Reviews of professor Patrick Gardner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He's amazing! From a psychology major who took a random religion class for credit- I enjoyed it! He's caring, funny, and makes it easy to learn.

He's very engaging (had him at 8am) and tries to make things understandable and fun. Would definitely take again.

A lot of other students are saying that Dr. G isn't great, but I would definitely disagree. He has the best lectures out of any class I've taken - one's where you can actually pay attention to! This was the first philosophy class I've taken so I'll admit it was pretty hard to understand but Dr. G definitely made an effort to address any questions.

This man made me want to pull my hair out every time I went to class. If you miss more than 3 classes he deducts a letter grade off your final. Class is super dry and boring. His tests are really hard and his essays are extra. He gives off weird vibes when I went to his office hours. I only recommend taking him if you enjoy religion otherwise noooo

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't think I would like this class at first because of the subject, but Gardner taught his class in a way that made the material interesting. Has weekly comprehension quizzes, but they're straightforward and short. Good professor.

Dr. G was not my cup of tea. His lectures were very boring and dry. Tests where hard and random reading quizzes that I forgot a week later. Attendance is MANDATORY, like really even after covid. Each week there was 1 reading quiz and 1 reading response. Very hard grader. I will not take him again. You've been warned kids.

Dr. Garnder's RSTD 232 class was engaging and interactive. Dr. Gardner's class helped me understand Christianity on a deeper level. I liked how the class lectures/presentations included various images (as I am a visual learner). I always looked forward to class! Great professor!

Dr. Gardner leads lecture heavy classes with a solid discussion component in each of them. A typical course consists of a reading quiz and response every week with two tests and papers. On the papers, he provides you feedback on points to address for future assignments. The man has a dry sense of humor and aims to make classes engaging. Recommend.

Professor Gardner was my Visions in Christianity professor and was very helpful. The quizzes over the weekend were the only homework in the class. Furthermore, the in-class exercises were easy as well. For the test he gives you quizlets but that only helps for multiple choice so look over your notes. I would take one of his classes again.
