Reviews of professor Sean Griffin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His syllabus states most students are use to easy grading, like his own children. He doesn't use a textbook, PDFs provided for reading first few weeks on Italian Mob. His book about the Black Mafia is required & watch a docu based on his book, that he is also in. He expects you'll read it 3x. Less than 1 min to answer test each question.

I think these other reviews are a bit tough. Tests are 45 mins for 60 questions, yes. But why should you need more than 3/4 a minute if you know the answer. The ppts are less lecture and more reading assistance. Do the reading, your life will be easier. No extra credit. No make ups. No room to be lazy. He curves sometimes 10+ points.

He is BY FAR the worst professor I have ever had. He is arrogant and very rude. He is so full of himself, its ridiculous. He doesn't teach you properly or give you recorded lectures to watch. He just expects you to read thousands of pages worth of information and read power points to pass exams! Try to avoid him if at all possible!!!

Absurd that I've taken two of his classes and both of the required textbooks were books he's written. Ego maniac. I'm constantly left wondering where the content is we have to study while his powerpoints are 10 short slides. 60 questions in 45 mins, all his tests are like that. I hope I never get stuck with him again.

Does not have a clear grading or expectation policy. Expects the students to only use in-class sources and will fail students' exams for bringing in other outside sources. Sources assigned are difficult to understand and are not ample in content covered. Professor is very opinionated in grading policy for assignments.

I've taken multiple courses with him, and the struggle is real!The provided Powerpoint materials mean little to nothing for exams, with little guidance or substantive lecture. Exam questions are Very ambiguous and/or misleading often being completely devoid of professor guidance. No reviews/Lazy in his approach to teaching and student development.

This professor is absolutely by far the worse professor that I have had in 4 years of me going to school. His exams are 100 plus questions however, he gives you 60 mins to take it. He draws all of his questions from the book that he wrote. He doesn't draw from other sources. He had us watch The God Father movie and asked about 2 questions from it.

I was really excited to take a class on organized crime. However, this class was based on a book the professor personally wrote but there were two quizzes; one based on the Godfather movie and another on a documentary. Did not cover any other groups of organized crime except the Black Mafia. Extremely disappointed with the course all together!
