Carl Barlett taught an engaging, high-energy course where he knew students by name and slowed down to clarify difficult concepts. The class had no textbook, relying entirely on lecture notes, which one student found challenging despite Barlett's excellent lecturing. Exams were open-note and based completely on lectures, with one student noting they were tricky due to the lack of straightforward provided content.

Carl Barlett taught RMI 670 with only two graded components, an exam and a project, that students found reasonably low-stress and quick to prepare for. His lectures relied heavily on storytelling and real-world examples, such as discussing active data breaches, rather than relying strictly on textbook material.
