Reviews of professor Gareth Park

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very condescending, doesn't clarify anything when you email him to ask questions just says refer to the syllabus. Because of Covid-19 I had to do his class online and his recorded lectures are awful you are so distracted by the mess he has on his kitchen table in the background that you cant even pay attention I stopped watching. Avoid if you can

Professor Park put in a lot of effort for this course. He would hold lots of Q&As before each assignment to clarify things for anyone who was feeling confused which helped A TON! However, I do see why there are such poor ratings. He would often come off as condescending and make us regret asking anything in the first place. Very tough course load.

I enjoyed Gareth as a prof. He takes his time with feed back and will meet with you anytime to discuss an assignment. Given this was a 2000's level course he was a little intense about it. He is the type of prof that is not aware of how smart he is and sometimes has a hard time breaking down complex concepts to students. Great prof nonetheless!

SO. I am not one to bash my professors, but this man is possibly the worst instructor I ever had. His grading criteria are iffy, even if he tells you exactly what to write and you do it he won't even give you an A. He is a mess, and I am sorry for anyone that has to take this mans course.

The structure for his assignment are very clear, he practically gives you an outline that you just need to fill in which is very appreciated. However, I did not find him to be engaging at all. Just talks for hours when 90% of what is said is filler and isn't needed. Huge bell curve simp, inconsistent marking just to get the range. Not a fan.

Gareth is absolutely the most condensing professors I've ever had in both universities I attended. He is extremely rude, doesn't offer constructive feedback, and will blatantly tell you, you "may not even belong in the program at all" when you go to him for help on assignments. Every single person I knew had negative experiences with them.
