Reviews of professor Patrick Giamario

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Giamario is SUPER knowledgeable about the material that he teaches, I would highly recommend taking him. Don't get me wrong, this class is A LOT of work. But, if you have the mind and patience for deeper/abstract thought, I really recommend this class. This professor is also really understanding when it comes to outside of school issues. 7/10

Will you learn a lot? Absolutely. Will you get a good grade? Probably not. Your grades mostly come from essay writing, in which he will dig for anything he can find wrong, and take off points. I've improved my writing of the essays he assigns, just to get a worse grade than the last.

PSC 270 with Dr. Giamario is really good class overall. Attendance is required and there is a severe punishment for missing lots of class but as long as you attempt the readings as best as you can and do all the writings you will have a good grade. He wants you to participate and talk about these dense readings and it will help a lot with them!!

He's awesome but you definitely have to work hard for a good grade. He also grades pretty hard but if you do the readings you'll be fine. The readings are definitely dense though.

You may get into it with him if your very talented (are believed to want gain something from it), and may not see eye to eye. However, if you handle it well so will he. Once it is handled, he will taking you under his wing and he will polish that potential. Not only you but everyone else's. This professor understands the needs of each student.

To be honest he was not the worst professor I have ever had and I am biased that I am not inclined to this class at all but this was a difficult class. This class is for those who want to read difficult texts and engage critically. There are 6 main essays and 3 secondary. you can resubmit all you want to correct but he is very tough with grading.
