Dr Anderson is a very nice guy. He's so smart. He gives you up to 20 points for class participation. If you need help just go talk to him. His class is very interesting.This was his first semester at ECU. He is also the department head. Take advantage of bonus points that he gives you if you pass a quiz it wont hurt you it can only help you.

I had him for crime and criminality in the summer. He's a great teacher and very helpful, but he moves pretty fast. It gets tough to keep up with the notes. If you take good notes, you will get an A. If you're having trouble, go see him...he's very helpful. Take him if you get the opportunity.

Like taking a class taught by Van Wilder. He tells you what exactly to write down and will repeat it if necessary. Will give a sentence and say "write that down." Do the paper. Tests are easy. Lots of bonus points. Attendence is mandatory.

He is a really good teacher, just go see him during his office hours and you will do fine. The class is not hard at all. Please talk in class, he likes that.

I really enjoyed Dr. Anderson..there is a paper you have to do, but he will look over it for you and help you with it if you need the help. his test are semi hard, you have to go to class and you need to study..but overall hes a really nice guy!

I thought he was a good teacher...he just needs more than 50 minutes to convey the material. READ your textbook, his lectures/test are from it. If you read you'll be fine. Attend class...he will help you if you are respectful to him and go to him for it, he really will. The kids who say he's not nice obviously didn't put forth any effort.

love dr anderson!

Dr. Anderson knows what he's talking about BUT he talks down to the student. Attendance is mandatory and there is a 10 page paper at the end of the semester which isn't bad as bad as it sounds. Read the book!! Tests are not difficult if you read and e-mail him to get the power points. This class seems pointless but its required.

Dr. Anderson actually isn't that bad. I heard horror stories before taking this class but after taking it I can say he's actually a good professor. If you GO to class and PAY attention to his lectures he gives good examples of the material which makes it much much easier to understand. Reading before class helps, need the book & can miss 3 classes.

Dr. Anderson is a great professor. I have had him for 2 Graduate classes and I think he is the best professor in the department that I have had so far. He gives fair grades, but don't think you can do the bare minimum and get by. You must read the textbook, study hard, and be ready to participate in class, because his exams are academic marathons.

Tough class. First exam class avg was in 40s. 15 page paper due. highest in class was in 80s

Didn't have a problem w/the class or Dr. Anderson. Very helpful when I asked for help. Read the book and follow directions and you will be fine. Sounds like the "sour grapes" reviews are from students who missed class, didn't read, and didn't take it serious...coming from an alum!

Lectures are hard to keep up w unless u follow along in the book-all slides are in text so highlight for easy studying-Term paper is hard but he will literally work w u paragraph by paragraph-- Just ask!! Many students got C's D's & failed but w persistence I pulled an A so it can be done- this class stretched me and it has helped me learn & grow!

I would say he is a good teacher when he is going through the powerpoint and such. I can understand him. The test are hard. I studied still had a time on the test. Paper is hard from what other people told me he is not hepful when it comes to the paper. I have to retake the class next semester.

It was an alright class. I wouldn't say it's to difficult as long as you pay attention and does what he says. The first test is the hardest, but after that they're much simpler. Read the textbook and get the powerpoints if possible!

I think Anderson is funny. Failed the first test. The other test are a lot easier. Don't wait till the last minute to write the paper like I did, lucky I got an 88. Read your textbook. He teaches straight from it. Gives pop quizzes so go to class. Overall good professor, just pay attention.

Just read the book, and answer questions in class you should do well

Dr. Anderson is a good teacher, but DO NOT go into this class thinking you can slack.You must pay attention and go to class if you want to be successful.If you need help just ask him for it. Stay after class, ask questions and go to his office hours! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE ON THE RESEARCH PAPER BECAUSE YOU WILL FAIL. Good luck!

If you come to class and read the chapters you will be fine. The first test is EXTREMELY difficult, but they get much easier after that. The research proposal(paper) you have to do is very hard. He gives quiz's in class that count as extra credit points. Only drawback is he gets aggravated if you don't understand something immediately. Good teach

Anderson is not bad! I was so scared to have him as a professor but as long as you go to class and go over the power points you'll be fine. The first test is hard but the following ones are not as bad. There is a 10 page paper but the first 5 pages are just siting other people's work anyway! I had no idea what I was doing and I got a B!

Dr. Anderson is a very good teacher. He expects you to read course material before attending class, and participate as much as possible. The paper is tough and he's a stickler. Go by his office if you need help. Make sure you attend classes on a regular bases, or he WILL FAIL YOU, THREE Days MAX!!!!

He was an amazing professor. He expects you to have read the course material before coming to class, and is a pretty tough grader but he's extremely knowledgeable and more than happy to help.

Lectures a lot, but over all not bad. Just attend class and read the book, don't procrastinate on the paper he'll make you do.

Dr. Anderson is a pretty good professor. He is very helpful when it comes to writing papers. Study the power points because thats where his test questions come from.

Dr. Anderson was a great teacher very formal and educated. He knows what he is talking about and expects for you to know what you are talking about. He wants you to come to class prepared and focused. His first test is the hardest, doesn't give minuses and gives participation pts. so talk! Take the paper seriously and go to his office hours for it!

Dr. Anderson is a very intelligent, knowledgeable, and experienced professor. The tests are difficult and the paper requires effort but that should be expected for a 3000 level class. if you go to his office and asks questions you will do fine. He is a nice man who simply wants his students to put effort into his class.

He's not bad if you actually want to learn and come to class

I would without a doubt recommend Anderson for anyone who wants to learn. He is a hard professor, but this is not a hard class if you actually prepare and study before tests. I made an A on his proposal without him even looking at it. Apply yourself and you will do just fine. PS. make sure that you talk because he does give participation points.

Dr. Anderson is a good person and a very good TEACHER. For his class you really have to apply yourself though. You will learn things if you pay attention. For the tests, understand concepts and how they relate to more than just themselves. Don't just memorize. See him early and often for his proposal assignment.

Dr. Anderson is one of the best, yet toughest professors I've ever had. He makes you work for your grade but in the process teaches you that hard work definitely pays off. If you want an A in the course, make sure to visit his office hours, especially for the paper. He gives great feedback & is always willing to help.

Dr. Anderson isn't bad as people make him out to be. He's fair, he wants you to learn the material and is willing to help you. This isn't a class that you can just get by on if you aren't putting in the work. I think he's a good teacher, he just doesn't like slackers. Go to office hours and definitely participate in class.

Dr. Anderson is probably one of the HARDEST professors ive ever had. Honestly, i've been able to slide by all of my CJ classes by studying for tests the night before, but not this one. His notes are directly from the book. You must TALK IN CLASS. the points he gives you at the end of the semester really matter. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS for the paper.

Its really not as bad as people have made it out to be very easy to make A's and B's on exams if you take the time to study it a few days prior. For the proposal just get ahead of the due date and go see him in his office hours and he will guide you and help you make a good grade. He awards participation points and extra credit so go to class.

I'm not gonna lie, this class is difficult, you have to read the book and you can't slack in his class. He pays attention to who participates and cares and it does matter. His tests are difficult and his research paper is strict. But, if you show him that you care and put the effort in to this class you'll be okay. Don't expect to slide by with him

Don't be put off by Dr. Anderson and some of the horror stories. Study hard, READ THE BOOK, and get started on the paper EARLY. Go to his office hours early in the semester too. He is not unreasonable, he just expects the highest quality of work

This is a hard class no matter the teacher. Dr. Anderson was very approachable and very willing to help his students during office hours. Go to class or you will fall behind on notes as he doesn't post them until the end of chapters. He doesn't post grades AT ALL so keep up with your exam grades if you want to know your current grade.

Dr. Anderson is one of the smartest individuals I have come across. His class is very interesting however, you have to put in the work in order to pass this class. You can't miss more than two days, or you fail the class. Tests come straight from the book, so read! It is a very stressful class however I am glad I took it. Go to his office hours!!
