CollegeI have mixed feelings about this class. Professor Jarrett is a great Professor in the sense that he is passionate about his subject, and allow for the sharing of a wide spectrum of views. But the grading was awful. The midterm and exams were MC but hard, and your grade has so much ambiguity that it drove me insane. Your grade won't be clear
Jarrett is a cool guy and I enjoyed this class. I am not a phil major so it was a new experience for me. He is really funny and make sure he knows your name through participation (which counts towards your grade).
He claims he's open to all views but he's not, he has a clear bias that he tries to hide by claiming he's being "reasonable" and that any view disagreeing with him isn't. The class itself teaches nothing valuable but it's not difficult once you just start agreeing with everything he says. No computers allowed which makes it even more unbearable.
Class structure keeps you engaged, and the lectures are great. You cannot get behind, though; there is a lot of ground to cover, but if you keep up, it's a really fun class. Strongly recommend taking a class from hum
He has a wonderful personality (very funny guy) and made lectures super interesting. Expectations were made extremely clear and despite a somewhat heavy workload, success was achievable with effort. The course itself was super interesting too.
LOVE Prof. Jarrett!!!! His lectures are unskippable they're so funny and informative. He really expects a lot from his students and his class material reflects that. He grades harshly on tests and they're built to be concise, so you can't BS them, but he often curves to help students. Transparent and great, you'll "PARTY" in his class!!!!
