Very solid proffesor. The class consists of lectures based off of powerpoints with the occasional discussion at the end. Exams can be confusing even if you thoroughly review all material. He is overall pretty nice and wants his students to understand the material

Overall I had a very positive experience with this course. I was in the 8 am section and despite the time, I went to nearly every lecture because of the incentives that Professor Gardner gives you. Attending class on discussion and pop quiz days is what keep your grades outside of exams at an A, plus he really emphasizes what is important for the exam in class. The exams were fair (one midterm, one final) and were reflective of the lecture slides.

HORRIBLE. Have never had a professor as rude, unorganized, and incompetent as him. It's clear that he doesn't know how to teach (ex. expects us to remember complex econ formulas) and really shouldn't have been allowed to. It's his first time back teaching since 2019 and shows. I also requested to have more assignments (which I would never normally do) because we had no experience or practice for our first exam- and he made fun of it in front of the whole class! Really, truly, I hope he doesn't teach again but if he does, avoid him at all costs.

I am a junior Accounting and IS double major and taking this class was one of the best classes I have taken The other reviews are accurate to what he does now (small writing assignments and 2 noncumulative exams total) and I would recommend any business student to take this as an elective, who wants to get a small taste of supply chain, or wants an easy class to boost your GPA. I really really enjoyed the class it does get dry sometimes (it is about transportation) but if you pay attention and participate the class goes by fast ( I have him at 9:30 am and the class still participates). I did not think the exams were hard, he does try to curve/explain questions, and even does a review that covers some exam questions with a review sheet that helps you study. It is a cool non-business class that helps you connect to a topic you do not really study and to the real world. If he taught more classes I would take him again.

Really, really nice guy and an excellent lecturer. I don't have any trouble staying engaged in class. We had two exams total over the semester: one midterm and one non-cumulative final. All multiple choice. If you attend class, pay attention, and study from the study guide, his exams are an easy A, plus he's reasonable with his curve and throw-out questions. When I saw he was teaching 374 next semester I structured my entire schedule around it so I could take him again. Highly, highly recommend!

He is such a great professor! He makes his lectures interesting even if its on a boring subject and he genuinely wants to help his students if he can. I was definitely disappointed when his other class wouldn't fit into my schedule. His exams are surprisingly tough though. I really studied for the exams and thought I knew all the topics but I still didn't do too well on the exam. He definitely made it easier to get up for an early morning class though so I would take him again if I could

Professor Gardner is awesome--if you show him you care about the class. I went to class and participated and he was very nice and willing to help me out with course material and other career related questions. I can't say he did the same for students who didn't show or who didn't participate. He gives out A LOT of extra credit for showing up and will explicitly say things are on the exam. Which is good because his exams are tricky and long. Overall, great professor and great guy. The topic is somewhat dry, however he adds modern examples.

Very nice guy, always willing to help. He's got a good sense of humor and presents the material well. If you don't get something, go to office hours. His exams can be a bit tricky but overall they're pretty easy if you just fill out the review packets. Great professor, I'd gladly take another class of his.

Professor Grimm is awesome. Very nice guy, very approachable, and VERY knowledgeable. The class was discussion format and you get a grade for participation. We had a midterm, a final, and homework assignments, which consisted of a few questions that would be used for discussion. Class is fairly easy. Just show up, participate, do the homework assignments and you should be fine.

Professor Gardner is GREAT! I have recommended him to friends. He is very funny and super friendly and UNBELIEVABLY willing to help you. He answers student questions always - fully. He is VERY knowledgeable in the subject and he really relates concepts to real life. I love going to this class!! He's great! I wish he taught more classes. He's a super fast grader too.
