Great teacher!!! One of the best at clark by far. He really cares about his students and tries to make the class fun. He gives quizzes weekly but they're not to hard and you get two chances to take it. If you have the chance to take his class DO IT!!!
Great Teacher, really cares about his students. Really wants everyone to get a good grade. Take him if you can, you wont regret it!
A very silly light hearted fellow who seems to be the clumsy nerd type. He's funny and very caring for his students. I had an absolute blast in his class and I recommend him 100%. Take any class that he teaches, you will not regret it.
An awesome teacher, he is goofy and has a sense of humor. He really wants to give a good grade, if you fail this class you didn't try.
If you show up and participate in every activity, and actually try on the assignments, you will get an A. There are plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Garrett is goofy and a fun teacher.
He is a funny,kinda goofy teacher at times but wants you to leave his class knowing more that what you came with.Do the work try your your best you will walk away knowing more and a good grade.
He is just AMAZING! asks you what you want to learn about in the beginning of the quarter and actually teaches the class based on the interests. SUUUPER easy and leniant... gives extra days for work to be turned in and stuff.. funny, goofy, really cares about his students. for the physical part you just play games lik even tag , cardio, resistance
By far one of the best I've had. Very lenient, knowledgeable and has an interesting sense of humor that you'll love!Teaches class based on what the majority wants to learn about. I always had a smile on my face when I walked into class! I doubt anyone DOESN'T like him, you won't regret it.
Garrett is really helpful, i took this class online and whenever i had a question he answered right back. I definitely recommend him.
AWESOME!! best teacher ever. funny, interesting and really cares about his students! i would take this class again any day!! super easy but still fun!
Garret is fantastic. He's fun, caring, and intelligent. He's lenient on work. If you show up and participate - you pass. He's a very happy - bouncey kind of guy full of energy that you can't help but smile at. I, like others before me, can't imagine anyone not liking Garrett..or failing his class. If you fail its because you didn't go to class.
Incredible instructor who knows what he's talking about. His teaching style is laid back, but you are expected to attend as much as possible. If you miss four or five labs, you cannot pass the class. That said, he's incredibly lenient and provides a few online assignments. Some are very long, but the material isn't what I'd call difficult.
I've taken many of Garrett's classes he has a great sense of humor and practices what he teaches which makes classes fun and even entertaining at times. Garrett 's requirements are simple attend class and do the work. If you do these things you will come out of his classes knowledgeable and rewarded for your efforts.
There's not much to be said about a health & fitness class, which surprises me that this instructor was as informing and helpful as he was. Hoyt has a great personality. Even if you don't enjoy the class material, you'll be happy to have him as an instructor. No regrets!
Good and interesting class!!!!!!!!!
Garrett is an awesome guy, with a huge passion for the environment. Your required to participate in discussions, but the topics covered in class discussions are easy to contribute to. Easy class, easy A if you do the work.
The best teacher I have had at Clark College so far. First class he said "I am here to change your life, of course only if you are willing, but my goal is to change your life." And well he changed my life for the better. All homework is submitted online or done in class, and all things you turn in online he will make a personal comment to help you.
Although Garrett is a fun teacher, when it comes to grading assignments he is really confusing. For a two credit class, the work is simply not worth it. The way he grades his assignments is questionable and causes problems. One other thing is that some of the stuff he teaches is inaccurate at times ad not credible.
Great teacher! Its an easy A if you do the assignments and show up to class. He is an extremely easy grader. I got 100% on all my assignments. They are extremely easy. He is hilarious and the class is never boring. If you get the chance to take his class TAKE GARRETT you wont regret it and you'll be laughing the whole time.
Garrett was a great teacher, and provided a very entertaining class. He is passionate about the subject matter, and he really cares about the students. The health class goes far beyond physical health to discuss every possible aspect of health. The fitness portion of the class is varied and informative. Garrett will push you to improve your life.
I would take this class from Garrett over and over. He is one of the most amazing teachers I've had. You can't miss more than 4 days or you fail the class however he makes the class fun and enjoyable everyday and makes the class personal so everyone has a connection with everyone, he truly cares to improve your life.
Out of the plethora of teachers I have had during my school career, Garrett Hoyt is by far my favorite. He truly cares about his students and wants them to pass. He lives out what he teaches and is absolutely hilarious. If I could, I would take every class he offers. I would recommend him in a heart beat to everyone at Clark College.
It was my first class at Clark college and I loved it! I got a chance to get to know other students, we would have conversations about our subjects in small groups and at the end of the quarter we played a game to fully understand the cycle of trash. You can tell that he's very into his subjects. Now I want to be more environmentally friendly.
Garrett is an awesome professor. He genuinely cares about your health and well being. Show up for class & do the weekly assignments easy A. He'll do his best to make it fun and always do something different. Clark needs more teachers like Garrett. He's a great person.
This class is half lecture half lab and the labs are always fun. Garrett makes this class really fun and everyone feels involved. There aren't any tests but there is a final paper/presentation.
I have enjoyed my class with Garrett soooo much. He is by far my favorite professor and I wouldn't mind taking this class again and again. There is literally no coursework done, it's all mainly done at home. We spent our time in class just talking and joking, honestly. He's such a fun cool guy and his jokes always have everybody dying.
Garrett was an incredibly helpful, fun, and funny teacher! He really cares for his students and his expectations were always clear and never hard to accomplish. There was weekly work but it was not hard to keep up on. Over all this was a very enjoyable class and I definitely recommend taking it!
Hoyt is very passionate about his subject and there were many great discussions in class. He likes you to have your own opinion and not to be afraid of sharing it in class. 100 points possible in the class, so any points missed WILL drop your grade significantly. Assignments are not difficult, just turn in on time and do it right. Fun class!
I took Mind and Body health with Garrett and I thought it was going to be the lamest class ever but it was actually super fun. We had interesting and in-depth discussions and I especially liked meditation and yoga too. This class is super chill and it's a pretty easy A. He's also very funny in an awkward sort of way. I highly recommend this class.
Very easy class, just make sure you do the assignments and you'll be good to go. Garrett is hilarious and easily excited by anything having to do with environmental health. Pretty easy grader too. I would take one of his classes again if I had to.
He was great. We had to read a book, but it wasnt so bad. He made the class time go by quick.
Garrett is a super cool and funny guy. The homework is weekly, but minor. He strives to make students challenge themselves, but nothing too extreme. Overall, his class was awesome and I recommend it.
i honestly loved his class. he is a super nice and caring guy. class was actually pretty fun. the lab part was usually pretty easy. if you show up and do the assignments you'll pass with an a. assignments don't take any longer than 30 minutes to do. 10/10 would recommend.
his class was kind of boring because it's mind and body health but he made it fun. he appreciated my sarcasm which is great. he will tell you to lighten up a bit if you're always negative like me. we didn't really use the book, tbh. the labs were always fun but he has pretty eh music taste and HE NEVER LET US PLAY DODGEBALL W THE YOGA BALLS:((
An amazing teacher. Weekly homework, but it's nothing too hard. If taking HPE 266 the lab portion is quite stress-relieving. Take his class if you want a class you can enjoy and have a good time in. He's a very genuine person and always manages to make the class laugh. 10/10 recommend taking this class if you ever get the chance to.
Garrett was an incredible instructor to me! He was very understanding. He was also very sarcastic and witty! Hands-down I would take his class again. He grades on participation and attendance. His classroom is pretty flipped, which I loved. With him, the effort you put in is the grade you get.
Professor Hoyt was awesome! I had him for an environmental health class and it was an informative and easy class. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for an easy health class. Attendance is mostly mandatory, can't miss more than like three classes.
Garrett is such an awesome teacher. If you're looking for a go with the flow laidback class, then this is it. He is extremely helpful and treats everyone as an equal. Has fun activities and just an overall fun class to take.
His sarcasm was the best. His lectures were really inspiring and it really made you think about your actions. His class was never boring and he did alot of cool activities.
Such an understanding and cool teacher. Wish I had taken him in person, because he was entertaining and interesting. This class was helpful for not just school, but life in general.
He is an incredible instructor. He has a very outgoing personality and a huge sense of humor. Always makes jokes. But he tries keeping the class lively enough to keep your interest and attention. He always makes sure you understand the material and is one of the more comfortable instructors that does his best to give you the tools to pass.
One of the best teachers at Clark. You can really tell he enjoys teaching mental and physical health. There are weekly assignments, but they're very easy to do. He gives very good feedback , and he is really funny. I definitely recommend!
I took this class my first quarter at Clark. This professor is incredible! The work is really easy. You basically just have to read two short chapters every week and write a couple sentences about them. The most we had to do in his class was write a short essay but it was from our point of view so it only took about half an hour to write.
Garrett is a wonderful professor. One online discussion a week that's pretty easy and the final is a presentation that's easy. If you participate you get more out of the class. He cares for his students and is easy to get ahold of. If I could I would take him again because if you show up this class is an easy A.
I took Environmental Health and enjoyed the class. Garrett is an open-minded individual and a pleasure to have in class. He assigns a very reasonable amount of homework and as long as you participate, you will do well.
Absolutely loved Garrett. He's really clear about how he grades and he genuinely cares about his students. The class was also very easy but make sure you turn assignments in on time. The amount of time he gives students to work on assignments is very doable.
A very worldly professor! Helpful with assignments and very supportive. I took this to replace my PE requirements, and it was so worth it. I didn't expect to like meditating this much!
Garrett is the easiest grader. You barely have to try to pass this class, by far the easiest class I've ever taken. The class is purely based on opinion so any assignments that are done are basically just reading an article and giving a paragraph of what you thought about it. Best teacher at clark hands down. Easy 100%
Garrett is seriously one of the best professors I've had at Clark and deserves a 5.0 rating. He respects everyone's opinions and encourages healthy learning. Yor read 2 chapters a week and do a short discussion about them. You do have to show up to both lecture and lab for attendance to count but lab is mediating and yoga most times which is fun.
Garret was a really kind teacher. He always wants everyone to do their best, and genuinely works to make sure his classes are helping everyone out.
Garrett's focus is on inspiring students to make life changes. His teaching style is relaxed, and he covers a variety of informative topics. Lab was designed to offer many exercise activities, and the best part was meditating in a different way each day. Overall, it was not a difficult class, but it was life changing.
Garrett is such a good teacher! He's very caring about all of his students and makes everything super enjoyable. I took Mind Body Health with him and it was my most enjoyable class at Clark so far. He's funny and loves to share stories and be open. Highly recommend!
I took HPE online, no textbook, easy A! Professor Hoyt is super caring and understanding and you can reach out to him about anything! There are a lot of assignments but they are easy and quick. Labs can be time consuming but usually very easy. You can take quizzes with the material open. Grades on participation and effort. Best from 10/10 TAKE IT!!
Garrett is a great instructor, very relatable and fun. He gives great feedback and is flexible/understanding about life. He will work with you if you communicate with him. Very nice guy. He practices all assignments as well. Participating is important, his class is tailored toward making you feel better about yourself.
Took this class online due to COVID, but he still did a great job teaching! Overall an awesome guy who cares about his students. During the course you learn about different topics (mindfulness, communication, etc.) while doing exercise labs along the way. You also do a weekly storytelling zoom with a small group, which was really enjoyable!
Professor Garrett is the best professor ever. His lectures are amazing. All the assignments are pretty easy, and you can accomplish the weekly module in 5-6 hours. He tells interesting stories and I love his weekly Zoom storytelling time.
I am glad I took his class, I learned so much! He has a 2-week leniency for everything, and I wish other professors would do this. There is usually a quiz, a discussion, and about 2-3 labs on each module. they're pretty easy to do and get done. The storytelling was my favorite because we actually got to meet some of our classmates through zoom.
Garrett was exceptionally funny, He cares for his students and puts a lot of work into helping them in their personal, professional, academic, and mental wellness. I would not say this is an "easy A" but he does make it very easy to get an A. His grading policy is very kind but should not be taken advantage of.
This is by far one of the best classes I have taken at Clark! Professor Hoyt truly cares about his students. I took the class because I was looking to gain knowledge on spiritual connections through meditation and such and this class was just that. There are quite a few assignments but they are not tough at all. Super fun class! :)
I LOVED Garrett as my professor. He was the most sweetest, caring, and funniest teacher Ive ever had. Hes understanding and he cares for every single one of his students. You can talk to him anytime about anything. The work is fairly easy and straight to the point, just make sure you do your assignments. He taught me a lot of things.
LOVE HIM! He is so caring, lenient, understanding, and funny. Every week you have a few assignments, maybe a quiz, and a lab. He excepts labs up to 2 weeks late! Discussion every week where you tell a story via zoom or canvas (zoom is super easy.) Lenient due dates and course is easy. He is a great professor :) CHOOSE HIM ISTG THERE'S NO ONE BETTER
Not very clear. Seemed confused about his own expectations. Pretty easy if you are only looking for a good grade and not to learn anything. Also required us to meet with others when it was supposed to be a totally online course with no meetings.
This class is super easy. Just show up and youll pass. If you are absent you can just do the work online and hell give you the missing points. There is an assignment each week but its super easy and shouldnt take you more than a few minutes to do it. If you need a pen or health credit I recommend him.
At first I didnt really take this class seriously but when I finally did it was great! he really cares about his students and helping them succeed! if you do the labs and answer them honestly and add DETAIL. youll be fine. hes really down to earth such a great class!
I really liked this professor. There was 4 things due each week. They were not bad at all! He is very funny and kind. This whole course was about stress management and I gotta say, it did definitely help me. I recommend you take this class!
Attendance was mandatpory only because it was a health and pe class and there were in-class activities, though they could me made up easily online. He was very kind and understanding influenced me to have a better mindset, and has a very good vibe. 10000000% reccommend his mind/body class, the yoga and meditations are wonderful and enjoyable.
I feel this should be a required course for all students at Clark. Garrett is kind, professional, and deeply concerned about his students' well being. You will learn lots about yourself and how to deal with being human, as well as how to communicate with others most efficiently. If you want to make a good grade, show up to class and be yourself.
I really liked this professor. I genuinely got frustrated once my term ended in this class. He is funny and super caring. Most of this class is stress management so he understands his student's mental health. I would 100% recommend taking this class. The assignments are not bad either.
Absolutely yes. Garrett is great. His assignments may get you out of your comfort zone, however he's very considerate and makes it enjoyable to participate, which I reccommend doing because you will reap personal benefits putting in the work due to the topics covered. Every week is structured similar and he accepts assignments up to 2 weeks late!
Garrett is one of the best PE teachers I have ever had. Instead of making exercise feel like a chore it was fun. He graded everything fairly, allows you to turn in 2 weeks late, and you can redo things as much as you need to get the grade you want. He want's you to succeed and you can really feel that through his teaching style and class. 10/10
If you have the chance to take his in-person class, I highly recommend. I know he teaches online HPE classes, but it isn't the same. Showing up and participating is all that matters in his in-person classes. He is very lenient with his late work policy which is two weeks! If you take his online course, just be prepared to post videos.
Garrett is a great professor, I took his in-person course; he always made the class very enjoyable and created a safe and caring environment. This was by far the most fun I've had in a course since I started Clark. As long as you came to class you would get all your points, and we had one outside assignment a week. Great class, you'll learn a lot!
I found this professor to be very understanding and helpful throughout the course. He provided interesting and playful content that made the class enjoyable. Overall, I would definitely take his class again. However, I would want to take it in person because I imagine he gives some pretty good lectures.
I really enjoyed this class. The material was helpful for mental health and good habits. The assignments were very manageable, a check in, reading/response, discussions, and exercise labs. Garrett was amazing. He gave great feedback and accepts late work for full points. He grades super fast and is really accessible if you need to contact him.
All the assingments and layouts are the same every week so it gets a little repitive. But other than that the class is fine. He's ok if you don't turn in assignments in on time so you do get leeway
This was by far one of my favorite classes that I have taken at Clark. Professor Hoyt did an awesome job of making his students feel more connected by having us upload a video or meet via Zoom with our groups each week. With 4 assignments, it's about 4-5 hours of work per week which I thought was great. I would highly recommend this class!
Extremely caring and funny guy. Easy to get a good grade if you put the slightest amount of effort in and he accepts assignments up to 2 weeks late.
Very passive agressive, Does not accept any work unless it exactly how he wants it even though he tells you to be creative and do work yourself. One of the meanest worst professors I have taken. Garrett Is not reasonable and his class is beyond pointless, he does toe exercises for god sake Lol this class is a joke dont take it
I recently rated garrett at the beginning of the term, I was frustrated he gave me a poor grade for low effort, I then understood I was the problem. The guy is really cool and the work only takes about 2 hours for the whole week. I would defintely recommend, easy 3 credit class, nearly impossible not to get an A if you try.
He takes work up to 2 weeks late BUT DO NOT let it happen, just turn things in on time. It can be so easy to start falling behind if you keep putting off work. His class is not that hard, you just need to participate. This was one of my easier classes so if I could do something over again, I would have done the class assignments before others.
Professor was passive aggressive, isolate students out of group discussions, would throw temper tantrums if not done his way. Personality feels fake
Garrett was amazing. Literally the easiest class of the term. The assignments were clear and a lot of the grading relied on in-class work from story telling in small groups and the labs. I took a lot of valuable information away from his lectures. Probably one of the only classes I made genuine friend in my first term at Clark, due to his lectures.
I would 100% take him again, great guy who likes to yap (I'm also a yapper lol). Hoyt has good insightful lectures. Very manageable workload. Participate in reflections. You'll have more fun if you decide to branch out to your classmates. The class is designed to be social, for you to grow as a person, and get out of your comfort zone.
This is my favorite college professor. He provides great feedback. If I didn't get 100% on something, you have a couple days to resubmit an assignment to get a better grade on it. Take his class!
He's such a sweetie and yapper. He REALLY cares about you and will get into discussions with you about life via canvas comments. He literally invited anyone in my class over to his house for thanksgiving. It's basically impossible to fail the class, super manageable workload, and really informative and helpful for dealing with stress!
