Reviews of professor Michael Gariety

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Amazing professor! He is so passionate about astronomy, you can tell he genuinely likes teaching it. I always show up to lecture excited to learn because he just makes it so interesting. He's one of the few professors i've had that have impacted my thinking deeply. As long as you take good lecture notes you should be fine.

Absolutely a pleasure having Mr. Gariety. Attendance is not mandatory but is important for labs and understanding the content. Wish I took his class earlier in my college journey so I could take another class with him but I am thankful he was my professor. Very knowledgeable in physics and loves student interaction. 10/10

Worst professor ever. Such an easy class but his grading system is dumb. I received a 89.954% in the class and he gave me a final grade of a B. I emailed him for an explanation which was that takes the average of homework, quizzes, exams, and homework which becomes your final grade. If there is another professor available, don't take Gariety!

Professor Gariety is one of the best Professors at COD! You can tell he really cares for his students and wants you to understand the material. You have quizzes with every chapter and 3 exams but if you read your text, do the HW, listen to lecture and just pay attention you'll be sure to pass!

Great professor. Easy lectures to follow along with, all lectures are recorded then posted on canvas. Labs are a bit easier since they're just online simulations. Textbook is necessary to study and to understand lecture better also must buy mylab for hw which is mandatory which is kind of pricey. take this class promise you won't regret it

Professor Gariety is an amazing physics professor. His lectures are decent, but he is extremely accessible outside of class. He is always willing to help and really really wants you to be successful in his class. Would recommend! P.S. Get ready for the cheesy dad jokes!
