Really unenthusiastic, hates being asked questions, old, unmotivated, hates job, hates students. Professor's office reflects his attitude toward job (its a complete mess). Would never take him again under any circumstance.

Comment:
Funny guy, but not a talented instructor. The material for both classes is much more simple than he makes it look in class. Get the help of older students if you can. He will help you best if you go to his office personally. Prof Gartner is well known & respected in his field. Don't think he missed a trick just because he ignored your shenanigans!

Comment:
This is my second class with his professor. He knows the material well, and if you ask he will explain things more clearly. He seems to only cover what is important and anytime he assigns HWK it is directly related to what was covered in class. Then hell tell you almost exactly how to do it. Tests are open book but can be tricky.

Comment:
Dr. Gartner is a nice guy. He delivers a lot of sass when he wants to when answering questions, but other times, he is very helpful. His handwriting on the board is illegible; be sure to ask him what he wrote if you can't read it. His test are open book. The book for this course is fantastic, so no issues there!

Comment:
terrible, terrible teacher - best way to say it is there is no feasible reason why anyone would want to take a class with this man. he is not available at his posted office hours - you need to make an appt, which he will make for a week away when your question is about the homework that is now. avoid

Please avoid this man at all cost. His teaching style is crude and he is only concerned about himself. Went to his office for help and he said he does not have time for students. He is very busy doing his research. What he should research is how to be a better teacher!

Awful teacher! Boring, and he is also angry all the time. His office looks like a landfill. What can you expect from someone like that

Comment:
The instructor is a laid back guy. The class is based on lectures with slides and HMK is assigned every week. Hmk is easy and tests look simple, but are packed with puzzle tricks. Class is boring. The instructor doesn't facilitate students to learn the material regarding the subject.

Gartner is a phenominal, professional educator. His extensive background consists of decades of education and research. He is as eager as he is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of the subject material. He always shows up on time and begins with great jokes to gain attention. Everything he teaches is very relevant to eng. practice.

Professor Gartner is an extremely easy laid back professor he adjust the class to the students needs. Its great to go to class because he makes the entire class laugh so hard. A few times he even brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard. Can't wait to laugh with him in future classes!

Gartner is an A+ professor in my book and one of UML finest. He gives excellent notes and a lecture that is impeccable. Do the homework and the exams are very straightforward his classes are and easy A. I wish other teachers at UML would model there lectures from Professor Gartner because he teaches with great humor, his jokes are hilarious!

Horrible professor. Good engineer. Stay in your field. Class notes are so vague that homework becomes devastating. It should be an easier class than it actually is.

Comment:
I had him for two classes in 1986-87 and he had excellent knowledge on his rather acutely focused subject. But my career went that way and I still use some of the skills I learned from him to this day. So gie the guy a break if he's still teaching. He was old back then!Dave Horsfall CA PE 50207

Material fairly easy but he wastes so much class time and leaves halfway through class for 10-20 min break. not bad but i would rather not take a break than be there till 4:45. Impossible to get a hold of.
