Took him for a summer intro to psych class and loved him. Hes just a really nice kind who cares about his students. He even sang to us before exams to calm and relax us. I learned a lot in the class, even made it my major.
The best teacher anyone will ever have. Smart, full of knowledge, and the nicest guy ever. I wish i could be like him when i reach his age. Words cannot describe how wonderful he is.
TAKE HIS CLASS. HE is the man!!!! a FANTASTIC GELTLMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's incredible. Always interesting and explains things so you learn it.
I took Dr. Barnhart over 2009 summer and found him easy to relate to.. he gives everyone the opportunity to speak their minds & views. I felt that he really cared about his students and wanted us to do well in his class and in life -- EXCELLENT TEACHER!
Dr. Barnhart is an excellent professor! He is very caring and understanding. He can help you with any type of problem you are having! Emails back very quickly! I would recommend him to EVERYONE! He sang to us before we took the final! What an AMAZING person!
I hated his class. He loves to hear his own voice. Tests are easy so I guess if you want an easy grade, take him. Otherwise, stay away.
He made the class a community with everyone talking - it's one of the best classes I've had - interesting every time.
Professor B is the head of his department and one of the best psychology teachers Middlesex County College has on staff. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a Professor. He is patient and considerate with all his students; if you work hard you'll leave class with a better understanding of psychology and empowered to continue forward as a student.
I took his online class - excellent! It was alot of work, but as long as the quality of the work was good, it was okay if you missed some posts here and there. Awesome professor and a pretty cool guy.
He's the best professor ever! Really smart, funny, helps you no matter what. I learned a lot and made psych my major. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOU WONT REGRET IT!
I had Prof B. for this past summer semester. I transferred out of another psych class because that professor was rude and quite possibly the worst teacher I've ever seen. Prof B was AMAZING. I took his online class (my first time doing that) and was extremely helpful, clear, and inciteful. Great guy and great teacher.
Hes a great teacher. i took his online class was easy but you have to go in for the final. If your thinking of taking it online go for it. But his actually in-class class is awesome! such a cool guy. plays the guitar before every test
Dr.B. is really nice and helpful. i took his course and he was very flexible and accomodating. tests are easy-basic vocab and concepts. online conversations are interesting.
He seems like a guy that really cares for his students, i had him for an online class, you gotta work and study to get an A. and trust me the material is not boring!
I just took his online class. Understand that you will work, work, work but learn, learn, learn. He is so knowledgeable and responsive, my only regret is that I didn't have the chance to take an "in person" class to meet him because I know from a distance...he made me smarter and that's what school is all about. You need text!
I took an online class over a break, so there were lots of work on a daily bases (1 chapter a day). You can read the chapter once and do fine on the quizzes/exams. Make sure you are posting regularly and you'll receive a good grade. There were no papers or interviews that had to be completed. Professor is very helpful and clear, willingness to help
Dr b is a rock star! Not extremely easy but his lectures are interactive and meaningful. His class makes you a better person! Take his class! He changed my life
One of the worst professors I've ever had. Has been able to float under the radar all this time simply because he teaches "online". Nearly all his feedback is "online". His idea of preparing you for a test is blindly telling you to read the book and memorize it. Come test time, he gives you a useless "review sheet" with every keyword in the book.
Dr B. makes lectures interesting and understandable. He's not going to give feed you the answers to the exam so you MUST read the book cover to cover for exams and cumulative final. Do your work and study the book and its an easy A.
I took online class on summer. It's a lots of work on daily basis one chapter in each day and every Friday one exam so there will be three exam on every Friday and one final that us cumulative. The exam is baced on 50 question in one hour. Need to read each pages very sharply. Very Helpful professor and easy going. Take him if you can.
Dr B was amazing! I loved his class, he made it very interesting. He plays his guitar and sings to class b4 every exam. He makes everyone feel very special. The teacher I have ever had throughout my entire years of school.
Dr. B was AMAZING! His classes are incredibly interesting and he really loves all of his students. He is always open to help if you have any questions. He knows a lot and he really wants his students to know a lot so you really have to read the book and know it. He makes learning fun though and sings and plays guitar before all his exams :)
Professor Barnhart is the best teacher I have had so far in MCC! He is not easy but is willing to make it easy for you! He makes class fun!!! and relatable to actual real-life situations!&& he plays the guitar before every exam :D
Dr. B makes a 3 hour lecture fly by! Loved this class! Loved this Professor! He genuinely cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. One of the best Professors around! The book is necessary, and reading it is a must! I learned so much and I enjoyed every moment!
He is an amazing teacher... Definitely my favorite! He really cares about his students and wants to help make sure everyone passes. You need to study for his tests, but he goes over everything and makes you WANT to learn. He's also very attractive, is ALWAYS in a good mood, and sometimes sings before his tests. He's the best.
Very nice convo. Learned a lot and class online was still interactive with each other. Tests were hard but somehow I passed. So easy grading
Dr. B was such an amazing professor. His 3 hour class was so easy, and he made it so enjoyable. He cares so much about each of his students. He was extremely helpful in class and during his office hours. I would totally recommend taking him!
He is the coolest professor. You can really tell that he loves his job and his life. His personality is really refreshing and he's very understanding. Read the textbook and take notes in class and if you have questions, he's always happy to answer
Professor B, I can say is the most charismatic professor I have ever come across. He's so optimistic, it's amazing. He's so familiar with his subject that when he teaches, students understand crystal clear . He has the best stories and can entertain a class for 3 hours. Time flies in his class . TAKE HIM !
Best professor ever!!!!!
great teacher ! his material is hard and so are his tests but if you study A LOT youll do fine. definitely recommend him :)
Honestly, he is a great professor if you are going into the psychology field, if you just need a humanities and just want a passing grade w/o too much work I wouldnt take him. His test are VERY hard and theres no way to pass them unless you spend hours reading the book. His final is on 14/15 chptrs and theres no outline, just read the WHOLE thing.
He is just AMAZING! Take him so you can see! My favorite professor to date!
I have to say, he's the best professor I've had in my 3 years of college thus far. The point of a class is to come out of it with a good amount of knowledge in the subject and he makes sure you do. In order to pass, you must know the book very well. The material isn't hard, it's just about putting in the time.
Took this class online during the 3-week winter session. If you are consider taking it then, it is a LOT of work. There is about 3-5 hours of work every day, 6 days a week, for the 3-week term. 2 tests, a cumulative final, a paper, and a lot of discussions - great professor, but a lot of material in a short time.
Not only one of the greatest professors, but also one of the greatest people I've ever met. Take his class!!
Awesome guy. He truly cares about each of his students but if you're looking for an easy A, then this class is not for you. Requires some work and effort for sure
I took a 7 week online course.There was a total of three exams along with a paper and collection of articles.It consumed more time than a regular class because you get to read people's responses, but it was nonetheless enjoyable.
What a fantastic teacher. I will say it is a lot of work and he wants you to have the booked memorized but he is really great. He cares about his students and will help with anything. He is the type of person I think you could talk to about anything. The class flies by. As long as you keep up with everything you'll be fine.
Took his online class as long as you do the test, final, research summary, and discussion you will pass with a B or higher. And if you need to meet up he willing to meet and help you out. Great professor
Great professor! Truly loves his students and wants to help them in any way possible. Lectures can be a little boring. I read the book , answered his study guide questions, and the required 3page report ended the semester with an A. He occasionally has a sign in attendance sheet.
Very demanding online course. 3 tests and 1 final. All tests are timed and most questions on the tests are worded VERY LONG. A research summary and a collection are due by the end of the semester. However, there are weekly post with 5-7 questions that you must answer & also reply at least 8. Not an easy A. I did my best and still got an A- minus :
I graduate this year but I just came on here because he is the only professor I've truly ever enjoyed. He is an amazing professor with a big heart. He's awesome. Just take him if you get the chance.
Barnhart is great professor!! He's very easy and polite person. His class is very easy. As long you do the work, that's all matters and he will still give you credit for it. If you do all the work I guarantee you will pass his class with good grade. I took his class online. So take him online or campus I bet you will pass his class.
He is truly the definition of a teacher that does not care about his salary but rather the importance of his involvement in each of his students life. He cares about you in class and even out of class. Your part??? You just have to respect and act like you care. You would have to bribe him to get you to fail his class. This is an easy A
Dr. Barnhart is an absolutely amazing professor. Hands Down the best I've ever had! His class go by so quick because he has so much knowledge to share and it's honestly never a dull moment because he knows exactly what he is talking about and is just the best! You have to actually read and study to pass the tests but all the other work is an easy A
Really a wonderful person. Professor Barnhart truly cares about his students. He wants everyone to learn and succeed and grow in his class. Take him.
One of the best professors I've ever had! Amazing, genuine, and caring person who is passionate about psychology and child psychology. Posts the powerpoints online so you can print them out and bring them to class. Tests are a little tough, but he prepares you very well. I would wholeheartedly take him again and absolutely recommend him! :) 10/10
He was an amazing teacher!! I would retake his class a million times if i had the chance to.
I took this class online, you purchase mypsychlab so you don't need the textbook because the textbook is online. Make sure you write a lot in all discussions, pass the tests and you will pass. I would would take him again, grades are posted day after test. Great Professor!
Barnhart is the best professor you could ask for. I took him for a 7 week online psych course. It was a LOT of work because of the course length, but it went by really fast. As long as you do the work, you won't have any issues. All exams, including the final are online. He is such a genuine, caring man. Highly recommend taking him.
Pretty nice guy, goes off on tangents about his personal life but if you can stand that he's a good professor. basically need to know the textbook inside and out to do well on the tests. Lots of simultaneous long term assignments: virtual child, group project, ten article summaries, article critique and prep for tests PACE YOURSELF and you'll be ok
Had him for a 7 Week online class so naturally there was a lot to cover in little time. There's a lot of reading and responses to the reading involved. As long as you don't fall behind, you'll be okay. Because it was an online class, it was me teaching myself and Dr. B clarifying. Email him if you don't understand something, or have a problem.
I can't say enough great things about professor Barnhart. If you have the opportunity to take him, do it! His lectures are interesting and really makes you appreciate psychology. He prepares you well for exams and goes over any questions you have. He truly cares about his students and I was genuinely sad when the class was over! He's the best!
There aren't enough nice words to describe Professor Barnhart. His online course was very straight forward, do the work (which if you read the chapters he assigns is easy-peasy) and if you contribute to the class discussions you will do well in his class. Would definitely take another class lead by him!
Professor Barnhart is an amazing teacher and an even more amazing man. Take his class you won't regret it
Without a doubt my favorite professor I have ever taken. He gives a lot of good feedback and has clear criteria on what is due each week. In total it is approximately 2-3 hours of work per week. Enjoyed every second of the class and liked hearing his feedback to see what I missed. If you need an introductory course for psych he's the one!
There are no words that can describe how sweet and knowledgeable this professor is. Child psych with Dr. Barnhart prepares you for the whole journey of psychology if you are a psych major. He is not easy, but you actually learn in his class. He is very passionate about his job and really enjoys what he is doing. Highly recommend him!
Prof. Barnhart is a great guy. He cares about his students and doesn't want to see anyone fail. I learned many great things. He sings to his students before exams which is so sweet. If you show that you care and make the effort then you should be fine.
Amazing Professor You will learn so much things that you can apply to your daily lifes. He also cares for the individual and is very empathetic and responsive.
Hes amazing, just finished a 7 week online course with him, he is caring he is kind and you will learn , you must read and it is alot of work. But it is worth if and he midly curves test grades
I absolutely love professor Barnhart so much. He is the sweetest and coolest professor I have ever had. Although there are only few assignments due for the class, they are major assignments and require a lot of time and effort. His personality and fascinating lectures are really worth it!
Hands down the nicest professor I've ever had. Incredibly sweet to his students & genuinely caring. Sings before exams. Lectures are very low key & he likes for things to be conversational. Two exams, a group project, an individual project, & raising a virtual child are the assignments. Everything very clear cut & straight forward.
100% needs awards for how well this class is taught. I used the textbook only for studying. Lots of notes on his power points. Small paper due at the end of the semester; finishing virtual child and a group project, alongside a midterm and final make your grade. He recommended not missing more than two classes, but doesn't keep attendance records.
Dr. B is a wonderful professor! Explains everything very thoughtfully and is an all around caring person. He really shows that he cares about his students and loves what he does. Really interesting lectures. Exams are based off the book, so read EVERYTHING. I would absolutely take his class again. I really learned a lot from him.
What an amazing person and professor! He cares about his students so much. I took his class last spring and it turned out to be my best class. He gives lectures in a way that you also learn about important things in life. He makes learning so fun and interesting. He's very inspiring!
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! LIKE LITERALLY! take him, he's every understanding, caring and so nice! he understands his students and won't let any of them fail! nothing but positivity for this professor!
Such an amazing professor and an amazing person. You can truly see that he cares about his students and that he want them to be able to learn from his class.
Barnhart is definitely a people person. An outgoing and fun professor. Yeah there was a bit of work, but he helps every step of the way. For our midterm and final, he serenaded us with a song via guitar to ease the anxiety. A real fun prof.
He's an amazing professor! I loved his class, although it was online, he made sure that everyone was involved in the discussions. His grading was fair, get ready to do the work for the grade that you want. He makes sure that everyone understands the material & gives great examples and feedback. Best professor I've ever taken!
Great professor. Took him for an online summer class that was 5 weeks long. A lot of work but he was still able to keep it interesting. Really wants you to succeed. Wish there were more classes I could take with him in person because online he had a great teaching method. Take his class!! Thanks dr b :)
Is his online psy 123 easy or hard also is he nice?
He's super sweet, and very pumped to actually make you learn the essentials. He leaves all the assignments open until the deadlines (and sometimes extends it), and you're mostly graded by small and easy things, letting you have time to study well for the tests. He also serenades on the midterm with his guitar, which is relaxing at best. BEST prof!
Professer Barnhart is an amazing professer. He give you 3 quizez throughout the course 1 final. His class was very easy we had about 5 discussions to answer a week. Very fair grader. He is also very well with responding to emails he also gives his personal cell number if your having trouble. Do you discussions and your launchpads! Good Luck!
Professor Barnhart is one of the kindest professors I have ever met in MCC. He's a very good listener and respects his students, he shows he really cares about his students. About the grading, attendance, arriving on time, and taking notes are very important if you want to pass the class.
Dr. B is one of the most caring people I have ever met in my entire life. He truly wants you to succeed not only in his class, but in life. He is highly educated in this field and gives wonderful powerpoints. Do the work and you will get an A. He also plays the guitar and sings to calm your nerves before his tests- and it helps! Best professor.
just do the homework and for the love of god, do the textbook assignments!!!!!! don't leave it last minute!!!!!
Plain and simple... hes the best. Such a great teacher and such a great person in general. Easy to talk to and very understanding. Feeling uneasy and unsure just go to him and hes very nice with the grading.
Great and caring teacher. You don't meet him in a traditional class but he gives very helpful feedback and tries hard to make a warm environment to participate in online. This class is accelerated and A LOT of work/reading. Stay on top of the work with a steady study plan and it will do the trick.
Dr. Barnhart is a very caring man. He truly cares about his students success and will work with you. The 7 week online course is very material heavy but if you complete it all you will have no problem and it is all good review. I would defiantly take another class of his. Such a great professor.
Dr. B is a great psychology professor. Though I am not a psych major, he really made the class interesting & helpful. He is always willing to help & always answers your emails. There's a poster presentation for this class but don't worry, you don't go up in front of the class. Then an essay which is based on your poster. Would take again if i could
Without a doubt the best professor Ive had in college, and likely one of my best teachers ever. The way he speaks makes any lecture interesting. Loves his students and genuinely cares for every single one of them. I joined his class late but he welcomed me with open arms. Loves to talk about his family too, and has an amazing life story. 11/10
I have never had a professor like Professor Barnhart before. He is the most caring and loving professor I ever had. Before every exam he brought his guitar and sang to us to calm us. He provided us with so much information and made us really care for our virtual babies. He is so smart and caring and would love another professor like him.
EXCELLENT by far my favorite, I usually don't have much luck finding a good online professor. He gives terrific feedback, there was a lot of homework because this was a 7 week class. You have to buy Launch Pad. I would 100% recommend having him as your professor. In person midterm and final.
As someone who took his 7-week online course, it is a lot of material for a non-psych major. It still doesn't change my view on this amazing guy! He was understanding for letting me take the midterm and final a week later. I will be taking him for child psych in the spring! I urge every psych major to have him as a prof, you won't regret it!
amazing! i never took psychology but he made it so fun and i learned so much from him.
This professor is absolutely amazing. I took an online 7-week course so it was fast paced and packed with material. Professor was very accessible and willing to work with me to ensure I was able to succeed to the best of my abilities. You can tell he really cares about the subject and students from the way he puts effort into online discussions.
Dr.B is by far the best professor I've had so far. He is such a genuine man, truly cares for his students and works with us as much as he possibly can. Classes are more like conversations rather than lectures. He really makes the class enjoyable!! If I had the chance to, I would 100% take his class again. HW isn't too heavy. Exams aren't too bad!
Need to buy textbook, and need to read it all. His lectures are interesting. He has much experience and knowledge. Do all the assignments and complete the online platform works as well. If you do that, you'll get a good grade. As for the exams, they are difficult but fair. He gives you a study guide, which helps. All info comes from book and PPTs.
Prof. B is more of parental figure than a professor at times. He says things that usually parents would say to you & I mean it in the best way possible. He genuinely cares for his students. I learned more than psychology, there were some life lesson that I will carry with me thanks to him. He hypes up everyone before tests with his guitar too
If you get the chance to take Dr.B for any psych class I would go for it. His priority is his students and cares a lot. You will learn so much in such a small time. I took him for a 3 week winter course. It's a lot of reading but doable and the research paper is so simple, I managed a 100 in the class then whole time. He's the best.
Professor Barnhart is the absolute best professor I have ever had. He is extremely passionate, knowledgeable, caring, and has such an uplifting personality. He truly believes in his students and wants them to succeed. I wish I was able to have a professor like him for all of my classes. Professor Barnhart has made a 3 hour class enjoyable.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can say Dr. B is a such an excellent professor. If he would taught another classes I would definitely take him again. Of course there is work to do but he is available to help you all the way. I dont think he would let you fail. He is such a dynamic, caring, fun and wise man. He could talk for days but definitely made a 3 hr class entertaining.
Hes a nice professor but his lectures dont really teach you anything... I have to learn through the textbook and the final is cumulative.
Really nice Professor!! But theres a lot of work to do.. a lot of reading and writing. I feel like theres almost too much work to do in this class but hes really nice grader and chill
This professor wants his students to pass, he is super sweet and caring. Not many professors like him. 100% recommend taking him if you have not already, or need to take psychology.
Dr. Barnhart is one of the best professor Ive ever had. He is also very knowledgeable and passionate for his field. In this class, we are required to buy a textbook (around 100 brand new) and we have to read the entire textbook. Yes, the entire textbook because the discussions, mid-term, and final revolve around the book and PowerPoint slides.
Professor Barnhart is amazing. He is compassionate with his students and a great teacher. I learned a lot from his class even though it was an online class. No textbooks were required for the online class just discussions, summaries, and final. I recommend for students to take him he is amazing..
Professor Barnhart is a great person. Hes VERY caring and kind. The class is not easy there is a lot of reading and writing. Chapter exams every week and discussion boards every week as well. You really have to work for your grade but I would definitely recommend because hes a great professor.
Hes the best professor I ever had at mcc! hes super caring & understanding. Just show you really care about the class. There assignments are easy (couple of essays, launchpad, discussion questions). As for test/exams its only midterm/final (25%) so please STUDY!!
I couldn't ask for a better professor! As a non-psych major, his inspirational personality and clear content enlightened me! Dr. B is extremely forgiving with late submissions, but you must study from the textbook and take good notes to do well on the midterm and final, each carries 25% of the final grade!
This professor is great! He's very enthusiastic about his work & the class. He really cares about helping students. There's a LOT of reading involved but the rest of the class was online discussions every 3 days (cuz this was a summer class) and online textbook quizzes. This topic was quite interesting to learn about so I'm glad Dr. B taught it
Prof Barnhart is genuinely an amazing guy. I just finished his online summer course about a week ago, and his charismatic personality and enthusiasm for psychology is something I'll never forget. His class is kind of tedious because of the launchpad quizzes, but he is a pretty easy grader. Forgiving with late work and always interacting with us.
Dr. Barhart was the best professor i had at MCC. If you do the work it is an easy A! He also is very caring and here for his students! i would take him for all classes if i could!
Professor Barnhart is easily one of my favorite professors at MCC! Even in an online class you can tell he cares about his students and the class. The class is mostly class discussions, so as long as you go study the notes and participate you'll get an A. He is very sweet and made the class enjoyable.
Easily the best professor I have ever had. His class is so well thought out and really opens your eyes! Along with that he is such a genuine person! I would take his classes again and again! I took this class online and everything was set up so clearly and his expectations were very clear. If you put the work in you will do well!
He is an amazing professor, I took the online class and did really well. you just have to do your readings and then do the quizzes and some discussions are there and they are graded. just do what you are told to do and you will do great.
great guy to start psych with. Lots of reading but it was worth it. take good notes and you'll do fine
Professor Barnhart is such a kind man! You could tell that he really cares about his students. I took his online class. His class is very easy and a lot of it is based on group discussions. The class is very easy to pass and hes also just so nice that participating is something to look forward to. I definitely would take his class again.
This professor is by far one of the greatest professors I've EVER taken. I started his class a little late for a winter he was extremelyy kind to his student. He helped outside of class times on zoom if you needed it. overall his work was easy (I am an art student so Academic work is a little tough for me sometimes). Id recommend him to anyone !
Dr. Barnhart is the best teacher ever! such an amazing man who really loves what he does. Wow! please don't think twice about taking him YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!! I took his 7 week course and the work was very doable
I only took one course since i was starting back to college and that was Dr. Bs psych class. He is a very caring and understanding professor, and I am so sad that our 7 week course is over. He emails back quickly, and helps when you need it. Lots of reading but take great notes and youll do great!
Dr. Barnhart is the type of Psychology Professor that does not stop believing in his students. I was one of his students during the FALL 2020 semester. Being in his class has been a true pleasure. His feedback on the class discussion helped me so much that I ACED the final exam. I totally totally TOTALLY recommend him to other psych students! 10/10
I took Prof. Barnhart for PSY 123 and I just had to come on here to write about him. He was the most sincere, caring teacher who genuinely wants the best for you. The final was a 5 page paper and youre given the entire day to work on it.. You also get 2 attempts per quiz. He doesnt overload work and is very understanding with late submissions.
He seems like a very nice guy(I took him online only) The only thing I would warn you about, is the amount of reading. The rest is really easy. If you miss work, he does not put it in as a Zero. I highly recommend.
Really loved this class! Took it online and glad I did. Lots of reading but its worth it. Really great Professor. You will pass if you do all the work and readings.
He is such an amazing professor. He cares about his students and wants to see them pass. He helped me out and gave great feedback on essays. I 100% would take him again for future classes.
Awesome professor. His comments on discussion boards are thought-provoking and inspirational. As long as you participate, don't plagiarize, do your best and complete all assignments you'll be fine. The textbook is given with his course and quizzes are integrated into the textbook. The exams are papers that you have all day to do. Loved his class!
Dr. Barnhart is seriously the kindest professor I've ever had. The class was time-consuming and I found the material hard to get through at times, but I am not a psych major. The final was a paper you could work on all day and was surprisingly fun. If you are looking for a thought-provoking class with a great professor, this is the one to take!
Dr. Barnhart is extremely professional, responds to emails and messages quickly, and wants every student to succeed. If you show work ethic and put time and effort into his class, you will succeed! I was worried about taking a fully online course my first semester in college but Dr. Barnhart made my experience great! Amazing!
He's the best teacher ever, he loves his job, plus he's super smart. He will make you fall in love with psychology.
Professor Barnhart is the best professor I've had the honor of taking a course with. The most inspirational professor that goes above and beyond with making sure his students gain knowledge from the course material and also learn valuable life lessons.
Prof b was so helpful, very clear with assignments. my course was asynchronous, but i learned so much. take him if you have the opportunity
He is an outstanding professor very fair and considerate. His assignments really helped us to understand what we were learning and I 10/10 recommend taking his class if you haven't already. He gives enough time for you to work on your assignments and to turn them in. I have proficient knowledge in everything we went over in his class.
I took this as a summer class so it was accelerated, even so professor Barnhart always checked in to help and was always accessible. His responses on discussions were thoughtful and he was very encouraging. All in all one of the better professors I've had at Middlesex and would take another class with him anytime.
He is by far the best professor I've had at Middlesex because of how caring and sweet he is. He is such an amazing human being and pure of heart. I didn't participate a lot but I hope he knows the kind of impact he has on his students. I learned a lot during during his lectures but he does require a lot of readings.
Dr. B is a great professor! His lectures are really easy to understand, and you can tell that he really enjoys what he teaches by the enthusiasm he brings to each class. I loved this class so much and I'm sad that it's over.
This professor is AMAZING. By far the best one I have ever at MCC. He is very understanding, always gives you helpful comments and never takes off any points for tiny minor errors. I once forgot to post an assignment that was due two weeks before I had remembered it and he still gave me points for submitting it. Really appreciate this professor.
Such a great professor at MCC!!! Dr Barnhart is so inspiring, and really makes you think with the discussion boards. The textbook provided in his class is a free download :)
Mr. B was my favorite professor this entire semester. He is the sweetest man ever and genuinely cares about all of hist students. Do not be afraid to ask him for help. Assignments are always on canvas and he allows late assignments. I 100% recommend him for anything.
Dr. Barnhart is the best professor I had this semester. He cares a lot about his students and is always there outside of class if they need help. There is a lot of reading required for this class. The text book is built into canvas though.
This professor was very friendly, put in a lot of effort by sending long comments with information to read and responses to our assignments/discussions to learn from. The papers required thinking but could be an easy A if you do your work. He is very helpful if you have questions and always seems willing to help.
The best professor I've taken! He is clearly very eager to help the class do well. assignments and lectures are always interesting and he visibly loves his job and the subject matter he teaches. Very easy to get along with and has a fair grading policy. I look forward to this class every week
Took 3 hour class, went by quickly(few minutes of break time inbetween)All lectures are powerpoints,can access online but if not there for lectures you wont understand powerpoints cause they need verbal explanation. Hw easy, Midterm&Final were easy, you just need to be able to explain the concepts but I think his grading is fair and genuine.
TAKE HIM!!!!!! His class was the easiest class i had all semester. homework online due every sunday, consisted of multiple choice questions and a short quiz. the midterm and final exam were straight foward. easy grader. very personable. 10/10
One of the best class I had this semester. He takes a supportive stance and clearly cares about his kids. There is only one midterm and final exam. Furthermore, he is always happy to offer extra help for any difficult lessons, either in person after class or online.
Best professor, I would take him again !!!!! he answers your email really fast and always there to help :)
Dr. Barnhart is easily the best professor I've taken. He answers emails fast and will work with you if you have an issue. He makes the class interesting with the discussions and there is no pressure to post the perfect response. Dr. B is overall an awesome and respectable person and professor, take his class if you have the chance!
I definitely recommend taking Dr. Barnhart! He is such a nice professor and truly cares about his students. He makes his lectures fun and interesting too. The work is not hard, there is just a bit of reading and a quiz each week.
Cares for his students and develops course material that is transferrable knowledge amongst a wide range of fields of study.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TAKE HIM!!!! He is wonderful! Even beyond a professor, he is an amazing person! He really cares about you and he's like a sweet grandpa!
Professor Barnhart is the man. Please take him if you get the chance to. His lectures kept me engaged in psychology and made me more knowledgeable about everything. The workload is very manageable with the quizzes and study plans, along with a midterm and a final. Wonderful person and an even better Professor. Highly recommend him.
Absolutely great professor. Caring, fun, and professional. Took his class as a online course and gives out great feedback for each discussion post. Classwork is simple but challenging which helps in retaining what's being taught. If you're going for a Psych major or just a Humanities elective, get a slot to his classes quick!
Easy A. Online course, everything was done online. Just Final exam was in person, but 35% of the grade. But you only need a C in the class so it was really easy to end with an A in the class anyway.
Professor Barnhart is a caring, engaging professor who makes the course material interesting. The workload is manageable, with quizzes, midterms, and a final. Attending lectures is crucial, as the slides need his explanations. unstuckstudy was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.
Dr.B will make you fall in love with psychology! Knowledgeable, respectful, motivating. Brings up the best in you. Whether you need psychology class or just want to learn it for yourself, that's the professor you want to be teaching you.
One of the sweetest professors I've ever had, you can tell his love for teaching is strong. Very accommodating and understanding if you're having a hard time in his class.
TAKE THIS CLASS! absolutely one of the best classes if ever taken. Very engaging and interesting, such a fun class. The material is understandable and easy to access. Mr.Barnhart is very helpful and open to any questions you have about anything. Such a caring professor who truly has a love for teaching and his students. loved every class!
He is such an amazing professor and really cares about his students. Would definitely take again!
TAKE HIS CLASS! He's be far one of my favorite professors and I was majoring in biology but was thinking about psych and so I met in the middle and was inspired to do neuroscience! I loved his class even though it was fully online and asynchronous, I'm kind of disappointed I didn't take him in person. Do your work and you will be fine! He's so kind
one of the best profs of all time, you will have a lot of homework but it is all managable, all the work is done online, due dates are flexible with full credit. i am a CJU major only needed this class for completion. very out of my field but well worth it. study for the midterm and final and you will be okay.
He made psychology so interesting and was always able to capture my attention. He is passionate about what he teaches and it really helps you absorb the material. I would love to take him again, by far one of my favorite teachers ever!
He is very friendly, and there is something new to learn on a new day.
He is great!
I absolutely adore him. He's an amazing teacher, made class fun and simple while still managing to get his point across. Not a lot of tests, but they were all very easy. Highly recommend taking one of his classes.
I would love to have him as my professor again . He was great, so funny, caring and I love his songs! Great professor ! do yourself a favor and take this class!
He is a great Professor. His class is very easy and if you do well in the online quizzes, prepare for midterm and final you will do well. He also gives a project that help boosts the grade.
he was gen such a kind and sweet teacher and he cares about you and your circumstances. he gives weekly assignment but theyre easy to complete and are js like the midterm and final, both of which are pretty easy. plus he plays a song on his guitar before both!! would def recommend, very sweet and i miss his class
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR PLEASSE TAKE HIM, MAKE YOUR LIFE EASY. MAKE YOUR MID TERM LIFE EASY AND YOUR FINAL LIFE EASY AND HOMEWORK LIFE. U WILL NOT REGRET TOOK THIS CLASS FALL 2025! As a freshman student I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR
