Reviews of professor Chris Girman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Chris encourages students to try and do things differently than how they may have been taught before, like with marking up texts (he is very big on that). His feedback can be unconstructive sometimes, whether it's him praising your work or saying it sucks. Some readings were questionable and he gets off topic a LOT, but it was still a good class.

He was a wonderful professor. Out of everyone I have had so far at PPU in the Literary Department, he has challenged my writing abilities in the best way possible. There are numerous reading based assignments that have helped me to strengthen my skills in analysis. However, there are also assignments such as memoir that engage students' creativity.

He is by far my favorite professor I have had since my time at Point Park. You'll write 3-4 papers but they're spread out and he really makes sure that you understand the concept. My best writing has come from this class. Also, he's really chill and understanding, he's okay with late work to a point just don't abuse his kindness and do your work.

Girman is a gem, he's very nice and understanding and his knowledge and work in activism made it a great learning experience. He picks a lot of pieces that talk about different social issues and tries to keep it diverse which I appreciated a lot.

Incredibly smart professor who requires more frequent submissions of drafts along the way to a project's completion, so that frequent feedback can help tune your creative work to the best of its abilities. Feedback can sometimes veer into unconstructive, and personality can rub some people the wrong way.
