Prof Farrelly is such a great guy. Fun to listen to and always quick with jokes. Super caring, he's the only professor who has ever reached out to me after I missed a number of lectures due to personal circumstance. Well organized lectures and content that was genuinely interesting to learn about. Highly recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Farrelly is a great guy and professor. He values building meaningful relationships with each student and is always there to help. He is very knowledgeable and loves to joke with his students. His class is super chill. Normally only one homework assignment per week and a final paper and slideshow.Rate My Professors ↗
He is very interested in what he teaches which makes the class so much better. He often has guest lecturers and interacts with the class. It is reading heavy but there are discussions on the readings in class. Overall, he is knowledgable, friendly, and positive. I would recommend this professor.Rate My Professors ↗
