Professor
R. Barnard
Most Helpful Review
Dr. Barnard is a very easy professor. He is very straightforward and tells you exactly what you need to know for the midterm. While he is teaching, its mostly just dry memorization of processes or facts. He is not very conceptual at all. An ample amount of studying will get you a good midterm score. However, he only teaches half of the quarter for Phy Sci 5, so after the midterm, Dr. Roberts takes over and he is the absolute opposite of Dr. Barnard. If you take Phy Sci 5 and you have both of these professors, be prepared to do a lot more studying when Barnard leaves. The only other downside to Barnard is that his lectures are very dry, monotone, and boring. It's very easy to want to nap or ditch all together when he teaches. Overall, I recommend Phy Sci 5 with Dr. Barnard.
