Great professor. Spends the entire course telling funny and interesting stories relating to law. Hands out study guides that help a lot for his tests. Very sweet guy.

Comment:
Older man who tells stories/gives examples of laws. i definitely would recommend Griggs, he's a really nice man. tries to make us laugh and doesn't ask for much. 3 tests, very chill. he curves, gives extra credit. there is no reason u should get lower than a B. apply yourself slightly and u will get an A.

Really interesting class. if you don't go to class you will fail. tests are very similar to the study guide he offers. Not difficult if you go to class. He is super old and really funny. The class is super confusing at first but don't drop it until after the first exam. he also offers extra credit and curves test grades. no textbook, lecture only.

Attending class is a must even though he doesn't take attendance, the test material comes from his lectures and stories. Funny guy, he also offers extra credit and gives study guides for each test.

Just go to class and take notes. Easy A. Barely any tests, and they're not hard if you listen to the lectures. Griggs is funny & his lectures are actually really interesting (all past court cases as examples). No textbook required.

His teaching style is very different. It seemed like he was telling stories the whole class but they will end up on the tests. Show up to class and take good notes and you'll do fine. We only had three tests for our grades so take them seriously. Gave great study guides too.

Comment:
Professor Grigg's teaching style is different, he tells stories to get his point across which can be difficult if you're easily distracted in class. TAKE LOTS OF NOTES. His stories all have a meaning/ lesson in them and on the tests he mentions the stories MULTIPLE times. Most of the test is true/false, so theres 50% chance of getting it right

SUPER nice, funny, and interesting teacher. However, you never know what to expect on the tests. You HAVE to come to class. Some of the test questions are just about the stories he tells.

Great professor and really loves what he does. If you go to class and pay attention you will get an A. His tests are not hard if you just read the notes. He will ask questions about random names or something that might be in a story. He is a fun teacher. I recommend him to anyone.

TAPE EVERY WORD AND LISTEN TO HIM INSTEAD OF RADIO--YOU'LL GET AN A+, if you don't come to class, no way you could get any better than a C--he gives examples with case vs whoever, and if you aren't there, you won't know which case or the outcome. If you don't know something or are confused, e-mail him. He got back to me as last as 10:45p.m.

Griggs is cool. Don't skip this class, though. Nothing on the tests comes from the textbook; it's all from his lectures.

1-buy a tape recorder, listen to his classes while driving, walking, where ever. Everything from tests are notes or what he says in class. Lots of interesting stories-mostly true--allot of fun.Every class, 10 min before, people are crowded around door, trying to get past class leaving to get good seat. I've never seen that, with any professor.

Dr. Griggs is a cool guy and has an interesting class, but his tests are ridiculous. They don't test your knowledge of the material, they test if you remember the name of a gay penguin he talked about for 5 seconds in class.
