Reviews of professor Christopher Gabler

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took his PHYS253 in Fall of 2022. Prof Gabler left 13 HW/Labs ungraded by the end of the term, and lectures were just reading slides. Lectures involved only basic problems, homework had problems that we were not taught how to solve. Exams were as easy/surface level as lecture. He seemed like he tried his best, but seemed unfocused on our course.

Awesome class and instruction. Astronomy is super amazing, and he wanted us to learn as much as we could and the short summer session. I highly recommend it.

I took ASTR112 along with ASTR 110. It is a General Astronomy class. I loved this class! Prof Gabler even brought coffee to class! Very nice guy and was passionate about teaching astronomy. He did expect students to be in class. Was not tolerating students coming in late while the class started, and watching a video, etc. Excellent!

Astronomy is more than just the stars and constellations. Be prepared to study, yet I found it worth the effort and rewarding. Prof Gabler does care about the success of the students, will give study guides, practice tests with answers. Some in the class did not study and got the lower grades. Highly recommended.

This is the best astronomy class to take. I learned tons of information, and was able even to earn an A in the class that I thought was too hard. The instructor was super helpful and encouraged discussion in the classes, was kind to us, and even served coffee every so often.

Great guy. Makes the class easy and tries to help people understand the material. Gives helpful handouts and practice tests, powerpoints, and also uses videos to help teach, so you're not just listening to a 2 and a half hour lecture. Encourages questions even outside of class and takes time to answer and explain them. Adjusts to students needs.

The class in general seemed to be slow to learn the subject material, since he gave out lots of assignments in class. We got behind on the course outline, but he is a very fair grader. Professor Gabler offered to help me find a summer internship, and suggested some topics to do for an independent study. Extra credit is a plus here.

ASTR112 is a General Astronomy lab class. We met every week to learn about stars, telescopes, the craters of the Moon, and things related to it. It was super interesting. Prof Gabler even brought coffee to class! Super good with the students. You couldn't skip class, you wouldn't get credit for it.

He knows his material really well and is willing to help with any questions. Engage in the lectures and he gives out practice exams and study guide and you're set! Professor Gabler is awesome! He is so kind and definitely cares about all of his students. He is extremely helpful and gives you all the resources you need to get an A.
