Dr.Garrison was an excellent professor. 1501 is by no means an easy course, you have to be practicing a lot of the algorithms on your own. Dr.Garrison will provide the base for the algorithms in class, but it is your duty as a student to practice and learn the algorithms on your own. The assignments are fairly difficult, but if you start early, they are pretty manageable.

1501 is a monster class regardless of whom the instructor is, but Ramirez does a great job. I'd definitely recommend him or Khattab (who uses Ramirez's slides) over Farnan or Garrison (who uses Farnan's slides).
