Determinism is the doctrine that the laws of nature plus the past necessitate the future. Is determinism compatible with the view that we often act freely and are often morally responsible for what we do?

PHIL130 . Jarrett G C 3 Years Ago

I took this class because he had so many good reviews. I worked super hard and I felt like he was unaccommaded to students during the pandemic. He had a lot of trouble with the technology. As a DSP student, he messed up the tests on GauchoSpace and made it MORE stressful for me, which is the opposite of why Im in DSP.

Jarrett is an interesting man. He wasn't the best at answering questions, but I thoroughly enjoyed his class. It was more discussion based which was really nice and he gave out relatively short readings (10 - 15 pages a night). He gives great feedback on papers and is overall a nice guy. Am currently taking him again.

Loads of his students find him hilarious - lots of jokes. If you understand the concepts you will pass easily, but some found this class conceptually more difficult than others. Explains well, good slides, all info on GS. Participation and attendance are graded which I hate - encourages unnecessary and ill-thought out contributions from students.

Great lecturer, keeps everyone interested. Daily quizzes but they help you actually learn the material. One midterm one essay and one final.

His class is full of blue hair girls and people with victim mentality, if youre a normal person do not take it your opinion will be overpowered during every discussion.

Very kind and funny professor. Lectures were very fun to attend. Reading was sometimes confusing but like another comment said, ended up doing better in the class than originally thought. Exams are very fair.
