I took her class for Criminology. I enjoyed it so much. You HAVE to use the text book and go over power point slides- exams are based of the power point slides and text book- Exams consist of multiple chose and writing in your answer- you are expected to write the maxim amount of words the box will take.

Dr. Muhammad's classes are always great and thought provoking. I have taken courses with her previously in person, and taking her Principles of Criminal Justice Class Online was just as fun. Even though the course is online, you are required to complete experiential learning trips which are a great addition to the course.

I like Dr. Muhammad as a person, but I would not recommend taking this online class. We had homework assignments due every week and two very lengthy test (takes at least 5 hours to complete).

Dr. Muhammad is one of the best if not the best professor I've taken at HU. She's very heartfelt with what she does and the students she teaches. However, because of her likable personality and busy schedule it's hard to get in contact with her. Solely that alone made the online course difficult - as questions and concerns weren't answered timely.

Dr. Muhammad is a very busy professor therefore it is sometimes hard to get direct feedback about grades or to ask questions. Her TA was helpful and active in the groupme to help give directions.

This class was hard #facts. Dr. Muhammad tried to make it engaging even when no one had cameras on. Students tried at times to take advantage of her empathy for us. A lot of students wanting hand holding. In the GroupME this was clear. If you work hard. Follow the recordings. Study for exams. They wont be as long as some say. They didnt study! Ok
