Tests are incredibly difficult in relation to homework assignments(HW does not suffice). Painstakingly meticulous with not only current math course, but also includes everything you wish you never had to cover again (and not necessary) from prior courses.

You have to watch the lecture videos, but if you email him questions he is quick to answer and is easy to understand. He doesn't give time limits for anything other than practice tests and the work load is reasonable. I personally hate math, it is my worst subject but I was able to pass his class with an A. A good choice for online learning.

The class itself is hard, but it's harder when the professor isn't as descriptive. Also if you need help or feel you won't do well in the class with in the first week or the first couple home works, I say speak up as soon as possible. Also, you can try to go to the math lab but the tutors are no help because there aren't any math 131 tutors.

The best teacher I have ever had. He explains the material very well, loves to answer any questions even the stupid ones, with wonderful respect. There were 5 exams and the final exam, he replaced the lowest one, with the final. I loved his class and, I wish I can take him again.

15 HW assignments (NO LATES, or else ZEROS), participation points if you submit an answer to a exit ticket question before you leave a session, 4 exams, and a final exam. He would give a drop to one of the lowest exam scores if you get +75% of the overall HW and +75% of overall participation. Course itself is not easy, but he helps you with it alot

Mr. Barnett was one of the calmest, nicest professors I've ever had. He has infinite patience and makes everything so easy. We did 2-3 projects, had homework due once a week & took abt 3-5 tests. He basically did the projects with us in class and the tests are what's on the study guide. The students who complained gave minimal effort.

Overall an amazing professor I highly recommend. I took discrete math with him and he was a tough grader but his lectures were the lectures I've ever had for any class. Extremely smart man and was quick to respond to emails and office hours. He is a tough grader but is clear in explanation. Be prepared to work hard for the A. I would take him again

This professor is very knowledgeable and respectful. All of his tests and quizzes are based on what he went over in class, nothing overly difficult or harder than problems done in class. Quizzes are easy if you take good notes. Tests the same. Final exam was problems from tests throughout the semester, and he lets you know that.

Professor Barnett has a specific teaching style. If you engage with it, the class works well. Use unstuck AI for study prep - it's a great complement to the textbook and lectures.

I took him in the summer of 2024. He was horrible to me. I had very bad test anxiety and this man made it so hard. I accidentally used the calculator on the no calculator portion and didn't realize so he ran to me like a psycho on a power trip and embarrassed me in front of the whole class. I cried the whole rest of the exam. GOES ON POWER TRIPS!!

He doesn't give any chances if you missed one class even if you were excused, he would give you a 0 on the assignment right away and he makes everything difficult even though there are simple ways to answer a lot of units and it reached to a point where I started forcing my self to go to class plus he would try to finish a whole unit in one class!

I would genuinely force myself to go there. He'll grade you down even for not adding a dollar sign. He won't reply to emails at all, I had to wait 4 days just to get a reply back. His tests are hard. Don't take this class and he missed 4 days at the end and would force a lot of stuff to be done in a single day and it got very annoying.
