He is such a nice guy! His lectures can at times get a bit boring but if you talk to him during lectures and try debating ideas with him it becames much more fun. His test are kind of difficult but if you study and read parts of the book you should be fine. Very cool guy and I recommend his class!
Very clear teacher-uses power point for notes (everyday). Really nice guy, if you study your notes and read a little bit, you'll be fine
New teacher to the campus...powerpoint notes can't steer you wrong. As long as you study the vocabulary terms, notes, and go over the charts in the book, you'll do fine. Willing to help, but he is a bit biased about his opinions of the material. Cuts out a lot of sections from the book.
sort of boring lectures, but if you get him into discussion mode, it's not too bad
Like everyone's been saying you must go to class most of the time (althand read although not required) and read the book- if you do that you're almost guaranteed an A. Very nice (tries to relate to students a lot)and couldn't be more helpful if you have a problem. Def. recommend
Great teacher. He's so easy and fun. His powerpoint sounds keep you awake, even at a 8am class. He knows his stuff and the tests are a reflection of the material. An easy A as long as you read. In Class participation points help alot so attend class. Awesome Guy.
Wonderful man. Addicted to Powerpoint which makes the class very easy to follow. No attendance policy; however, you get points for in-class assignments so be there to get easy points! Tests can be tricky but all you have to do is read the chapters. Highly recommended!!
I never went to class and just read the text and passed with a B.
He's an ok professor. However I would not recommend taking his class if you have a learning disability because his tests are very wordy. Half of the class dropped his class because of the tests. Make use of flash cards- they are your friends.
Class was interesting and informative. He is very long winded and encourages class discussion but doesn't give you a chance to speak in open discussion. He monopolizes class discussions with his opinions. He is more opinionated with class information then factual. Test are easy if you read the text before each class. No attendence policy.
He is a very energetic professor that never stop talking. He uses crazy sound bytes from different law movies or shows namely Law and Order.
Really awesome professor. He adopts a simple lecture note test format but he often goes off on rants in class so you need to read on your own if you want to do well. As long as you read the tests are really easy. 4 tests he drops the lowest test grade and one non cumulative final. A very nice person willing to help highly recomended.
Dr. Garmon made it easy to succeed in his class. He clearly outlined what was to be on the tests and was entertaining with funny sound effects. He used countless examples to illustrate topics. Use notecards for the definitions and you can't go wrong. Great discussions too! Highly reccommended!
such a wonderful teacher! soo funny n made the classroom interesting! study notes n read n u definietly will get an A!! only 3 test! n 2 thought papers which were so easy! definitely take him!
he is one of the most helpful teachers at SU and really cares about his students. take his online developmental class-you learn a lot and he gives 15 extra credit points. you can get an A or B for sure
i dont agree with anyone i think his classes are terrible. tests wow thats a different story
A really great teacher. He is really knowledged in psycology and understands how to relate it to the real world. He has a passion for teaching and is really helpful. He uses his powerpoint effectively. The tests were actually pretty hard if you dont read the text book, but there is plenty of other stuff to bring your grade up. Online quizes too.
Mr. Garmon was overall a good professor.
HORRIBLE. notes are useless. and even if you study them, you would have had to read the chapters about a thousand times to manage just a B on the exams. not recommended at all
This teacher is awesome! He makes class interesting and really knows his stuff. No classwork. Gives good notes. You take an online quiz after every chapter, but they're easy, 12 questions long and you can take each one twice.There are only a few test that are not that hard if you study the quizzes and notes! Overall easy class and I loved it!
Great teacher. Fun class and it's easy to take notes because he uses powerpoints. Attendence is not required, however, and most of the exams are based right out of the txtbook. He uses a lot of humor like Family Guy sound clips throughout his powerpoints.
He was a pretty cool teacher. Not hard either.
Dr. Garmon is very nice and very willing to help students. He goes a little slow sometimes b/c he wants to make sure everyone gets it. Very fair, very animated in lecture. Great teacher, although the power point sound bytes are annoying.
I liked Dr. Garmon. Cool guy, kept my attention. It's not an easy class though, he makes you aware of that in the begining. You REALLY have to work for a good grade...but his clicker points and online discussions are helpful in improving your grade. Exams are mostly from the textbooks, which i didnt have. got out with a C
Great teacher! Attendance not mandatory and most of his quizzes/exams were from the textbook, so as long as you read them you'll be fine. Lots of work though. You have to do a quiz after every chapter and a discussion and a quiz every week on top of the chapter quizzes but they're EASY. Tests are kinda hard, but he teaches really well. Recommended!
Everything that needs to be said about the class (quizzes, discussions, exams, etc.) has already been discussed. Best way to ace the class is to show up or at least get the notes from someone. Fun and interesting class
Dr. Garmon is one of the best professors I've had at Salisbury! He is so knowledgeable about his subject, and genuinely enjoys teaching it. He makes class interesting, even during lecture. I learned so much from Dr. Garmon in the two classes I took with him. If you get the chance, do take one of his classes, you won't be disappointed!
Legt best professor I've ever had. I had the worst luck with loosing all of my work off of my hard drive and several other random bad things happening. Dr.Garmon was the most understanding and helpful, he respects and trusts his students. Best psych prof Ive had yet!
A+!!! amazing professor! I highly recommend him to all students. Coming to class is important though because he asks questions on the tests which you would only know the answer to if you heard it in class.
Best teacher I've had yet. Take Psych of Adolescence if you get a chance. It is his favorite subject and he is so knowledgeable about it, you will honestly have fun. Shows videos all class. Study for tests and you'll do fine.
Such a great teacher!!! I would totally recommend him for any psych class he teaches. Very helpful and considerate of everyone. Always responds to emails. His tests are a little tricky but psychology is like that. Besides that, I would totally take another class with him!
BEST TEACHER AT SALISBURY BY FAR! I love going to his class. He is extremely helpful and his class is always entertaining. I intend to take another of his classes just because he is such a great teacher.
He is by far my favorite professor! I enjoy going to his lectures, because he makes them interesting and interactive.He is also extremely helpful and understanding! His tests are easy if you study,and make sure you get the notes because that is what is mainly on the exam. I would highly reccomend him!
Garmon is amazing! Great professor, tells you everything you need to know in class (but you do have to come to class or you'll miss it.) Lectures are fun and interactive, he has a sense of humor that he portrays into the power points. :) I recommend him for PSYC 101!
Great Professoer. Tests arent a suprise and he's very straight forward attend class, read the book, do online assignments and you will be fine.
Best teacher I had this semester! One of the few classes I enjoyed going to. Take him! He is a caring, funny, and enjoyable teacher. Easy to understand and has great powerpoinst. I never even used the textbook, just take good notes. So glad I had the opportunity to take him!
This class was great, I recommend Dr. Garmon. Class isn't mandatory but he may ask questions he said in class. Showed alot of interesting videos. Overall just review the notes and read the chapter and an A or B is attainable.
Good guy, attendance is up to you (get points if you do show). 4 tests and online work for every test (which is a grade booster). The tests go off of lecture notes, book, and online work, study all of them you'll do fine. Multiple (easy) chances for extra credit. Overall should be an easy A
Dr. Garmon is cool. He always makes sure you know what is going on, and what your grade is. He understands most people who take 101 are taking it as a gen ed, and he teaches it knowing that. There are lots of opportunities to get points, but make sure you don't slack off on the tests like i did, an A is very doable.
I took this class this summer online which means it was an accelerated class and it was still super easy. The best part about it was that it was easy but I also learned a ton!! His quizzes were after each chapter and you have 3 tests. They are straight from the power points that he provides and the book. plus, you get to move at your own pace!!
Lectures aren't boring, gives points for being in class so its probably best to go to class, pretty funny and keeps the lectures interesting
I've taken Garmon for psych 101, 321 and 320. He is very big on giving out random participation points and uses clicker questions to get the class involved almost every day. Very straight forward about what is on his tests. He makes chp quizzes so you know what to focus on when studying. Other assignments also serve as easy grade buffers. Def Take!
I was lucky when I got into Dr. Garmon's psychology and law class; he is only allowed to offer it every other semester and have one section of it, unfortunately, which is an outrage. It was such a fun and interesting class! Dr. Garmon is big into clicker questions; they are included as extra credit points toward your final grade. He's awesome!
Awesome professor. Really knows what he is doing. The course has a lot of options for extra credit and he made sure to remind us everyday which was really helpful. He made clicker questions fun by making fun of famous people. Only thing i'd advise is to study for his tests because they are very tough but he prepares you for them. He's the best!
I really like how he knows that most of the students in the class are just taking psychology as a gen ed so he really tries to make class fun and interesting. Tests are not too bad if you study, and their are many available ways to boost your grade
Dr. Garmon is a great teacher and makes his lectures very entertaining/interesting. His powerpoints are very organized and gives you plenty of time to take notes on the material he provides. Questions are extremely encouraged with him! Do the Launchpad assignments given for homework, he counts it as an exam grade and it covers the information well.
The class is very interesting. The lectures hit the main point, but you will have to do a lot of reading outside of the class. He looks for very specific details in your work, so follow the directions carefully. The tests can be very difficult if you do not read the book. Do all of the work assigned, it will hurt you if you don't.
Garmon's a pretty cool guy. If you take notes and show up to class it's pretty easy to get an A. The textbook isn't really needed but the online code is for homework. He gives a ton of bonus points to help your grade just by doing participation/preparation clicker questions. Make sure you try on the homework because it helps your grade. Fun class!
psyc 101 with garmon is so easy. the clicker questions are really helpful for the test and the tests aren't hard either if you study. definitely go to class and get the clicker points. there's a lot of note taking but also a lot of extra credit points which are easy to get
I took Psych 101 with Garmon and the class itself was easy and interesting but the tests were hard. He didn't tell the students that it was necessary to read outside of class but it definitely is for the exams. Clicker points are really important so you must attend class. Great guy and super helpful if you go to his office hours
Dr. Garmon is great! I enjoyed his class and his lectures were easy to follow.
I took his class my first semester of my freshman year for Psych 101 and i absolutely loved it. i found out I had to take Psych 300 and was so excited to see that he taught that class too. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Garmon. He is amazing!
Amazing professor. Lectures are interesting and everything in the tests is what is on his ppt slides. Gives many extra credit chances.
As long as your in class for lectures, and complete the online assignments, you can expect a good grade! The pacing of the class is very good, and the assignments are mostly easy to complete. The tests are mildly difficult, but as long as you are present for lectures and study the online quizzes, you should do fine!
I started to really love Psychology because of Dr. Garmon. He knows his stuff and very good at teaching it. Must show up to lectures and stay on top of online assignments for a good grade.
Attendance not mandatory, easy online work and pretty easy exams. Got a B with minimal effort, Easy B. Very welcoming of questions and comments. Very approachable and is a great professor for 101 and psych in general. Take this man.
I took him over the summer for his adolescence class. It was very easy. I even sent him an email at one point because one of my answers I thought was right and the question was worded weirdly. He THANKED me for emailing him and told me he wish more students would do this. Great teacher. Online class is awesome and easy as long as you do the work.
Professor Garmen actually cares about what he teaches. If you put in the effort to study you'll do just fine but you do have to study. He is very understanding and wants you to succeed. Highly recommend this teacher.
great teacher. he is funny and really relates to you and real world. he is extremely knowledgable with what he teaches. the exams are a bit difficult (I always failed them) but was able to get a B only because his assignments help boost your grade up. doesn't give study guides which sucks. everyone does bad on his exams so I think this is why.
Dr. Garmon makes Developmental Psych such a fun class! I looked forward to his lectures and I learned a lot. Attendance is not mandatory, but he does give participation points so if you skip a lot of classes it will affect your grade somewhat. They're easy points so if you go to class and take good notes there is no reason to not get an A or a B
Truly the greatest college professor I've come across. He gives you EVERY opportunity to pass his class. He's an interesting lecturer, in an hour and 15 minute class thats all you can ask for! I would def not skip class though, he's big on clicker questions so if you miss the day you miss those clicker points. Very simple but adds up in the end.
Really great professor! Gives you a lot of opportunities to make a good grade in his class as long as you show up, he does a lot of clicker questions which you could lose a lot of points off of if you don't show up. He also does online homework which is easy. Overall funny and great guy!
Dr. Garmon was a great teacher. He always made class interesting; relating what we were going over in class to pop culture. Always had short clips to relate to. Lot of opportunity for extra credit. Do them all-they are easy points!
Solid and average. Go to class until you get the max 30participation points. Try to take it with a friend or two so you can work on the online quizzes.
Dr. Garmon is a great professor! Attendance is mandatory because he doesn't post his PowerPoints online and you get points for showing up. Only a few assignments/discussions and they're really easy if you follow directions. Only three exams including the final. If you study your notes, chapter quizzes, and read the textbook you'll do fine.
Not a bad professor. But I got an 89.6 in his class and he DIDN'T round me up. Jerk move.
I loved Dr. Garmon! He's super knowledgeable and loves what he teaches. He also provides a lot of participation points and extra credit so those are great grade boosters. You do need to read the book for his exams, and his exams are kind of difficult. He always relates class topics to movies and tv shows and it helps a lot.
Great professor I highly recommend you take him. Very knowledgeable. Overall great guy. He gives extra credit so do it.
One of the best psychology teachers at Salisbury. Hgihly recommend him in any course you can get him. He's very lecture heavy but makes the lecture fun and interesting. Yes you need the book!
Dr. Garmon is one of those special professors. He truly cares about his students and is willing to help however he can. His use of MyClasses is A+ and he gives great feedback. The class I took with him was super interesting, but challenging. Dr. Garmon knows how to encourage his students to work hard for their grades, while still making class fun.
Dr. Garmon uses many different forms of media during his lectures to make it as interesting as possible. You will do your homework online and if you use the optional quizzes in the online section at the end of each chapter to study you will ace your exams. I studied this way for every single exam and I ended up with a 99% in his class.
Dr. Garmon is a great professor! He's very attentive and always fast to answer emails/questions. He has a lot of experience in his field. I would recommend him to anybody.
This class was super interesting, and also pretty easy since tests are online and open book. Prof. Garmon answers emails quickly and offers extra credit for participating in surveys or studies the psych department is doing.
Dr. Garmon was a great professor! He always made class interesting and interactive. I loved that the exams were online and open note, it allowed me to do them at my own time and work around my busy schedule. He offers extra credit which helps a lot! He also is great at responding fast and answering questions. He's the best professor to take!
He knows what he's talking about in psychology! His lectures are long but very interesting. After class you can ask any question you have about the lesson. There is extra credit for sure! Make sure you go to class because he has clicker questions in class! There is literally no reason for you not to receive an "A" in the class. He is also humorous.
Dr. Garmon is extremely knowledgeable in his field and is extremely respectful of everyone's opinions. He is good at facilitating the discussion between students but also allows us to get somewhat off topic to keep ourselves engaged. Grades are very self explanatory as he gives detailed rubrics.
can sign into class from your bed, easy assignments, google-able exams
Dr. Garmon is very knowledgeable and kind. Every class is just a conversation with classmates, and there is no pressure to participate if you have nothing to contribute. I loved being in his class.
Professor Garmon gave plenty of extra credit points and you would have to try hard to even get below an A. All the exams and assignments were online and rarely took more than 15-20 mins to complete. we had a question or two we had to answer every class that proved we were there, but it was worth it as he would give lots of extra points.
Dr. Garmon is a great professor, makes the class an easy A & his lectures are pretty interesting.
This class is literally the easiest class. The course work is all online and if you take notes during the lecture and do all the achieve assignments, you will do fine on the exams.
Dr.Garmon is awesome and I would 100% recoomend his class. He is extremely passionate and wants to connect with students. He always brought interesting topics to seminar and is great at connecting obscure topics to the class. There are 4 tests which can be hard to study for due to their vague study guide and formatting. Overall awesome class!
Professor Garmon was okay, he's a fairly nice guy but his class was frustrating because he wasn't consistent with his APA citations despite telling the entire class that he "was the expert at this university". I also ran into difficulty when I asked him to be excused/make up work for a religious holiday.
Great teacher the best one you can take for general psychology
Definitely recommend taking Dr. Garmon for this course if you have the option! Lots of extra credit opportunities, as long as you do the assignments you can get a good grade. With extra credit I ended with a little over a 102% in the class. Take the lecture notes, do the clicker questions, exams and extra credit, and you'll be just fine!
Very Great professor! He is such a nice person and I loved him
Literally my favorite professor at SU. I would take him again because of his clear grading and interesting lectures.
Dr. Garmon is fine and his class is fairly easy, but he is very nit picky about APA style. He claims to be a professional in APA but then takes off points when using correct APA style. He also talks very loudly. Most assignments are online and are easy A's and as long as you review the terms for the exams, you'll be fine.
Professor Garmon is someone I would recommend taking every class with. He made the content very clear and was transparent about what he expected in regard to assignments. While most of his class time is lectures, he tries to engage with the students rather than just read off the screen, which at least in my case made a world of difference.
He's a great professor, cares a lot about the subject. He helps as much as he can and he always makes class interesting! The material is hard but he makes it easier so we can understand it.
Professor Garmon is the sweetest and the most caring professor on campus. His class is super easy. There are no exams!!! There are weekly quizzes and occasionally reading quizzes (open notes). Other than that, he grades you on discussion posts and stimulators. This class is super easy!!
Best and sweetest professor at SU. I wish this man taught every one of my classes. His class is so easy there are no exams just straightforward weekly quizzes based on the textbook chapter (he provides slideshow). So much extra credit, it is impossible to get a bad grade.
So easy!! Attendance isn't mandatory but there is participation points to be earned that can definitely help cushion your grade. The lecture material is presented in a fun manor. If you study the quizzes for the exams then you will ace them, Dr. Garmon just loves to teach people that want to learn!
The class is straightforward, with an emphasis on participation and APA style. While the professor is knowledgeable, there can be inconsistencies in grading. Unstuck ai proved helpful for study prep.
quizzes were open note and online so that was nice. good lecturer, does his best to make it more fun. attendance isn't taken but lots of points are given during class using clickers
He's great! Very clear instruction, supportive, knowledgeable, dedicated.
Fully online so little to no interaction with professor. Classwork is easy. No exams. Final paper is short. Just weekly quizzes and an assignment weekly. 3 discussions total that are all easy.
Took 375 and 200 with this professor. Both classes were online. There were a decent amount of assignments due throughout the semester, but they were not difficult. He seems like a really nice guy despite it being an online course. Class is well organized. Offers numerous extra credit opportunities.
Quite genuinely was the most straightforward class I have ever been in. I never had a moment of confusion and I really liked how he went over all the upcoming assignments almost every day in class which guaranteed me to never miss an assignment.
