Not that Gene needs another glowing review, but here it is: TAKE ANYTHING YOU CAN WITH GENE! Super interesting, makes subjects easy to understand... I am a Commerce major and I almost had enough Soc credits for a minor just b/c I loved Gene's classes so much. He is the man!

Best prof at SMU! Lectures are interesting, he's funny, you have to go to class, its best to take pictures of the slides and type them later as he goes fast. Definitely get the clicker it will boost your mark. Everything's multiple choice and he is real easy to talk to.

Hes an awesome prof but you have to attend class in order to do well. Also highly suggest taking the clicker quizzes that he offers can boost you grade immensely because the replace the lowest grade you got on the test. Overall GREAT classes I learned a lot :)

Had this prof my entire first year! Super amazing, Really funny and great topics. Intro to Soc is a little dry, But Power Relations is awesome. If you attend everyday and write all of his notes the class should be a breeze! Never used the textbook and still passed. Highly recommend him for any first year, or anyone interested in Soc.

Amazing prof. Easy to get personal with. He cares about every single student and wants to help you as long as you help yourself. You need to study, and he does not post notes so always write notes from the class. But he is fair, and there are only 3 exams. No extra work

BEST PROF. I've taken 4 classes with him in my four years and he is hands down one of my top 2. He cares about his students and makes everything fun so the students don't get bored. He is easy to talk to if you don't understand something. I'd highly recommend his classes, you won't be sorry!

Worst prof yet! Going to his class was painful. I attended every class and took awesome notes, studied my butt off and only got a C! He doesn't post his slides so you HAVE to take notes which is near impossible because he goes so fast! His exams are horrible! It's all multiple choice but he tries to trick you with them. Just a bad prof!!!!!

Very interesting prof - very engaged in his topics. Loves to get the class involved, which is awesome in a class of 100+. Doesn't post his lectures online so attendance is mandatory. Open book clicker quizzes can be substituted for in class exams which is awesome for a boost in your mark. Overall, great prof and a very interesting course.

Awesome Prof and a great guy. Very funny and very knowledgeable. The course isn't as easy as you would think those looking for an 'easy A' elective. Interested in the subject, take it with him.

Amazing prof and interesting subject matter! This was my first class in university and he made me feel at ease right away! A great course if you are looking for an interesting and rather easy elective! Mark is made up of 3 exams with the option of clicker quizzes to boost your mark. He's very funny and interesting to listen to. Genuinely cares.

He is an awesome professor. He makes the class laugh 24/7, he really cares about the students, he tries to help you as much as possible. basically, if you show up to class, take notes and read the book, you'll ace the class.

Barrett is super awesome! He always tries to engage the class and he brings his own ideas and content into his powerpoints. I was always looking forward to going to his class. Make sure to attend class as he will use a lot of images from classes on the exams. Loved him, a wonderful, well-rounded prof!

Come to class and learn the concepts he has on the outline at the beginning. 2 midterms and a final, all multiple choice. If you put in any effort you'll get a decent mark. Barrett is enthusiastic and teaches the content really well. Definitely recommend for first year sociology classes.

Love this guy. Tries to make class interesting so you actually go. Doesn't post powerpoints which is frustrating, but does post SOME. You don't need to go to class if you do the readings he assigns before each mid term. Though he does ask direct questions on exams asking what his personal opinion was on certain subjects

Who doesn't love Gene Barrett? No projects, no assignments...this was definitely my kind of class. Subject matter was interesting, and Gene plays funky music before you enter the classroom. Intro Soc is a good time with Gene.

Very helpful professor and nice person.... does push his left-wing agenda a little more than he should, but that's to be expected from University professors
