ECON135 . 2 Months Ago

Easily one of the best professors in the Econ department. I took 135 with him this spring and learned so much about monetary policy, inflation, Fed, crypto, etc. from him. He makes lecture so interesting and I looked forward to every class, he talked about his time at the Fed too. Really friendly as well. Could not recommend more

Prof Garratt is great. This class won't stress you out but you will still learn a lot. Lectures are straight from the textbook for the most part. Two quizzes, both multiple choice. Would recommend

ECON135 . 5 Years Ago

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.

ECON135 . 6 Years Ago

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!

ECON135 . 8 Years Ago

Pretty easy class you just have to do the reading, and theres a decent amount. Material itself is easy. Three midterms and a final which are all multiple choice. My big complaint is that Professor Garratt is so rude and unapproachable. I felt scared whenever I talked to him, which has really never happened to me before with a professor in college.
