Evan is phenomenal. Had him both semesters of my freshman year, really great classes. Fun to learn from and hes really passionate. Great guy too.
Professor Griffin is one of the funniest professors Ive had at UC and he really cares about his students succeeding. The course is lecture heavy so its important to go to class, but the lectures are always pretty entertaining.
Evan is awesome and examples given throughout lectures are funny.
Evan is my favorite professor I've had at UC. I've taken 2 of his classes and both were challenging but definitely worth it. He lectures for most of his classes but he's very funny and cares a lot about knowing his students by name and seeing them succeed.
Loved this class. He is very understanding if you reach out to him. There is weekly quizzes and exams are important. Journals are also a big part of your grade but all work is easy if you come to class and be attentive.
By far my favorite class as well as my favorite professor I've had. Evan truly cares about your success inside and outside of his classroom. Love his personality and the way he teaches using the course packet. Exams do require you to know everything in the course packet, but as long as you take the time to study the information, exams are easy.
I would recommend everyone take intro to comm (comm 1076) with Evan!! The content is really important and relevant to everyone no matter the major, and Evan is just a good dude. The classes are lectures but are *actually* interesting. Class isnt too hard, but you do need to study for the exams. Wish Id taken this class sooner!!
Professor Griffin is a very understandable professor. He is very down to earth and overall a great guy!
If you can take any of his classes I definitely would
His classes are splendid if you pay attention and participate in the class activities that he organizes. He's got great knowledge in the field of study and is very patient to help us learn the require material thoroughly. Not only are his classes informational, they are fun and are unlike any typical classes that I have taken.
By far my favorite professor Ive ever had. He makes class so fun and so worth going to, and hes all around a great teacher and person. If you can take any of his classes, Id recommend you do so
Evan is one of the best professors Ive had in college though three years. He uses great examples and his course packet is specific and dives deep into what hes trying to teach. I would definitely take him again. An overall great human being as well.
Sweetest guy teacher I've ever had! Evan is so personable and his class is so intresting and the coursework is well organized.
Great Professor overall , one improvement would be to move the course to canvas
Best prof. Ive ever had. Great dude.
Very well structured class. All lectures were incredibly in-depth, and all the material needed to study for exams was readily available at all times. Professor Griffin is an outstanding person both in his personality and his knowledge.
Professor Evan, is really amazing professor he helps you open your eyes and see things in different ways. He is really motivated and entertaining. I enjoyed a lot of things friends I suggest you take Comm class with him because you all need that skills that you will use through out your life. There are 18 journals 3 exams and 12 quizzes.
I enjoyed Professor Griffin lectures, he epitomizes what I look for in a professor. He funny when he needs to, strict when it really matters, lends a listening ear to every student who needs assistance and he's a flexible individual.
I really enjoyed taking this class tbh. Prof. EVAN is a very humble guy and more than a professor. I wouldnt say this class is easy but it definitely gives you a life lesson that you can take it with you in the future.
Evan is one of a kind! It's clear from day 1 that he cares a ton. The best way to summarize his course is: fair. Very straight forward. No pop quizzes/surprises. Practical content. You're expected to know your stuff/pay attention, but *never* in an overwhelming way. Makes lots of jokes/tells funny stories in class. I've taken 4 courses with Evan!
Although you have to constantly be present in this class and read a lot, it is definitely worth it. I'm a freshman and this is the best course that I've taken yet. Evan's lectures are amazing and I got to learn a lot from it. If you're up for the work, I definitely recommend taking his class!
Evan is an amazing professor. He makes lots of jokes during class and makes the material enjoyable. At first, the amount of notes and reading can seem overwhelming, but once you start studying, you will realize that most of the content is straightforward. Doing the map questions were the only thing that was time consuming in his class.
This class is pretty interesting. It was really easy to relate everything that was taught to my own life so it became easier to learn terms and topics. You fill in all your notes on a pre-made notes packet which makes it super easy to know what to study. I always forgot about the online quizzes that were due once a week. That will kill your grade!
makes you to buy an online class using a 3rd party software specifically for quizzes which could have easily been free as a canvas quiz. The exam and multiple weekly writing assignments all are "based on my lecture" videos which are just him reading a pdf he already gave out word for word but filling in the blanks making watching it a necessity.
Evan Griffin is one of the best professors I've had at UC. He's so smart and genuinely cares about his students and their education. He posts his lectures to youtube so you can watch them on your own time, but I would definitely make sure you watch them and do the guided notes he gives you because that's the entirety of the exams.
Professor Griffin is a real gem, I promise. His class has granted me a completely different perspective on communication, and I find myself using the knowledge frequently. His stories and video lectures are hilarious. The class is characterized by lots of printable notes, which are pretty easy. The textbook was also a very interesting read.
He was a great teacher
Professor Griffin was an amazing teacher. I loved his course and if I could I would take it again. Thanks for everything and also your humor is great.
Great professor
Evans a really awesome guy and I really enjoyed being in his class. Hes not super hard and I think he makes it pretty fun
Lectures with guided notes was really nice. Not too much work
Professor Griffin was amazing this semester. I genuinely enjoyed his lectures and really learned a lot from him about myself, my peers, and my life. I definitely want to have him again in my time at college.
Prof Griffin was always a very engaging teacher and made a class that I assumed would be boring quite fun. He was definitely the best professor I've had when it came to seamlessly adapting to a fully online, async class. There is a clear plan from the start for each week, and you should have no trouble passing as long as you keep up each week.
I took this class 1st semester of my freshman year and it ended up being one of my favorites! He is a great professor who cares about the content that he is teaching, and it ultimately comes across the screen that way even as an asynchronous class. You can tell he cares. Lectures were very interesting and fun to watch, and the reading wasnt bad.
Prof Griffin made his lectures enjoyable to watch, rather than a chore. I never had any questions because his syllabus/semester plan was very clear, but if I had, I feel certain he would have been very responsive to emails and questions. I enjoyed this class so much more than I thought I would! Workload is not bad at all either.
Every journal entry and discussion assigned worked off the material we learned extremely well. The lectures were very eye-opening and kept me engaged. I would definitely have him again.
He was a great professor and I would take his class again!!
Prof Griffin was a great teacher, I really enjoyed his class. I wish I had him in person but because of the pandemic I had him online and asynchronous which made it much more difficult, but despite that, Prof Griffin still managed to be a great teacher.
Best teacher ever
there's a lot of lecture videos but he makes them pretty interesting and entertaining with his stories and how he ties in what we are learning with his past experiences . lots of journal entries but there not terrible.
Was a fun and entertaining course to be a part of.
pretty straight forward class just have to follow the lecture and take notes. Quiz is pretty easy each week just review the special reading areas of each part in the textbook for like 2 seconds.
Just a real caring guy!
Professor Griffin is amazing. The class was straightforward and not difficult. I learned so many useful things in this class and overall really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend.
Great teacher. Very caring
A real true gem of compassion, enthusiasm, and an educator that makes your want to know what's next in every lecture.
A lot of journal entries, but they are beneficial not only to your grade but they make you look deeper into yourself and your relationships. very manageable workload
Great instructor. There are a lot of lectures but he makes them funny and interesting. I definitely wish he were my instructor for other courses and he made my last semester of school enjoyable. Great way to end my college career.
Evan is seriously one of the nicest professors I've ever had. He genuinely cares about every one of his students and the material you learn in COMM1076 is super relevant and helpful. It's super easy, just take the notes as you go and the exams will be a breeze. 10/10 recommend. You will definitely get an A as long as you do the work.
Journal Entries and online quizzes are due every week, but if you can manage your time and remember due dates you'll be extremely successfull. Evan is extremely knowledgeable in what he talks about in class and it shows, not only that but you can tell her loves what he does. Which makes the class enjoyable to be in. Overall I have zero complaints.
Professor Griffin is a genuinely excellent professor! This class was great and I really enjoyed my time in it. He is very caring and entertaining and was somehow able to heavily convey both through video lectures. The lectures flew by, and he had really creative assignments. never a dull moment! I recommend this class heavily!
Pretty wise guy. Class is pretty beneficial. Would recommend.
great guy
Evan was a very chill, funny professor. Really enjoyed this class. Each lecture was accompanied by fill in the blank notes which made it super easy to follow along. We'd then use the notes and lectures to write journal entries every week. Some discussion boards, and online chapter quizzes for the textbook. Overall, the workload was very manageable.
Honestly the best professor I have ever had.
Great Professor!
Great teacher, wish classes could've been in person (I think we would've had great discussions in class) Lots of video lectures to watch but they're interseting so it's worth it
Prof. Griffin is so inspiring and the class was so amazing. I've learned so much. Work load is normal and the lectures are always entertaining. Truly one of the nicest person I've ever met. He really cares about his students and what he teaches about. I feel so lucky to have been able to take this course.
Lectures were really fun to watch. My girlfriend would sometimes be in the room and would also listen and laugh along with the jokes.
I learned many concepts that I can actually apply to my personal life and enjoyed it. Many interesting but not difficult journal entries, weekly quizzes on the online textbook. He's a very kind warm-hearted teacher and makes his lectures interesting and engaging. I really wish I had this class in person but COVID made it beyond everyone's control.
Professor Griffin is a great professor and really cares about the material and his students. He made lecture videos for us each week with a fill in the blank notes sheet to go along with each lecture and there was a quiz at the end of each week. I would definitely take a class with him again and recommend him to other students!
The professor is great. All the lectures were so entertaining and enjoyable. great conversations and so much to learn. I would take again 100 times if i could.
At least an hour and a half of lecture videos each week for the online asynchronous class.
Prof. Griffin's lectures were so interesting and interactive (even though they were online) that his class soon became my favorite. Professor Griffin truly cares about his students and if you do all the assignments you will do very well in the class. :) Journal entries make up most of your points and if you answer all the questions you will do well
Evan is the best Professor there is! His Comm1001 is very fun and easy if you pay attention to his lectures! He gives out course packets sheets that have all the information for his exams! Highly Recommend!
Hilarious and amazing teacher . I wish i had him in person and not online
I loved having him as a teacher. He was so fun about the material but also was very good at teaching it.
This was the best class I have ever taken. Even though I had to take this class online Professor Evan was still so funny, kind, and helpful. His lectures are so enjoyable and applicable. He is super organized and you always know what is expected of you. The exams are based only on specific fill-in-the-blank notes. PLEASE TAKE THIS CLASS!!
He really wants his students to not only learn the material but understand it and apply it to their own lives.
Evan is a great professor! He knows what he's talking about and is very engaging. This class was completely asynchronous, so all lectures were pre recorded.
Hands down the best class experience I've had at UC so far! Evan is the best!
This class has been so insightful and I have learned so much about myself and interpersonal communication. Even in an online class he managed to make it engaging. He genuinely cares for his students, is nice and passionate about what his is teaching. Could not recommend this class enough because it taught me skills that I will remember forever.
This was one of my favorite classes I have taken since attending UC. Evan is a great professor and just wants to see all his students succeed. I would love to take another class with Evan!
Really cool guy, enjoyed his stories and what he had to say about life.
Professor has done an outstanding job! Very kind and very funny. He knows very well what he is talking about. He provides great examples. I would listen to Uncle Evan for hours (You'll get to know this expression when you take the class, LOL)!!!!!! Great job and good luck out there.
He's a cool professor to talk to, he made the lectures easy to enjoy and very helpful
Was in his intro to interpersonal communication, such a great professor! Had him in an online asynchronous class but I wish I could have had him in person to build a real professor-student relationship with him! I'm sure he would be a great mentor for COMM students. The lectures have fill-in notes, and I learned a lot of cool stuff.
Prof Evan was great. His assignments were clear and straight forward do the work and you'll pass. Definitely take his class
He is such a great professor. He really cares about his students and does everything he can to better us as people. He gives useful information in the class that can be applied to our lives, but makes it easy to follow and understand. He is willing to talk to students and he did everything he could to help us succeed in his class through COVID.
He is amazing. Lectures are fun and informative! He really cares about his students!
Professor Griffins class is a cant miss opportunity, you learn so much about yourself and about connecting/communicating with the people who are and will be in your life. He handles the online format really well, providing follow along notes and videos that were easy to digest and enjoyable to watch. All around great guy, wish I had him in person
This was an unusual semester as this class was online due to COVID, however, Evan's lectures were just as engaging. The information in the course is very interesting and valuable information to all people. His pre-recorded lectures were so enjoyable to watch and he's very personable. You knew exactly what to expect as far as work/class structure.
Great class!
Best professor I have ever had.
Despite this semester being fully online and the class being async Prof. Griffin was one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures were amazing to listen and the content was interesting. The exams aren't difficult if you keep up with the lectures and notes and the journal entries really allow you to reflect and think about yourself. 10/10
Best professor ever! Watch lectures and take notes is all you need to do! Easy class but great information!
Really enjoyable professor. He loves to relate real life situations to the material he teaches and does a great job at it.
This was hands down my favorite class that I have taken in my 3 years at UC. Evan made the lectures so enjoyable and I found myself actively engaged even though it was online. He gives fill-in-the-blank notes so that you have all the materials that you need for the exams (they are open notes.) I can' wait to take another class with Evan.
Fantastic and entertaining class.
The lectures for this class were really great and enjoyable. Tells a lot of stories that relate to the topic being talking about. Overall a great professor. 10/10 would recommend!
Had one of his classes in during the pandemic, still felt like I was in a room with another human being.
By far one of the best professors I've had the honor to meet, always very helpful and understanding. Nothing but good fortune to him for the future.
I loved this class! Evan tells you at the beginning of the course that this class will change your life- and it did mine. There were so many valuable lessons I learned. You can use notes on all of your exams. I am so glad I took Intro to Interpersonal Communication.
By far the best professor I have ever taken! He is the most caring professor and teaches this class in such an engaging format.
Hes a great professor. His lectures are actual interesting
This class is like a semester of therapy in the best way. I feel like I learned a bunch about myself and how I communicate and have new tools in my toolbox to better myself! Definitely one of the most influential classes and professors I've had, my only regret is that I couldn't take it in person! I think that only would've made it better
Wonderful class. I always looked forward to his lectures. Everything was pretty straight-forward and I loved the stories he would tell during lecture. Definitely would recommend.
Great guy, really cares about his students. Was always the highlight of my week.
Prof. Evan Griffin knows his stuff. But more importantly, he has a way of sharing his knowledge in an easy to understand, very enjoyable online lecture style. The reading, homework and quizzes were fair and manageable. He is a inspiring professor. I wish more were like him! I really enjoyed taking his class.
Gives comprehensive and interactive lectures, even online.
Easily the best professor I've ever had during my time at UC. Evan is wonderful. Genuinely cares about the topics he covers and is endlessly entertaining in his lectures. Lectures in Interpersonal Communication feel less like a slog and more like a journey. Cannot recommend Evan enough. Wish I had him in person!
Uncle Evan was great. Even doing this virtually the class was engaging and you could tell he really cared about ensuring we walk away with information and not just a grade. The class is formatted to make sure you are focusing on learning and not just doing a whole bunch of assignments or trying to fail you tests.
Professor Griffin is hands down one of my favorite professors I have ever had. He's awesome and so personable! I wish I could have him for every class!
Very genuine and caring professor
Very in depth and engaging throughout all material. Loved taking a class with him and would definitely schedule one with him again. Exams were easy if you watched/showed up to lectures and all other assignments were mostly based around answering personal questions.
Evan is one of the coolest professors I've had so far. He is visibly very passionate about what he does and he genuinely loves his students. The material is very clear and the assignments are easy if you put in the effort to do the course packet notes. The only complaint I have is that he frequently rambles and class can sometimes feel very long.
One of, if not the best, professor on campus. Evan is extremely knowledge about what he teaches and loves it, and you can tell. He truly wants the best for all his students and wants his classes to change your life, which it did for me. Recommend this class to everyone. Journals & Quizzes due every week (easy), 3 exams that are all open note.
Glad I took this course.
I honestly dont think I have ever had such a good teacher. I am a freshman and all throughout high school I struggles to find teachers who kept me interested but professor griffins class is definitely a class that changed me for the better.
One of the best!
Very fun professor. Lots and lots of long lectures though
Literally the easiest class I have taken. All exams are open note and the assignments are not hard at all. The journal entries are super easy and pretty ask questions about you. Evan is the nicest and most caring professor. He wants everyone to pass and is super relaxed. I would take this class again if I could
A great professor gave me a lot of extensions and is very understanding.
Im only a first year but Evan was by far my favorite professor this semester. He is so caring and understanding. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and what he teaches. Also the content of this course is genuinely helpful and interesting so even though I had a problem with skipping class, I never actually wanted to skip this class.
Evan is such a gem!! He makes the classes fun and he loves going off on little tangents that are entertaining! All of the exams are solely based off of lectures so as long as you get the notes youre good to go!
Professor Evan Griffin is hands down one of the best professors I have had this semester. I liked his teaching so much that I will be taking more of his classes. This class changed the way I communicate with people. I have never missed a day of his class because I didn't want to miss out on his lectures.
Class is basically only lectures but you have fill-in-the blank notes to follow along. Professor makes it fun and interesting while giving you actual, useful life advice. Not too heavy of a workload but you will need to make time for it, no late assignments are accepted. This course is pretty easy and enjoyable if you actually put the effort.
Evan was one of the best professors Ive had here at UC. Made learning about communication very fun and he was all around and outstanding teacher!
Professor Evan Griffin was pretty chill and easy going. Attending class is necessary, and the lectures are great. He is a man who's a good mentor inside and outside of class. I wish I interacted more with him.
Prof Griffin is by far the best professor at UC. As a pre-health student, this class was a great break from all the science courses and the material covered is so applicable to life. This course should be mandatory for all students! Easy A, Great Professor, and Useful Material!
I really wish I had this professor in person , I swear his lectures are the only lectures I actually get excited to attend. His sense of humor, amazing personality and his story's makes everything so much more fun.
Evan was one of the best professors I have ever had. His class is very interesting and you will not want to miss the lectures. He is hilarious and uses real world examples for every situation. I got a lot out of it and the class isn't too stressful. Definitely my favorite class so far.
Evan is a one-of-a-kind professor. You can tell how much he cares about the topic he lectures about and makes it engaging for the class. If you actually pay attention in class, the information shared is invaluable and will carry through your life. Don't skip his last lecture either.
Easily the best online class I have taken. He gives you course packets that are super helpful & easy to follow along. All exams are open note & if you watch the lectures you pretty much have all the answers. Ive never met him in person but he seems so sweet, funny & caring. I loved this class, he gives great life advice. I actually enjoyed learning
Great professor with the best life advices
At first, I didn't understand why everyone was recommending Prof Evan. G however, now I understand why. I am professional who's attending school and I thought my cup was full coming into this class, but I was wrong. Prof Evan is the most flexible, fun, knowledgeable and kind person I'eve had the pleasure to work with. I've learned so much from him!
Lectures are easy to follow along with in the course packet, all exams are done outside of class and open-note, really nice professor, learned a lot
Love him
Proffesor Griffin is one of the greatest and most dedicated teachers I have ever had the privledge of learning from. Having a teacher who is so dedicated and passionate about their work was very refreshing, and is just one of the many reasons this was my favorite class I had this semester.
Was always interesting to listen to and gave some very good life advice
Okay. If you have the chance to take a class from Mr. Griffin, DO IT!!!! He is the literal best teacher on this campus. At first his lectures bored me, but as time went on, I began to realize how much this man cared about his students and how badly he wanted us to go into the world with a changed brain and heart. TAKE HIS CLASS PLEASE! Also easy!
Evan has been the best professor I have ever had by far. His lectures are very entertaining and he cares about his students a ton. The content of the class is life-changing. It is super interesting stuff. The course itself isn't too hard, you just have to do the work. But yeah Evan is a quality professor that a ton of students respect.
Evan is such an amazing human being and is so caring towards his students. He has a passion for his work that pours through into his teaching, and it is very hard to not be inspired while taking this class. Very glad I had him as a professor (:
I love Evan! He was very understanding and responded very quickly to any question you might have. His instructions were very clear and his lectures were engaging and interesting. His guided notes helped so much!!
Professor Griffin is amazing at what he does. He made the online lectures actually feel like they were in person and his lectures were always interesting. If you follow directions and submit your assignments on time, this class should be an easy A for you.
Fun class learned alot.
A great class, I highly recommend to anyone considering! The lectures are very engaging and fun. There is value & intention woven into everything in this class. I have no doubt that I will use a lot of the information shared in the lectures in my day-to-day life!
Professor Griffin is a caring and funny man who wants his students to grow and develop as individuals. The lectures were easy to follow, and always relevant to the course material. If I could rate Professor Griffin above a 5, I would. Pay attention and do your assignments, and this class can be life changing!
Evan genuinely cares about his students and want them to succeed in class and also in life. The lectures are fun and easy to understand. If you do the work, you will do well in this class. The journals are not difficult and a great way to apply materials learned from the lectures. Over all I really enjoyed this class a lot!
Are you a freshman or sophomore? Register for this class now, most important and perinate information in your life.
Best professor I've had so far. Great lectures. Sometimes they can be long but as long you watch them and take notes the class is incredibly easy. You can tell he really cares about the class and puts a lot of effort into his class. If you have the chance definitely take his class.
Awesome professor! You can tell he really cares about what hes teaching. Great orator and easy to listen to/understand lectures. Questions on exams are clearly stated, no confusion or ability to interpret multiple ways. And attendance is taken for participation credit.
Cool dude. Hes got lots of good stuff to say.
This was such an amazing class to take; every class, Evan shows he is passionate about the material he is teaching and wants us to know that he cares. The workload is manageable if you handle it accordingly. Every class was fun, which made up for mandatory attendance. 10/10 would recommend!
By far my favorite professor and class I've had! Evan is an amazing professor and it is clearly evident that he cares about his students. The video lectures are fun to watch and I looked forward to them each week. If you see him available on catalyst, schedule his class immediately!
If you need a teacher that is very encouraging and up beat, than this professor is for you. Every email I read it put a smile on my face, and he was very helpful if you needed help with an assignment. He is also very understand when it comes to having things outside of class.
I enjoyed this class so much! I wish I had taken this class in my 20s so I could have had this information earlier! You can tell he is interested in teaching the material and making sure you know how important it will be to apply it in your life. He is funny and keeps the course fun just by being himself. I hope to have Evan for future classes.
Evan is such a great professor and friend. He genuinely cares about his students and loves people right where they are. I absolutely love this class! Highly recommend!
This class was an online course for me and was well organized. Each week you had lectures videos to watch with a course packet to fill out (lectures videos were not boring!). Would have discussion boards or journal entries for homework and they were not too difficult. You would also have a MindTap quiz each week, which was an easy 10 points!
The material was covered clearly and precisely. Being asynchronous, it was very easy to navigate & do the course work each week and work ahead of time. The professor discussed materials with lots of examples and in heavy details to allow students to have a clear understanding. The professor is encouraging and uplifting towards his students.
A really wholesome man who loves the material he teaches, was an amazing class to take
Evan is the greatest professor I've ever had. His lectures are interesting and often feel like a mini TED Talk. A lot of information is covered in class, but he is great at using analogies and acronyms to help with remembering all of that info. I have already recommended that my friends take his course rather than the same course taught by others.
By far the best class I've ever taken. I didn't even take it for credit. I had heard so many good things from friends, and boy were they right! Evan Griffin is good at what he does, he cares a whole lot about his students and his lectures will certainly challenge you and the way you're living for the better. Take his class you won't regret it!
Great professor, communicates well with the class, funny and caring personality.
BEST PROF EVER!!!! I had Evan for interpersonal and liked him so much that I took his intro to comm theory as well. He is so passionate and wants students to succeed. He makes lectures super interesting and exciting. There is always a story he tells that goes along with the course material. If you are interested in comm TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!
I took this course as an online course and I loved it. If I wish I would've take it in person, he is an amazing professor. I was so engaged and excited for video lectures too (that should tell you how amazing his teaching is). He is amazing and teaches you so much valuable information that you can and WILL use in your life! Highly recommend!
Workload is a decent amount but not overwhelming. He is a great professor; he cares for his students and his lectures are amazing and funny.
Evan is seriously one of the best professors I have ever had. I went into this class taking it as a filler for credit hours and took away so much more than that. He loves to teach what he does and loves every student while doing it. The coursework itself is also very easy. If you choose him as a professor you will not regret it one bit!
12/10. Loved Prof Griffin. His lectures were a weekly source of serotonin, and I looked forward to his assignments every week. Will def be taking his other courses in the future.
Very protective, professional and a gentleman.
I wish he taught all of my classes. He makes people want to participate with the way he talks and the way he sets of his course. THANK YOU EVAN!
Professor Griffin gives a lot of great life advice while also teaching course content in a very understandable way.
An extremely knowledgeable and passionate professor. Full of memorable, impactful, and hilarious stories. The class was more than just a course, it taught me some critical interpersonal skills and concepts that have already improved my life more than rote memorization can. I plan on taking more courses with this professor.
A great guy teaching a widely applicable class. If you consider the content in the context of your personal life, then it can be very generally valuable!
AMAZING class and professor!!
Amazing professor!!! He is so kind and cares about every single one of his students. Just attend class and you will get an A if you pay attention and take all the notes!
Evan is a very great professor. His lectures aren't too mind-numbing and his personal stories can be amusing. There is a course packet that accompanies the lectures with fill-in-the-blanks. The packet is to be referenced on the open-note exams. The assignments throughout the course are frequent but easy to get good grades on.
Evan Griffin makes lecture exciting, informative, and simple. Time and time again he has proven that he cares for every single one of his students and makes class work as easy as possible to make everything clear and accessible for as many people as he can. Also shares hilarious and enticing stories.
One of my favorite professors he did a great job of teaching the material
super nice, good teacher
he is a very good and kind prof
Professor Griffin was easy to talk to and made it known that he cared about all of his students. The stories that he shared with us were engaging and memorable. Overall a great class and a great teacher.
TAKE EVAN ONCE! I suggest anyone during their time at UC to take at least once of Evan's courses. He is one of the most inspiring & caring professors on campus and generates an amazing class environment. He truly does care and almost all of the work is incredibly easy; it's more about learning and ensuring you can apply the material to your life.
Professor Griffin makes interpersonal communication actually interesting to a person that is not even majoring in communication. He tells stories that relate to the content and help to better understand what he is teaching. I highly recommend taking one of his classes.
I highly recommend Professor Griffin. He is passionate about what he does and it shows. His public speaking skills make class time entertaining and help to solidify the material. This is an amazing course and Mr. griffin gives you all of the tools you need to dive into the expansive and intricate world of Nonverbal communication.
Professor Griffin is a highly intelligent, inspirational, and caring mentor. He truly knows how to teach skills that will not just help students in their college endeavors, but in life as well. His lectures are full of meaningful content, as well as his own experiences and teachings. I really hope to be able to have him as a teacher again.
Amazing professor, he has inspired me by the methods of his teaching, I hope to have him again in my later communication courses. His lectures are really one of the best and I love attending his classes. I highly recommend taking his classes.
Professor Griffin is probably one of the most influential people I've met. He cares about his students beyond just the grade they receive, he wants you to take what you learn from his class and apply it to the real world and better yourself. Every time I watched one of his lectures It was like a breath of fresh air from everything around me.
I really loved taking Evan's class. He is approachable and he really cares about the success of his students. His lessons were inspiring and can be applied to everyday life. If you can, I would definitely recommend taking one of Evan's classes.
Very funny and made lecture videos less boring. work is easy too!
Evan is one of the best professors I have had in my 4 years at UC. He makes lectures really fun. You are allowed up to 3 absences in the semester before it starts affecting your grade. You definitely need the textbook because the quizzes are based off the textbook.
Evan is my favorite professor. I had him for nonverbal communication. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Pretty easy grader, and the schedule is the same almost every week, so you know what to expect. He's super funny so his lectures are always engaging.
The exams are hard but the material is extremely useful
Professor Griffin was an amazing professor. We learned useful material, and he makes the material interesting and tells engaging stories. He seems like he also cares about all of his students. Mostly all classes are lectures and guided notes, but they aren't boring. The workload is fair and we have plenty of time to complete assignments.
If you are interested in taking any COMM course PLEASE take Intro to Interpersonal Communications or Nonverbal Communications with this professor! His lectures are amazing & he is the sole reason I decided to major in Communications. Attendance is required, but it is 110% worth it. He uses course packets for notes & keeps his students laughing.
Prof. Evan is a dynamic, charismatic, and interactive professor. He maintains your attention, and makes the class go by in a flash. The content he teaches is applicable in real life situations, and truly is useful if you apply it. He is willing to offer support, and helps you navigate how to apply what you've learned to any situation. 10/10.
Overall good professor
Professor Griffin was a great professor to have, and I would definitely take his higher-level communication classes if able to!
Evan Griffin is one of the best professors at UC. He is an inspiration to me, very caring, and has a great sense of sarcasm and humor! Cannot wait to have him in the future.
The best Professor in the world. Very inspiring and will never miss his class for anything. Amazing charisma and passion in his teaching. Also very caring and respectful.
Hands down the best professor I've ever had at UC. I looked forward to coming to his class every single time. He is very personable and inspirational. I tell every person I meet to take a comm class with Evan Griffin before you graduate. He will change your life.
One of the most amazing professors I have met in my whole life.
Extremely nice professor, gave awesome advise, and is one of the few professors that show they care even on recorded lectures
The best college professor I've had so far!
He genuinely cares about his students and their success, gives great lectures and is an overall great professor.
I could not speak more highly of a professor-Wants his students to succeed. His lectures are enjoyable,coming from someone who tends to ignore online lectures. I listened to each word in his lectures and was able to apply them to many aspects of my life outside of school. He has amazing words of wisdom, does not give busy work and grades fairly.
Great stuff in the lectures. Class is definitely a load heavy class at sometimes but a fun experience if you don't get overloaded.
Best professor I've had in the past 4 years at UC. Take him if you get the chance!!
Great professor, super funny, always kind and smiling, respectful to everyone, amazing person.
I loved Evan Griffin. He inspires his students to want to do great things with the information he teaches them. One of the best professors I've ever had.
Amazing professor. That's all I need to say lol!
Absolute best professor! The video lectures are very fun and he made them very easy to follow. If you watch them and fill out the notes that go along with them this class is an easy A. Would 100% recommend and will hopefully take in the future if offered!
This is the second class I have taken with Professor Griffin and I absolutely love him. You can tell he cares about all of his subject matter and his students and truly wants everyone to succeed!
Need to watch all video lectures to do well on quizzes bc he oddly refers to himself as in the exams and directly uses things from lectures
Griffin's lectures will surely brighten your day, as he is hilarious and cares about each of his students' well-being and academic success.
I have had Evan Griffin for 3 semesters and quite frankly, I am disappointed I can't take another one with him. His lectures are like none other and he offers some great advice to his students about life. He knows how to keep you engaged and interested, and his course lecture packet makes everything so much easier to follow and understand. 11/10.
Nothing else can really be said besides I really appreciate the course load he gave me. He was very charismatic and a pleasure to listen to.
One of my favorite professors I have ever had. Lectures were so enjoyable b/c of his enthusiasm. Very accommodating if I needed an extension on an assignment. The exams are entirely based on the fill in the blank lecture notes he provides and you will struggle on exams if you don't complete notes. He rocks!
HE is awesome I had him 2 classes this semester and it was great! if you don't plan to consistently show up to class DON'T sign up for this class (as someone who suffered the consequence of this choice). HE works hard on lectures and expects you to be there. He's nice fair and caring 10/10 reccommend.
I didn't mind this professor. Most of his classes are lectures where you fill in his guided notes. He has a big attendance policy where if you miss five of his class he drops your grade. All of his quizzes and exams are online and you take them at home, on your own time. There isn't much talking for a communications class besides a small project.
He was a super great teacher! Take him if you can!
Great professor. You get around 4-5 assignments every week and have a week to do most of them. Lecture videos were entertaining and easy to follow along with fill in notes. Highly recommend this course, he sets you up for success.
He was overall a fantastic professor, especially for my very first semester at college. He had valuable lectures and made them fun to be apart of as well as life lessons to take away not just fro class but for life in general.
I took this class online, and it was very easy. You just need to make sure you keep up with the lecture videos or else it'll pile up. Tests are online and open note. Evan was very friendly and showed he cares about his students and their well-being. The course covered some interesting topics too. Overall, would take again, easy A.
i took an online class with professor Evan and he has been the greatest professor I've ever had. Not only are his lectures interesting and helpful, but he also cares deeply about his students and wants them to pass the class. I highly recommend having him as a professor.
G.O.A.T.
good class
One of the greatest prof's I've ever had. His lectures were interesting. My favorite class of the semester. Decent workload and some reading. I highly recommend Prof Griffin for any comm classes!
He's pretty cool, gave some funny lectures and good advice.
Professor Evan (a.k.a Uncle Evan) is a great professor. I enjoyed watching his videos and listening to the many stories that he told. He really wants to help his students to understand the material by using humor, acronyms, and other ways to keep us engaged.
Professor Griffin really cares. The content is not only easy to grasp, but you care because he cares. Notes are fill in the blank, exams are open note, and quizzes are based on textbook readings. Overall, everything is super manageable if you keep up with the modules every week. I wish all of my comm classes could be like this!
Amazing class and professor!
It's rare to find a professor who cares as much as Evan. He is passionate about what he does and it is obvious. He shares relevant life stories and is funny and personable. He is knowledgeable on the subject and makes this class one of my favorites. I would 100% recommend this class.
He was very understanding. When I would contact him for help he would make sure I would know everything that was needed to be successful. He mad sure he covered everything in the lectures that would be on the exams, and he would break down the concept for it to be better understood. He cares about your success and academic career.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the material related to me personally and allowed me to have some self-reflection in the process. The classwork was manageable and I enjoyed how it kept to an easy-to-follow schedule. Professor Griffin's lectures were entertaining and useful, plus I enjoyed it when his cat made a guest star appearance.
amazing lecturer.
Seriously the best professor I've ever had ! Take him if you can. This is one of the only classes I've taken where things in the classes really felt like they related to me. He seriously is the best and I have taken away so much from this course and prof!!
Professor Evan was a great one to have, he clearly cares very much about his students and is passionate about interpersonal communication. He emphasizes how the material taught in class applies to real life. Take a class with Professor Evan if you can. It's easy to get a good grade if you keep up with lectures and don't miss more than 5 classes.
Evan is the GOAT. Lectures are easy to understand and homework is frequent but straight forward. The class is an easy A as long as you get the work done. I would highly recommend professor Griffin.
He was an amazing professor to have as a first year student! He is so funny and takes time with the lectures so that you understand what is going on. I always enjoyed going to class. Would definitely take again in the future!!!
I loved having Evan as a professor. He is super engaging and although my class was at 9 a.m, I never found it difficult to pay attention. This course taught me tools I use daily, and recommend it to everyone. Beware, Evan uses a lot of examples from his own life, so you will know his entire life story by the end of the class and it gets redundant.
Gives a course book that is your survival guide for class, all exams are open note and refer to the course book.
Evan Griffin has been my favorite professor so far. I've taken two of his classes, and I've enjoyed both. 3 open note exams a semester straight from the lectures, and a few homework assignments due weekly. Evan is funny and you can tell he cares about his students. COMM 3007 is a boring class, but Evan always makes it doable. Definitely take him!
I took Evan for COMM 1076 and the class was very easy. There is an online textbook with a 20 question quiz and a video with 3 questions due every week. There were lecture videos and a guided note packet for each week as well. You NEED to watch the lecture videos and take the notes, the module tests are often word for word from the note packets.
He is just the best! Take him!!
He was very caring and eager to teach us.
He is one of the best professors you can ask for and I would recommend that everyone take at least one of his classes.
Evan has by far been the best prof I've had in college so far. His lectures are meaningful and will teach you so much about life. There are 2 book assignments due weekly along with some journal entries and discussion boards. The tests are open note. Take his class you won't regret it! Hoping to take his in person class eventually too.
I took an async section of COMM1076 and absolutely loved it. He is the best lecturer I have had in college so far and is always both fun and insightful. He grades extremely quickly and provides actual feedback. The assignments are very well written (I don't think I found a single error). Exams are stress free. Overall, awesome professor.
100% a great professor, I would take him again any time
Evan was the best!! If you have the opportunity to take one of his classes definitely do!! I took this as an elective so my grade was definitely a reflection of me putting things on the back burner, but this class gave me really helpful life tools!
Very engaging, cognitive, aware, and caring. Lectures grabbed and kept my attention. Very insightful on the subjects he taught me and made sure to be as clear and understanding as possible. Overall, I really enjoyed and appreciated the class and my professor.
Great Professor - Very passionate about the subject and clearly cares about all his students, big dad vibes. Lectures according to a course packet and you basically just fill in the blanks. All quizzes are online and open note from an online textbook and exams are open note from the packet. 1-2 Discussion posts a week, but they are pretty easy.
Evan was quite frankly amazing during my online COM1076 course. His lectures are Education but still will make you smile just with his cheerful way of conveying all the information. Super understanding and honestly just awesome person and professor
I want other students to know that this class was amazing and Evan is a professor that I will miss. His lectures were always very funny and memorable, and overall he is an outstanding teacher. I took this class online, and truthfully I would've loved to take it in person.
Professor Griffin has been my favorite professor throughout college and perhaps among the best of any teachers I have ever had. It is clear that Evan wants his students to do well and succeed, but even more important that he wants his students to really take something from the course that will help them navigate real life situations later in life.
I could not say a bad thing about Evan! He always came to class in a positive mood and cares so much for each student. He is definitely a professor that I will remember for the rest of my life due to being so inspirational and uplifting. Could not recommended a better prof for this course.
Great guy. Good balance of homework. Entertaining lectures.
Professor Griffin is great - good vibes. He cares about his students. We are allowed five misses during the course, and participation is expected - Online assignments (engaging) - Lectures - We had a packet we followed along in -Exams were easy if you pay attention. I will always recommend Prof. Griffin he wants us to be better and enjoy his class!
Evan is an amazing professor. The content is so interesting and the class is set up very well. I was nervous to take it online, but everything is laid out so nicely and as long as you stay on top week to week, you will do amazing in this class.
The sweetest professor ever! He posts lecture videos each week and they are so fun to watch as he is so funny and keeps you interested throughout!
Easy class, assignment and discussion heavy, the professor is very easy going and understanding.
I have had this professor 2 times in my college career and I have had an amazing time in both classes. He is very personable, funny, and wants you to learn. If you ever have the time, take a class with him, it might change your entire perspective on communication.
I took his class online, and he was still incredibly engaging through video lectures! It was evident that he cared about the content as well as his students.
My first communications class was very beneficial. The instructor explains concepts clearly, uses humor to engage us, and shares great stories. Homework is easy, and the open-note exams are based solely on class notes, making it a manageable class as long as you keep up with the notes during class.
Uncle Evan was SO great. this class was incredibly easy, and although i only took the class for credit, i definitely know that i will be using some of this information later in life. all exam questions are based off the guided notes, so as long as u do those, its like a guaranteed A.
I was always told that the professor impacts A LOT on how you perform. They weren't lying because Evan is the best professor I had this semester. He's so good, that I was tempted to take his class again, even after passing because the coursework had me engaged, especially the journal entries. I even ran into him at Blink Cincinnati. Take him!!!
Interpersonal Communicaiton's with Evan Griffin was the best class I have ever taken. Evan Griffin cares for his students a lot. He is fair in his grading, if you keep up on lectures and notes you will be okay. But the content and material in this course was so valuable and it is content I will cherish the rest of my life.
Best profesor I have had and i appreciate him and knowing the amounts of thing i learned from him and is something that has helped me grow even more!!
Makes the notes easy. Has good material to learn. Doesn't try to take everything so seriously but is also understanding.
Very good attitude and very understanding. He really cares about his students.
Evan Griffin is my favorite professor I have ever taken. He uses a fill in the blank notes format which almost forces you to pay attention, which I found very helpful. However, it's not hard to pay attention to his lectures b/c of how passionate & energetic he is. He really cares about his students & I cannot recommend him enough!
Evan Griffin was one of the most inspirational and empowering professors I have ever met. He encouraged our strengths and engaged in our weaknesses. I left knowing how to be a better person for not only myself but everyone else around me. He was just a guy who wanted to make an impact and I want him to know it worked. Loved him and the class!
Professor was really energetic, helpful, and comppassionate.
Amazing professor! He is very engaging, and his content is super useful. Always put a smile on my face watching his recorded lectures.
I only had his class online (unfortunately) but this dude is awesome! You really have to take notes and pay attention to his video lectures to be successful, but that's no big deal when they're so much fun to listen to! I really liked his class and hearing all his anecdotes. Very fun guy all-around and he makes me wish I took this class in-person!
Evan is a great professor, cares a lot about his students and makes lectures fun. Work is not too bad, just have to keep up with the week to week assignments
I LOVE UNCLE EVAN !!!!
HE IS AN AWESOME PROFESSOR! You have to make sure to keep up with lectures and follow along. Also, he is pretty understanding with absences, just make sure it's not too much. Pretty hilarious as well so that's a bonus.
I am beyond grateful for Professor Griffin and the incredible impact he's had on my academic career. He has an amazing ability to make the concepts feel approachable and interesting, even in an online format. I learned life skills I know will stay with me long after I graduate. He made learning a truly positive and transformative experience.
His lectures are amazing and most of the homework are journal assignments which reinforce and apply the lectures in real life. If you keep up on the assignments and actually fill out his note packets then the 3 exams are the easiest you'll ever take. I highly recommend this professor.
The professor was so fun and made the lectures interesting and applicable to life. It was an online course. Highly recommend him as a professor the assignments weren't difficult and easy to keep up with. Amazing down to earth professor who cares about his students!
I really enjoyed this course & found it engaging based on the way he presents the material. He is very in tune with his students & communicates frequently. The course is self explanatory if you follow lecture,take the appropriate notes & do the assignments on time. He makes a point to connect with students & ensure he is teaching in a creative way.
Best professor I've had at UC so far. cares about the people taking his class.
INCREDIBLE professor! I sincerely wish I took his class in person. You follow along with his lectures with guided notes. There are textbook readings with quizzes based on them, 3 exams based on the lectures, and 1-3 journal entries or discussion posts per week. Lectures are very engaging, and journal assignments are insightful. TAKE EVAN'S CLASS!
He gives engaging online lectures and is super nice.
He sincerely cares about his students and is so charismatic that I really enjoyed his class
Evan Griffins is far by the greatest professor in the world, truly inspirational in his knowledge and teaching in the realm of communication, would never skip his class for a thing.
I love this professor! He is a great teacher who conveys that he truly cares about his students with his in-depth video lectures. He always says "Love you all.. get out" at the end of each lecture or announcement he writes. He also grades lightly as long as you attempt the assignments and demonstrate that you actually watched the video lectures.
He's not only hilarious, but great at his job. ...like he actually likes teaching? I know. Crazy.
Would take this exact course again if I could lol
totally would recommend
He is so sweet and really cares about his students. I'm so sad the semester is over and look forward to taking another one of his classes again.
Genuinely cares about his students and teaches life changing material if you lean in. Take it in person if you choose to, he's the best!
so nice and as long as you attend class and pay attention there is no reason not to get a good grade!
Evan is great! The class is definitely lecture-heavy, but he finds ways to make it entertaining and engaging. The whole class is done through guided notes, where you fill in the blanks in the notes as he talks during the lecture. The lecture will occasionally break so you can talk to a person near you about the principle you learned. Exams are easy
I truly believe that Professor Evan is one of the best teachers at this University. He is so kind and was one of the only professors I've had that made me WANT to come to class everyday. From his amazing life lessons, to his hilarious stories, you leave that class in a better mood then before it started.
The teaching style is amazing, Evan Griffin has become my favorite professor at UC and the class has resulted in me feeling more confident in myself. The material is very easy to understand but I recommend going to every class, attendance matters but also the content is easier to understand in-person.
This professor taught my class most often through lecturing. There were opportunities to discuss topics with the whole class and "conversational labs," which were guided interactions with one or two peers. He covered material repeatedly throughout the lecture and then once more in the class period before our exams. Exams were open note and online.
The professor showed strong professional abilities, teaching with clarity and organization. Their explanations were easy to follow, and they used practical examples that made the material understandable and relevant. Their teaching style was inspirational, which created a comfortable learning environment and helped me stay connected to the content.
The instructor was clear, engaging, and highly effective at explaining the material. His teaching style made concepts easy to understand and apply. He created a supportive environment and communicated the content in a relatable, meaningful way. I really appreciated his lecture note handouts.
online class, nothing can be turned in late which is fine but just be careful bc it heavily affects your grade. super kind and lectures are engaging there's just a lot a lot of notes.
Prof Griffin was amazing. Really enjoyed this class. One thing I will say is every lecture is something new. You will never feel like it's the same things every time. And his conversation lab times are good as well. Overall work wise it's pretty simple and straightforward, the only way one could possible fail is if they miss the lectures.
Professor Griffin is an incredible professor, and you can really tell he cares about all of his students. He makes listening and learning as easy as it will ever be.
An amazing professor, He tells great stories and really helps you understand the content.
Greatest Professor of all time, I dont think there can be a better professor that Evan in Communication! He knows everything in his mind, and explains flawlessly. Just a privilege to be part of his class.
Great professor and great class. Had him for comm 005 and he had notes to fill out for every lecture which made learning the material so much easier. There was a online textbook and a quiz that followed for each chapter but it was fine. He was also friendly and fun which made everything else more fun. Overall 10/10 would take again if I could.
Extraordinary lectures, hilarious, get ready to take lots of notes. You would look forward to his class everyday!
One of my favorite classes taken. He gives so many opportunities for points. He is so funny too. Really easy to learn from. All exams are open note too.
