Reviews of professor Oliver Garretson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
You really don't have to show up to class. The tests are really easy. I usually just went to class in case there was a pop quiz. We only have 2 exams so if I were you, I would bring work for another class and do that during his lecture. That way you won't miss any pop quizzes. Super easy class. Interesting if you're into sociology.

Read the book, and take notes and each test was an easy A. Attendance isn't mandatory, and you should be fine by just reading. He gave a lot of extra credit and was an overall nice guy.

this was an extremely easy class and the professor was an easy grader with all assignments. also gave extra credit that made it impossible to get a bad grade.

horrible professor, easy class. He reads straight from the slides and doesn't go into detail with the material and doesn't really explain it well. you're better off reading the material on your own

Only grades were the midterm and the final exam. He reads directly off the PowerPoint slides. Don't really need the textbook or to go to class if you have those lecture slides.

Garretson was a very quirky guy. His class was non mandatory; however he would give bonus quizzes that could equal al the wya up to 10% of your grade if you did all of them. Many struggled with the tests since they are difficult. Tests are in Himes.
