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.

Graded on attendance (req.), participation (5%), reading quizzes (20%), midterm exam (20%), term paper (8-10 pgs; 30%) and cumulative final exam (25%). It's an eccentric topic taught by an eccentric prof., but it was a ton of fun! Jarrett loves long-winded class discussions and he's very receptive to students' interpretations. Love the guy!

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!!!!

Fantastic prof, genuinely the funniest guy on campus, relatively difficult compared to others and demands more from his students. His classes are real preparations for academic study in phil, they demand attentive reading and ability to digest and grasp abstract content. Phil 143 is fantastic. There's a reason all his courses are popular.

Jarrett was great - demanding, very interesting, and fair. Very talkative and a lot of information (not just from him but just the course content too), so you have to go to lectures, take notes, and there are reading quizzes. Graded on 3 tests and a paper, so you have to study a lot and well but can improve your grade as the quarter goes on.

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.

He is such a fun professor. His lectures are informative and I like to sit back and just listen to him. He has a super organized class, you know exactly what you will be doing. I really liked this course and highly recommend people to give him a chance. There is not a lot of homework!

very funny and interesting lecturer. 2 discussions per week, 2 quizzes per week, (sometimes) short readings, a midterm, paper, and final. content is straightforward and attendance is absolutely mandatory. class content is very useful and applicable in the real world. If you put the work in, it's possible to get an A.

Professor Jarrett is one of the most unique university profs I've ever had. Quizzes before every class and mandatory participation makes the learning environment intense. Jarrett is tough and expects a lot from his students but the outcome is very rewarding: learning the material better and overall more camaraderie in the classroom.
