Thanks for giving us a review before each test and letting us use the handout.
I took his online class for art appreciation and I loved it. I learned somuch in this intense and short clasI highly recommend him.
Professor was very helpful, and proactive with class and had a lot of knowledge on all types of art.
mr. garrett was very helpful and not strict at all. I like the interest and love he has for art. It makes you interested when you see your teacher interested..thank you mr. garrett
I took the online summer class. Communicates by email and ecampus. Daily participation on the class discussion board is really fun. The final exam was a short essay about a museum or gallery visit. The textbook in syllabus says 9th edition, the bookstore forces you to buy the expensive 10th ed. I got the 8th ed for 10 bucks and I passed with an A
The blogs he uses are really great and useful. I enjoyed the videos and having assignments that needed personal analysis and creativity. Highly recommended for online class
I took this class over the summer, and it was great. I learned so much about art. Mr. Garrett is extremely helpful, and his curriculum is well-planned and easy to keep up with. There are assignments due everyday, which helped me keep up with the class. Highly recommended.
Mr. Garrett is an extremely knowledgable, fun professor with a real passion for the arts! I can't recommend him highly enough!
I enjoyed this instructor very much and he made my learning experience a great one. I really liked the lectures and smaill field trips. I will definitley recommend other students to take this course along with this professor.
Very helpfull instructor. If you keep up with your notes, you will great on the tests.
Great class!!!
I really appreciated Mr. Garrett'seasy approach to presenting the materia. The use of digital media helped to peak my interrest in the arts. Iplan to continue to participate in the study and enjoyment of the many different types of art available.
I totally enjoyed Mr. Garrett's teaching style and passion for all the different genres of art. I now have an appreciation and new outlook that I did not have before taking this class. I definitely would recommend Mr. Garrett to those interested in expanding their knowledge and passion for art.
This was a great class. Very well taught, fun and I learned much more than I would have thought I would have from such a class. This intructor is strongly recommended.
Wonderful instructor whose passion for the ARTS quickly moved to the students.
His class is really easy. I really didn't use the book since he has an online blog. I suggested you take his class!!
The class is as easy as you make it. Just listen and do the work and you should make an A in the class.
great professor!
great teacher
Great professor!!!
Mr. Garrett is a fantastic instructor. His passion for visual art is very contagious. Expectations and outcomes were stated very clearly. For an online course, it was very structured. Highly recommend for 1st time online students. Will build confidence.
Very easy class and I learned a lot! Very nice professor! Highly recommend!
Great teacher. Helpful Nd easy
Great class, great instructor. Very structured and clear expectations.
Easy online class. Make sure you do the discussion boards which are easy. I took this class during the summer. We took two test and had to visit the museum. I would highly recommend him.
Excellent teacher. He made the cass so easy and not boring,he gives you a study guide for the tests that you can use.
Great teacher! I took this class online and I still learned a lot from it. Mr. Garrett is very helpful and always keeps the class interesting.
I loved this class, I was a bit nervous taking an online class because it can be tricky. But i ended up passing with an A. He is an excellent teacher and i recommend him to anyone and everyone! i actually learned a lot too ;)
Great teacher, took him for arts appreciation. He's lessons might be a little boring but very helpful. don't need to buy the book!!
I liked the class- great teacher- very concise and helpful!!
Weekly discussion board question after reading one or two chapters (which are short ch.!) A few tests that were 15 questions, piece of cake! One museum visit with a two page, double spaced paper about it. The final was a short PowerPoint on a particular subject of your choice that we went over in the book. Great easy class! Garrett is great!
Professor Randall is an amazing professor! He cares for you. A time i couldnt take my test because of work he opened it up for me. He is an understanding teacher i wish every teacher were like him!!! 4 exams. Weekly discussion board. 1 essay paper about your visit to a museum, and extra credit! This teacher is an incredible human being take him
Prof. Garrett was very good and extremely helpful when needed. He responded to your questions when needed prompt and efficiently. Would recommend him to anyone.
Randall Garret is a phenomenal professor. He has a great compassion for art and he shows this in his instruction. took him online and it was a breeze: 4 test (not difficult at all), 1 essay, weekly discussion boards he responds to all if done timely enough(graded on effort) plus extra credit. Great Prof all around. TAKE HIM, no seriously take him
He is an outstanding professor. He is excellent in his knowledge of humanities. He is extremely helpful and answers his emails promptly, effective, efficient, and compassionate. He is one of the BEST professors here at El Centro. I highly recommend his class. Awesome professor, you'll love the experience!
Professor Garrett is very helpful. Especially in your art work, he gives you feedback to do improve on your next assignments.
Super friendly and kind. Such an easy course. Made me love art even more. He's very open minded as well
Mr. Garrett is a great professor and artist.
Humanities was a great course. Assignments are clear and he is very helpful. He also has a great sense of humor.
Professor Garrett is awesome! He is one of the best professors at El Centro. The papers are fun to write. The final is a power point, and that is also fun to do. The tests aren't hard if you study the review. He gives plenty of time on assignments. Do the weekly discussion board.
LOVED Professor Garrett! He's a professor that teaches his online course, rather than merely giving you assignments and grades. Very engaging and he interacts very well with the class. One of my favorite professors at El Centro!
Randall Garrett clearly explains the material while giving positive feedback and clarification. He encourages students to ask questions and express themselves. If you don't understand something, ask, he's there to help. Go in with an open mind that you know nothing about art apreciation and you will learn more than you expected.
Great teacher. Really enjoyed his class, the interaction between students, the visit to the DMA, feedback from Mr. Garrett and students. It was all conducive to a successful course, especially since it was mostly online.
The text book we used was Gateways to Art, by D. DeWitte, I rented it on amazon for $18, and this along with the art blog links is what you need to do well on the tests. The grade was based on DBs one per day, 3 tests, and 1 essay. Overall, I would highly recommend taking this class with Mr. Garrett, follow the syllabus. and you can earn an A.
Very good teacher! Took this class online, there were daily discussion boards. Follow the syllabus and do the work and you are sure to get an A.
This class was very easy!!!!The teacher was nice and the class was easy to follow. Took it online. He posted blogs online that assist with the information. Test were easy as long as you knew what the pictures represent. Take this class with him!
This an awesome class! Took it once before but it was horrible. This professor was ALWAYS willing to help and responded very quickly to questions via email. He posted daily discussion board questions and the directions could not be any clearer. If u do the work you will definitely get an A!
Awesome professor. He was so helpful.
Excellent professor! Take him!
Take this class, especially if this is not your favorite subject. He is friendly and very helpful if you ask for help.
Please sign up for this class! You have two essays, one a museum and the other is a live performance revue. Its an easy A.
One of the most interesting and enjoyable classes I've had these past two years. He definitely makes the learning more meaningful, more of a passionate interest in the subject, and enjoys what he does. Definitely a classinstructor I would recommend regardless as to whether it is needed for creditdegree or not.
Overall good online experience. There is an "assignment" due every week, but it's not time consuming. That being said, you got to stay on top of things for this class otherwise you'll get left behind.
This was a required class. Mr. Garrett made the visit to the museum interesting. You need to read the book to do the discussion boards but it's easy reading. I had to attend a play and it was great. I would take his class again.
I took him for a mayflex term class (3 week course) this class was honestly one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. Another perk was he gets the whole class into the Dallas museum of art for free. You don't have to pay! Oh and he's kind of like the hippie type. Just an fyi
Nice experience.
Required participation
Class is fun and enlightening. Professor answers emails quickly and is very helpful. Class consists of daily discussion boards, three tests, a museum visit essay and a power point. Follow the text book and you'll get a good grade.
I am so glad I took Professor's Garret class. It consists of daily discussion boards and quizzes. Make sure not to fall behind and you should get a good grade. I would definitely recommend him. I learned so much from his class.
Consisted of discussion board posts M-F. 4 timed test over specific material. During the test, he asks you to not use your textbook instead he will post a handout with definitions you can use. The material is easy you just need to know the difference and meanings. Same material used in discussions. Overall easy class but requires understanding.
Somewhat professor not creepy, not hotty, even if you are not satisfied, he gives you chance to make-up your grades, and he expects to do all his homework and test is for the grades. Essay and Power Points are pretty easy but must type in your owns words. He grades is OK but the tests scores were higher than the essays and powerpoints.
He is an amazing professor. Gives extra credit and If need be allows you to make up missed assignments. Answers emails in a timely fashion and is very understaning /aware that life does happen. Just do the work and keep him informed of any problems they may keep you from turning a assignment in on time and he is more than willing to work with you
There are weekly discussion boards and there were 4 tests. The tests are not bad, however they are timed. He's a great teacher and he's really into art. Try to make the museum visit. You'll walk away understanding and appreciating art!
Have discussions each week, four test, two papers, and a PowerPoint. If you do the work, you can pass the class with an A.
Professor was always available and ready to help whenever needed!
Professor Garrett's class is very informative. I learned a lot about Art. I would take this class with him again.
Professor Garrett's class is the class to take! You will learn quite a bit! It is an easy "A" as long as you keep up! The work is not difficult at all, you just have to put in effort! He will also work with you as much as he can!
He is a great teacher, with the online discussion boards specifically. he gives great feedback to the students and is very clear when giving out assignments. He also respojds fairly fast with emails and helos students with their problems, especially if a student needs to attend a museum for a essay, he would help them work around it to complete it
Professor Garrett is extremely educated on the topics at hand. He also provides detailed feedback on discussion board posts, and is willing to help as much as possible. Very laid-back and easy going; great teacher overall.
An easy online class. You post on the discussion board once a week and discuss the image you have chosen, he gives great feedback. His instructions were easy to follow. There were 4 tests that were timed but they were not difficult. There was 1 essay due but it was simple& a powerpoint which was fun to do. He really taught me how to appreciate art.
This is a great class. I love art but now I have a better understanding of multiple forms and how they are created. You can tell Professor Garrett likes to reach on the subject and gives great feedback- especially when something is difficult to grasp.
Professor Garrett manages to teach a course that's somehow both incredibly easy and genuinely fulfilling. Every assignment is based around finding examples of artistic principles in your own life, oftentimes just taking random photos of stuff and analyzing them. As long as you can show you understand the terminology, you will get a good grade.
Be prepared to participate in a lot of discussion boards with expectations of using details. Two essays minimum. Large percentage of grade. He gets back to you in a timely manner, and also encourages you to pick your brain and think on a deeper level. Best professor I have honestly ever had. Complete all assignments and you will definitely pass.
I participated in pretty much all my assignments and could've had an A but I wasn't able to go to a play for my final assignment which really impacted my grade. Discussion boards were easy, interesting, and fun. I really enjoyed this class!
Loved this class! TAKE IT! I took it online and really enjoyed the links that summarize the chapters (it's a must to review those links before a test).Discussion board due every Friday, which are not difficult at all, and there's really no right or wrong answer for the discussion boards, just participate! 4 test, 1 essay and 1 powerpoint.
Online class. Super easy. I loved it. Answers emails fast and would take again. One essay. One ppt. One museum visit. And many weekly discussion boards.
I took his online art class and I thought it was very well planned and clear grading. It is a lot of reading and discussion boards; however, they are helpful and he provides good feedback. There are 4 tests and one essay over a Museum visit. As long as you read and pay attention and participate, this class is an easy A.
Overall this class online was a breeze ! First time taking online classes but this was a very good experience. The only outside of class thing was the visit to the museum but he is straight to the point and as long as u do the work your good and ALWAYS do discussion boards !
I took this class over may term. If you don't have the time for daily commitment to the course work and blog don't take this class. I loved the class overall. You are motivated to explore your environment and seek out art in everyday life. Prof. Garrett is passionate about art and is fair with grading and will work with due dates if needed.
As a student in El Centro for nearly a year, I would have to say that Professor Randall Garrett is by far the most motivated Professor that i have encountered. Mr. Garrett was more than helpful with any issues or concerns I had in his class. This teacher understands and is a subject matter expert in what he teaches. Students are his #1 priority.
Professor Garrett is a great teacher, my coworker told me about how he is always willing to help students an it's so true. I'm glad I took this class. You will need the text book and know how to do discussion boards, but overall very fun class. He tells you exactly what he wants, an is very understanding. Don't miss a great opportunity.
Professor Garrett gives great feedback and always available. Even though it was an online class I enjoyed reading the discussion boards and the weekly blogs.
If he has another class that's required for me to take, I'm there!
Took this online loved it, it was easy as long as you do your work . If you don't do your work don't expect to succeed. You have a discussion board topic each week, 4 tests, one power point, and two essays Easy! If I did it you can do it I would take him again. He responds to emails fast, easy to work with. Choose him you wont regret..
Mr. Randall Class was GREAT!! Class is very easy just do your discussion boards and read the blogs and everything will be a breeze. His instructions are very clear, but if you have any questions he answers them right away.
Prof. Garrett is amazing, he gives great feedback and makes you think outside the box. Make sure to participate in discussions.
GREAT
I took this as an online class while traveling. There's an assignment every week, each of which tends to make you think outside of the box. A lot is based on personal experience and opinion making it hard to not do well. There's a few timed exams, none of which were difficult if you knew the material.
What liked about Professor Garrett. Too many to but, i love how he got in and interacted with us in our discussion boards. There was thoughts on "how do i do this", he lead example. All you have to do is do work and you, and be willing to learn new things (think outside the box) and you will pass.
I greatly appreciated, the time and effort the instructor used in order to respond to each discussion board promptly.
Great Lecture and superb presentations
This professor really takes the time to sincerely respond to your emails on time which is absolutely important in an online class. The course is pretty breezy, just submit your completed work on time. For the discussions, the professor replies to your posts giving feedback on what you submitted for the unit to ensure your understanding.
This professor was great! I took this class online for Maymester. There are daily discussion boards, a PowerPoint, one essay and 4 tests. The tests are straight off the daily blogs he would post. Read the blogs and I guarantee an A on every test. It is necessary to participate in the daily discussion boards to get a good grade.
I took his online Mayterm course, and it was amazing. It consisted of discussions everyday, a total of 4 quizzes and an essay. Aslong as you know how to manage your time and keep up, this class will be easy. Would definetly recommend.
I took Professor Garrett's course as a Maymester class. This has seriously been the best class that I have taken in college thus far. He is such a great professor and I really admire that he makes his own blog and you just read that and pass the class. No need for a book in this class, just reading blogs. I would recommend taking any class with him
This professor was great! I took this class online for the Summer Semester, and it was a breeze. The class consist of daily discussion boards, one essay assignment, 4 tests, and a power point project. The tests are straight forward and the information is directly from the daily blogs. If you do the work, you will be rewarded.
Randall Garrett is an excellent teacher. The assignments are fun and easy to understand, due dates for assignments are given in plenty of time, and he responds quickly to questions. He also gets assignments graded quickly with positive feedback. I would suggest this class and this professor to anyone. Thank you Mr. Garrett for a great semester.
Great professor! I missed a test and a couple assignments and he let me retake them for full credit. He's very understanding and passionate about what he teaches. Easy assignments and tests. Test questions are straight out of his blogs. Two short papers that are very easy to do . I would definitely recommend! Easy A if you do all the work.
He was such a good instructor, clearly let's you know what to expect. Did not have to buy a book - he provides all the material needed. Tests are multiple choice and come from his material- and just 1-2 questions that require a few sentences. Just a great person - with lots of information - and from lectures lots of experience. Loved this class !
Me. Garrett is a great profesor and would definitely take him again he has been really helpful throughout the semester.
Great teacher!
He is a very good instructor who encourages participation. Gives feedback promptly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Professor Garrett was a great teacher. He opened my eyes to a lot of things that I would have never observed in art. The different interpretations of not only artwork but also the in-depth look at the artist. Enjoyed this class even though it was online. Also, the discussion board was quite unique because we had to use our own creativity to express
Amazing Professor! He is by far one of the best ones I have had. I got behind on two assignments and he was easy to reach and responded quickly. Needless to say, my grade was not damaged by two delayed assignments. He is understanding that things come up and we are not always the best students turning in our work ok time.
I absolutely loved Professor Garrett! The class was fun and engaging and had plenty of time to get my work done white having a winter break. Assignments/discussion boards were fun and interesting, I learned something new every time! I learned a lot from him and was able to take that knowledge into the future with me as a future teacher.
One of the best peofessors I have ever known. His teaching technique is very well implied . You will definitely get to learn a lot about aspects culture and humanities. There are 15 discussion blogs that are the standard of participation. 4 online tests with 15 mcq. And 2 short essays. He is a very creative individual. He has been an inspiration.
I enjoyed the class and learned about things that I had taken for granted or just never really thought about. Overall, I learned, had fun and got to interact with the professor and my coursemates online. will definitely recommend this professor.
He's a great teacher, makes assignment fun. I took his online class and passed with a B+, He let me turned in late assignments without getting points reduced. He truly cares about his classmates passing. Would recommend him, and he doesn't require a text book which is a plus ! Test are based on notes he hands out.
This class was great! I loved the ways that Randall made the participation count with short videos, poems, and being able to learn so much from his writings. If you participate and read then it's a very easy A. You will learn some new stuff that you may not have been exposed to before.
I love this class your are not judged and he gives great feedback!!
One of my favorite professors to date!!
Great teacher, wonderful experience!
HUMA 1302 ONLINE Great class but participation is definitely big! You will need to engage in weekly discussion boards that require work but it is completely fun! There is no judgment at all in his class and even if it is online, you get to meet your classmates a little. SUPER FUN, got me out of my comfort zone. Recommend it!
Look no further in your search for a Humanities 1302 professor. Took him as a required elective and don't regret it. He responds to emails pretty quickly and gives good feedback on discussion boards. No textbook. Just read all his blogs, do 2 essays, do the tests and discussion boards and boom! A+.
Take this class! Professor Garrett provides everything that you need in order to pass. I took him during Maymester and even though it was fast paced, it was still manageable. It's impossible to fail this class unless you don't do your work. He's definitely the best Humanities teacher DCCCD has to offer. Recommend him 100!
Great professor, If you need an A join this class.
He's an amazing teacher.
He is an amazing professor, he makes humanities fun and interesting.
Lots of fun while learning too! Professor Garrett knows his stuff. Do your part you'll make an A.
Were do i begin, he is by far the best professor i have ever had in college. He is fun , light hearted , open minded , inspiring, and intelligent. He is also an actual artist. He has a beautiful untainted view of the world that is very refreshing. He does not over load you with work and the work is simple yet educational , TAKE HIM !!1
Took this class online in the summer (4 weeks), easy daily blogs, 4 tests , 2 400-wrd essays, 1 8-slide power point. Class was very simple, read the blogs and you'll pass.
Just do your work participate, he's not a heavy grader and work isn't hard. Such a easy class! he's very laid back and one of the coolest professors take him!
Prof. Randall Garrett his a great and understanding Prof. and his always ready to help students.
If you do your work he will pass you. Also if you can't turn in assignments in on time he will let you turn it in late just be sure to communicate with him.
Participation in daily discussion boards is required
Daily discussion boards count as attendance but super easy and great. Had 2 essays (400 words) and one final PowerPoint based on discussion boards. Great professor!
Professor Garrett is hands down the best. I took him 2019 summer 1 and passed with an A, he is different but not hard
Took this course for Summer 1 and passed with an A.
Professor Garrett was an amazing professor, I took his online course for HUMA 1302 during the Winter term. You have to do daily discussion boards M-F for attendance. You have to attend at least 2 events of your choice and write 2 short essays about them. There is also 4 test (15 questions) , and a PPT final project which is easy. Would take again
