Comment:

Worst professor ever. He speeds through the lectures expecting everyone to already know everything. Doesn't explain thoroughly. I would go to office hours and ask questions which would never get answered. No study guides, just tells you to read the book. If it wasn't because he curved the grades everyone would fail, no exaggeration.

Comment:

Seeing as there's no such thing as a free lunch, you'll have to do some work in this course if you want an "A". However, it's attainable if you go to class, take notes, do the reading, ask questions, and study some. You will learn more intermediate concepts in 1010, but you'll get your money's worth. You'll get some laughs along the way, too.

Comment:

This man lives from your tears like a gypsy. The graphs you derive must be perfect. Always ask questions and try not to miss a class. It really helps when you go by his office, he is extremely helpful but is not afraid to tell you how dumb you are in-front of class or one on one. Everyone usually does so bad on the exams, he must curve by 20pts

Coming to class and taking notes is critical to receiving a good grade in this class. Garrett is a great professor who truly knows his craft. I thought this would be a hard class, but I made an A+ and thought it was easy throughout.

Comment:

I made an A+ in this class. At the end of the semester, Garrett emailed me with praises about how well I had done in his class. Here is the advice he told me to give:Well the course is somewhat deep, but it’s not that impossible. In fact it’s a moderately easy A for most students if they are good workers ( about 25 students got A's in your class ).

If you attend Professor Garrett's class, pay attention, and read the assigned readings, you will do very well in the class. All of his tests are over the exact material covered in class so if you attend class and take notes you shouldn't have a problem.

Garrett is a great professor and entertaining public speaker. All you have to do is go to class and take good notes and you'll be more than fine. The readings provide a framework for the material, but your notes are far more important. Take this class. You'll learn a lot

Comment:

Dr. Garrett was by far my favorite professor this semester! His course is very straightforward, and he tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed in his class. READ THE CHAPTERS (I can't stress this enough), take notes, and show up to class and you'll get an A, guaranteed! He's a pleasure to listen to, and is a great guy! - Seth Colon

Comment:

For students who are logical, who are good at math, who enjoy or at least can understand abstract ideas, this class is a breeze. Professor Garret is very clear in his teaching, making sure to emphasize hard-to-grasp concepts. The most important thing is to show up to class and to take good notes

Comment:

Dr.Garrett's class was my first economics class ever. Your grade consists of unannounced quizzes, two tests, and a final. Come to class, take good notes (and review them),and do the readings--you will do well in his class. I made a B, and I worked full time and am a chemistry major.Dr. Garrett is a very reasonable and interesting teacher.

Very good professor. You will have to work in this class(it is college after all), but it is not hard to make an A. Go to class, take notes and do the readings and you will be fine.

This class is taught by a great professor who knows what he's talking about. Passing the class requires studying and going to class, but it is not hard if you put in the extra effort. It's an easy A if you study.

Professor Garrett is the man! He is a great teacher, and he loves Economics. His sense of humor is hilarious, you will quickly catch on to his sarcasm. Although don't expect to walk into his class and just make an A. You have to earn it. Go to class, take notes, and read the text book. He gives a generous curve. I Learned so much in this class!

Comment:

Garrett was a great professor! Even though we covered some relatively complex economic theories, he did a great job of making it understandable for everybody. It is definitely possible to make an A in this class as long as you show up for class and take good notes. Almost all of the material on the tests and quizzes come from his lectures.

Professor Garret was funny and his lectres were entertaining. Lets face it Econ isn't super interesting but he d a good job of it. All I did to get an A was go to class every day and review my notes right before class. Quiws were unannounced so the pre class review is important. Just go to class and pay attention and this class is easy.

Professor Garrett is a great teacher and is willing to help anyone, but you have to put forth the effort in the class. You have to attend every class because so much material is covered but simply reviewing the notes after every lecture really helped me. Studying your notes and reading the book are a must but it is possible for anyone to get an A.

Comment:

Professor Garrett is by no means an easy teacher, and if you aren't the type of person to work for your grade then he's not for you. That being said, he is an awesome teacher with a brilliant mind. He's a HUGE liberal but all economist are, and his comments are really more funny than insulting. If you care about the quality of a class, take Garret.
