Reviews of professor Ryan Giffen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Ryan is an excellent professor & it's clear he wants his students to learn, do well, and succeed in his class. My only feedback is I wish there was a stronger connection between the weekly assignments & the final project. It felt a bit disjointed & left my group with plenty of questions on how to complete it. Don't be afraid to ask questions though

I suggest the faculty themselves sits in on a "Giffen-nator" class so they can pick up what hes laying down! And thats a whole lot of motivation, insight and vigor! Teacher gets an A++ - He deserves a promotion!

Dr. Giffen is an amazing professor! He gives clear instructions and feedback, you can tell he really cares about his students. There are weekly readings and quizzes, so you will need to read the book to complete the worksheets. There are also 3 papers and a project but it is fairly straightforward.

Great teacher that actually cares about the material being presented. Will challenge you but his grading is the fairest that I have encountered at CSULB. Incredibly genuine person that makes the class interesting, so as long as you follow along with the material you'll be fine.

APA Formatting is a MUST! He's pretty straight forward, but any questions you may have he is more than happy to answer. 3 points for attending class-points deducted if you leave early. Do not feel intimated! On the first day the class will seem overwhelming, since every week an assignment is due, but they're based on lectures and reading.
