Love this guy. Super funny and helpful-- in school & in personal struggles. Very approachable. Lots of reading-- but it's enjoyable and he adjusted it through the semester. Tests are kind of hard-- just go to the TA reviews-- he provides a good study guide. Really uplifting and the guy is like a church history encyclopedia!! Recommend!!

Brother Griffiths is an incredible professor. He is more than willing to help you when things get rough if you bring it up to him. There is a lot of reading for the class, but it is worth it to do, and you can skim it. Plus, all of the reading is online so you don't have to pay for it. Go to the test reviews and you will be able to ace all tests.

I can see why he is popular, but honestly I didn't like him. He puts a lot into the lectures and slides, but I don't think he's funny and he wasted time on things that don't matter much. He offered 3 extra credit opportunities but they were all in the first month. I found the amount of reading discouraging and many test questions were arbitrary.

I would die for Bro. Griffiths. His lectures are amazing and the tests were a breeze, all you really have to do is read the assigned readings (which can be a little long sometimes, but still manageable) and you should get an A no problem. Bro. Griffiths is absolutely hilarious and I genuinely enjoyed every single class.

Professor Griffiths is very nice, the content of the course just seemed incredibly basic. I took this course for fun, hoping to dive into the material, but we just skimmed the surface. There is a lot of discussion, which tends to drag on. If you want an easy A, take this class, but if you want to learn something, take it from someone else.

Bro. Griffiths is the most charismatic religion teacher I've had; he gives inspiring/funny lectures. I legitimately am sad when I have to miss class. Test content is from the slides and the readings. You grade yourself on attendance. If you go to class and do the readings you'll be fine. There are a few short essays throughout the semester.

Brother Griffiths is hilarious. And this class talks about a lot of important topics that aren't addressed in other classes or church situations. However, it's not really a "feel-good" religion class, where you leave feeling a strong Spirit and a strengthened testimony. It feels like another GE class, just with a religious topic.

Brother Griffiths is a nice guy but this class wasn't my favorite. Reading took me at least 90 minutes each week. Reading quizzes are straight forward though and tests aren't too bad if you study. He talks really fast and it can be difficult to differentiate between what is test material and what is just information in a random story.

I would say this is a good choice for a Foundations class, but I didn't love it. Lectures were long and PACKED with info. Often I wasn't sure what was important and what was just interesting. He talks really fast! Reading takes forever!! Tests were ok, not too hard, but not easy either. Study!! He's a nice guy, but this wasn't my favorite class.

Dr. Griffiths is great! He is always eager to talk with students outside of class time. There is a decent amount of reading, but I thought that the amount was more than fair for a 2 credit class; especially considering besides a short (leniently graded) paper and two easy experience papers, we only had a weekly quiz and three exams.

He did such a good job of discussing controversial topics in a respectful and kind matter. There is quite a bit of conference talk/scripture reading, but fair for a 2 credit class.

I have taken two classes from Casey. He's a good teacher who cares deeply for how his students come to perceive the gospel and history of the church. His tests are easily prepared for through TA reviews, class, and quizlets. He's hilarious and has sincere moments that tie lessons together.

Honestly only attended this class twice the whole semester. Prof Griffiths was a super easy grader and all of the tests/assignments were online. I personally didn't get much out of the class but it was an easy A so whatever

Professor Griffiths tries way too hard for a general that everyone needs to take. The tests are hard, going to the test review is necessary. He seems to be trying to get laughs more than trying to teach material. He moves fast and its very unclear which details are important and which are random factoids he finds interesting

Brother Griffiths is so engaging and articulate. He made discussions so interesting, and I better understood so many aspects of doctrine that I was struggling with a little bit. He also really tried to know everyone's names, and the review slides really gave you everything you need for tests.

This is my favorite religion teacher! He is not only very kind and smart, but also hilarious. His classes are very entertaining. There are a few assignments and papers you need to do for his classes, but the instructions are clear and it is easy to get points. I would very much recommended to anyone.

This was my last religion class because I heard it was hard, but he made it one of the easiest religion class I have taken. It was very inspirational and I did not have to stress about class the whole time. I could just listen and learn. Grading is clearly outlined and readings are not bad. I listened to all the readings. Very entertaining class!

Loved this class so much! He is a wonderful professor and makes class super engaging and a delight to attend. The readings really do prepare you for class and allow for you to better understand the lecture. Super entertaining and you can see how much he cares about his students and wants them to succeed. TA reviews before exams are super helpful!

TAKE FROM HIM. Seriously my favorite religion class of all time. Professor Griffiths knows so much and is so eager to share everything with the class! He is funny, engaging, and the worst part of the class is just the number of required readings for class and the quizzes. I would 100% take from him again. The tests are pretty straightforward too.

LOTS of assignments: before-class readings, enrichment papers, a final paper, and exams. One of the most time-consuming religion classes, but very worth it. His lectures are engaging and he is funny. TA reviews are useful, and exams are easy. His content makes me feel more prepared to be a good wife and mother and have a home full of the Spirit.

This class is very interesting and covers a lot of varied topics. The homework and major assignments are really easy, but there's a lot of assignments, so get ahead! He asks very good questions and will always answer any questions, so you will enjoy every lecture. However, the tests can be challenging, so review the material!

Brother Griffiths = goat. It's about growing your testimony rather than testing on memorization. If you do your readings the tests with be really easy. Amazing TA that actually would be willing to help you. I had no questions but if I did I know they would have helped. Brother Griffiths actually cares about students well being at BYU. Bless up

Really engaging and entertaining lectures but they had almost nothing to do with the tests. If you're an RM and know a lot about church history, you'll do great, but otherwise don't expect more than a B on any tests.

He is a very nice professor but we never stay on track during lectures and it just feels like the biggest waste of time to go and listen to him. The midterm and final are SO hard and they really shouldn't be because its just religion but surprise! you will suffer.

He is entertaining, with easy assignments and exams. Yet his church apologetics approach spends time answering esoteric questions, related to real concerns, but not the core issue. He uses rhetorical methods (like restating a student concern as a straw man for a laugh from the class) to play to those who think the church is not progressive enough
