She is the most amazing teacher! She is always available if you have questions. Her lectures are super interesting. Her tests are really easy and she goes over what exactly will be on them the day before. She will push back tests if she falls behind in lecture because she would rather us understand all the material and have class discussions.

Professor Griffin is super kind, especially if you show an interest in the class. There's four tests, one final exam, one 6-7 page term paper, and 2 small papers. The first test is super tough, so make sure you study! she'll find time to help you, even if she doesn't have office hours. Since my major is Psychology, I really want to take her again!

Gen is hilarious and down to earth. She has fun lectures and has lecture slides available to print to take notes on which is super helpful. Tests are kind of difficult, but she goes over what will be on them before hand. Only complaint is she says with this every couple of sentences and once you notice it itll get annoying. Great professor.

Professor Griffen is very kind and can be funny. Her class was extremely easy, and you have to try to get less than an A. If you need to fill out a class for your IGETC certification or just want to take a psych class i strongly recommend her, she definitely makes an attempt to keep her class interesting.

I took her class online and while she seems like a nice person, I found her to be unprofessional. Her test questions had so many grammatical/spelling errors that they were difficult to read, let alone answer confidently. Also, the recorded lectures were frustrating to listen to due to poor speech and using "like" and "um" between every other word.

She seems like a cool person & her lectures were always quite nice to listen to, but she falsely accused me of committing plagiarism & even threatened to put me on academic probation.
