Comment:

Father Graf is the worst professor. First of all, you can't ever read his handwriting. He assigns essays every week, if you have poor grammar you won't do well. He is rude, and gets very angry when people don't know the answers to his questions. During class discussion he sits in a chair with his hands covering his face, and never opens his eyes.

Comment:

Weekly journal reflections based on class lectures. One project. Three longer papers. Group discussions every class. Easy to get an A as long as you don't approach the assignments lazily. Good professor and fairly easy course.

He's not your prototypical priest. He's a weird funny. Often gets off topic. Can't read his writing.

Comment:

Fr. Bill Graf is one of the best professors I have ever had. He helps you through every step of the process and is open to change in his syllabus all you have to do is talk to him. He teaches you more then just content in his class. He also forces you to think a little bit but at the same time you will not fail from taking his class.

Comment:

Easy class (in terms of workload, tough to get an A though) with some interesting content. He does have a small temper problem when group discussions go in tangents, you say something that he disagrees with, or you try to talk to him about his grade on your papers. Just do your work, proofread, and pick a concentrated group and you'll be fine.

Had him for Marriage and Sexuality and the class was group discussions, with weekly 1 page reflections which were easy. Few short papers which are quick and easy but he grades somewhat harshly.. Easy class, but hard to get an A

Comment:

Fr. Graf is a nice guy. He may be a bit chauvinistic by accident but all out favoritism of male students is not happening. he thinks women should be ordained for god sake. he really cares about his student, if you ever wanted to take a class that is like the fabled strict catholic classes your parents go on about, this is the closest you'll come.

Comment:

This class was alright, almost no homework to do outside of class. There was a lot of watching movies. There were 4 essays and if you did bad on those there was no way to make it up since he gives no extra credit. The essays are graded very harshly. Lastly if you are a guy he likes you, a girl he hates you, I do not recommend him as a teacher.

Comment:

He gives greats based on how he feels about you. I got a c+ despite doing well on all the work an only missing 2 classes. Also when I requested him to break down my grade he was rude and unhelpful. He also allows students to speak negatively about others in the room.

Comment:

Father Graff is the sweetest guy. The Martin and Malcolm class was not stressful and a great way to get a CC. Loves group work and lets you take group quizzes. Only 3 papers but you have to do outside research to do rly well on them. He tends to favor the boys so if ur a girl jus get used to it. But overall great class, great guy, take it!

A fair grader but cannot read his hand writing. Tells stories that make the class more interesting. Isn't very level headed, lets his emotions get the best of him. unapologetic for his rude behavior to students. obvious that he favors male students.

Comment:

He's a decent guy, but his class gets boring after the first month or two. It was great at first, but eventually the man just rambles on about who knows what. He does have a short temper and is a bit of a tough grader.

This man is so grumpy. He has favorites and if your not one of them he pretends your not there. Is miserable. He may know a lot about religion but it's not worth it.

Comment:

Positives: Easy class, you'll be done with all the work almost a month early, almost impossible to fail if you show up. Negatives: Could go a little deeper into the actual church in addition to the religion, pretty tough to get an A (really need to nail the essays, because the project is peer-graded). Collaborative learning. Nice guy, has rewrites

very sweet man and extremely approachable. didn't ask too much from his students. his patience may be short, but don't do anything to test it. if I ever had the opportunity to take another class with him I definately would.
