Comment:
He's really awkward and quirky. The test are matching and true false and then he tells you the the essays prior to the test so it wasnt too bad. honestly i never paid attention and didnt do poorly, ive opened my book once so id say you could do without

Comment:
He's a sporadic lecturer. It was very difficult to take notes. Luckily, the majority of the material on the test is from the book. You must read the book to do well on the test. Overall, it's not a difficult class and Garrett isn't a bad professor. I don't suggest it if you have a real interest in philosophy, but it's fine as a gen-ed.

Comment:
Garrett is very knowledgable, but for ethical theory there is a lot of reading. He is also very lecture oriented-very little discussion. You should also be prepared to spend A LOT of time on Marx, Marxism, socialism, etc. His teaching style is different from the rest of the dept (Adrian, Bain-Selbo..) so its a jolt.

Dr. Garrett is a bit hard to warm up to at first, but he is very knowledgeable and appreciates students who are interested in Philosophy. I really enjoyed his class.

i took introduction to philosophy with Jan Garrett, it wasn't that bad but kind of boring- i wouldn't recommend this class but if you do get stuck with it look up Jessica Bird on facebook, she has the text book and you can buy it from her for cheap--

a little dull at first but if you keep up with the readings and study for the tests, garret is actually really fun. socially motivated, genuinely wants to help students.

Garrett is one of the best professors you'll ever have. I know on the surface he seems boring - but if you keep up with the readings you'll be surprised at how FUNNY he is! Inside jokes right and left - and he NOTICES who understands the humor.
