Good class if you are looking for an Easy GE or an A. Super willing to work with students and makes expectations very clear. Overall great class and great professor

Super interesting lecture. Gives a lot of extra credit, and attendance also counts as extra credit. Highly recommend Phil3, it's super fun and easy A.

Professor Barrett is one of the best professors I've had at UCSB. He is very engaging and genuinely invested in how his students do. Attendance is not mandatory and is extra credit. All problems on the midterm and final are taken directly from the study guide. One of the best GE classes at ucsb, I cannot recommend professor Barrett's class enough!

I LOVE PROFESSOR BARRETT. He has really made me consider double majoring in Phil 3. My TA Tiffani, was absolutely amazing! Professor Barrett was so thorough with lectures and provided much assistance outside of class. All tests are from study guide with much support while studying. PLEASE CONSIDER TAKING THIS CLASS

I took this class as a GE but really enjoyed the material due to how Barrett would conduct the class. The homework is very manageable, only taking around 30 minutes a week, and the grading is very generous. Barrett is an amazing professor who genuinely cares for his students. He is easily one of the best professors I've had at UCSB.

This class felt like a lie because it was such an easy chill class. As long as you go to lectures you don't really need the textbook. Attendance is mandatory and graded. Homework every week, but each only took me about 30 minutes to do. Thomas really cares about his students, as do the TAs! (and his dog is super cute on top of that).
