Comment:
Garvey is one of the best at Brockport. I had him twice. He is very enthusiastic about his classes. So you should too! Read the required reading as it will help the class discussion move along faster. He is not too strict about paper deadlines, but don't wait to long to submit. There are group projects, but those aren't too bad. Take-home final.

Comment:
I'm torn about Dr. Garvey. He is super chill and his classes are always amusing, but they are also very difficult. He loves participation and group chats, but never explains the theory in clear terms. However, he is one of the most amusing instructors I've ever had. Just difficult to find outside of class for more clarification.

Signed up late for this class, but he was very accommodating. His lectures are very relaxed and it's clear that he values your input in class. Read and be prepared for class to make the discussions flow, other than that, not much work. I would definitely take a class with him again.

Dr. Garvey is great! He is so entertaining he can make early American literature fascinating. My regret is I won't get the chance to take another course with him. I have nothing but good things to say except for that he assigned some online team projects that were useless and aggravating. Other than that, he's one of the best! And he's hilarious!

Greg is great! He is really helpful, if a little goofy at times. Due dates mean absolutely nothing to him. He told us to hand in things whenever we wanted, just as long as we handed something in. He is very helpful with editinglooking over assignments and he gives ample class time to work on these assignments. Other sections were jealous!

Took a class with Garvey back in 1998. Took another class with him in 1999. He wrote me a wonderful letter of rec. Ultimately, he is the reason why I decided to become an English teacher. Like someone said before, there are movies made about professors like Garvey. He's one of a kind.

I took this class for fun, not a good idea. I thought since it was lower level english I could do well and enjoy it during my senior year. There was SO much work every week, not worth it. If you're not an English major, I would stay away.

He is a good professor, but he does not provide clear expectations and guidelines. I took a hybrid class with him and it was very hard to figure out what assignments were do when because he does not have a clear syllabus. He is a good teacher though.

American Lit. Great Class! AMAZING TEACHER! He makes everything fun and is brilliant at what he does. I just wonder why he teaches at Brockport? He could do way better! Totally gorgeous too--that doesn't hurt!

Good for laughs, but it sometimes gets in the way of teaching. He is a brilliant man and it shows. IDK Y he is teaching at Brockport and not out making money for his knowledge and experience.

A great professor. Hilarious, and very useful. Everything he said in class could be used on the papers he wrote. Despite his slightly difficult grading, it was a great experience to take a class with him.

I love Garvey! He is a great professor, very inspiring. He is really out-of-the-box and makes you think like you've never thought before. We had two tests and one paper. He grades the papers hard but is more giving on the tests. Definitely take a class with him if you can!

Garvey is hilarious. If the readings don't pull you in, his personality will. He loves to use voices when he reads which makes you laugh but actually helps. He's a bit crazy but you can tell he loves what he does. He is a thinker. Sometimes he stops in the middle of a lecture to think. He expects you to do the same.
