because he is hilarious. Make sure to fill out every study guide if you want to pass the quizzes and tests- not that much work is required of you so the only way you're gonna fail is if you're lazy.

Easy Clear Content. Definitely take him and REL2300!!!

He is a good teacher who cares about the students. He tries to keep everyone engaged and isn't monotone throughout the class. Lots of lectures but no homework assignments. Just quizzes and tests. Pay attention or study hard and you'll pass.

Basically just read the notes or listen to the lectures and fill out the study guides. then since the tests and quizzes are all open note the study guide gives you all the information you need as well as allowing you to learn something. Very clear instruction and easy A if you apply yourself! Also super stimulating class you learn a lot.

Best professor ever. I thought this course was boring and I didnt have confidence to take the class but the professor makes everything so fun and engaging. He gives you a good amount of times to finish your work. As long as you do the study guides you can use for the tests Overall would take another class with him

Over half the assignments are just quizzes and there is about 2 discussion boards and that's it. You do have to do a final paper but it is super easy, you pick your topic and have all semester to work on it. Definitely an easy class and great professor!!!

easy class all you did was watch the lecture take the quiz and and you had 2 discussion boards and a final paper super easy grader

He is super easy. You just show up to the lectures and take notes. The quizzes are not honor lock and three attempts. There are two tests that are worth 50% of your total grade which sounds intimidating but it is open note, open study guide, open everything. Very good teacher overall.

His 2020 class was SUPER easy. I literally would finish all the quizzes in a day and not have to stress. Exams extremely easy. This class is a walk in the park. And its OPEN NOTE!

Mr. Barineau is a great professor. He loves what he teaches and it shows through the passion he has during his lectures. Quizzes and exams are extremely lengthy, but once you do your study guide it will be super easy.

Honestly, he was my favorite professor out of my whole college career. His his is not easy by any means, but he is very clear on what he wants from you and nothing is extremely difficult. The class is interesting and I really enjoyed it.

Professor B was great. Simple, easy. Lots of time needed for this class, but easy A.

Took his asynchronous class and it was set up very well. Complete quizzes and study guides and the exam will be a breeze.

Personally, he was a great teacher. the lectures were on PowerPoint in class, but you could tell he was passionate about what he taught. He didn't make you "overthink" the work either very straight and to the point. The quizzes were fairly easy, and the final exam was basically all the quizzes in one. easy to pass you just have to pay attention.

I took this class over the summer, so the pacing was difficult. However, the class wasn't hard in itself, there's just a lot of reading required. But the tests are open note and therefore, easy.

Mr. Barineau has to be the best professor I have had so far in college. He has amazing lectures and actually makes a somewhat boring class interesting. You can use your notes for quizzes and tests. He posts his lectures on Canvas if you can't make it to class. As long as you listen to the lectures and take notes on the content, you will get an A.

Great professor with much knowledge on the subject!

Professor Barineau makes this class a breeze - just attend lectures, take notes, and use the open-note exams and quizzes. unstuck AI is a game-changer for study prep too. Highly recommend for an easy A!
