Great! Explains material & prepares you for exams. Check out website tgriffin.pageout.net ~ he answers e-mails right away. Tests come from homework and practice tests, so study them & class notes to score high on tests. Extra credit opportunities. Makes class interesting & enjoyable.

Although he is a very easy grader, he is totally ADHD. If you attend class and do the work, you will do well. Everything is open book, including exams. However if you need lots of structure and prefer traditional lecture, notes and memorization, expect to leave every class with a headache because his classes are total chaos.

Fair professor. He lets you sustitute your quizzes for your exams or vice versa. So you have the opportunity to make the better of the two grades. He's not strict on handing in homework as long as you hand it in. He does have ADD and wanders off the subject sometimes, but will help if needed!

Easy A all you have to due is show up complete all assignments and do well on all quizzes. You will never have to take a test it would be your "test holiday". The only thing nothing he goes over in class is on the quiz and he doesn't look at the quiz before giving it to the students. So study and by the way it's always open note and book quizzez.

I took Managerial & Financial Accounting with Griffin and found him to be very fair and helpful. The class material is difficult, so don't expect an easy class. He has however, setup the class so that if you attend everyday you'll do well. The group exercises and quizzes will help boost your grade when you fall behind. Overall excellent Instructor.

He was a little TOO laid back. He didn't stick to his own policies which is frustrating if you're someone who turns in your work on time and works hard. Didn't answer questions in a straight forward way and tended to leave the class for long periods of time for no reason. Overall, I would say stay on top of your work in his class to do well.

He doesn't teach much in class, you would be better off reading the book on your own. Be sure to pick a good team on the group activities since those could really mess up your grade. He came off extreamly rude and seemed like he could care less about helping his students.

This class is not easy. He is somewhat helpful but leaves the answers to open ended, never gives a straight answer. Do not miss a class because that can drop your grade from A to B (like me). His "extra-credit" doesn't even cover one in class missed assignment. Do the work and expect trick questions on the test. Good Luck !!!

Mr. Griffin is a great professor, who knows accounting very well. If you miss a call, then you're out a group-assignment grade, and I think that's fair. If you ask the right questions, he will go into depth. Otherwise he expects you to know your homework and speak up as needed. Tests are xtra credit which is great. I'll be taking him for managerial

He uses 7 measure for grading (3 tests, team projects, HW, Final, Acct. cycle problem, but only takes the highest 5. Each measure is worth 200 points. If you apply yourself, take good notes, and use his slides you should do fine on quizzes. 2 quizzes can replace one test grade. Doing the HW helped tremendously (easy 200 points).

Griffin is such a great professor, this was my hardest class I had to take for my Major and he made it so easy. Gives a lot of options on keeping an A in the class. Dont really need the text book as long as you pay attention in class youll be fine. Great professor overall and deff would take him again for accounting.

I took his online class which was like any other math class, read the book &amp; do the quizzes and Exams. He didn't have any video lectures but allowed open book/open note Exams so It was just a matter of finding that section and plugging in the variables to get the answer. He also had exam reviews and a welcome/accoutning refresher.

Professor Griffin is one of the coolest treachers I have ver had. Very laid back, will help you any time you need it, and has funny lectures. He makes it harder to fail the class than harder to get an A. You can pick which assignments you want to do and can take group quizzes to help boost your scores to replace a test grade.

Mr. Griffin is the kind of professor that I love. If you care about the class you get your A, and you really learn! If you just want to pass it, you'll pass, he passes almost everyone. I became his friend; I was always in his office. However, if you don't go to class, you'll get lost. Accounting is not easy.
