Great guy, very accommodating and class is interesting. He is very fair with grading and content, however, TAs are typically not. He often runs behind on lectures and content, but everything is available online |

Super nice guy. Lectures are ok to go to. Class is not too much work, although there are three exams that cover a lot of content. |

I have also taken psyc100 with barnet, leading me to take psyc221 by him because of how much I loved the structure of his classes. We have a quick online quiz every week from hope with is open note, a writing assignment every so often, and 3 exams (one of which is dropped excluding the final). He often runs behind on lectures, but the slides are always available, and he gives a study guide for the exams. He is so nice and accommodating to students needs, just this week he changed our second exam from in person to online (available for multiple days and open note) since it was previously on the day after Election Day and wanted to allow students to stay up late for it. overall he is a wonderful professor and if I can take more classes by him in the future I will. |

Dr. Barnet is absolutely amazing! He has been my favorite professor so far at UMD. His lectures are entertaining, the amount of work he gives is reasonable, and his class covers a variety of really interesting topics. I got to connect with him a lot because of how small my Freshman Connection section was. Even if your class is on the bigger side, I still highly recommend attending his office hours at least once, he's a great guy! |

Dr. Barnet was a pretty good professor and this was a fairly easy class. There are two midterms, one of which gets dropped, a few writing assignments, weekly quizzes, a final paper, and a final exam. The lectures can be a little monotonous but he uses point solutions to send the class interesting polls to make it more engaging. However, there are like ten TAs and a different one grades your writing assignments every time, so the expectations/grading are not consistent at all. Teaching team was not clear about citation/word count expectations, which resulted in me having to argue with the TAs about points being wrongly taken off my papers. |

He's okay. The class is really easy but the lectures being 1 hour and 40 minutes is actually terrible. He goes off on side tangents all the time and rambles a lot. He also speaks into a microphone but he screams into it and its so loud so I always end class with a headache. He is really chill though and seems understanding and the content is so simple. |

Barnett was a very solid lecturer, I never got bored in class and was always interested to come every lecture and to pay attention. He posts the lecture slides before class so you can follow along and not have to worry about taking notes. Exams were neither easy or hard but with a little bit of studying using Dr.Barnett's study guide you can do pretty well. He's very easygoing and one thing that stook out to me was when our final exam was announced to be on the first day of exams at 8 in the morning he gave us permission to bring a page of notes due to him thinking it was unfair we were not given as much time to study between classes ending and our exam. Only downside of this class in my opinion is the final is 30% of your grade but I would still recommend taking especially as a Psych student. |

Professor Barnet is super fun and engaging, but when it comes to writing assignments make sure you hit every little detail because the TA's grade super harsh. |

I love this class. Exams are pretty straight forward, along with assignments. Lectures are also interesting. |

He always keeps his lectures interesting. The writing portion of the class can be a little frustrating sometimes because different TAs grade it each time, so you never really know what they want since they have different expectations. He drops the lowest test grade which can also be your final. His tests are very reasonable, I usually prepare using the review slides he posts. |

Dr. Barnet is the undisputed GOAT. He makes psychology more interesting than it is which is already hard to do with his engaging lectures and authentic personality. He's super funny, down to earth, and always looking to strike up conversations with students. He's also super young so he understands the youth and how we learn best. His workload is super doable and interesting. He dropped one of our tests as well, as long as you study you should be golden for them although the final was a bit harder than his usual exams. Overall 100% recommendation. |

Good Professor. He's really understanding and allows extensions when you communicate with him. Also he really cares about APA format. It's a lot of content for exam but it is also common sense. Make sure you study, majority of content is on slides, so you don't necessarily need to attend lecture, but it is highly encouraged. |

Joseph Barnet is the nicest professor I've ever had and he really tries to make an effort to make each student feel important. His lectures and discussions are interesting and he is extremely generous with grading. He often offers various extra credit opportunities to boost your grade and the test is always like the powerpoint notes. |

Enjoyed the content of this class and Dr. Barnet was very student-oriented. It seems like he really cares that you do well in his class. Content on Exams was all application based but predictable. He drops the lowest exam score so that also took a lot of stress off finals. There is some writing in this course but the essays and content were interesting and he provides a lot of resources to use as support. His lectures are almost straight out of the textbook, so both re-enforce each other. Would definitely recommend. |

Loved Professor Barnet. He was super funny, and personable. Something especially helpful was his explanation of the applications of concepts that could be confusing. He made Psych extra interesting, which persuaded me to take his social psych class, PSYC221. The only thing that I wasn't a huge fan of was how fast he would go through slides and would have to skip sections of content due to timing. Overall, he is a great professor and I recommend taking any of his psych classes. |
