CollegeHonestly, the class was extremely heavy with material and he is kind of rude. I feel like he should have more empathy for students especially as a Phil professor. Made a fuss about students getting to class 1 minute late for a pop quiz, but does he know there are more classes other than his that students are coming from? Won't be taking again.
Professor Jarrett, is one of those professors you wont forget! He is very funny and makes lecture worth attending. He does add a lot of what he speaks about in the tests that may not be covered on the lecture slides. You will be reading a lot, but the articles and other readings he provides are very interesting.
A great professor! A really really kind guy. Jarrett cares about his students and really takes time during lectures explaining what he expects. Though, it's pretty heavy and if you don't like to read don't take this class. Read his entire midterm handout. I hated participating but it was mandatory. Raise your hand. He also likes domo.
Professor Jarrett was a great professor! He turns hard understanding material into something inspirational and will throw in some jokes in there to lighten up the mood. Be prepared to read! you need to engage within the class to get participation points
Jarrett is my favorite Philosophy Professor at UCSB. Since taking 130 with him I've also taken 189 and 143, but 130 still stands out as my favorite class. It also might be the most difficult of the three, but if you pay attention and put a bit of effort in your grade should never be an issue. He's a very fair grader. Very funny and engaging lecture
Reading heavy and lots of quizzes due before class, including before the very first class. Lectures were okay but took up a very small part of the class period, most of it is group discussions. He doesn't talk about the readings with us, several of which he wrote and I personally found very confusing. Often left more confused than I came in being.
