Extra credit for section attendance, and the concepts were easy to grasp. Highly recommend

Very interesting and fun GE. Prof. Barrett has great music taste, really cute baby pictures, and gives out kiwis for participation. Made what could easily be a difficult subject matter very easy to understand. Very reasonable homework load and thorough study guides for midterms and final. Would recommend!

The class itself was not what I expected, and it reminded me a lot of geometric proofs. There is a textbook that Thomas instructs the students to get, but I ultimately stopped using it around the first midterm. Everything on the exams is taken directly from the study guides. Lots of opportunities for extra credit, including attendance. Liked my TA.

What a great guy! I understand that this class can be hard if you're not doing the homework's and practicing outside of that. The 2 midterms and final all had study guides where he took problems directly onto the study guides to the tests. The best way I studied was doing the whole study guides and then making sure I knew how to do each problem!

He was such a great professor! The only thing I wish is if we could see our canvas grades earlier in the year, but it was an awesome class to be a part of.

Barrett was a great and caring professor! He was funny, made philosophy fun, and was always accessible outside of class. His office hours were always on the lawn outside the arbor and occasionally he brought his dog. As long as you attend lectures, you will def get a good grade :) will miss this class!
