A lot of reading but generally fair tests. lectures are interesting, final grade on a curve

Prof Garratt is truly an asset to UCSB. Go to lecture, as he discusses many thought provoking real world examples about Econ. I attended his office hours very frequently as they always proved to be helpful when I was struggling with practice exam questions. He definitely is one of my favorite profs here and I learned a lot while in his class

You can see that this professor really enjoys teaching his students the material, he's easygoing person who loves to see participation in the class. Econ itself can be tricky but reviewing material in the online textbook which has similar questions to the exams helps.

By far one of my favorite professors, he is a great lecture, good person, and on top of the he made the class really easy. Would highly recommend. Take Econ 1 even if you arent going to major in Econ as this class is interesting and easy

Garratt is a great professor. His lectures are very clear and straightforward, so as his tests, which are probably 80% identical to the past tests he posted. Make sure you read the textbook to understand the lecture because the slides could be a little vague. Other than than, easy A if you put in some effort.

Great lectures, but his tests are INSANE. First quiz was easy but I had to make a 16(!) page reviewer for the second quiz, and there are 3 quizzes and a Final. Too much material is covered and he puts questions about minute details from the book that don't add any value to the main concept, just for random trick questions. DON'T TAKE 135 W/ HIM!
