So amazing. I love professor Griffith. His office hours are the most helpful of them all. He is patient and answers every question to the best of his ability. It's very unfortunate that the classes he teach happen to be so hard. Financial Accounting 2 and 3 are no joke.Rate My Professors ↗

Goes through the lectures well and explains complex topics in further into detail so that you can understand it well. He structures the quizzes and exams fairly, having no tricky questions on them. He answers questions about the material, which can be challenging in some chapters.Rate My Professors ↗
Griffith has a very straightforward, organized approach to teaching a class. While the content is often difficult, he gives you the tools the need to succeed. Requirements were extremely clear, tests were rigorous but fair, and the cases well-developed.Rate My Professors ↗
Accounting 302: Griffith is def one of the best profs I've had at Madison. The class is hard (a lot harder than 301) and so are the exams, but he explains the content well and is always available to meet and help you (he cares a lot). The class is curved a lot (don't get discouraged by the syllabus). I would def take Griffith again!!1Rate My Professors ↗
I took Accounting 302 with Professor Griffith and he is definitely one of the best professors I have ever had. The content is challenging and so are the exams, but he explains content in a way that is easier to understand than the textbook. He is also very caring and always willing to help his students. I recommend taking Professor Griffith.Rate My Professors ↗
Took 302 online with Matt. Awesome guy, very knowledgeable, very good at teaching. He did a good job breaking down complicated concepts and was very accessible outside of class.Rate My Professors ↗
