Do NOT take her for your online CJ classes if that is what you're planning. Very slow with emails, and if your answers on a quiz or an assignment is in a format she doesn't like, you will receive a 0 EVEN if you have the correct answers. Possibly the worst instructor I've come across at BC.

if you like crime and crazy stories about policing, take this class. You watch really interesting movies/docs. Don't bother buying a book though, she'll give you notes in class that are exactly like the book. Make sure to always show up, a majority of class stuff is in her tests. As long as you study notes, you'll ace every test (essay questions)

Her grading scale makes no sense, you'll either get an A+ if you do well or a B- if you make a small mistake. Please proofread your text at least 20 times because this professor compensates for the simple course by grading you down on grammar. If you aren't a native English speaker please avoid this professor.

I've had a lot of good professors, but she engaged the class with an obvious deep understanding of the course and the topics. She is passionate about CJ and has hands-on experience with it in the past. You won't regret taking her. I am not the best student but there is a good workload, and you get notecards for all of the quizzes. Highly Recommend.

This professor has fair logic, class attendance does affect your grade because of some in person discussions. You are expected to read a chapter of the provided book a week, with a quiz about every 3rd week.

Disappointing class. Her lectures were just repeats of the textbook with no originality. She tries to come across as all knowing about the subjects but did not succeed. It seems like she does not really know the material at all and just repeats the readings. I don't think she should be teaching this class. I would suggest not taking her classes.

a lot of material but makes sense for this class. expect to invest a bit of time into learning the material and watching her lectures. discussion topics are interesting. the tests may be difficult if you don't prepare properly--only one attempt. she is clearly knowledgeable and passionate. i enjoyed this course and rec but don't expect an easy A.

Absolutely hands down would take her again. Using both application, discussion, and informational slides, she explained stuff in very simple terms before creating bigger connections. She was easy-going and understanding yet still enforced rules--I appreciated her respect and kindness a lot. Amazing teacher all around.

Loved having serial killer videos with theories to understand more with short essays. The structure was great to know what to expect too. One discussion a week, one quiz every 2 weeks and if you read and followed slides you could do well. Extra credit and cared when I needed some extra help and always responded quickly. Will take again.

very knowledgeable, but very heavy on reading. She says she always uploads lecture videos, but half the time they aren't there. Tests and quizzes are on very obscure details from the textbook. Gives good feedback to improve on discussion posts and papers. Would not take again.

Professor Charlene was great for my online criminal law class. She was easy to reach, she answered questions well and nicely. Make sure to not just look at her slideshows but to also look in the book. But she has videos of her going over the information for the week and it's entertaining and not annoying to listen to. Great class overall !
