he is an okay professor. lectures are boring, especially for a class that is my major. Going to class is a accomplish anything. The whole semester was very unclear as to what we were doing and when things were due. But lets just say hes not the worst...

Had him for Diag of LD. He's very thorough and a picky/tough grader, but for this, he has to be! Really knows how to train future LDTCs! Great professor and very helpful!

He lets the evil secretary run the place. No spine or clue at all. I kept hoping he would leave like all the rest of the Dept Chairs, but no - we get to keep him.

He is not an effective Dept Chair. I am convinced that with his lack of leadership the department will cruble and go away.

As a teacher, he was terrific. He is terrible as the Dean and is only hurting the major.

He is a great teacher and a great advisor. Went out of his way to help me. Believed in me. Boring lectures, but the work isn't so bad-this is college after all. Good guy once you get to know him-funny too!

I had Dr Griswald for a lot of my classes and as my advisor. He believes in his students. He encouraged me to do well and helped me whenever I needed it. I really enjoyed being in his classes. He's the one who really cares! I recommend him highly.

Comment:

Well taking both these courses together was certainly a lot of busy work..be prepared for numerous papers that require a lot of time and work and for him to be a tough grader if there is something he don't like... lectures VERY boring!!

Comment:

Dr. Griswald is a great professor, however he is demanding with his work. If you take 308 and 309 together you will be doing a lot of typing, however it pays off in the end. He has rubrics for all his assignments so if you follow them you should do fine:)

His lectures are great. If you do the work and have it checked early you will be fine. The presentation is easy to get an A on. He's so cuddly!
