Reviews of professor Ryan Giffen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a great professor. He genuinely cares about his students and gives really good feedback. There's a lot of work in this class, specially the group project, but he is a fair grader. Also, his lectures are very interesting which makes coming to class a lot more fun.

This man is an amazing teacher. Because it is a hybrid class there is homework that you are responsible outside of class. He wants you to succeed and will give you clear feedback on all your work! His classes are easy to pay attention to and he is all around a cool guy.

Professor Giffen has been a great help during Fall 2020 by connecting with his students every week, returning assignments in a timely fashion, and providing feedback to increase our knowledge for this course. I enjoyed his class, and if you guys are planning to take this course soon, take it with him because you wont regret it.

Giffen is an amazing prof. - one of the best in the dept., probably the school. His grading criteria is very clear and fair. Expect a lot of writing, one giant group project (which is not that hard). No exams. Share textbook if you can. He deeply cares about his students and their success. Very motivational and fun guy. Easy A if you put in effort.

If you've taken his other online classes before, then this is not different. Class was asynchronous and you had to answer 1 question from the chapter each week, 3 papers, and both the midterm and final were presentations you had to record. It's a really easy class as long as you keep up with the weekly deadlines.

I have never met such a passionate professor. I took his marketing class and super super simple. There is a big group project due at the end and you need to present it. Unfortunately due to COVID, our class no longer needed to present but just turned in the group paper instead. He has you do MTR for the assigned chapters, like a recap worksheet.

I LOVE Giffen! Out of my entire time in college he is one of the best professors that I have had. He makes you excited to go to class and he is so funny! There is a big group project, which happens over the course of the semester so don't worry, and other assignments, but they aren't too hard. I wish he taught every hospitality class!

No exams for the class and only case studies. It was a super straightforward class and he is very helpful. Be ready to write, write, write. Since this class was online, we had discussions, MTR, and case studies. Overall, a really good class and would highly recommend him.

GIFFEN IS GREAT!! I've taken 4 classes with him, each having a group project. He makes you critically think, but you will learn so much in his class. The work load may seem daunting at first, but its worth it! He is one of the best professors I've had- genuine, enjoyable, relatable, and willing to help. If he's teaching the class, I'm taking it!
