Comment:

Dr. Griesinger is one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. She is very passionate about what she teaches and she shows genuine concern and cares for her students as well (she asks for prayer requests before every class). As an English major, I really loved her class, but her exams are quite detailed so you have to work for the A.

Very sweet lady who genuinely cares about her students. She's passionate about what she teaches but the material can be very boring at times. She gives reading quizzes about every class so reading and attendance is very important. Overall, I would take her again!

Comment:

She is a nice lady and always prays before class, which is so sweet. She gets distracted, usually by herself, which can be funny. Her class is sort of difficult and she really likes to dive deep into the literature. She is super knowledgeable! Even thought it can be a tiring class (lots of reading), its worth it. I really appreciate British Lit now

The sweetest and kindest woman ever! She prayed over me during class when I was sick and she picks out books that are life changing. My favorite professor thus far. She is incredible.

I was in her English Lit Survey class. The work load was painful, and the quizzes were really specific, but she was just...awesome. She was so sweet, loving, and caring toward ALL her students. If you can handle the work, take this class.

Dr. Griesinger really cares about helping her students learn how to write and express themselves. Attendance is mandatory and you do have to follow the reading but it is well worth it because she helps you along the way the entire semester. She really cares about helping her students.

Dr. G was very knowledgeable professor so far. She's organized and interesting. She truly cares for her students and is very helpful. You can tell she loves her job. I would love to take another class with her someday. I now want to read children's literature books all the time. That's how good she was.

Comment:

wonderful lady who is fond of praying with her students and talking about poetry. She truly loves her subject and her teaching shows that. Be warned you will have to do a good bit of reading and write a few timed essays for the tests but its worth it for all you learn.

Dr. G is full of compassion, insight, and confidence. Her teaching comes directly from within and spills out onto her students. Difficult, yes. Worth it, hell yes. She consistently takes the time to care for and pray with her students, constantly giving of her time, money, and laughter. She is a true mentor and friend.

I like Dr. G! She's quirky. She is a little demanding, but I think it's rewarding to rise to the challenge. Her literary topics course, Spiritual Autobiography, was the best class I've taken at APU.

Demanding and boring. You can learn but mostly on your own.
