Tom made Econ so easy. He literally wants you to pass so badly and is so so accommodating. He teaches the bare essentials and likes to teach only the stuff the thinks is relevant to the real world. Do the practice problems on the handouts and you'll be good!
Mr. Garr is truly an angle sent from heaven. He gives you the questions that will be on the test at the end of all his handouts. His goal is for students to actually learn on not be concentrated on passing the course. He is so understanding. For the final he even gave us a little surprise. But you'll have to take the class to see for yourself!! <3
Professor Garr is amazing! Makes economics really easy to understand especially for non-business majors. His handouts are key to your success. Just do the questions at the end and you'll be more than ready for the tests. He also dropped the lowest test score.
He's going to be the best teacher you ever have
Just a cool guy and willing to help anyone at any time of the day. Really cares about what he's teaching and basically tells you exactly what will be on the test. Could most likely pass without going to class. Practice the multiple choice questions with the handouts he posts online and you'll pass.
He is an amazing professor. He cares about you and wants you to succeed and understand Econ. The class is energetic and fun and he has lots of stories to relate the subject to real world issues. Take this class and you will get an A!
Great guy, lives and breathes economics, really knows what he is talking about. Genuinely cares about everyone passing the class and is straight forward about whats going to be on the test. Highly recommend for students who struggle with economics. He really breaks it down into actual words. Highly recommend this professor.
Just between us girls, he was the best sort of teacher to have as my first semester in college. Econ was a required class so I went ahead and got it out of the way. Very lecture heavy but he's funny and genuinely wants you to do good. I went to (almost) every class and messed around on my computer or 2DS and still did super good.
Econ1000 with Prof Garr was the best econ professor I could have found. He is retired and working at ksu part time because he is passionate about economics. He wants to see all students succeed. His entire grading system was on four tests. He curved every test & dropped the lowest test grade. Helped my GPA.
Professor Garr was amazing. His lectures are very entertaining and not painful to listen to, he's very knowledgeable of the subject matter after working in the field on Wall St. for decades, and he cares a lot about his students and wants everyone to be successful.
Tom was the best professor I ever had. Understands that Econ isnt everyones major and interest. His lectures are often entertaining, and you can tell hes really passionate and really understands what hes saying. Very accessible outside class, hell help you through things if you dont understand. Class is very easy- just read the handouts!
THE BEST EVER !!! His classes are so much fun, and I loved how he shares his Wall Street stories with us which was in my opinion the best part about this ECON1000 class. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!
Amazing teacher, no one should fail this class unless that just don't care about succeeding in life. It is absolutely easy but you still learn something!
Really boring but really easy. Always available for tutoring. Only four grades which is four tests.
Absolute best professor I have ever had. He really cares and wants to see his students succeed. He gave real life applications and made Econ easy to understand. You don't need the textbook - he makes detailed worksheets that double as study guides. Only grades came from 4 tests. Easy class and great professor! Highly recommend taking his class!
Great guy, really cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. Class is pretty easy, no book is needed, he provides handouts online that are pretty much used on the test. There are 4 tests and he usually drops like 4 or so questions, so it's a lot easier to do well in this class. Overall great guy and easy class.
Best teacher you will ever have. If you have a test out of 34 questions he grades you from 29 so you automatically have 5 you can miss and still get a 100. Greatest teacher Ive ever had because he really knows how to teach not just all that lecturing.
Professor Garr always says that he's a wall street guy, meaning that he's very fast paced, but that also means that he's always ready to help a student. Anytime any day. DO the multiple choice questions on the bottom of his powerpoint, those are basically the test questions. Tests are pretty simple just know the basics of the concepts.
This man is the greatest human I've ever met. When I first read his positive reviews, I thought people were being dramatic. I quickly learned I was wrong. He is the BEST professor at KSU. He goes above and beyond to help you understand the material. I'm a CJ major and he helped me make an A. Take him! I promise you won't regret it. No need for book
Very good speaker, makes economics simple and interesting. He's very inpsiritational and funny. If you're taking Economics at KSU and you don't take him you're making a huge mistake. Gives you everything you need to Ace the class
Professor Garr is a great teacher. He makes everything really practical and simple 100% recent. He said the book is required but you wont need it
He is the GOAT!!! On the last day, I was genuinely sad to leave because he is just that great! He does a review before each test, & he practically tells you whats on the test. He posts all his lectures and reviews online. You can also miss between 4-5 questions on the test & still make a 100. You're truly missing out if you don't take him!
Professor Garr is amazing! Economics is definitely not a familiar subject to me. He was very helpful and I went to office hours every day for help. He often emailed me and other students to make sure we were okay with material we studied. He uploads lecture PDFs on D2L and his classes are fun. Flunked the first test and ended with an A at the end.
I love prof. Garr! definitely the best professor at KSU! He's so caring and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. He understands that not everyone is a business major, so he does his best to put things in a perspective so that everyone understands. I would take him again if I could haha
This professor is the BEST! I was heartbroken on the last day of class because I enjoyed listening to Mr. Garr & his real life experience working on Wall Street. He cares, he goes out of his way, & is the most understanding person I've ever met. Seriously, take his class. I'm not very good at econ but this man is heaven sent & made it a breeze.
the most amazing man.
Tom Garr is so nice! He goes above and beyond to see his students succeed. There are 4 tests, and those are the only grades. No homework or quizzes! He gives study guides and notes!! He is by far one of my favorite professors at KSU!
What are you doing? Stop reading this and sign up for his class before all the spots are taken up! I never thought I would be excited to go to an econ class but since he has real world experience he is very good at clearly explaining the material. My only note is I wish he taught other econ classes so I could take him again!
Take him! He teaches you everything you need to know about his tests. He basically spoon feeds you GPA and he is really funny. He doesn't take attendance but puts everything you need to know on D2L. He is awesome and I 100% recommend him!
He was a very caring professor. He made the class extremely easy as long as you look through the study guides online they are just like the test. Hes a very nice guy and has lots of knowledge in his field. Lots of great stories. He says to get a Textbook but I never had to use it and got an A. You can tell he actually wants everyone to pass ECON.
By far the most amazing professor I have ever had. So genuine and caring, does ANYTHING for his students. Goes above & beyond. Cant say enough good words about this man. Youd truly be doing yourself a disservice by taking anyone else for economics!
He does anything to help you understand the concepts. Very caring, flexible, and charismatic; Easy A if you study the online worksheets!
AWESOME PROFESSOR. TAKE HIM. HE WILL HELP YOU WHENEVER WITH WHATEVER.
He is very clear on what will be on exams and posts all notes on D2L. Lectures usually ended about 15 minutes early. He did not assign homework. There were four exams. He dropped the lowest exam.
I was terrified of this class at first. I didn't do well on the first test and those are your only grades in the class. He is super helpful. He puts all the handouts online. In the handouts are questions. These are your test questions just rephrased with different names and numbers. Take him if you can! I wish he taught more levels of ECON.
He is the man!! You can miss 4 questions on the test and still make a 100... no attendance needed but you will want to go because he is so awesome!
This man is hands down the best professor at KSU. He cares about you learning but also making a good grade. Tests are not tricky and from the study guide. Only four tests and dropped the lowest test grade. Always accessible outside of class for further help.
He is the best professor I have ever had. I wish all of my teachers were like him! He genuinely cares for every student and wants them to do well. You're graded on four easy tests (but he drops lowest.)
AMAZING. drops lowest test grade. all the answers are from the questions from each lecture outline. will respond in seconds. He is purely here for us. you can miss 4 questions on the test and make a 100
He is the best teacher you will EVER have!! If his class is open, you better sign up quick. He is 100% here for us whenever you need him. He makes Econ interesting too. You can miss 4 questions on the tests and still make a 100% and he also drops your lowest test grade. All the tests are straight from the back of each chapter in your textbook!
I took this class last year, but I had to come back and tell you all to take him. He is the most amazing man and professor you'll ever meet.
Professor Garr was hilarious and a really great guy. Always had the best interest in mind for the student and wants everyone to get an A. He is also really funny and tells lots of cool stories from his days at First Boston.
He's one of them professors that actually knows how to do their job and he did the best he could do for everyone to understand the content. He would reply back to you ASAP. Four test were easy if you study off his powerpoints and study guide, and he drops your lowest test.
Professor Garr was by far the best professor I've ever had. He cares so much about you being successful. He makes sure we know what material we are testing on even gives you questions to practice that are just like the test. He makes it impossible to fail the class.
All you have to do is study for an hour and you will know what to do. Ask him to email you the write-up
He is the BEST professor. He always gives you a few free questions on each exam & practice questions just like the ones on the exam. 4 Exams, lowest dropped. Everything you need posted on d2l. He will do conference calls, send you writeups, email you with 24/7 availability. He truly wants you to learn and do well. He is so kind and really cares.
If you don't take this Professor, I don't know what you're thinking about! Definitely 100% recommend you to take him. The most reasonable, caring, respected professor in this area as far as I know. TAKE HIS CLASS!!! You will not regret it.
He's the most caring professor I have ever had. He genuinely cares about the success of his students and just wants to teach you how economics works in the real world. If you need help, it is super easy to reach out to him.
For the love of God, take this man. He is extremely understanding and wants to see you succeed. He curves tests and if you do the worksheets, you will make A's on the test.
Tom Garr is the best professor I've ever had at KSU. He genuinely cares about the fate of his students and is incredibly caring and inspirational. He's got your back and wants you to succeed.
Tom Garr is an absolute GOAT. He cares about how you're doing as a student as well as a person. He made Econ 1000 comprehensible and I got a high B in his class. He will answer any email at any time. He had 4 tests and prepares you so well for them. He wants you to do well and will do anything to help you out. I recommend him, a 10/10!
Only a few tests, all multiple choice. His lectures follow PDFs he posts online and the tests follow the study guide to a T. At the end of each PDF are practice problems from the book, do them (they show up on tests) and if you dont get something you can email and hell respond immediately even if its 3 am. Hes amazing, if you can get him do it.
Tom Garr is the best professor I've had thus far. He is so sweet&understanding. I never thought I would have a professor who TRULY cares about your success even after you finish his class. I enjoyed the class and this man truly knows what he is talking about. The skills he teaches& gives you can be used in the real world. He is so genuine.
Do not think about, just take him!! He is the best ECON prof I ever had. He explains everything with stories, so it is easy to understand the material. He is accessible anytime, if you need help. He also has write ups. TAKE HIM!!
Thomas Garr is the best professor I've had at KSU. He somehow made econ easy to understand! There's 4 exams and he drops the lowest one. Attendance isnt mandatory, but GO! He is so funny and gives amazing lectures. If you study your notes and go to exam review day, you'll do great. He does a very good job at making it not seem so bad. TAKE HIM!
genuinely, one of the nicest professors ever. will give you every chance he can to give you an a. just pay attention during the lectures or read the write ups and youll pass.
Hands down the best professor I've ever had. He cares deeply about his students and gives them every opportunity to excel in his class. He offers extra help and examples by email and he will have a phone conference to make sure you clearly understand the material. Study guides are essentially the test. Tom Garr is incredible. Take him if you can!!!
Best professor I've ever had! The lectures are interesting and he focuses on giving students practical knowledge instead of making them memorize a bunch of useless definitions. He makes economics exciting and interesting. although the classes are large he's diligent about making personal connections. He genuinely wants to see students succeed!
Absolutely adored Professor Garr. He makes learning Economics a breeze! He cares so much for his students and just wants us to succeed. He was the most available professor I've ever had, his response time to emails was less than a day, and he's always willing to talk to you! I loved his class, if I had to take him again, I ABSOLUTELY would.
Study the lessons well and you will receive a really good grade. Go to class, it helps a lot. I did not need the textbook.
Professor Tom Garr is the best teacher I have ever had and will more than likely be the best that you've ever had, if you decide to take him. His lectures are phenomenal, he is experienced in his field and he is absolutely hilarious. He loves his class and he cares so much about his students. Take him and put in the work, and you won't regret it.
He is an amazing teacher, even virtually. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed at all cost. There are only 4 tests that make up your grade but he ensures youre able to pass. You dont need the textbook either, just take notes and pay attention during class and you will do great.
Great professor! One of my favorite teachers.
Professor Garr was the best professor ever. He makes sure all of his students understand the content and he is very accessible after class. He cares for all of his students' success. I had him for online Econ my freshman year this year and he was the best.
WONDERFULL ECON PROFESSOR!!! TAKE HIM ONLY 4 TESTS BUT HE BASICALLY GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS IN THE STUDY GUIDE I WISH HE TAUGHT UPPER-LEVEL ECON CLASSES!!!! HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR AT KSU!!!
He's the best professor at KSU. TAKE HIM!!! He wrote me a recommendation letter without me asking
Amazing professor! Only graded in 4 tests which are super easy thanks to the study guides he gives us! He really cares about all of his students
Garr is am AMAZING professor! Youre lucky if you get the opportunity to take his class. Great lectures, easy tests with study guides and it isnt lockdown. Only grades are 4 tests and the class finishes early in the semester.
I wish there was more than 350 characters available to type about this man. I had him last year and am just now leaving a review because he had a lasting impact on me. To every other professor at KSU, TAKE NOTES! Tom Garr is a godsend and I'm not even being dramatic. Tom if you're reading this I love you. Thank you for being amazing.
One of the best professors I've ever had! He really cares about you. His lectures are so understanding. If you didn't understand, he'd make sure you did! Test's were easy.
I enjoyed this course very much. I took his class during the summer so the semester was shortened. While the class was very fast-paced I was able to understand what we were learning. Review the notes they are very helpful and they have all the information you will need for the exams. I would recommend this class to any new students at KSU.
Tom Garr is an AMAZING professor!!!! I will advise anyone to take this course with him. He truly is a gift from heaven. I had him awhile ago and was thinking about him the other day. He truly had such a great impact on my life. He inspires you and does not make you feel stupid when you do not understand the material. This man is the real deal!!!!!!
Best teacher ever!! He cares so much for his students and makes sure they understand the content. Only grades are exams which are very easy and done online. He provides practice questions that are just like the exams. Always cracks jokes and tells stories. Never did attendance. Easy A. Definitely take him if you can!!
If you have the chance to take Professor GarrDO NOT HESITATE!!! Not only is he personable, hes super easy. You dont need to come to class at all to get an A+, but youll also never regret going because its fun and full of life lessons. No lockdown for tests and theres only 4. No other grades. Dont buy the text book please you wont use it.
Professor Garr is God sent. Easily the best Professor I have ever had. Only grades are four tests. He does a whole review day and gives definitions/examples for the test so its impossible to fail it. So so helpful and easy to reach at any time of day. Literally the best. All professors need to be like Tom.
Professor Garr is truly unlike any other professor. I am so happy I signed up for his class. Although his class sizes are large he really makes you felt seen and heard. His lectures are very informative but also relatable. He will really do anything for you and genuinely wants you to succeed. Please take him! You will not regret it!! He is the best
To say that I love Professor Garr to death would be an understatement. Going to his classes is like getting a crash course on life. He is the funniest guy and cares for each and every student. When I say that I would take this class 100 times over just to hear him speak, I mean it. Every word he says is pure gold and he speaks from experiences.
Great Professor! He really cares about his students' success not only in his class but in life. He is able to incorporate great advice into his lessons while also throughly preparing you for the exams. The course is pretty easy just be sure to attend lectures and attend office hours if you have questions. He also responds to emailed questions!
Garr is amazing! Just take him! The easiest class I have ever taken and I suck at econ. He literally gives you the test in the form of 'write-ups' where he breaks down how to do the problems word by word. He's also very funny and gives great lectures.
Very caring professor. Just make sure to study
Great professor!! Grade wasn't to high after the first 2 test, but really helped me and I ended up with an A.
G.O.A.T.
Professor Garr is brilliant. Prior to teaching, he ran a WILDLY successful investment company. He teaches now for fun, and more importantly, because he wants to help young adults understand how the economy works. Attendance is not mandatory, but his lectures were so interesting that I went to every class. HIGHLY recommend.
This professor is easily the most caring at KSU. You will not regret taking him. 4 tests and the class ends early. Lectures are SO interesting, he provides a zoom option as well.
KSU really found a gem with Tom Garr. This man will bend over backwards to make sure you get an A in his class. Is by far the greatest professor I have ever had in my four years of university!
He is understanding that most students are taking his class because they have to, not because they want to, and does everything he can to make the class easy and enjoyable. 4 exams that are online and at home during the normal class period, and he has very thorough reviews before every exam where he practically tells you the answers to the test.
Just all around amazing. He made economics interesting and easy. He sent out notes after each lecture. He was really understanding about working with students.
Garr is the best; he is so incredibly kind and wants to help every single student succeed. Not only will you learn a bunch about Economics, but you'll find yourself learning practical everyday things that make you a better student. Only four tests throughout the entire semester, but he makes sure everyone is well prepared before test day. Take!
Graded by four exams w/o a webcam and no lock-down browser. He gives out what he calls "right ups," they're entirely typed-up notes. Occasionally you'll write a little bit more or underline it on top of what's there, but rarely. Options to attend via zoom and will send you the recorded lecture if you are sick. you have to try to fail.
He's the best professor I've taken so far at ksu. He grades by 4 tests, no respondus. Can attend via zoom. Provides "write-ups" which basically are typed notes. Its literally impossible to fail this class. TAKE HIM.
Tom Garr is one of my favorite professors, he has written me recommendation letters and has given me awesome career advice. He is here for you!!
I was not really good with economics in high school but he made it super fun and easy. I believe we were graded based on 4 test, which he gave us a very in-depth study guide for before them that matched material on the test. Also drops lowest exam grade. Hilarious and easy to talk to. Probably the best professor you are going to get while at KSU.
Probably the most amazing professor at Kennesaw State. Always accessible and has a genuine desire for student growth. Material is hard but he makes understanding the concepts simple. If you have the chance, I highly recommend you take a class with Professor Garr.
Probably the best professor at KSU. He is so caring for his students. If you can not take the exam one day, he will let you take it another day. He wants to see his students succeed. This class is very easy. Take his class. You will not regret it. He even wrote me a recommendation letter. He is the best.
Mr. Garr is an absolute gem at KSU. He knows what he's talking about, is clear about his lectures and what's on the tests (4 tests throughout semester). He's a professor who genuinely cares about your wellbeing & your success in his class & outside his class. 100/10. No hw, no quizzes, notes are online.
Professor Garr is the best professor I have had at KSU and I HIGHLY recommend him. There is no homework at all and his test are exactly what he teaches. He also drops your lowest test grade. He is very caring and wants all his students to succeed. He's the best and I would take him as a professor any day!!
Professor Garr is the absolute best professor and I HIGHLY recommend taking him. He genuinely cares about each student and their success. He is almost always available to help his students and he sends out write ups after every lecture to summarize what he talked about. He also holds review sessions before each test. Very kind and accommodating
Able to work around schedules and a great economics teacher.
He really wants each student to pass his class without being stressed at all. Genuinely a good human being and we are lucky to have him at KSU.
He will give you exactly what to study for online exams (which aren't lockdown). He will bend over backwards for you to do well in his class, and change your exam date to fit your schedule. He is SUPER NICE!! No homework, no quizzes, and (in my class) drops the lowest exam grade. Also, this class is only ~2 months.
Professor Garr is easily one of the greatest and kindest professors on KSU's campus. Not only did our class truly learn and grasp the material, he worked tirelessly to ensure that each student's schedule but cares and makes a course as daunting as ECON super easy to understand/grasp. 10/10!
This professor is the most caring professor I've ever had a KSU. He truly goes the extra mile for everyone in the class and will help you ANYTIME. His lectures are straight forward and sends write ups after each class for further clarification and help on harder topics. Also oupt out of the textbook to save money, you won't use it.
The most caring teacher at KSU. He goes above and beyond and is flexible with time for all his students. Also, the textbook is not needed. :)
Professor Garr was straightforward. He graded by 4 super easy tests that were online during class time, no quizzes or hw ever. Every class before a test, he would go over what is on the test and post the definitions of everything online. I never paid attention in class and still got A's on every test. Attendance is not mandatory but he has zooms.
Probably the best professor i've had at KSU! He cares about all of his students and is incredibly quick and detailed with his responses. The class is graded off of only 4 exams but he overly prepares you for them and he says depending on grades he'll drop the lowest. 100% take him if you can!!!
Professor Garr is amazing and is genuinely trying to help every student in his class succeed. He makes econ easy and his lectures are interesting and made to be helpful for your life regardless of your major. The textbook is not required and you're graded by 4 tests. The write ups (not graded) will give you all you need to succeed. Take his class!
Professor Garr is considered the best professor at KSU. He will do anything for his students. The class is easy because he is such a good teacher if you get a chance take his class.
Prof Garr is the best! He is super caring and available literally 24/7. His class is an easy A. The only grades are four tests which are taken at home with no lockdown browser. You don't need to show up to his lectures but you should because they are interesting and really informative. Overall Garr is amazing and is known as the best prof on campus
Professor Garr is by far the best professor that I have had so far. Makes it very easy to understand, no homework, no quizzes, and only 4 exams that he completely prepares you for. After our last exam he dropped my lowest exam grade, and also wrote a letter or recommendation! He truly cares about his students and it shows. TAKE HIM IF POSSIBLE.
This is the professor you want to take for as many classes as possible. He is an amazing man who teaches you things you can use in life and makes a boring class so fun. He is such a nice man and remembers a lot of his students. He takes time to make sure students get the most out of his class.
One of the most caring professors at KSU! His class ended halfway through the semester and exams were pretty easy.
It's true and everyone else is right - Tom Garr is truly an amazing professor. He is funny, insightful, and helps you truly understand economics. Grades from 4 tests, but you get so many opportunities for assistance that it's insane. Offers Zoom/recordings if you cannot make it to lecture for some reason. Class ends early too! Take his class!!
I wish I could give him 10 stars... he's literally an angel! Please take this class he's so awesome and so caring. Ive never met a teacher so determined to help everyone pass with an A.
my favorite professor, I wish he would teach other classes. He truly cares for your success in and out of his class. only graded from 4 tests, attendance isn't mandatory but you get more of the class if you go dont expect to find answers online tho, take his class to learn, he is so funny and has many funny stories to learn from.
Professor Garr is one of the best professors I've had at KSU. He truly cares for all his students and encourages us to reach out for help when needed.
Just the best.
His class was great. The class grade is based on 4 exams and he will do everything he can to get you to pass. He will give notes on all his lectures and you can join the lecture online or in person. He will review everything before the exam to ensure you are prepared.
Professor Garr is an amazing person! In his class he provides so much of his knowledge and experiences. Very accommodating and accessible outside of class. He will make sure that all of his students thrive in the course. Content is easy, no homework only 4 tests with plenty of review for them in class. Tests are online at home, no lockdown browser.
If you ever have the chance to take Tom Garr DO IT! He is the most amazing professor I have ever had. He cares about each student that passes through the doors and is always accessible if you need help. This man is a saint and I wish he taught other classes.
Tom Garr was an amazing professor. He truly cares about his students, if you have the opportunity to take him do it.
TAKE HIM!!!! This is the easiest class you could possibly take at KSU. Professor Garr is so understanding he will let you take the exams early or later if you got something going on. No homework which is nice. Exams are no lockdown + no camera. If you want a easy A take him there is no way someone can fail this class
Listen to what everyone else says. If you don't take him for ECON at KSU you're doing it wrong as he's phenomenal. You learn a lot from him as he is experienced. It's almost impossible to get less than an A in his class.
KSU's greatest professor of all time that has ever graced this earth ever.
best Econ prof I could have asked for, easiest class ive ever taken
Legendary Professor. I attended two classes and got a 100 in the class sign up for this class already.
The best Professor at Kennesaw literally! Very helpful when it comes to tests or anything else. Would take his class a million times again.
Professor Garr is a GOD. They should rename the building after him. The man changed my life. He's so inspirational. I used to be so lazy and unmotivated, but now I earn straight A's because of him. I always looked forward to going to his class because his lectures were incredible, and were honestly the highlight of my day. I wish I could go back.
Garr is by far the best! His first goal is his students and will make the course easy for everyone. He works around you and will help you if you start to struggle and will get you back on track. I love this man!
love him, so sweet and easy a class
I genuinely love this man. There are no words to describe the care and desire he has for everyone to pass the course. He will literally reply to your email at 3am or answer any questions you have at anytime of the day to help you understand! If you understand the writeups, the exam will be a breeze. I couldn't stress it enough TAKE PROFESSOR GARR!!
WWWWw professor ones of the best ones I've had this semester TAKE HIM THE GOAT!
He's a great teacher and the class is so simple and easy. He wants to make sure his students succeed, he'll stay on zoom call to make sure you p=understand and pass. Attendance isn't mandatory but it is beyond simple ..
Is genuinely a great professor. He cares about you as a person.
TAKE THIS CLASS! Best professor at KSU. He wants you to get an "A". The only way you do not get an "A" is if you don't take the test. No homework. He gives you everything you need for the test and more. He offers extra help for each test. Super funny and nice.
Professor Garr is a legend. His classes are a breeze, and he genuinely cares about his students. I used unstuck AI and the free textbook to ace this class. Would take it again in a heartbeat!
Genuinely the nicest human being. Gave so many resources to feel prepared for the test. He cares and it's so sweet. Likes to have inspirational talks and interactive lectures
If you're taking econ, take Tom Garr! This class was a breeze, and I genuinely learned a lot. My freshman year was tough, and there were times when I wasn't prepared for a test, but he was so understanding and gave me extensions when I needed them. If you want a teacher who truly cares about his students, take him!
What is there to say? Easily the best professor on this campus. Run, don't walk, to make his class
Garr is truly the BEST i cannot stress that enough. he livestreams lectures on zoom and doesn't take attendance. his lectures are super interactive and funny so i would still go. there's 4 total exams and no other assignments (he dropped our lowest exam). the exams are no lockdown, no webcam, and no class that day so you can take them from home.
Loved this class. Really helped me get rid of the anxiety about starting college.
He is an incredible Professor. He is always available to help you and will go above and beyond to make sure his students understand the coursework. He genuinely cares about his students and will help you get to your goals. 100% would take him again, never skipped because he is actually interesting. Just a great guy.
Garr was awesome! he really cares about the future of his students and wants each of us to be successful in life after college. he only grades on tests that are open note/openbook. he wants us to do well and get an A but also learn life lessons and economics for future needs. would take again 100%
I was terrified to take ECON because of how ECON was in high school. I highly highly recommend Professor Garr. He cares so much for his students. His tests are online, and if anyone is feeling super stressed before the test he goes above and beyond to make sure hey are ready and even offers for them to take it on a different day. He is a lifesaver
This guy is simply the greatest. All he cares about is your success, and he makes sure that you know that.
Not enough good things to say about Tom Garr! He is the single best prof I've ever had. Genuinely wants you to succeed not only in class, but in life. Took his class at 6:30pm and am so glad I chose him instead of another prof w a better time. Everyone should get to experience his class :)
The greatest professor I've ever taken in all of KSU. Teaches econ concepts effortlessly and with a good dash of humor to help you remember. Extremely caring, understanding, and will literally bend over backwards to help you get an A+. Every professor should be like this.
The best professor ksu has. He cares so much about teaching us but also about making people understand money and real world problems. A lot of people stop showing up but he really is so interesting and also makes the class laugh. If you cannot get into his class then try another semester, it's worth it.
This professor is a gift from Jesus Christ. This class will by far be the easiest in your academic career at Kennesaw State University. He goes above and beyond for his students; he is everything and a bag of chips. I can not and will not lie to you if you DO NOT take his class, you will be missing out on a HUGE BLESSING, do you hear me. Take Him.
Take him!! You can tell he loves what he does and he truly does care about everyone. One of the best professors I have ever taken.
Professor Garr is literallyy the definition of going above and beyond. Super caring and will do anything for you to understand economics. He makes this class super understandable and his lectures are so interesting!! Would never skip a lecture, he's amazing.
He's literally the best, take him, thank me later. You will get an A in this course.
Professor Garr is the sweetest man on earth, he is an excellent instructor. He is funny and engaging and makes lectures a breeze. He will do anything in his power to make sure you leave this class with the grade you want, going above and beyond to help students. Attendance is not mandatory, tests are easy with notes, no homework. TAKE HIS CLASSES!!
Easy A. Take him if you can.
Is there anything more to say apart from the fact that Professor Garr is the absolute best! Please take him!!!
He is genuinely one of the best professors I've ever had. He's a great person. He cares for everyone and will do anything to ensure you succeed in life. Try to take him at least once at KSU you won't regret it.
He is extremely caring and checks in with you often. All the tests are online and you don't come to the actual classroom to take them. If you want to pass this class and his tests, ask for the write ups after every lecture. They are literally life savers. If you cant make it to his class, you can go through the zoom. (his stories are the best!!)
Extremely friendly but professional guy with a tangible passion for teaching. Even though attendance isn't mandatory, I'd still go to every single lecture. Genuinely tries and succeeds in making econ fun and understandable. Every lecture will be an inspirational experience. He'll tell you that you can email him at 2am. 100% take his classes.
He is arguably the best professor at KSU.I would tell anyone to take his class, even if they didn't need it for their major. His constant availability and genuine support for his students become longlasting assets beyond just a letter grade.If you need a great ECON professor or simply a cheerleader in your corner, Professor Garr won't let you down!
I urge every freshmen and new students coming to kennesaw to take this professor. Seriously I feel like you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't take him. His last lecture left an impact on me that I still think about to this day.
