Brent Barr

Extremely difficult final and difficult course. This prof thinks you're actually going to end up a retail manager and that's why you took this course. Too many discussion posts. Overall it's a nightmare. Avoid him and this course.

If I could give you one piece of advice it would be to never take this course. Your probably taking it as a bird course but it will require more work than your main course. 3 midterms, 3-4 discussion post a week that require 3 sources each, 2 responses to peers per post, 1 report, and a 90 question final. Please save yourself and take my advice.

way to much work for a open elective course, wouldn't take again.

Way too much work for an elective. 4 exams. endless discussion posts and 1 essay. if you can take another elective. this is way too much work for an open elective course. lowkey worse than CS courses.

To be blunt i would not take him again hes got an unnecessary heavy course load for an introductory course which i was taking as an elective. he provides very little in terms of actual academic insights and expects you to do most of the heavy lifting. very hands off

I really dislikethis guy. I did okay in his class but everything about him irks me. He has no regard for students who carry a proper course load. His discussion posts that only are worth 5 percent of your grade take me more time than most of my IMPORTANT courses. I hope he sleeps well at night knowing he's made my life SIGNIFICANTLY worse.

I took it thinking it would be an easy asynchronous bird course. It isn't difficult, but theres wayyyy too much to write per week for the weekly discussion posts that are mandatory. Look elsewhere for an asynchronous bird course, this ones too much work.

A lot of work, 3 midterms, 1 assignment, a final exam, and weekly participation boards. The tests were very fair and students had multiple attempts to improve their marks. Weekly discussion boards were too much, we were expected to include research, textbook, and module references in multiple discussion posts per week + respond to classmates.

There are many discussion posts, I will admit, but Brent is great honestly! It helps retain the information, and his course is very well structured. If you put in effort, it should be an easy A+ with Brent!

Assigns 4-5 discussion questions a week, very unreasonable for students with full time jobs and other classes. However, he does not seem willing to change.
