Loved the class! Prof, was wonderful with working with students

Open note tests and make sure you go to class the day after the tests because there's always extra credit. Easy class for such a big topic

Easy class. Nice guy. Noyes help for exam but that doesn't mean u can skip reading and not study before exam---obviously some people do not understand this.

Easy class.....just as easy to read book as to listen to exact same thing in class but he gives quizzes so u can't skip.

i love McKenzie! he is one of the nicest profs i've had at GV. he's willing to help you with anything, just go to his office hours. the class is easy. go to class (you don't have to read if you attend), make sure you know your cases or he'll make you brief the next chapter.

Very nice guy. He is a little monotoned, but his lectures are too the point. Tests are hard, but open note. Highly recommend!

You know whats going to be on every test, and you are allowed to study from previous tests(highly suggested because almost identical coppies) I learned a lot from this class about police process, and thats what the class is about so thats good. Not a bad class

if u go to class and listen the test arnt that hard, all open note and last 2 tests are open book and note. he prints the power points for u, how much easier can it get. he gets right to the point and as long as u read the book and go to class then u will do fine on his tests

Great Guy. REally enjoyed class! Test can be somewhat difficult even with open notes and book. But well worth it!

He's a sassy little man who really knows his stuff. If you ask him a question about an exam question, he'll tell you the answer. Very helpful. He's great!!

This prof. is great! Open note and book, multiple choice exams! Lots of EX.CREDIT! Really nice guy and he definately knows his stuff. I would recommend him.

If you can handle really boring lectures, you will be fine. You have to attend class, but if you do then you should get an A in the class... because it is open notes on the exam. Good guy, take him if you can.

Dr. Mckenzie is a great prof. He gives you every reason to pass but you must work for it. Lots of extra credit so lower test scores wont kill you... lots of in class work... great guy really nice, funny to... he is a great prof...

Excellent class and Prof. Easy tests and extra credit quizes. You learn a lot and the night class flew by. Prof is fun and fiesty for an old man. Very funny.

Learned a lot in this class. Lectures could've been much worse, and actually held my attention most of the time. Open book/note tests definately are awesome and I came out of the class feeling like I actually learned something, rather than memorized court cases and decisions for tests.

Professor McKenzie is HILARIOUS! He makes all these funny faces when he can't think of what to say next. Not to mention that the class is super easy; open-book exams, extra credit quizzes. If you have to take Constitutional Law, take him.

I love this man, has the funniest sayings and really helps you understand even though he's super easy. Extra credit is excellent and the class is overall a great class anyway. The exams are easy, even if they weren't open notes (sometimes book too).

Open note tests. Easy and interesting class. Would recommend.

cute little old guy. Has a very hard time answering questions and putting a thought together, but means well. Open note tests that are easy, but questions are worded confusing sometimes. Easy A

This guy is awesome. Great person, gets the material you need to you through powerpoints, posts everything online, and all tests open note, not to mention he likes to joke around. what more could you ask for?

Very nice old guy!!! This class was a lot of fun for me, I enjoyed the lecture even though he sometimes didn't have any clue what he was talking about. If you ask him a question, 9 out of 10 times he won't actually answer your question. All in all he is a great prof and I recommend him highly. Oh and all his tests are open note so take good not

By far one of my all time favorite profs. He is totally absent minded but brilliant. Entertaining, interesting, and easy going, I will take ANY class that he teaches!

Easy class. Tests are open notes. Took him for a 6-9 and was out every time by 8. Gives lectures through powerpoint. I enjoyed the class.

Great class, test is all off the power points, which he lets you use on the test. I didnt use the book at all, even though he brings it up a few times. I can't wait to have another class with him.

Super easy class but a ridiculously boring lecture block...open note tests and finals with questions directly off the study guides. Didn't even get the discussion board running but still gave us full credit...GUARANTEED A

Super easy, but I haven't learned a thing, and I want to be a CJ major! I should either start studying on my own, or just take the class again with a different teacher. He's made our exams open book, so it's not even worth trying at this point. The only reason you have to show up to class is when he starts giving random 5 pt worksheets.

Mckenzie is a great guy but has a tendency to go off on tangents in class and repeats himself. The whole 3 hour class was all PowerPoint which he puts on BB. The tests are open note and for our class open book after the first exam. Its an interesting class however, we didn't cover everything in the syllabus and some classes only lasted an hour, fun

Incredibly disorganized. The exams were open notes, but his wording is very confusing so read every question very carefully. Go to class because he takes attendance and there are case briefings that are done in class and extra credit quizzes. Easy A, but if you actually want to learn the material, take it with someone else.

Dr. McKenzie is a sweet man who meand well and I think people mistake him for being dry and senile. He is an extremely intelligent man but can be confusing in lectures sometimes. He gives students many tools to exceed, including giving question stems for the exams, open note exams, extra credit, and easy case briefs. Easy A if you put in any effort

Great professor! I loved his class. He was enthusiastic about teaching, and you can tell he has a passion for law. Very helpful and approachable. Open notes for tests, which aren't hard as long as you read the material.

He is such a sweet guy! You can tell he really cares about his students. There is a lot of work but it is worth it! He is very understanding and wants everyone to succeed and do well!

Such a caring professor and he genuinely cares about his students. The class in not the most entertaining, but its a requirement. Exams are challenging, but they are online and you can use your notes. Dr. McKenize, is such a great guy and if you have any problems at all he will make it a point to make everything work out for you. take him!

McKenzie really cares about his students! The class material is pretty boring but it's required. The lectures are mandatory, and there's a lot of course work online. The exams and quizzes are tough, but he's very flexible!

He's a really cool professor, has a ton of good stories and a ton of experience, really cool. Class was the exact same every time, one quiz per week online, 4 exams in class open note and a final online, all really easy if you pay attention to the lecture and read some of the book. Easy A would definitely take again.

I guarantee you that if you take this class, you'll get an A. EVERYTHING is online which includes exams. Bring a red bull to class though cause this guy will put you to sleep in his lectures.

Dr. McKenzie's class was by far my favorite. He has a lot of expierence from the work field which makes his lectures interesting. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He is very friendly and willing to help anyone. After taking his class I am planning to pursue a minor in criminal justice.

Doug McKenzie was the cutest little man. He really knew what he was talking about too which was awesome in lecture. You don't ever have to go to class because all assignments are straight from the book and online. Really great GPA booster.

Doug is a funny little guy and the class is a breeze. HIGHLY recommend. This class is an automatic A, everything is online so you don't have to go to class. Solid GPA booster. Would take again if given the chance.

Walked up to him on one of the last day of classes to tell him that I couldn't do the discussion board submission for that week. Cracked his patented smile, chuckled, and said, "You won't have to worry about that at all. I tend to be a fairly easy grader for most of my assignments." #NEVERFORGET #CJ101WITHDOUGINANUTSHELL

This was class pretty easy and while the lectures might be a bit boring, the subject is interesting. Wasn't much homework or papers, just a project/presentation at the end. EASY.
