Comment:

I took both VIC240 and VIC348 with him in Siena, Italy. I cannot say enough great things about this man. He is an inspiration not only in his field, but in life - one of those professors who IS what he does. He grades fair, gives good constructive criticism, and even better life advice. Take his class, and take advantage of his mentorship.

Comment:

Had Prof. Bartlett for two classes this year (HIS327 is the other) and I can say he was by far my best prof. His passion for the subject is uncontainable and his lectures are very informative and interesting, albeit a little fast-paced. If you attend class and do the readings you should have no problem doing well. Would very highly recommend.

Great prof, lectures were always interesting and really important to do well in the course. It was more like listening to a well told story than to a lecture tbh. He looks a little like colonel sanders which was great too

This man is hilarious - by far the best prof I've had so far at UofT. He talks really fast during lectures so it might be difficult to follow at first, but you get used to it over time. Really get prof, the lectures are very interesting and entertaining - highly recommend him!

He taught one module of VIC225, and it was fantastic. His lectures were funny, highly informative, and he gave the class a lot of freedom when it came to writing the final assignment for that module. He was very easy to talk to, very informative, and just an all around nice guy.

Prof. Bartlett is amazing!! His lectures are great, but be prepared for how quickly he speaks! Despite how fast he talks, he knows how to speak to a large number of students and he definitely keeps you interested. The course itself is a bit difficult in content, but he is very approachable and willing to answer questions and help. Great guy!

Comment:

Speaks too fast during lectures, always arrives late and leaves early, points are always too longwinded, not clear and concise. If you need feedback or need help with your assignments he is of little to no assistance. critical thinking and independent thought are penalized not rewarded. epitome of outdated approach to teaching. recommend avoiding.

Honestly, you can't ask for a better first year prof. His lectures are a little fast but if you pay attention and do the reading you'll come out of it alright.

Absolutely wonderful. Passionate about what he talks about, eccentric and hilarious in lecture. Recommend taking his classes just to have him as a professor.

He brings great lectures and he's very approachable. A lot of readings for a first-year student, but in the end you'll learn how to deal with it.

What a funny professor! His lecture content is huge and may be a little hard to understand given how fast he talks and how much he has to say, but he is a truly inspirational professor. He often cracks sarcastic jokes in lecture, and is the most knowledgeable professor I've seen.

Comment:

Professor Bartlett is one of the best professors I have ever had in my 5 years at U of T! He makes lectures interesting and memorable. I actually enjoyed going to class! He really respects his students and takes time to get to know them. He inspires, empowers, and encourages students to work hard to achieve their full potential.
