Reviews of professor Joanne Griffin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Griffin is nice and really does try for her students. However, she was extremely unclear with assignments and answers to questions. She would often end up in rants about other topics and it became very confusing to follow. Your grade comes from 6 papers throughout the course, she also changes up material every semester.

Shes a good prof, easy class. There are about 6 papers throughout the year and roughly 10 journals, so there's a lot of writing. she goes over all homework in the class so you don't need to read anything outside of the required reading for essays but they're like 20 pages top. she's super nice. she goes out of her way to get to know every person.

Very nice lady, but not a very good teacher. Extremely vague about the essay topics even thought she is looking for certain things in the writing. Overall a pretty boring class

Professor Griffin's class felt very disorganized. She had to revise her syllabus because we fell behind, but still expected due dates to be the same. The midterm and final were very difficult, as she expected you to master the content while having little content in the lectures. I'm not sure if it's different not online, but I don't recommend her.

Honestly, was one of the most confusing professors I've ever had. Often doesn't stick to one topic and is superfluous with her lectures and readings. Mandatory office hours for essays and will randomly call on students. Not difficult but it's such a boring experience overall.

This professor is very all over the place. She seems knowledgeable about the content she teaches, but at the same time does not. Very confusing. If you skip class, she drops your grade a letter, so you are forced to attend. If this class was an hour long maybe it would be okay, but for two hours It was hard. She has very high expectations.
