  Griffin is such a sweet instructor and really cares about her students and how they do in her class. I could feel how much she enjoys teaching throughout the whole class. She makes it feel very personal and safe and she gives a lot of very helpful and specific feedback on each assignment. I wish she could be my instructor for each ENG class I take.

  Griffin is wonderful! Her class is SO easy, all you have to do is read the assignments and do the discussions/quizzes. It's a lot of reading and writing but it really is easy. There are three essay's but if you do all the assignments or at least have a C, you don't have to do the final exam. She's really nice and is always available to help.

  One of the BEST teachers at TMCC. The class was relatively easy and very insightful at the same time. Dr. Griffin automatically responds and grades work within a week (even before the due date). The essays were super fun because I was able to tie each prompt to my personal life. The only downside is the class is MLA heavy. 100% recommend.

  I took this online. Each week you have 1/2 assignments, 1/2 quizzes,and sometimes other things. You have 3 big essays and an independent reading book.ProfG is really good at her job and offered good feedback and fair grades but this class has a lot going on for an online course. My grade was from slacking off, not from the class being difficult.

  I enjoyed taking this class with this professor. There was overall three essays with some minor assignments to help with the essays. What I thought to be a fun thing was that each essay was a part of an overall topic, the topic being an inner quality.

  Prof Griffin was a gem! At the beginning of the semester I was worried because the workload was heavier than I expected. We had 10 discussion posts total and they each had 10+ questions. I received a 100% on all of them though. 10 Quizzes and each had two attempts. 3 essays, one 2000 words the others 1700. Can revise. Put in the work, you'll pass.

  She is a very hard teacher. I would be ready to write some papers. She is a tough grader to me but she does allow you to do revisions which could give you some extra points. I believe there were three papers but they are hard topics except for the last one

  She is very nice. We had 3 essays and 1 book of our choice to read. There are about 10 quizzes but some of them have retakes. She is caring and provides feedback on everything. I got to redo some hints and she reminds us so we dont forget. One of my favorite English teachers ever and I never liked English. She got me into reading a lot of books.

  I cannot say enough good things about Professor Griffin! She is such a sweet caring person. Aside from her great personality, she is a wonderful teacher as well. The way she laid out the essay assignments made them feel so organic and easy to write. She gives amazing feedback and is very fair in her grading. I wish she taught everything!

  I took her online English 101 and 102 classes. She is a great professor with clear criteria for papers. She gives great feedback and if you do all of the assignments on time and have about a C+, you don't have to take the final. Papers have fun topics that make you interested in them. I had a lot of fun in her classes.

  Teacher was really nice, gives feedback in timely matter. Online class was really tough, total of 3 essay (#1 2,000 words and the last two 1,700 word). Essays take a huge chuck of your overall grade. As long as you turn everything on time and get decent grade on your essay ( C or higher) you don't have to take final exam.

  Prof Robin Griffin is amazing! I'm finishing up my semester with her, and I would totally take a class of hers again. She truly cares about her students and it shows. I did at times feel there was more work than needed, but that could also be because I found some assignments challenging. Thankfully, she was always there to help me when needed!

  Very easy online class, do the weekly discussions and you'll be good! She's lenient with turning in assignments (except for peer reviews) and gives plenty of opportunities for fixing your grade as well as great feedback. There are three essays and if you are still not passing the class there is a chance to fix them or do a fourth essay.

  Robin is very caring. When I was having a hard time adjusting to college I had missed a few assignments in her class. I told her why I was having a rough time and she let me turn them in with no penalty. She gives great feedback on your papers and you can really tell she cares.

  I took her online class. It was alright, fairly easy. Robin is very responsive and flexible about meeting and communicating about classwork. Her written and video materials for the class are a bit of a cluster. It's disorganized and she rambles, both in text and in her videos. But she's really nice.

  I am already signed up for her English 102 class now. She is very specific on what she is looking for and is very available via email if you have questions or any issue. The essays seem never ending but that's because she gives lots of prep work beforehand but also gives extra credit to boost that final essay grade. She really does care.
