Christine is so sweet, caring, and compassionate. She creates such a warm environment and made class enjoyable and low-stress. Was such a nice break in an otherwise busy day. The content was interesting and class is heavily discussion based. The curriculum feels scattered and redundant at points, but that may just be the topic matter.Rate My Professors ↗

I could not recommend Professor Garlough enough! The care she has for her students and the topics she teaches is unmatched. I would truly be honored to take another one of her classes!!!!Rate My Professors ↗
If all professors were like Dr. Garlough, the world would be a much better place. Lectures are full of lots of information but the environment is very friendly and Dr. Garlough is very understanding.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Garlough is super sweet and has her students' best interest at heart. However, the required readings were not discussed during discussion most of the time, and her lectures covered so many topics, but all superficially. Her slides had too much information on. The midterm/final and paper were all fairly easy to do well on and get an A.Rate My Professors ↗
Best professor hands down. Genuinely cares about her students wellbeing and taking something out of her class. Not hard grader, she just wants you to learn and take what's being said in her class to the outside world. She IS amazing. She's so personable and super interesting to listen to. HIGHLY recommend!Rate My Professors ↗
