Reviews of professor Charles Garrettson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Garrettson truly cares for his students; his love for his job is so unique and special. The classes consist of lectures and grades consist of papers. Essays only have one requirement: for students to think freely for themselves and their idea of what Religion is. This class is not only thought provoking but absolutely enjoyable!

BEST PROFESSOR BY FAR!!!!! You can tell he really cares about his students. only 5 essays which are super easy (theres 1 midterm, 2 finals). He's easily accessible outside of class, responds faster to texts. Also, he keeps the class fun and engaging with interesting topics which are discussed all throughout the course. Overall, amazing professor!!

AMAZING PROFESSOR! Super inspirational, interesting lectures. Loves to go in depth with those argue kinda lectures about how do we know this, how do we know that? What does it mean to know? He jokes around a lot and is just a good man to watch and listen to. Only 4 essays. No silly assignments, just 2 take home essays, midterm, and final essays

I wish that Dr. Garrettson taught within my major so I could take other classes taught by him. Huge engaging personality and meaningful lectures. In every interaction he makes students feel like they matter. It's important to read the assignments and pay attention to class discussions or you will lost. Tests were open note essay format.

One of the best classes I have ever taken. One of the few teachers who cares more about teaching then grading homework and tests. With that said, there are no tests just 3-4 essays that are based on class discussions. You do have to read a lot but can get away with just paying attention in class (I did). Perhaps the best Gen Ed you could take.

Please take this professor! He is one of the best professors I have ever had simply. He pushes you to think outside of the box and he's always joking around so class usually doesn't get boring. It's a literature class so it was only 4 essays 25% each. His grading is very fair and he is always willing to give a student an extension.

Professor Garrettson can be very intimidating at first; I was about to drop his class, but stayed and realized he's teaching a lot of valuable information. He has a unique way of thinking, and if you go to class, you'll see what he's expecting for the quizzes, midterm and final which are all in-class essays, so attend and you'll get an A.

Prof G is such a caring professor. He's incredibly kind and sympathetic and down to talk about life. The class is based on a Socratic method and requires a lot of participation and discussion. There are occasional readings and papers but overall such an easy class. Class discussions can get off topic but I would recommend Prof G to everyone.
