Jarett is an awesome prof, made history very engaging and I'm not usually super interested in history. His assignments are a bit unusual as the class is more project based and there is no midterm or final, but the assignments were usually fun even when you had to put some work in, and I preferred his style to having exams.

He is very interested in what he is teaching and always in a good mood even in the morning. Good lecturer, reading isn't too bad but it is there. Mostly just have to try in the section and hope for a nice TA. Uses iClicker.

Jarrett is an awesome lecturer! He makes the information interesting and digestible, and the workload was totally reasonable and manageable. TAs always deducted a few points from every assignment, which was frustrating. But attend class, participate in section, and earn easy points from completion-based assignments and you'll be fine.

Clearly very passionate, great guy. Very iclicker heavy, section attendance and participation matters as it is part of your grade. No midterms and optional final that can only increase your grade. 3 labs, sections up til week 7 are reading heavy. Grades may also be TA dependent which kind of sucks. Overall fair class and it's not bad. Recommended.

Professor Jarett was a great. Loved taking his class and it was super chill and easy. Stay on top of the section readings and lecture notes. He does give his TA's a lot of power when grading. My TA, Christmas, was so bad. Her grading was horrible and feedback was little to none. However, Jarett was awesome and super passionate about his teachings.

Honestly one of the best professors I got this quarter. He is very chill. Yeah there's a lot of reading to do, but it's a history class, of course there is. Overall cool guy, great TAs, good lectures, would take again.
