Reviews of professor Jamie Garner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
By far one of my favorite teachers and classes I've taken so far! Dr. Garner made things so easy and fun to learn and understand. One of the few times I was excited to take the exams (make sure you still study though). There are a few lectures per module, but the work is relatively light compared to other courses. Take this class!

For an intro class, it was way more difficult than expected. There's about 8 modules. The assignments attached to every module are vague, and the professor will only provide guidance if you privately email them. Be prepared to study IPA and find some websites to save your grade, quizzes are based off the lecture and are not on quizlet. Good luck.

Dr. Garner is passionate about linguistics and she is available during office hours! I took this online Summer A and it felt very coherent and manageable. Study guides for the midterm/final are critical to success (extra credit too)! A bit more difficult than expected but fair and interesting. IPA is challenging but you will get through it

Watch the lectures and stay on top of assignments. The quizzes and study guides she sends out for the mid-term and final reflect the exams so make sure to review that material beforehand. Not too much work and assignments are graded fairly.

Took this class online and got an A, but it super test heavy. The midterm and final make up 60% of your grade, but if you keep up with the lectures and study you should do fine. Dr. Garner is very good about responding quickly to emails and is there to help whenever you need. The textbook was unhelpful, but I'd watch the lectures if I were you.

Dr Garner is an awesome professor. This course focused heavily on the TESL aspect of modern english structure so keep that in mind when deciding whether to take the course. Some of the quizzes were difficult but the course was very manageable and fun.

Very knowledgeable about his field. Many assignments during the second part of the semester which is really stressful. There is basically something big due every week. One group project at the end which is 30% of grade. Expect to work hard. Rent textbook. strict with grading. Doesnt accept late work/excuses. Is strict as a professor but nice guy

I have had Dr. Garner for several classes, and I absolutely love them! They did warn us that they can be a little sarcastic, but overall their feedback and teaching style is UNMATCHED! The homework can be a lot sometimes, but it is practical for learning. I wish I had more classes I needed to take that they taught.

Dr. Garner's feedback can sound a little bit snippy, but overall he is a nice person and willing to help students succeed. The assigned readings were long and very technical, but his lectures helped a ton.
