Reviews of professor Thomas Barrett

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS- TAKE THIS COURSE BEFORE CS40!!!! I took this course just to satisfy a GE but to my complete surprise SO much of the material in this course was used in computational theory, since Phil 3 is a lot of logic and symbol-ing. I never would've expected it. Barrett is really nice, reasonable, manageable workload, great for a GE.

A perfect professor! As a freshman, I just felt a little bit uncertain about my college academics especially considering the fact that I have never taken any PHIL classes before. But his detailed and patented interpretation really made the hard stuff easy and fascinating. He's also quite accessible outside class. Everything are just perfect!

Professor Barrett Is a really nice guy. I took this class to fulfill a GE, however I didn't expect logic to be a discrete type of math, I heard someone also compare our homework to concepts found in a computer science class. So because I am terrible with math this class has been challenging for me, I do kind of wish  I would've taken philosophy 4.

Professor Barrett is one of the best professors I've had at UCSB. He is very engaging and genuinely invested in how his students do. Attendance is not mandatory and is extra credit. All problems on the midterm and final are taken directly from the study guide. One of the best GE classes at ucsb, I cannot recommend professor Barrett's class enough!

I took this class as a GE but really enjoyed the material due to how Barrett would conduct the class. The homework is very manageable, only taking around 30 minutes a week, and the grading is very generous. Barrett is an amazing professor who genuinely cares for his students. He is easily one of the best professors I've had at UCSB.
