Reviews of professor Thomas Barrett

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Thomas was one of the reasons why I switched to philosophy!! He is an awesome professor and very caring for his students. Office hours tend to be very helpful and fun. Tests were not extremely difficult but will be challenging if you don't practice enough, practice is very important!!! overall, great professor

professor barrett is awesome! he really makes the class engaging. i'm not a phil major, however i felt that the class was pretty easy/understandable for a GE. barrett is very caring and accessible with his students and i highly recommend him! for my class (phil 3) we had weekly homework, 2 midterms, and a final. attendance was extra credit!

As a STEM major, I found the first 2/3 of the class esoteric af & impractical.  However, after living in OHs & asking for the core ideas to be explained like I'm five years old, I got a lot out of 100F!

 Overall: Did 1/10 readings, cried a little, religiously went to OHs (Thomas is wonderful), and wrote some of the best papers of my life

This class felt like a lie because it was such an easy chill class. As long as you go to lectures you don't really need the textbook. Attendance is mandatory and graded. Homework every week, but each only took me about 30 minutes to do. Thomas really cares about his students, as do the TAs! (and his dog is super cute on top of that).

Super interesting lecture. Gives a lot of extra credit, and attendance also counts as extra credit. Highly recommend Phil3, it's super fun and easy A.

I LOVE PROFESSOR BARRETT. He has really made me consider double majoring in Phil 3. My TA Tiffani, was absolutely amazing! Professor Barrett was so thorough with lectures and provided much assistance outside of class. All tests are from study guide with much support while studying. PLEASE CONSIDER TAKING THIS CLASS

Professor Barrett is an extremely kind and funny teacher. He is very accessible and helpful. These concepts are difficult to grasp, but he moves at a fair pace and holds office hours frequently. This course was really useful and teaches you how to think logically. 2 midterms, 1 final, weekly homework worksheets, attendance for lecture and section.

I took 100F this past fall '23 qtr and it was great! Thomas is my favorite professor at ucsb fs. Attendance wasn't mandatory but it was offered as extra credit at the end of the quarter. The grade was based on 3 "medium" papers, 2 "short" papers, and the extra credit attendance quizzes.
