real eye opener

Not afraid to give her opinion and can definitely back it up.

uses lots of overheads but tries to trick you on the multiple choice exams. VERY DIFFICULT MULTIPLE CHOICE

Difficult but challenging.

interesting to listen to, easy to understand

This is a professor who will challenge you to do your personal best. She is a brilliant woman who takes a personal interest in her students and is more than willing to take the time to explain things. I have the utmost respect for this professor.

A hard class, lots of material to cover. Overall good prof. Fair marking and evaluation. Really challenges you to think critically about things and apply knowledge. Lectures really fast!

she is awesome. awesome. she marks hard, but only because she expects a lot out of her students, and thats not necessarily a bad thing.

Awesome prof! You can tell she is passionate in her teaching. She apologized for the boring lectures and kept interesting discussions going throughout the lecture. I specifically re-arranged my schedule just to take another one of her classes next year! Entertaining prof, highly recommend!

awesomeprof. really enjoy her classes

Let's just say...if u didn't think women were the main victims in every part of history u weren't going to do well! i did all the readings and thought i understood but managed to get C's on every test :S

Best Prof I have ever had in my 3 years at university. Makes CRM soo much fun!!!

I love her as a proff, one of the few that can acctually teach. She is fun, interesting and you can tell she enjoys her job. U of O needs more proffs like her!

a very good lecturer... class was very interesting and informative.. and overall enjoyable clASS... i found the mid term and exam difficult.. u really need to study for them but those are the only assignments required

A good teacher, she seems to really enjoy teaching. Her marking can be a bit difficult, but as long as you are comfortable with the readings you should do fine.

Chris is a fabulous professor! I must admit I was worried having her for a prof after hearing what others have said, but she's awesome. She's engaging to listen to and knows what she is talking about. A midterm and a final - which I found fairly easy. I'd recommend taking one of her classes, she's that good. Oh, and she does give an A+. HOT!!!

Kick ass prof!!! I loved her. It is too bad this was my last semester because I really wanted to take another course with her. You really have to take good notes in her class to do well. I studied her lectures in detail and got an A+ in the class.

She is easily my fav proff of all-time. Smoe people dont like her, but I dont see how that could be. She acctually teaches rather than rambling on.

Tough marker, you really have to work in her classes. It was not my best mark but in the end I learned so much from her. I really appreciate professors who actually introduce you to things you never thought about before and can change your entire views on life through one class. Chris is definitely one of those professors.

nice woman... fair marking

She's a good teacher because she actually forces you to listen and learn. I do agree that her tests are tough and she expects a bit too much with the short answers. I was in every class and took detailed notes and still didn't do great on tests. I think she's good at clearly giving you all the info you need, but is a bit too tough with marking.

i don't know why everyone is hating on her. she teaches you the material and if you actually take good notes and study for her tests you'll do fine. got an A the class i had her with. yes, she is a little crazy but she keeps the class interesting and doesn't take****. she is also a VERY fair marker

Awesome course! Midterms directly reflect lecture material, and she plays a lot of interesting videos

Very interesting topic, her thorough knowledge of the topic helped keep me interested and made the class more enjoyable overall. Her marking scheme was very fair for a fourth year course.

She was a great prof! Very passionate and interesting to listen to. She uses a lot of videos & guest lecturers (who are also very interesting) and its all fair game for the midterm & exam.. she is a fair marker as long as you go to class, pay attention, and do your readings you will do great!

Great professor. She makes class interesting by adding great videos and guest lecturers. It is absolutely possible to get an A. Go to class. Do the readings. Midterm is very fair, no trick questions. She also gives a GREAT tutorial before all midterms, goes over every article that will be on the exam.

Prof. Bruckert is a passionate and amazing professor. She knows what she is talking about and teachesgets the message across clearly. Do the readings, go to class and you will be fine for the midterms. Take-home exam 12 page paper - pretty simple. Great class! :)

Christine is extremely passionate about her work. She teaches the material with great detail, is up to date with contemporary issues, and is always available through email. You have to do the readings to pass, which is expected in university. The readings themselves are easy and enjoyable but make up a lot of the midterm and the final exam.

I'm not sure why Prof. Bruckert's ratings aren't higher. Genuinely enjoyed the class. She made sure to keep it relevant and introduce current events into our lectures. 2 really easy midterms and a final paper that requires no outside research. Definitely would take her again!

I can see Christine being a not great teacher for general 1st and 2nd year courses. However her ability to teach 4th year courses is fantastic. She uses modern, tangible material, and breaks down the course so that your strengths offset your weaknesses. I would highly suggest her as a seminar lecturer.

She's very passionate about this course and it shows in her lectures. The class is pretty easy if you pay attention and use common sense. The textbook is also really helpful, especially if you miss a class because she doesn't post lecture slides.

I really enjoyed this class. We had some classes online and lots of fun group work ( in class activities that go towards ur final grade ). Theres a mini homework activity you have to complete before every class and Socratic quizzes (worth 25% of ur grade) and doing the readings is mandatory to pass. She doesn't post her slides. Cool prof!

CRM2307 has the most homework/assignments that I've ever had in a class before. Assignments after every single class, plus quizzes, group assignments, plus 3 midterms and a final paper. Chris herself is a good prof, but DON'T TAKE 2307 WITH HER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO A LOT OF WORK!!!!!

Chris is a great prof! I loved the content and i loved the guest speakers she chose to bring in - you can tell she loves what she teaches. Beware though - there's an assignment almost every class and 3 midterms plus a final paper.

Chris is honestly a great professor! She is very dedicated to the course and the research. I actually learnt so much in this class, and never missed a class because it was that great. You do need to work for your grade though, lots of assignments and midterms etc. But, put in the effort and youll do great.

I don't know why her rating isn't higher! She is extremely passionate which makes the class 10x more interesting. I was always excited to come to class. She assigns a lot of mini assignments but nothing too difficult and in the end it helps you achieve a higher grade. You will learn a lot in this class!

Professor Bracket is a gem!! Honestly, the work load was a lot in the class but the way she presented the material was beyond interesting. She is SO knowledgeable about everything she teaches about, it makes you want to learn more. 10/10 in every way!

Prof Bruckert is great. If you are looking to pass with little work then do not take her course. The online course was set up for students to succeed as long as they followed each class. Her mini assignments helped boost my grade up and were so helpful for the exams. She also gave the option of skipping the third exam. Lectures are fair in length.

I just love her so much as a person, I learned A LOT in her class, not just academic stuff. It was eyes opening and I loved every second of it. There is a lot of reading, pretty much average in a criminology class but at least it was interesting and easy to read ! She is so funny too, she is very humble and doesnt talk down to anybody.
