The class was relatively easy and prof Griffin was very devoted and passionate about the subjects. We did have to read 3 books and write 3 papers, but they were honestly not awful and it was spread out enough. Will say the class was a bit unorganized so some assignments were confusing at times. Overall not a bad A2 req. class.

Professor is a good lecturer, but if you don't like English to begin with, this class can get very boring. Thankfully there are not too many assignments, but with the assignments you have, they are very abstract (which can be both a pro and a con). Only complaint is not knowing what our final was until a week before, I had to cram in the last week.

The final was diabolical. We didn't know what the final was until exactly a week before. I got an A+, but I worked so hard go get it. By no means was this an easy class. I had Henry Coburn as a TA and he was a tough grader. The rubric/ directions for the assignments were so unclear its crazy. GO TO LECTURE!!

I really liked the content of the class and Griffin is a pretty good lecturer. There were three required books and about 15 sonnets but it was only important to know them on the final. Some of the assignment instructions are unclear and the grading is very subjective so make sure you get to know your TA and ask them clarifying questions.

Grading policy was so unclear. Mixed gradings between TAs and never showed total grade. TAs graded the papers so harshly. After taking the final (that he told us about a few days before), I want to drop this class. Do not recommend. Worst class I've taken here (and I've gone through ochem). Avoid Griffin at all costs!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought this class was relatively easy until now. I had a great TA so I didn't have to worry about harsh grading, despite unclear directions. The final was not mentioned at all (even on syllabus) until 1 week before. It is unnecessarily difficult and specific. The lack of information and communication in this class has been extremely frustrating!

The slides aren't posted anywhere, so go to lecture. Professor Griffin seems and nice and was funny. You can tell he's passionate and tries to make his lectures more engaging. HOWEVER, instructions for all the assignments are so vague and unclear and my TA was a tough grader and lowk mean with feedback. The final is diabolical. not an easy-A course

horrible lectures that are very content dense. half the words given for the midterm were very briefly mentioned in lecture and are not even real literary devices. redundant points. awful in person final that is very content heavy and unnecessarily meticulous.

Lectures are somewhat boring but he's a great guy and very relatable. He tries his best to make his lectures interesting. Only downside are the slides aren't posted anywhere so you have to be in class to get the slides for the day. The slides are packed with information.

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.
