Even two submissions for assignments regarding the most difficult content (mid-semester). Lectures are dense, but digestible. Easily accessible outside the classroom. Great to talk, caring, and inspiring. Great guy!",

If you took stats in high school you will breeze through this course, and even if not Griffin will give you everything you need to truly understand everything. Super friendly, very knowledgeable, and he clearly cares about his students - highly recommend! ",

I am not great at math & was dreading my LS stats req, but I think Griffin knew none of us wanted to be there & tried to make it as easy as possible. I actually understood a lot of the material. There's a lot of homework, but you just have to do well on the data analysis projects.& Go to his office hours!!",
