Reviews of professor Patrick Getty

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's super passionate about the material and very funny. The topic of the class is interesting and relevant to everyone's life. He adds to this by having great lecture slides and visuals. Participation is mandatory. Make sure to ask questions, he's great at explaining material in case you didn't understand it/need clarification.

Dr. Getty is an exceptional professor. He makes an effort to make sure his students can understand the material. Lectures are fun and he does a great job getting the entire class to participate. He is funny, easy going, and he builds extra credit into his tests, which is a plus.

Dr Getty is so kind, makes class fun so that nobody is bored, and knows his stuff. He spends a whole day to review for tests, and you can tell he cares about students learning. Participation is required but it's never difficult at all, basically just show up. If you can get him for lecture and lab, DO IT.

Out of all of my profesors at Collin this teacher was by far my favorite. He kept lectures entertaining with jokes and was extremely helpful if you didn't understand something. He's super passionate about geology and the class in general.

Pretty funny dude, his jokes get old and repetitive at times. He makes you get into groups and answer a question for attendance which is 5% of your grade. On review days, he makes you ask a question for attendance. No question  zero even if you were there in class.

Took his 1401 class on Mon, Wed, and Fris. He jokes a lot but it does get old throughout the semester. Students are required to participate in class by doing answering questions with a group of people on a flash card. There are also quizzes, but they are online and are due weekly. Also, there are 2 midterms and a final. Hes really passionate.

Professor Getty is pretty new to Collin and he's an amazing addition. He's so passionate about teaching. I walk by his office almost every day and more often than not he's in there helping a student with something their struggling with. He wants you to get an A and he wants you to know about rocks, if you want the same take his class.

Dr. Getty is an amazing professor!!!! He's hilarious and keeps his students engaged. Anyone who says he's a bad professor obviously didn't do the work or look over their notes. Even if you know nothing about geology you can do good in his class. I've always been bad at science and in his class I actually understand what he talks about.
