If you don't understand something, do something about it!!! She is one of the nicer teachers to go to, even if you don't usually go to tutorials. DO THE WORK BOOKLETS. Ms. Barbet genuinely has everything on her D2L to guide you towards success, which almost always makes it your fault if you don't do well in class.

- ALWAYS pay attention in class, and honestly, don't be afraid to raise your hand to ask for clarification. Ms. Barbet is incredibly kind and patient, so don't be timid to ask questions and engage in class. - When she gives those end of the unit review packages, GRIND IT OUT ASAP, then go in and ask for help in tutorial for the questions you don't understand. - Study for quizzes - DO NOT LOSE DATA BOOKLET - Pay attention in labs, understand what you are doing, because questions about lab procedures could show up on tests and quizzes - TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MORNING AND AFTER SCHOOL TUTORIALS!! She is always willing to help, and super easy to find in tutorials. Utilize your resources, so do your homework, then go ask questions. Getting to know her in tutorials helps as well!

SHE IS SO AWESOME. Her classes are interactive, and she has a way of speaking that keeps you hooked, even when it's about boringgg chemistry and boringggg biology. I've had her two years in a row for chem-20 and chem-30 and I LOVE her classes. I've never dreaded a class with Ms. Barbet.

Ms. Barbet made Chemistry 30 so much more enjoyable than I ever thought it could be! Her sense of humour and clarity of teaching ensured my engagement, and I believe a great portion of my success in the class came from going to her tutorials and asking questions. She does not give excessive amounts of homework or take-home assignments, but just enough to help you learn the concepts and material you need to know, well. She was so kind and patient and I am so thankful that she was one of my teachers during my final year of high school! WOULD RECOMMEND!
