HIGHLIGHTS FROM  TEACHING EVALUATIONS

  • Dr. Griffis has a passion for literature and it shows in her teaching style. She is friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable in the subject. She is well prepared for each class. Her insights and her use of well thought out, prepared questions stimulate discussion in the classroom and consideration of multiple viewpoints.
  • Professor Griffis has helped beyond the point I thought I could be helped. Taking her course has inspired me. I am even going to change my major/minor. A life changing course that I beyond enjoyed. Everyone in the class was active and participated in discussion because of how well everything was organized and can even be considered fun. A great experience, thankful for her!
  • I really love how the instructor brings in cultural issues into class discussions. Instead of just talking about the past and the time that these writings were created in, we talk about how we can learn from it today and apply it to things happening in our world today.
