Reviews of professor Patrick McGrath

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I would say pretty average, uses a flipped lecture format where majority of the class is doing a worksheet. I found the material he taught and the way he taught it fairly standard.

smart guy, but not the best lecturer. didn't seem very approachable, glad he only taught half the semester.

He doesn't lecture but instead uploads videos for us to watch on our own time at 2x speed. If you took IB/AP Bio and had a pulse then his portion of genetics will be a breeze to learn. Quizzes are super tricky and weighted heavily. HW is designed to waste your time but TAs will help. He was helpful when asked but definitely came off apathetic.

I'm glad I took Dr. McGrath for genetics. His teaching style is more activity based rather than lecture heavy. He only lectures for 20 mins or so and the rest of class time is given to do group activities. Make sure you read the textbook for the chapters covered on the test since his powerpoints don't always cover everything for the test.

Obviously this is the mans first time teaching or first time in front of a large group of people. He doesnt understand the concept of studio. He will give you overwhelming assignments and you will have to do them at home because he literally spends the entire 4 hours going around judging work. No breaks and holds class if hes not done talking.

The first thing you need to know is that this is an Architecture class, it is going to be difficult. Mr. McGrath knows this and works with you. If you ask him for help he will help direct you but in the end you decide what you want to do. He is one of the easier professors for studio while still being difficult. Leave class early expect to fail!!!

Very knowledgable and involved

He recorded the lecture as short videos so we could watch or re-watch as needed and then provided the class time for us to work on exercises to reinforce what he taught. He and the TA were both available and extremely helpful.

He's alright. Nice guy and all, but he feels unapproachable and somewhat cold.
