Reviews of professor Matthew Griffin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Griffin was great for this course. He gave multiple extra credit opportunities throughout the semester and lecture was just listening to him teach and then doing a class activity. He was REALLY annoying about attendance. We had assigned seats and attendance was taken multiple times. The practice exams are very similar to the exams.

It's hard to fail Griffin's class with the amount of extra credit he gives out. He is a bit strict on attendance but that's because he cares about his students and wants them to actually learn the material that he's teaching. His lectures are pretty smooth for the most part. He uses slideshows for his lectures. Just go to class and you'll be fine.

THIS MAN IS OBESSED WITH ATTANDANCE. 
BE PREPARED TO LISTEN TO HIM COMPLAIN. 
The average lecture is 50% him complaining about students, 40% is class activity that is confusing bc you're in a 100 person lecture hall, and 10% confusing and brief explanations of course content (making the class activity impossible).

Professor Griffin is strict on attendance, which at first seemed annoying, but I really appreciate his efforts because I likely would not have gone if he wasn't, nor would I have gotten such a high grade. The practice exams are extremely helpful and he gives so many extra credit opportunities. I'm very happy I had him as my professor!!

People complain about mandatory attendance/participation & hw assignments. But Griffin's goal is having majority learn fundamentals of stats & R.  A lot of you would like typical approach- which would be WAY less work for Griffin- (lectures, little homework, no attendance checks, no review sessions, a few tests). Griffin won't take the easy route.

The class itself was easy but griffin made it an absolute pain. The content is easy enough(coming from an art major), but griffin is just disrespectful. He treats his students like kindergarteners, has assigned seats in a giant lecture hall, takes attendance twice each lecture, and is never available over email. Dont recommend, so frustrating.

STAT100 was an extremely easy class. Unfortunately, attendance is mandatory and there are assigned seats. Fortunately, there are so many opportunities to get a good grade. There are extra credit opportunities every class. AMPs hold review sessions for each exam. There are also practice tests posted for each exam that are exactly like the exam.
