Awesome teacher!!! Doesnt take attendance, reviews exams day before,study the book and youll get an A on the exam. Very easy A to boost your GPA! Dont take if your expecting to learn more than what you would read on a book! very laid back class :)

he's a great professor. I highly recommned him

The book and especially the online interactive course are good to have and the reading for his class is easy. He was a funny guy who cursed like a sailor. But some of his classes we're repeats. You will hear these things over and over again(three leged dog, plea bargains and many other things). But easy A if you can can you can use common sense.

He gave reviews before the exams. Offered extra credit. Altho attd not mandatory, I suggest you go bcuz he will give extra pts for that. Don't mess around w/ ur phone or laptop - this aggravated him the most. He's a very kind man who made the lectures interesting. No need to take a lot of notes as he posts the Powerpoints up. GREAT GPA BOOSTER.

Awesome teacher! He relates the topics that are gone over in class to current events to help you better understand them. He also goes over what you can expect on the test to better prepare you. He seems to really care that his students do well and if they aren't doing well its because they are not coming to class or trying to learn.

Good Class. He posts powerpoints on blackboard and also does reviews before the test. Would definitely recommend.

Loved!! He's so nice. Gives plenty of extra credit, no book needed, tests aren't too difficult. Made his lectures interesting, posts everything on BB and is easy to talk to.

He is a super sweet teacher. Makes things super easy. Goes over a review of whats going to be on the tests. Gives alot of extra credit opportunities. Attendance isn't required even though he says he will do it randomly. You dont need your book. TAKE HIM!

have him for CRJ 1113/2153. very interesting considering he tells a lot of personal stories related to the topic we're learning. He is a really chill guy, Very laid back and usually extends exam dates! LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES! Post all the power points, so attendance isn't mandatory. Easy A, take him!

Easy class. Honestly, there is no way that you can earn less than a C. Study for the exams and go to class and you should be fine. The subject material is cool- so I didnt have to put too much effort into it and still managed a B. SO MANY extra credit oppt. it's awesome! He's also super nice and willing to help.

He is approachable, nice, funny and he's great with giving extra credit opportunities. Tests are fairly easy if you go to class and study the pp notes or skim or read book. Tells great stories about his past that tie into CRJ. Do not fall asleep in class. He will call you out on it. Took him 2 semesters in a row for diff classes, 1 B & 1 A grade.

Not a hard Prof at all! I highly recommend him. He tells a lot of stories about his past during lectures. If all you study is his power points you'll do pretty good without ever having to buy a book for the class.... Do not fall asleep in class!

Very easy gives power points but just use the review he gives and u will do fine super easy awesome Professor!!

Take him!! He is an awesome professor! Very funny and can make your day! You can tell he really loves his students!! Best professor at UTSA!!

He just sorta talks about stuff but he doesn't teach his slides. He uses them as a guide but doesn't mention them too much. The tests are based on the slides so you don't have to go to class but the stuff he talks about is interesting. I'd say take him. It's an easy enough class.

I've had Mr. Meade for 3 semesters in a row, 1 B, 2 A's, so as you can tell I like his teaching style. He's so easy going, funny, nice and approachable. I am taking him next semester as well. He gives extra credit opportunities and his tests are fairly easy if you study the book, power points and go to class. TAKE HIM!!!! :)

Super easy class, doesn't take attendance. Only 4 grades; exams. He does give out a few bonus points here and there, but its not really necessary as he is a really easy professor. Aside from that he tells very interesting stores, though he does tend to repeat them quite often. Loads of special guest speakers who are really interesting! Take him!

Easy course but if you don't pay attention you won't pass.!

He's funny. Gives lectures based on current events. Will take again.

he was a great professor, would take more classes taught by him

Very funny, very vocal guy. Lectures are long but he usually makes them interesting with his humor and good stories. A few quizzes and a couple easy essays. Show up, do the work, easy A.

Do yourself and your GPA a favor and take his Class, great instructor, easy to relate to and great at delivering each lesson.

Hes a good professor with a class that is easy. The textbook is not needed for his class and exams are easier but you have to study the powerpoint for them, which he posts to blackboard. Attendance isn't necessary but he gives extra credit for attendance randomly and does 4 random quizzes throughout the semester. Gives extra credit frequently.

I have taken multiple classes with Meade and i would take more if i could. His lectures often go over the same stories about his life but most of the time they are hilarious and relatable. He isn't afraid to speak his mind and he's a great teacher if you try to get to know him. One of the few teachers at UTSA that actually cares about his students!

Professor Meade's classes were lectured based. He read off powerpoints which were posted on blackboard to help with tests. Simple and easy class if you show up to class, and read the chapters. His lectures weren't needed for the tests but the book is needed if you want an A in the course. He offers lots of extra credit opportunities

Meade is a great professor who has tons of experience in the Criminal Justice field. You can't go wrong with taking a few of your classes with him. He's an easy professor. Most of his tests are lecture based. He also gives TONS of extra credit opportunities.

Easy A. Never took notes. He gives tons of extra credit. Gives two points for every class you attended. Two easy opinion papers. This guy worked for a lot of agencies and has a lot of stories so be prepared to hear them.

Meade is a great professor I loved his stories they helped to remember the information for the exams his class is easy as long as you show up and pay attention his class is not hard at all

Love this guy! Easy class with all power point lectures. He gives funny personal stories and is really passionate! Tests are easy but no review worksheet. He gives you a rundown of every test so you are not surprised. Extra credit quizzes given randomly for attendance and sign in sheet. class. Only tests no hw! don't need book. Honestly easy class!

Professor Meade is an absolute gem. His sense of humor is awesome, so it keeps people engaged in his lectures. He's lenient about attendance. But make sure to attend -- it's worth 2.2 points per day! I would absolutely recommend him.

This class is so easy. You will get so much information from him regardless if you have him. If you would like to learn more about private security i definitely encourage this class.

3 exams plus the final, No homework, pop quizzes for attendance/Extra Credit! Lectures are interesting. He genuinely cares about students. Offers job opportunities. Gives test answers during review. Attendance does count. 100% recommend. Easy easy class & don't have to be CRJ major. Gives multiple extra credit & don't need to buy the book!!

4 exams and pop quizzes for extra credit only! The test are easy- he literally gives you answers to 50% of the exam. Don't listen to the other comments, the tests are easy if you show up to class. Attendance DOES matter. But he is the nicest and cares. Responds fast to email. Never took notes- powerpoint online. Don't buy book. 100% take for EASY A

Professor Meade is one of the greatest Professors of CJ in UTSA. The class was very interesting since the beginning and we did a great project. I would definitely recommend professor Meade for any class. He has a lot of experience and knows what he is talking about. This was one of the few CJ classes I have actually loved.

Meade is such a sweet professor who really cares about when youre not doing as well as he knows you can. Hes really entertaining & funny with explaining his experience in law enforcement during his lectures. Not gonna lie, I didnt attend every class, but he gives so many extra credit ops. I couldve gotten an A if I actually studied.

Mr. Meade is awesome, sweet nice and always gives out examples that us students can relate to. I would totally recommend him 100%.

Great professor and starter course for a criminal justice major. You are only graded on 4 exams, class participation/attendance and announced in class quizzes. Professor Meade is well versed with his criminal justice background and does give extra credit opportunities. He wants to see his students succeed. Can't wait to take him for future courses.

Mr. Meade is a great professor. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about policing, the courts, federal agencies and prisons. His class is not hard & he appreciates attendance. If you read the book, you will do fine on the exams. His opinion papers are extra credit and there is no right/wrong answers, simply testing your abilities to listen & write.

Prof Meade made lecture very interesting to learn. There will be a lot of extra credit opportunities in this class.

Highly recommend because professor Meade has guest speakers and fields trips. Easy A just study the slides.

First time taking a CRJ class and the best professor Ive had in my 3 years at UTSA. Shouldve changed my major a long time ago! 4 exams, extra credit opportunities and weekly pop quizzes that add up to 10 points on exam. Attendance isnt mandatory but missing class when you pretty much cover a chapter a day isnt a good idea.

Professor Meade was very engaging in lectures, I really enjoyed his classes. Attendance not mandatory. Tests and quizzes were pretty easy. Fair amount of reading the textbook, but you only 4 tests and 4 quizzes. Extra credit opportunities. Overall, I really liked Professor Meade. He is very caring and really wants to help you understand and succeed

I enjoyed Professor Meade a lot. Being in his lectures wasn't necessary, but I always wanted to go because his stories were good, he was super funny, and is a very nice guy. I definitely recommend him and would take him again.

He gives a lot of personal anecdotes but I personally like it. His lectures get a little sidetracked by personal stories but I love them. My only gripe with Professor Meade is his quizzes and exams are random and so studying in advance is hard to do. But he gives so many opportunities for extra credit, and he has fun field trips.

Very easy class.

Great professor with real world experience and meaningful connections toward career building.

The class itself was not hard. He never taught us anything that was on the exams or quizzes. He kept talking about what we were "going to do" the entire semester and never actually taught us anything. He keeps saying we're going to visit the court houses but we never do. Also, this class was basically an ad for his Alpha Phi Sigma group.

This class is literally so easy. Idk how anyone fails. Total of 4 discussion posts and like 4 tests and a few quizzes. Hes understanding and you dont need much to pass i PROMISE.

The one thing I want to say is that Professor Meade may be tough but he does it because he cares about his students and wants his class to pass. He provides lots of helpful information about each chapter and always helps with extra credit. He is always helpful in and outside of class and is always there for you. Always be prepared for class.

Professor Meade makes class interesting by connecting topics to personal experiences in his career. Attendance is graded, and he often reviews with the class for exams. He uses a lot of quizzes and extra credit for police, courts, and corrections events. He cares about his students and connects them to the community. His syllabus is flexible.

Professor Meade should easily have 5 stars! He makes the class very digestible with his lectures. He is funny and very engaging. You have to listen and put in the work. He provides you with opportunites for off campus learning, amongst other things. I will take his other classes. Put in the effort and you will walk away with so much knowledge.
