MATH116 . Garfield P M 8 Months Ago

His behavior demonstrates clear racial prejudice. He has mocked individuals from Panama, Greenland, and Gaza. I would strongly advise against taking his course unless you subscribe to white supremacist ideologies.

MATH116 . Garfield P M 8 Months Ago

Has not graded any midterms or given any feedback. More than a week late to post grades, and was does not give very good lectures. Rely on self studying.

MATH116 . Garfield P M 8 Months Ago

I'm sure he's great for lower div classes but for upper division classes hes an absolute mess. He hasnt graded either of our 2 class exams, forgets to post homework MOST WEEKS, and regularly lies about things such as releasing lecture slides or giving us exam information. Also does not care to give practice exams, so you have NO CLUE whats going on

He's a nice guy, cracks some dad jokes here and there during lecture. Class is HW heavy, but he posts good slides and gives helpful resources for the tests.

Taken for Math182; This professor was very easy posted lecture notes and homework was very easy and doable. No midterms, but be prepared for weekly gradescope quizzes. Final was a group paper + Group presentation. If you want an easy A take this prof for 182!

Garfield teaches in a way that makes me understand his material less. I do not like math and he contributed even more to it. Section was actually helpful though. He uploads practice tests that are almost identical to the actual tests so shoutout to bro.
