Even though I'm a grad student and Im good at writing papers, he grades them so hard. And he makes students spend their money and time driving to do his labs instead of driving everyone.

The class is very easy, but he is very immature about the course. If you skip class a lot you won't fail. All he does is read straight from the slides and rarely takes roll.

I took Dr. Grippo this semester for Making Connections. Everyone told me I was going to hate Making Connections, but I enjoyed Dr. Grippo's class! He made it fun and interesting.

He was very nice and made class somewhat interesting. FYE is boring anyway but he always and jokes and is just a happy person. He did show up late every class meeting though.

Team-taught with Drs. Risch and Sikkel. Dr. Grippo covered the morphology, physiology, conservation, and contaminants sections of lecture. Lectures were pretty interesting all around, easy to follow and understand. Test questions were multiple choice, true/false, and short answer. Pay attention to physiology, he knows his stuff there!

Definitely take Dr. Grippo's classes. He has a tendency to go off on pointless rants during class but other than that, he's great. He is so nice and relaxed and he is always willing to help any student even if the question doesn't pertain to the class. He and his wife had all of his students over for dinner one night and it was a blast!

I took Dr. Grippo for environmental biology, it is a 4000 level course but it was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. Grippo is very understanding and he is just all around a great teacher. If you have the opportunity to have him then TAKE IT!!

Comment:
Grippo is ALWAYS late for class. One time, he was 20 minutes late but the class waited for him. This does not stop him for docking you points for being late on an assignment. I think this is hypocritical on his part. Otherwise, he is a good prof that explains things well.

Comment:
Dr. Grippo is a very good environmental scientist. He made the class very interesting by combining information from the textbook, his own research experience, guest lecturer, and a field trip. BIO 5633 is not an easy class. Don't let his fun-loving attitude fool you. You must study hard and perform well on tests to get an A. Take his class.

Who doesn't love Grippo? I have Bio of Sex with him this semester. The guy is hilarious but helpful. Probably realizes most of us are not Bio majors, and keeps it interesting for us anyway. Highly recommended, the guy is awesome and you can tell he really cares.

He has a very laid back attitude. He likes to be funny and succeeds at it. He likes to take field trips a LOT! Every other day is a freaking field trip. (but they're fun so its cool) He uses powerpoint and all quizzes are online through blackboard. He does give tests in class though, so you cant just bs your way through the quizzes.

Class was better than expected. Dr. Grippo tried hard to make it interesting but some topics were still BORING! ASU field trips rocked!. All Making Conections classes should do this. Dr. G was almost the only teadher to come to the semester party. He really cared about his students. I will try to take him again for my major reguirements.

...Biology of Sex is a breeze. I like the guy, although he does ramble at times. This class was crazy, his sex bucket idea is hilarious. the tests are easy if you study for them. Just condense the powerpoints into a studyguide and use that for an easy A. I made a 113 on the first test, for gods sake.
