Reviews of professor Robert Garman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great Professor! He ends class early if the classwork is completed. Sometimes the assignments are confusing, and the prompts are very vague, but he is a lenient grader. If you don't do the assignments, he will give the whole class more assignments.

Writing 10 is fairly easy since most of your grade consists of assignments that support the final essay. Although, this professor doesn't give good feedback nor has clear grading criteria. If you are looking for a good professor I would recommend Micheal Elkins.

honestly one of the best WRI professors. he is straight up and tells you what needs to be done. gives great feedback on your essays! read the novels he assigns because he does call on people to make sure you read it!

had him last semester, and he's hilarious. most classes are class discussions about the reading (expect a fair amount of reading weekly). he gives amazing feedback on your work, and grades very fairly. super great teacher to take!!

Took this class Fall 2020, so it was completely online. When he did hold zoom, they would only be for 30 mins, never the two hours. About one assignment a week, all in preparation for one essay due at the end of the semester. No reading, no tests. You choose the topic of your essay and take the entire semester to formulate it. Also Fair grader

Garman doesn't mess around. You better come to class prepared. However, he does have a great way of making all of the material relevant by using real-world examples. He obviously does a lot of prep work outside of class to supplement the lectures that are already on the syllabus for everyone in CORE. Best professor at UC so far.

Loved his class! I had him for 7:30 am and he was very adamant about attendance being mandatory. He does not take the full 2 hours and teaches what he needs to teach. He has a clear grading criteria, funny, and I like how all of the assignments lead up to an argumentative essay. My writing improved overall, and I created a strong essay.

This was a very easy class, but I enjoyed going to the lectures even though they were very short. He really cares and the feedback is very useful. Assignments are simple and there was no exam just the final paper.

He is straight up with what needs to be done. Makes the class really fun with his humor. He is dedicated to helping you improve as long as you put effort as well. Best professor I have so far.

Prof. Garman was a great Professor his assignments were not solely just essays. It was a mix of in-class activities, individual work, and two group projects. Some of his prompts are a little unclear but you can ask him any questions since he is accessible outside of class. He does a good job of incorporating various types of writing as well.
