Comment:

I took the 3-hour class with Barrett and he made it survivable. He goes off on tangents, mostly "when I was young" stories but is still extremely funny. Let us out 30-40 minutes early most classes. The book is used only once for an in-class assignment.

KB makes every second of class time count! If you're looking for an easy 'A' look elsewhere. His 'no nonsense' method is what has made me respect his manner even more. His lectures are on point with the subject matter. Miss a class and you'll need to catchup before moving on. He is well aware of what happens in class. Dont think otherwise.

Mr. B is awesome! He has so much knowledge and truly cares about his students. You must attend class for lectures and put your phone away, but honestly you will want to go just to hear his personal experiences. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he is more than willing to help you. If you can, TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! You will not regret it!

Comment:

Mr. B was by far the best teacher I have had in my 6 years of palomar. Be prepared to listen to the lectures and write notes and of course study for your tests and you'll be golden. Tests are all multipule choice except the final, which is half written, but if you study it should not be hard. I totally wish I could take more classes with him.

DO NOT EVER HAVE YOUR PHONE OUT IN CLASS! you WILL be dropped a grade point EACH TIME he CATCHES YOU! So long as you adhere to his cellphone policy he is a fantastic professor, very easy. Our final project was a double space 2 page outline. You only need to read about a total of 50 pages, and you almost always get out of class early. Take this Prof

Professor Barrett is one of the best teachers at Palomar! Most of the time his lectures are half educational (Powerpoint) & half personal stories that relate to the material. AJ100 consists of two quizzes, a midterm & final, weekly current events, & a 2 page "essay". He doesn't use Blackboard so if you want to know your grade just ask after class.

Honestly the best teacher at Palomar! Ive taken every class he teaches and he is phenomenal! Very clear about the material (occasionally gets side tracked during lectures), and genuinely cares about his students and your grades! Always there to help! The previous tests are all on midterm and final! Super easy to study and succeed!

I had professor Barrett in the fall semester, and he was awesome. Out of the five classes I was taking his was my favorite. His lectures were educational, but he also told some funny stories relating to the material we were covering. If you take his class BE RESPECTFUL! He is a nice teacher, but he dose not take any bogus class work!!!

He always says funny things and he has a background in law enforcement so if you take administration of justice he's the best teacher to have. He is probably my favorite teacher at Palomar College and I had for 3 classes now.

I am a retired science teacher who took Kevin Barrett's Criminology class just for the knowledge. This man is a role model to all instructors. He obviously cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. His lectures are interesting and create an interest for learning in his students. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL STUDENTS! A+ to Mr Barrett

Easy, easy class. Textbook not needed. Hands out all information you need, none that you don't. Don't miss class, don't get there late, don't leave early. Does a lot of talking, some of the stories are funny, most are irrelevant. Hands out study guides and reviews before tests. Tells you what will be on the test, show up, listen, pass.

By participation I mean: don't dawdle on your phone during class, eat smelly and loud food, or talk while he's talking. He commands and deserves the respect of a professor. Plus, just because he's funny and has great stories, you still need to take him serious enough to listen and study for the tests.

Mr. Barrett is hands down an amazing professor. He has lived it, seen it and done it all when it comes to law enforcement. He is hilarious and tells it like it is. You have to show up, participate and pay attention, he makes you want to be there though. Nothing but respect for him and look forward to having him again next semester.

Kevin is hilarious. This class is easy. There's no reason for you to not get an A if you just take a little time to study. It would honestly just be straight laziness to not get an A in this class.

The kind of man that loves his job and makes you want to be there. You don't have to come to class you'll want to! Study for the test (they are not hard if you study!)

Barrett is easily one of the best teachers i have ever had! He is funny, as well as interesting. He keeps his lectures short and to the point! I learned a lot from him and enjoyed every second of it! He is a pretty easy grader, and gives several extra credit assignments along the way! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
