Prof. Griffin is amazing. He cares a lot about his work and understands that not everyone loves literature. He's very engaging during lecture. Most of the grade is based on two papers and a final, but this could fluctuate. This class is perfect if you're not a talented writer but still like literature. I regret not taking the honors section.

In ENG10, Professor Griffin was more focused on sharing his passion for literature than giving grades or assignments. For this reason, it's quite easy to get an A, depending slightly on your TA. Perfect for those who enjoy exploring literature but don't feel a natural talent for essay writing. Just go to lecture and section.

Prof. Griffin is very nice and super passionate. The lectures have so much material in them, which can be confusing. The final was not difficult at all and was just to show off what we learned. The class was graded on section attendance, final, and 2 papers, but overall the class is not time-consuming and there is no homework. I recommend!

Lectures were SUPER long, boring, & PACKED w/ tiny words, which was super confusing to comprehend. Get ready to read 3 long novels, a lot of Sonnets, poems, etc. The gradebook consisted of 2 essays (1 short 1 long) & a take-home final exam (~3 hrs). My TA Olivia Bievenue was nice but v late in grading & never covered any lecture & reading material.

The expectations for our reading and writing were appropriate in difficulty, and our participation and work were evaluated fairly overall. However, with the two papers plus the take-home final exam, I think this class should fulfill writing requirements though it does not. My main critique is I found the dense lectures difficult to sit through.

He seems like a genuinely good, smart guy, but oh my god this class was WAY too much for introductory english. It's not even that it was hard, just SO intense and too much work. The final is literally the worst one I've taken in three years here (including ochem, biochem, etc.), basically made us write ~4 essays worth of content in 24 hours.
