Reviews of professor Rachel Griffin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very confusing class and material. Being blunt, Rachel is rude. If you have any question, you better be prepared or you will be ridiculed. Expects students to know where they stand in class despite refusing to input any grade all semester. Tough final paper. Hides the fact you need to work on final paper throughout semester until final week. Snake.

She made me look forward to a three-hour class every week. She creates an environment where students can feel comfortable talking about race, gender, and culture.

Simply put, you will not know what your grade in Professor Griffin's class is until the semester is over. I'm not talking a few last minute assignments..... NOTHING was graded until after the course was over. She is not easy to access and weekly posts LENGTHY announcements excusing herself and exploring tangents, but can't find time to grade????

She is so kind and open to opinions. There are only two major papers during the semester so beware of that. There is a lot of reading but she chooses interesting articles. She is always available to give feedback if you are struggling. I'm taking another class with her next semester.

I am in week four of the semester. She posts assignments on Thursday and make them due Sunday. Granted she does provide a grace period for the following Tuesday, but what is the point of having a due date if you have a grace period?! As mentioned by others, she says a lot in her assignments. She is teaching it about Disney, so only positive.

Rachel is an amazing teacher. There's a lot of reading for the class and 5 pop quizzes. But she doesn't hide anything from you. There's 2 papers that you write for the class and that is majority of your grade, but just do your best and pay attention to the feedback given. She really wants her students to succeed.

Avoid Professor Griffin. She does not grade anything until the very end of the semester, consistently changes deadlines with little notice, posts unnecessarily long announcements on Canvas to excuse her inability to post assignments in a timely matter every week, and never responds to emails. Very frustrating and extremely unprofessional.

I took this class and thought for sure I was going to fail. I am not a strong writer, having Rachel available in office hours and email feedback was great! Be ready to read and respond! She will challenge you and is there to help with self-discovery and navigation through hard learning. I looked forward to the discussions weekly in the class.

Rachel posts so many irrelevant topics in her online announcements. There are weekly online engagements/dicussion forums each week. It was pretty managable, but lots of reading and watching documentaries. It's super frustrating that she hasn't graded anything this semester, so I have no idea how I'm doing in the class.
