Comment:

35 years have passed since I sat in one of Dr. Grimes' classes, and I still recall him fondly and often! He is a marvelous story-teller and truly brings his material to life. He is deeply respected for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that he treats his students with respect. #TeamLarry

I think he was a really great professor. Never before have I had a professor willing to let us have class in his back yard.

Dr. Grimes is EXTREMELY interesting. I was a Bio major but I took a few of his classes just because I loved to listen to him talk about Literature. He is a great professor1

Comment:

I find his classes a waste of time. As a minister, and an experienced professor, he puts too much weight upon his own beliefs and doesnt leave room for those with dissenting opinions.I am not specifically talking about myself, but also referencing the voices he cuts short in class. I feel like each class is a waste,Im learning nothing new or useful

A really brilliant guy in and out of class. One of the few teachers you can approach comfortably outside of class and have a good conversation.

Wow! Doc Grimes is amazing. My favorite Lit classes were with him. Very demanding and crazy intelligent. Bethany is lucky to have him. His classes convinced me to take on English Lit as a second major.

I enjoyed his personality and teachings in both my film and college writing courses. He has helped immensly with my writing skills and was a real pleasure in class. My only regret is that I was unable to take more classes with him.

He's quite the character, this guy. I really enjoyed his class. I love his ghost stories at Halloween. He's an excellent story teller.

Grimes is a fascinating guy. Prudes beware; his classes are rarely rated G. Grimes has always been available to students who want to talk, and always encourages the english majors that "they can do anything!"
