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.

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.

You can tell that he's very into his subjects. Now I want to be more environmentally friendly.

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!
